Post patch:
FG% Higher
Passes definitely have more zip.
More mid range/less pull up 3's
Shooting Easier/Meter Slower/Did the SS HOF settings somehow revert to 50's somehow?
Layups Easier
Defense not as sticky
Game a little more wide open/Arcady.
Defensive Rotations still poor although on occasion surprisingly well done.
Fastbreaks are now possible
Double Team cpu nonsense leaving players wide open under the basket still exists and is a game killer, IMO.
Still can't get transition defense right after free throw make or miss. Legacy Issue.
Poorest out of the box effort I can recall from 2K. Game appears to be a couple of patches or some serious slider manipulations away from living up to its legacy.
