NBA 2K10 Patch Available, Post Impressions Here (PS3)

Re: NBA 2K10 Patch Available, Post Impressions Here (PS3)

Gameplay wise it damn well better be better than CH2K8.

Association never did a great job at holding my attention in the past, especially compared to legacy mode in CH. We shall see though, I'm excited to get familiar with this game.

I'm kind of like you. I haven't been into association since I joined my first online league. I mostly play online. I playing human opponent because they're unpredictable....and everyone has different style of play. CPU doesn't really offer that yet. Probably in the next gen of gaming. I'm so addict to the gameplay. That I need to get at least one game a day.

Reading this thread, it seems that I really need to quit playing the My Player mode and start an Association so I could truly enjoy the beauty of the game.

Other than on-court action, My Player is still a horrible mess. That has held my controller down.

After the patch, my system froze while I was playing my Warriors association. Therefore my save data was corrupted. So I thought that would be a good time to try out My Player mode. I had heard folks around here talking bout it. That's honestly something I can live without. The association is where it's at. Personally for me I love the off-season. I downloaded Darebirths draft classes which are awesome.

Man oh man….I’m loving the user blocks. Last night I played a game where I had 8 blocks with LeBron James. All 8 of them by me. I wish I could of saved the replays. But can’t save them online and also the guy quit after the 4<SUP>th</SUP> fourth quarter. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o></o>

I enjoy My Player Mode more than Association.. Each mode would frustrate me until the patch.. The movement before was horrible and sometimes your player would do the opposite of what you were wanting and now after the patch whoever you are controlling seems to listen more and with more fluidity of movement.

After about two hours with the game (an hour playing and an hour simming in Assoc) I gotta say the patch really makes a world of a difference with this game. It is much, much better than 2K9 to me. It was nice to get some extended time vs the CPU too instead of primarily playing humans like I had with pre-patch 2K10.

While I don't care of the controls still (always hated isomotion and the L-stick control of your player is nothing to write home about) they aren't atrocious from what I've seen, though the pale in comparison to the other game.

The first thing I noticed after spending all my NBA gaming time with the other game the last two months is how much better the CPU AI is in 2K10. They read and react so well (as in with CH2K8) and will punish you for your defensive mistakes. Things don't feel as scripted since no DNA is dictating what a player should do in that situation, merely a tendency plus the defense's situation/position/etc. It feels like the D's position is the primary reason for the CPU AI's decisions on offense which is great, in the other game it seems like their DNA/tendency is the primary factor and they don't really care where the D is on most possessions.

The contact in the paint was really improved in with the patch, I could still get in there a little too easily but it's not like the CPU was rolling out the red carpet anymore. The animations are also so beautiful in this game, while it's simply eye candy it doesn't provide more "wow" moments and inject more realism into the game.

Association mode seems much better this year for some reason, more streamlined maybe. It just seems less chaotic. I love that it prompts you mid-Assoc if you want to DL a draft class right then and there. I simmed two years with the Knicks and was able to land Melo in 2011, naturally I saved that Association though I used a made up draft class for the 2011 draft, we'll have to see if I stick with that Assoc.

Absolutely agree.

Just played a game where the CPU made a concerted effort to get the ball inside and get some of my guys in foul trouble in the second half. Very impressed with the AI overall, though it was frustrating to watch my lead evaporate from nine at one point and turn into a 103-89 loss.

Haven't even touched the sliders, other than foul settings. I'm on default Pro with 12 minute quarters.

Hello, I purchased NBA 2K10 a couple of weeks ago but have yet to open it(ala Xbox not back from the shop yet). Has the patch really fixed all the bugs and issues or would I be better off getting my money back.

Open that thing up and enjoy. I wouldn't say "all" issues have been fixed, but this is about as good as it gets. Great game post-patch.

Yep. With Pared's Sliders + Custom Music + Rocky's Playbooks the offline gameplay experience is something to behold.

Just got it. I was busy playing the new improved post patch 2 Madden and Assassins Creed II. Had rented both b-ball games and thought 2k10 was a great game from the door and clearly superior. The posts have me hyped! uh oh Philly just intercepted Atltanta for a TD.....gotta go!!!

Quick Question with the Patch, do you think it is necessary to restart a current Association that was started before the patch? Or would the affects of the patch be felt in the current Association?

I'm playing on the PC so I just want to know in advance since the patch comes out in January for us.
