NBA 2K12 Patch 1.03 Released (PS3) - Patch Notes

[ffaacc03]

Post Patch Impressions:

- Searching opponents takes a ton less, on both: ranked vs and teamup.

- Defense is much tighter, thus it has been like that since the shoe D/L.

- Of around 10 games of teamup, only one crashed ... it was one with 10 users and it did, when in the screen where you vote the teams out ... it started lagging badly and then went to the counting screen where you wait once an opponent gets out ... kept counting down 14 to 0 over and over again until after the 15th time I gave up and had to quit the game.

- Now you dont always have to wait the 14 seconds once a player quits when a team up game has started. Sometimes you do, sometimes you dont.

- The game still lags for me everytime there are more than 6 players and becomes almost unplayable when more than 8. Might be my connection but I see other leaving, so its for all involved.

- While I have yet to see a network error on any of both modes, am now seeing more no other players remain messages, a bit more often ... on teamup.

- The contested 3s are going in a less rate, maybe due to the influence of both, the D not beeing overly focused on drives and more focus on shooters and because of a toned down succcess rate. The again, there are a few that still go in when shot by good players (Dirk, Allen) but is tolerable. In a few games I have seeing %s in the 50 & 60 but when I look at the attempts is way less than 10.

- Since I regulary play two really steal spammers, I have become less prone to lose the ball by an on ball steal, but after this patch, I only lose the ball once a game at most. Like it. If only there were a bit more reaching fouls and if the passing lanes steals were toned down just a tad bit.


* My only question is, have this patch solved all the insane amount of OA disconnects ? ... prior it, couldnt play a single game out of 20 tries with around 8 different users of 2 OA I was a part of. Quit both since I didnt wanted to hamper the others experience and since my teams were getting most of the simmed wins.


In sum, liked the patch and just hope they keep listening and addressing all the gameplay & game modes issues as well as the omissions of the already pointed out needed online options.

After playing a full game online, the patch has definitely made the game better. The particular game I played had some lag, but it wasn't so much that it distracted from the gameplay too much. The only gripe I really have is that more reach-in fouls need to be called. The cheeser I played with kept steal spamming the entire game, and while he only got about 2 steals out of the 100 he attempted playing this game, reach-in fouls should have been called at a greater rate. If 2K can fix the fouls in the next patch, this game will be a sim player's paradise online. Cheesers never prosper!! I ended up winning 70-61 with the New Jersey Nets against the OKC Thunder (I love when I beat a cheeser with a bottom 5 team).

My game freezes everytime I start a game after downloading the patch! what do I do??

As far as online goes, cheesers can still play frantically and keep the game close. The game is not rewarding patient players because the passing is still an issue. While I did notice a slight increase in user passing, the defense is still able to cover ground to intercept and deflect passes at an unrealistic pace. If they can incorporate true player movement that utilizes weight and momentum properly and get rid of the sliding, that would fix that problem altogether.

It's infuriating where I have a clear path to the basket and the cheeser's defense is able to collapse and recover because my player is artificially slowed down while driving to make this happen. Anyway, it was still rewarding having a cheeser quit just now in the fourth. Muahahahah

I had a bigger problem with fadeaways being more successful than they should be (Pre-patch on the 360) than I did with straight up mid j's.

I called this quite a while ago. It's why I say some here will NEVER be happy.

You may have to delete all your game data if you can't access your profile and settings separately. If you can, try deleting these first as it's most likely something being auto-loaded and corrupt.
