NBA 2K12 Patch 1.04 Available Now - Post Impressions Here (PS3, 360)

[Rockie_Fresh88]

passing has improved 5x! makes the gameplay so much better. Also Cpu misses more contested shots especially in the paint. Also it seems the mirroring Defense has been tone downed but it could be a placebo, but it feels like it has. It seems easier to drive. Open shots go in more for the user. cpu buzzer beaters have been toned down

Some negatives:
CpU Defense Recovers wayy too fast when beaten off the dribble or on fastbreaks even with slower players.
CPU abusing pump fakes and up and under move is still there. (Can be fixed with custom rosters)

Allstar default feels very good now. Custom Rosters and minor slider ajustments will make this game fantastic a wonder. The only problem i have gameplay wise is the recovery speed of the defense.

I'll answer some questions

I'm sorry guys, but I gotta post again. Like I told one poster in another thread, I'll point give criticism when criticism is due, but I also will give praise when praise is do. The super warpy CPU defenders that were present in the last patch are now gone it seems (I'm currently playing on Hall of Fame/Sim). I'm able to beat guys off the dribble again. #fistpump

And I'm getting every foul call! In fact, I'm getting annoyed shooting free throws!! 2k, whatever do, don't address that LOL. That's more of a testament to my aggressive playstyle. I'm getting the fouls that I rightfully deserve. I finally feel like I can get back to an X's and O's mentally against the computer on the highest level and actually hold my own!!!

Anyway here were the stats before I hopped online.

34-29 Cavaliers leading at half, 7 min quarters.

Davis - 12 5/7
Varejao 6 3/3
Sessions 4 2/3
Tristan Thompson 2-4-2 1/2

55%, 40% from 3, 14 boards, 18 PIP, 4FBP

----------

Walker 8 4/10 (I was forcing it with him just cause he's a blast) 2 blocks
Diaw 7 3/4
Augustin 6 2/3
Maggette 5 2/5

44%, 42% from 3, 11 boards, 10 PIP, 3FBP


This game seems lovable, but I like the challenge of fending off cheesers online so I've gotta see what that feels like now, or if it's still floaty online.

cpu actually misses open jumpers now.


you can actually pass to cutters in the paint now...no more of that B.S. low one-handed pass that got swatted down every time.

If the mirroring is there, it's not as obvious as before. I have noticed boxing out on free throws, but not so much on regular shots. However, I am noticing improved rebounding from my team when I max out crash boards. Before, it seems like that coaching slider was irrelevant. So far, I've been able to get penetration when the situation warrants it. I'm just halfway through the first quarter, and I've already attempted 7 free throws. That comes from me playing aggressive and trying to get points inside. I hope that answers your question.

Now it is patched for those who are not good...Fantastic

It was only a matter of time...

If you guys could give some quick online impressions, that would be great, i.e are things like steal bashing punished with more foul calls or are they just less effective while still moving you around? Are the delayed animations, particularly the delayed block animations when you go to block a layup, gone now? And of course 3pt percentages and contesting shots, as well as staying in front of guys without sliding on D, are they all a bit better? Talking strictly online now. Any feedback would be great.

mirrioring defense Is way less obvious now. But it seems the recovery times of the cpu is wayy too fast.
