Third Roster Update fixed gameplay?

[vannwolfhawk]

I noticed the difference in the 1st game i played. Once again I will have to go tweak slider sets to adjust for the 3rd time. I went back to the old rosters after downloading #3 last night and the game was once again great! IMO they blew it with this update! I have NO idea where people are getting there this is great impressions from. This is NOT great! They took a great SIM game and made it NBA live2k and arcade! I ask WHY? Why mess with something you scored 9.5's on? Now it's down to a 7.5 IMO. Again I ask WHY???????

I disagree.. Still plays as a sim.. Blocks are a little easier. I might go back to my roster file anyhow though

To get this update, you can either:

1) turn "Living Roster" on in the Load/Save option and reboot the game (make sure you are connected to the server as the game loads up)

2) In the Quick Game menu where you select your teams, just select Living Roster Option and the newest roster will download in order for you to play NBA TODAY games

3) Login online within the game and download the latest Roster in 2K Share from the Official 2K Roster Update menu

Positives from the Roster Update:
What I noticed from the latest Roster Update is that there is alot more off the ball movement now, cpu players are not standing behind the arc waiting for you to call a play. Teammates actually try to get free or set picks w/o having the user to call them. There seem to be alot more reaction after a dunk (Lebron flexed his muscles and showed more emotion more often after a nasty one)

Negatives from the Roster Update:
It feels easier to get by your man now and go up for a dunk. I see alot less mid-air collisions but now there are more blocks by the help defender. You can combat these issues by reducing the Blocking attribute in the game slider to 45. Wish they didn't make it easier to attack the rim tho, and didn't reduce the amount of mid-air collisions.

Hopefully the 4th Roster update polishes everything so that there's a happy medium between the "Stock Roster" and the "10/13 Roster" with more mid-air collision, harder to attack the basket and with more off-ball movements.

The people who supposedly downloaded? and are playing with the new rosters are just talking around them and not explaining anything at all.

All you need to do is be connected to Xbox Live or PSN when you turn the game on. This is a Living Roster update.

Does it have effect on game play on an existing Association?

[eko718]

Not sure about that as I have not started an association yet. I also can't tell yet whether it is specific to that newest roster or an internal game change that affects all existing rosters/modes.
