How is the speed online??? Does it still feel clunky and like your playing the game at half speed???

Its because the 2K Insider roster updates has all the pg's tendencies just alike. 2K really needs to fix the tendencies in this game, it would improve the game even more. Stuff like this and bigs doing crossover moves on the perimeter is a tendencies issue that 2K needs to address in the roster updates. Also the lack of aggresive star pg's sg's and sf's that drive to the lane and always spin or pass out of the shot. 2K has alot of players attack the basket tendency much lower than there pass out tendency.

Also I got a interesting question. I noticed after the patch my NBA Today screen is still displaying the matchups/schedule for what have beent the 82 game season, but I thought after the patch the NBA Today feature would update to the current post lock out schedule? Has anyone's NBA Today menu/screen shown the current/accurate scheduled games? Maybe it will update today since I think preseason games start today?

I have yet to try but from what I've read its like the players are on crack and in hyper mode.

Nah, it feels fine to be honest. I'll test some more just in case

After really trying to get used to the little nuances this year's game has, I think I'm going back to 2k11. My biggest gripe is the lack of controller response when performing moves. I don't understand how or why the response time could be worse than last years game.

Not to bash anyone who enjoys it, I just feel like this was 3 steps forward, and 4 steps back this year.
When I play these videogames I expect them to be fun with modest difficulty but it should not be this frustrating to enjoy a videogame!

Alot I things are done right, but most of the issues are fundamental flaws that should be expected to work in any basketball game whether it be a "Sim" or arcade style.

Passing: I'm glad they tuned the lead passing, but how on earth did this game ship with slow floaty passes? You can't say it's user error when the devs tried to patch it. Passing should never need to be patched in a basketball video game period!

Physic CPU defense- I know they try to make the game challenging but my button press should not trigger the CPU's! It's like they know what I'm doing before I do!

I have learned my lesson though thats for sure. I will never buy anymore of these sports games on release day anymore. The fact that its December and the game is still being worked on its laughable. I am aware of the crunched development cycle these guys are under, but spending 65 bucks for a game on release day then waiting 2 months before its patched is crazy.

I get excited for every basketball release ever year, but I now understand why some of the guys on here wait till black Friday to pick up the game.

I *think* this is better than pre-patch, but I still see possessions here and there where the CPU just freezes and then launches one from 3 feet beyond the arc. Given how much the CPU is likely to cheeze me at the end of the game, I tend to take it as a gift.

Yep.

Pretty much agreed.

Though the patch made this game slightly better, it's still annoying as hell.

You CANNOT defend these damn layups, even when you try to defend, you get a foul called on you.
