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

[Illuminati]

The shooting looks a lot sloppier, that's all I can really take away from this patch tbh

[tonyt8605]

Someone who is knowledgeable of 2k12 and patch 1.03 please answe these two questions:

1) Since I am not an avid online player, how did this patch help/afect offline play?

2) Also, if I'm curently in an association do i need to start a new one to play with the patch?

Thanks!

Even if the OKC, NY, GSW players didn't spam the mid against you (they most certainly did against me and believe me my D ain't half bad) the thing is the mid slider is just to high. It's not about hiting open shots. It's about not being able to sag off players like Rondo etc, it's about playing perfect D on the likes of Kobe, Melo, Durant etc and them still scoring in the 50%. Tried a shimmy shot with KG, or a fadeaway from postup position with Dirk? It's 80% shots. So when people find that out they just spam it. If the realization rate for mid would be just a bit lower (it was almost right in 2k, still a tad high if you ask me) it would force users to vary their shot selection. And that's what it is about. There are certain stars that should excell in their perimeter game but not when you double or tripple team them.

good point but u cant make everyone less effective just because someone is spamming a players go to move. its just something you have to live with.

gameplay is better offline. defensive rotation is much better.

no u dont need to start over.

i play offline on all star sim and i was having great games before the patch just needed to adjust defensive tendencies for players and coach profile. i was able to defend enough 3pters and was 6-2 using the jazz.
after the patch the mid range and 3 pt game is gone for me. it seems that i m bricking alot of wide open js. did they change the timing on shot release?
cpu are still able to make about 80% of their shots in comparison to pre patch.
a.i teammates seem to be a tat better on d rotation.
1 aspect that i think got worse also is the rebounding. off reb is pretty much non existence now ans d reb got harder i dont know why.

i have been 0-3 after patch losing about 20-30pts a game. hhmmm....

@RawDeal Did you notice if the frame rate hitches (stuttering) was fixed?

no, release ,selection along with rating should determing success. That extra piece gave people reason to use practice mode. This simplistic mechanic is horrible. 2k8 and 2k11 had it right. No team should be pickup and play like they are in 2k12

as i recall ALL nba, college, players practice shot releases , shooting is a bball 101 fundemental. perhaps you enjoy the new style be cause you can score easier but truthly its broken. Win i lose to someone i want to know that they learned a team and beat me fair. My little brother doesnt even need to know releases in 2k12 with kobe because its a button tap while in 2k11 he whined because he neglected practice mode and couldnt shoot with kobe at high %. bottom line its dumbed down this year alot with other aspects.

Thanks rawdeal for the answer!

A general question to the public. I look around the sliders section and see a lot of different types. My question is, do the majority of 2k12 gamers actually change sliders or stick to the default or sim?

This patch sounds bad. Seems like they changed things that werent broke. Will wait until it drops for 360 to judge it though
