Up and under in the post is better now. Contact happens more often.

Game is still cheesy online. Superstars still make defensive players drop to the ground without a charge call. I was getting charge calls with Anderson Varejao though. Good thing I plan to not spend so much time online.

me 3 ..i like the patch especially the improvements in reaching fouls...but they need to fix this no VC glitch now

My gut tells me this is deliberate.

People have been exploiting Coach Mode since launch, so my guess is turning on Coach Mode at any time during the game disables the ability to get VC for that game.

Now, if you played the whole game start to finish with the controller in your hands, and still didn't get it...yeah, that is a problem.

Kills me that there still is no way to create contact on layups and dunks to prevent the animation from completing.

I have to relearn myCareers shot release, only yesterday I can hit 5-7 on ONLINE Blacktop, now 1-7, WTF? Same release since I started myCareer, helped me get 100+ points in a game, but its driving me mad, just like what I heard IKC said, the Patch needs to be patched, offline shooting, idk, feels the same, but online, needs to at least more easy on BLACKTOP, not the quick games, but Blacktop was meant to be the NBA JAM mode, not a Superstar-difficulty with Simulation sliders. I know I sound like a complainer about shooting, but I have to re learn the timing that I excelled in for about 3 months, which isn't good.

If it's really that hard for you to 'relearn' your shot, maybe you should go and find an easier one. Seriously. You're not going to hit 80% of your threes on blacktop anymore unless you take careful, smart, open shots. I ran a couple of games with a friend of mine and found no trouble in hitting 4-7 from the three point line. All it takes is good, smart ball movement and being able to move around off the ball.

Nowhere did 2k say Blacktop was meant to be the "NBA Jam" mode. Plus, it's still easy to dunk at will on people. Seriously, just play real basketball. It seems they want it to play more like a semi-realistic pick-up game, which this patch really helped do. Defense is more effective on Blacktop now, allowing the defensive signature skills to actually mean something.

It's a simulation basketball game. Try playing it like a real basketball game. This isn't MyPlayer on Pro settings where you can drop as many points as you can with such ease. That's cheap and boring if you ask me.. (and most likely 70% of other OS members.)

Hello guys,

maybe someone could help me by providing info where exactly I should upload downloaded patch file into my X-360 HDD? I don't have online access and my X-360 has been updated from "standard" to JTAG (RGH).
For example for rosters updates I use flash FXP soft I just drop file into appropriate folder.
So which "correct" folder should be for successful patch update?
Thanks a lot in advance!

I am a keen my Career player. this is not a big issue and im not whining....but will we have to hear our players nickname 80% of the time for the next year?

Re: NBA 2K13 Patch 1.02 Released, Details Included, Post Your Impressions Here (PS3,

A little annoying trend since the patch is that i'm finding it impossible for me to hold the CPU under 50% shooting. in 4 games with various teams they have all shot over 50%.

Yes, and it's because while the arena announcer says your player's last name if it's one already pre-programmed, that's because the arena announcer is the same for all situations & game modes and paid only to read out the preloaded names and the NBA roster names. The announcers though (Kerr, Clark, and Kevin, as well as Doris Burke) are paid a lot of money for their commentary and 2k understandably isn't going to pay them all that extra money to record the names of countless preprogrammed last names when they could just record the 10 or 12 nicknames instead and save time and money.

It makes sense honestly.

I don't have that problem the announcers and the pa announcer says both my last name Mckenzie and nickname black hole 50-50 the lady says my nickname only but everybody else is 50-50 I like it

Why players pc version no longer need to wait for the patch. Just buy the game and have the same problems to tire. What did the patch in March, as the game I manage to get bored already ...
I do not understand this approach 2K

FOR ONLINE PLAYERS:

I play exclusively online and I must say THERE IS HARDLY ANYTHING DIFFERENT in gameplay after the patch dropped!

