The problem with high midrange slider has been expressed by the DaCzar quitea few times as well. But when he says it, it is pure gold when others express it they are labeled as "chronicaly unsatisfied" ...

I love the game and I think that only a few minor adjustments will make it far greater than 2k. Don't understand why someones gripes are more relevant than another ones ... Bias is in the human nature I guess.

I've played four games online since the patch. I won three and lost one in a blowout. I was getting cocky and using the Detroit Pistons: big mistake LOL. My opponent kept alley ooping the entire game with Kevin Durant, and no one on my Pistons team could stop it. And since they toned down three pointers, I was able to hit consistently with the variety of shooters that Detroit has.

The game has an arcadey feeling online still. Like I mentioned previously, the ball moves too slow and the players move too fast on defense, so opening up the floor offensively isn't as effective strategically against cheesers as it should be. Couple that with the fact that fouls aren't always called in the situations that it should be, and you can easily see while this game still isn't sim online. That doesn't mean that you can't win online playing sim. I'm 9 and 3 online overall, and I've only used the Pistons, Nets, Pacers, Wizards, and T'Wolves (I think I used the Bulls once). I'm yet to play any team outside of Miami, New York, Boston, and OKC. So, it is possible to be successful with a weaker team against a stronger team unlike in previous versions.

sounds good I can't wait too the 360 patch is released

personally I'm a fan of the fouls seeing as in the NBA every team averages over 20 FT attempts a game, and teams with stars like Miami, OKC, NY all average over 25 FT attempts a game so all the foul calling with superstars always seemed pretty realistic so I always slide the fouls up

glad the 3pt shots are fixed seems like any guy with a 3 on them can get hot even if you have your hands all over them. and help defense i thought was a big issue as well glad to see thats been tuned up seeing as I always do a fantasy association and sign top notch defenders like iggy or perkins

There is more to basketball than shot releases.... 2k12 nailed most aspects that most previous iterations failed to implement.

And if Durant or Melo shooting 40 midrange jumpers per game is ok to you ... well don't repost. Users should be rewarded for taking the shot that is most appropriate for a possesion, dunk, mid-range, 3pt or whichever and not always going to the same shot.

This is exactly why "balancing" for online is bs. This is not an issue of how the game is played, but how people cheese and will continue to cheese no matter what you do.

Because people abuse online mechanics, you want 2k to change the mechanics. In Modes like MyPlayer where offline, we can not adjust sliders, we get screwed after they "respond" to this... so what ends up happening is that instead of addressing the real issue, the mechanics get changed and offline my games get messed up... all so some online cheeser gets discouraged from doing something that they will do in another mechanic all the same.

I specifically stressed in the thread that Beluba made that 3 point accuracy wasn't necessarily the issue; defensive presence was. But what this patch has done was make defensive presence matter more, which it should, but they also decreased 3 point accuracy as well, an unnecessary change in my opinion. So now you're punished for taking good, wide open shots too.

Another thing I don't like about the patch is that it seems to have slowed down the shooting animations, which was probably a band-aid for the delayed blocking animation. It looks like this patch is slowly taking away the fundamentals of basketball in favor of "realistic" results.
