Nope, I found out what it was. As soon as I turned on the online features, like NBA Today, my performance took a huge dive. I just happened to reformat and hadn't signed back into 2k and it ran perfect. Signed in to check if the patch was up through 2k Share, chop city. Disconnected from 2k, perfect again. Needless to say, I don't have myself signed in anymore. Don't really need it. I'm an Association/offline player. Maybe the patch will let me have the online components running without a performance hit. But, if it doesn't, no biggie. I found my sweet spot with the game. BTW, what are you running for processor and RAM? I've got 8gig DDR2 and a Phenom 9550. It'd be nice to have a better vid card than my HD4670, but my PSU is a stock 350 watt. Did the best I could. I do have a 650 watt in my home built, but it doesn't have the proper mods to run the setup that HP put in here. That's why I hate pre-builts. But, hey, it was free. I'll make due!