I stopped playing ranked matches altogether because of the cheese and knowing it was set on the PRO difficulty and just focused on our sim league just to get a good clean game in. I recently started playing ranked matches again bc my subs liked seeing me beat the 95% of cheese heads you come across in quick matches, and I wanted to get a feel of the bs in the gameplay before the patch dropped so I can really feel the difference after they released the patch.

The Good:
The spamming of the steal button is NO MORE! They upped the foul calls so on almost every steal attempt you will get the foul call. What I don't like about this however is if you're not the type that pounds the X button (or square for ps3) and stay disciplined on D, you still get fouls called against you because the damn cpu will do all the reaching for you! And sorry to say but this is all that's good about the patch...

The UGLY!!!

1. 3's are back with a vengeance and it seems like it's gotten WORSE. I have played with almost every different type of team and play style from the Lakers to the Bobkittens and it's all the same! Jamal Crawford, Barganini, Terrance Ross, Harrison Barnes all the way down to Steve Blake just to name a few are RayAllenReggieMillerSteveKerrMarkPrice all rolled in to one DEADLY type shooters. It's just sad.

2. Offensive Rebounding is just...I played against the Celtics using the Pacers and I swear Jason Terry kept tipping the ball in the air over Hibbert grabbing 4 offensive rebounds in ONE possession and I will just leave it at that.

3. You are damn near helpless going against Lebron, Kobe, Melo (who is worst than Kobe) ect. so don't bother giving yourself a headache going against any of these superstars because if you don't know how to play the most effective defense using different adjustments and strategies as you go, don't even bother.

4. The sh!t is STILL on PRO!!!
Ronnie2k said the game starts off on pro to cater to the casuals but one of the changes they make when working on the patch is upping the difficulty but this clearly hasn't happened.

If you play online and a Sim head like myself your best bet is to do what I've done and start or join a sim league that caters best to your play style and leave the ranked matches to the virgin money tourney players because it's rare you get a decent game...im jus sayin.

Check out my video on my thoughts on the patch so far...you aint doing sh!t else: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCNnLLtMDLU

Yeah I play the today games manually I don't do coach mode...

Re: NBA 2K13 Patch 1.02 Released, Details Included, Post Your Impressions Here (PS3,

My impressions:

+ Rebounding now works as it should.Boxing out is effective.
+ Cpu fast breaks now are more realistic both in numbers and flow.
+ D is improved especially in the paint.Contact is better (it's easy to see this because in my sliders I had the contact layup values at 100 - now it's back to sim values).
+ Help D is significally improved (moved back the specific slider at sim value).
+ Blocks are increased and the timing is better.
+ Number of fouls is increased, especially reach-in fouls.
+ Noticed new animations and on-the-fly camera cutscene in blocking fouls.
+ PiP are reduced but not so much (tweaks still needed).
+ Court-to-court passes are more realistic.
+ 3pt tendecies in Association are finally fixed.

- The cpu still abuses the paint. Slider tweak is required: Backdoor cuts for cpu at 0 is highly recommended. For now I left Attack The Basket at default but it needs more testing.
- Run plays bug in coach profiles is still not fixed. It's backwards again.So if you want the cpu to run more plays you need to even set the slider at 0 or calculate the difference from 100 (example: if the slider for a team is 75, change it to 25. If it is 95, set it to 5 etc).
- Cpu shot success is increased. Slider tweaking easily fixes that. (Playing on All-Star)
- Some questionable flash passes by cpu (Anyone remember that slider? It was removed after 2k11 if I'm not mistaken)

Re: NBA 2K13 Patch 1.02 Released, Details Included, Post Your Impressions Here (PS3,

Blocking is still ineffective in this game (I even have 100 blocking in sliders).

Why the hell does your defensive player try to block with their opposite hand where the ball should be going???? Example, If opposition goes for layup to your right, your defensive player tries to block with their left hand. Also when the offensive player is going for a straight line layup and you're right in front, your defensive player doesn't go straight up, they kinda jump sideways then try to block.....I mean WHAT THE F**K 2K!!!!????!!!!???
