Player movement was much less herky-jerk. And, yes, the Ref bounced the ball on free throws. Really enjoyed my first game post-pach. Seems much more polished. Only thing that was a ? was at the end of the game. The Nets should've have intentionally fouled a bit more IMO. They were only down 8 with 1:30 to go. Should've tried some IF's to extend the game. Still much more of a realistic experience. Good job, 2k. Worth the wait....

Now can you see why 2k hasn't come out of my system for a few months now.....lol

I have to pick up my copy.

If u don't mind answering a ?. Did u notice your cpu controlled players playing better D on the perimeter? Pre-patch the AI would make your cpu controlled players leave the cpu wide open for a lot of threes or jumpers. Has this changed at all? Realistically it happens on occasions but not as often as it does in this game. Thanks in advance for your response.

So it would appear that the PC version now is the most playable version because of the fixes above, even moreso over the 360/PS3 versions?

Am I accurate in saying this cause I'm probably going to spend the $20 and buy it from direct2drive tonight.

Better D across the board from the CPU. My only niggle is that my NPC Defenders were still getting moments of brain-death, leaving a whole lot of backdoors for the CPU. But it just feels more physical. I actually fouled out Lopez. There were a lot more collision in the paint and a lot of foul calls that I don't remember pre-patch. I also was struck by how many more fighting over/around picks animations that I don't remember seeing play out pre-patch. I'm really digging a lot of little stuff that I'm seeing. The player movement still isn't like NBA Live, IMO. But much more true to life. If I got a three, it was from ball movement and my player running off of a pick. Still a few quirks, but really a great game of B-Ball now.... Gonna play some more later, to make sure that I'm not doing the "placebo effect." But, after one game, I'm inclined to say, "no, it's really a lot better!"

Can't remember. Should've done a box-score screen shot. Sorry. If you don't have it later, I'll get one up. Gotta go run some errands this AM, will be playing this afternoon. But I did notice that the chrge/block seems much more balanced and there were more fouls across the board, on both sides. And they felt legit.

agreed on the fouls.

I'm happy with the patch overall too. 5 months is a ridiculous amount of time to wait for one, but they did do a good job.

p.s. Does raising the durability slider increase injuries? and I had to put the hustle and quickness down to 0 for me and up to 100 for the cpu, otherwise I could just blow by everyone.
