NBA 2K13 Patch 1.02 Released, Details Included, Post Your Impressions Here (PS3, 360)

[ambaRAS]

Why players pc version no longer need to wait for the patch. Just buy the game and have the same problems to tire. What did the patch in March, as the game I manage to get bored already ...
I do not understand this approach 2K

FOR ONLINE PLAYERS:

I play exclusively online and I must say THERE IS HARDLY ANYTHING DIFFERENT in gameplay after the patch dropped!

I stopped playing ranked matches altogether because of the cheese and knowing it was set on the PRO difficulty and just focused on our sim league just to get a good clean game in. I recently started playing ranked matches again bc my subs liked seeing me beat the 95% of cheese heads you come across in quick matches, and I wanted to get a feel of the bs in the gameplay before the patch dropped so I can really feel the difference after they released the patch.

The Good:
The spamming of the steal button is NO MORE! They upped the foul calls so on almost every steal attempt you will get the foul call. What I don't like about this however is if you're not the type that pounds the X button (or square for ps3) and stay disciplined on D, you still get fouls called against you because the damn cpu will do all the reaching for you! And sorry to say but this is all that's good about the patch...

The UGLY!!!

1. 3's are back with a vengeance and it seems like it's gotten WORSE. I have played with almost every different type of team and play style from the Lakers to the Bobkittens and it's all the same! Jamal Crawford, Barganini, Terrance Ross, Harrison Barnes all the way down to Steve Blake just to name a few are RayAllenReggieMillerSteveKerrMarkPrice all rolled in to one DEADLY type shooters. It's just sad.

2. Offensive Rebounding is just...I played against the Celtics using the Pacers and I swear Jason Terry kept tipping the ball in the air over Hibbert grabbing 4 offensive rebounds in ONE possession and I will just leave it at that.

3. You are damn near helpless going against Lebron, Kobe, Melo (who is worst than Kobe) ect. so don't bother giving yourself a headache going against any of these superstars because if you don't know how to play the most effective defense using different adjustments and strategies as you go, don't even bother.

4. The sh!t is STILL on PRO!!!
Ronnie2k said the game starts off on pro to cater to the casuals but one of the changes they make when working on the patch is upping the difficulty but this clearly hasn't happened.

If you play online and a Sim head like myself your best bet is to do what I've done and start or join a sim league that caters best to your play style and leave the ranked matches to the virgin money tourney players because it's rare you get a decent game...im jus sayin.

Check out my video on my thoughts on the patch so far...you aint doing sh!t else: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCNnLLtMDLU

Yeah I play the today games manually I don't do coach mode...

My impressions:

+ Rebounding now works as it should.Boxing out is effective.
+ Cpu fast breaks now are more realistic both in numbers and flow.
+ D is improved especially in the paint.Contact is better (it's easy to see this because in my sliders I had the contact layup values at 100 - now it's back to sim values).
+ Help D is significally improved (moved back the specific slider at sim value).
+ Blocks are increased and the timing is better.
+ Number of fouls is increased, especially reach-in fouls.
+ Noticed new animations and on-the-fly camera cutscene in blocking fouls.
+ PiP are reduced but not so much (tweaks still needed).
+ Court-to-court passes are more realistic.
+ 3pt tendecies in Association are finally fixed.

- The cpu still abuses the paint. Slider tweak is required: Backdoor cuts for cpu at 0 is highly recommended. For now I left Attack The Basket at default but it needs more testing.
- Run plays bug in coach profiles is still not fixed. It's backwards again.So if you want the cpu to run more plays you need to even set the slider at 0 or calculate the difference from 100 (example: if the slider for a team is 75, change it to 25. If it is 95, set it to 5 etc).
- Cpu shot success is increased. Slider tweaking easily fixes that. (Playing on All-Star)
- Some questionable flash passes by cpu (Anyone remember that slider? It was removed after 2k11 if I'm not mistaken)

[cerberus28]

Blocking is still ineffective in this game (I even have 100 blocking in sliders).

Why the hell does your defensive player try to block with their opposite hand where the ball should be going???? Example, If opposition goes for layup to your right, your defensive player tries to block with their left hand. Also when the offensive player is going for a straight line layup and you're right in front, your defensive player doesn't go straight up, they kinda jump sideways then try to block.....I mean WHAT THE F**K 2K!!!!????!!!!???

This sucks I was planning on farming VC so I could start new my career with new patch, plus there are great rosters out now. And I actually play the games 11minute quarters, no coach mode farming. Might start playing association now or more halo 4.

Had so much fun playing quick games stopped me from jumping into association.
