**DarkFudge** · 03-22-2010, 09:42 PM

stupid question but how do you know for sure the PC patch was applied?...is there a 1.1 version number on the splash screen when you start the game or is there anything significant in the patch I can look for to make sure the patch was actually applied correctly??

Im a bit paranoid

Well for some reason my AI team mates are allowing way too many open men outside and midrange (even on deny ball/play tight pressure). While my open 3pointers go wide a lot lol. I tried upping defense attributes a bit but doesnt seem to help. I recently switched to All-star on X360 and with just few minor tweaks it seems great.

On PC however it seems a lot harder against AI. I guess I need to do more slider tweaking.. or not be lazy and go over to telly + eggbox. But the AA on PC is gorgeous

I play with either the Heat, Magic or Bobcats. Heat being lower tier, Bobcats above average and Magic higher tier. So depending on who I choose to play with, the defense gives me something different. Now I'm not sure if the team defense rating is accurate but the better rated the defense the better the overall play suppose to be on that end.

When making tweaks on defense, I do so by maxing out all of the defense related sliders, and while playing a game, make the adjustments accordingly. Of course if I'm playing too strong for the cpu, I back them off until I get a happy medium.

Nothing with this game will ever be perfect so all we can do is try and make the best of what it offers.

One way you will know is by starting a game, draw a foul or foul the cpu. If the ref bounces the ball to the player at the free throw line, then the patch was applied. If he still throws it to him, the patch wasn't applied.

Also, if the patch wasn't applied, when u start 2k10 and the settings and everything finish loading, u should get a window that tells you that ur version of the game is no longer compatible to play online. It won't allow u to connect to the 2k server.

If you can upload your association blog to the 2k webiste, you have the patch.

I noticed that this game is missing something....I think its the sound of the ball dribbling, hitting off the rim and the squeaky sneaker cut sounds on the court....Its a little flat, making an otherwise fantastic game feel a bit hollow in those areas

Or is it my 5.1 surround sound system not picking up these sounds??....Cause everything else is coming in just fine. Crowd, player chatter, announcers..etc

i think an even easier way is that if you can even go online or access nba today or if the startupscreen doesnt TELL you you have the wrong version, you should have the patch. :P it kept on rubbing it in my face cause i have steam version, but someone gave me the manual directions to update and i think it worked.

Just got done playing a game on Hall of Fame with the Nets vs the Lakers. Uh, this game rocks! Is it me or did they widen the court a bit? There was tons more 'room to operate' in regards to slashing & my players rarely left the CPU open for threes like before. I was up 30-24 in the 3rd quarter (5 min quarters) & the CPU actually misses open shots now! Both teams shot in the 45% range & the game was fun as heck! Points in paint are noticeably tougher to make (IMO) & the defense is 10x better. Teammates seem aware on the court now, it seems.

Guys, after experimenting with the post patch, I am very satisfied with the gameplay.

I left everything all the game sliders at 50 (default), lowered vertical to 35 and increased defensive awareness to 55. And now the game play is perfect. It seems that game is great with the default gameplay sliders except for a few tweeks. Damn i'm loving this game now (cpu big man like Kaman, Amare are really dominating me inside with their post-moves! pre-patch not so much)

on what difficulty? what shooting percentages?

I'm really happy for the PC guys out there. Looks like you guys got the best part of the deal. I can't wait to get mines. What are the PC requirements? Haven't played a video game on PC in a while.

Well, I was playing on Pro before, but changed it to All-Star now b/c it was a bit too easy driving to the rim. I didn't want to increase the CPU on-ball defense slider on Pro b/c that would make it harder for me to shoot (get my mid-range/long-range shots to fall).

Shooting percentages are around 45%-53% for me and the cpu.

Yeah, I just said that at the end of the post you replied to. I am running the patched version, and that post was my impressions of the My Player.

I'm thinking they really didn't change much for My Player and that is why everyone is raving about the patch. They're seeing what I'm not.

Does anyone know if they addressed the franchise trades in the patch, because I just simmed a season and saw a few really good players being traded 3 or 4 times within a span of a few months. Kinda dissapointing

Got a little agitated today, Im using man to man but they still leave the players open far too often. Tried going back to PRO , adjusting sliders, still happening (and its a patched version, the refs do bounce balls

) I mostly use tight pressure.

Made a vid as well - watch Webster having all the time in the world.

Also another thing that started to annoy me a little. The automatic double team when you just want to run around a player. Didnt find a way to cancel the animation so the man I was guarding gets obviously open mostly for some nice 3

As I said before this stuff doesnt seem to be happening on my xbox version for some reason and I even play the same team with same settings.

The controls still feel extremely sluggish to me. Part is probably due to me being absolutely awful at anything isomotion (don't know any moves, iso nor in the post) but... is it even possible to use pure scorers, for example, Joe Johnson and Jamal Crawford and create some separation of the dribble for an open J?

I can't hit a jumpshot to save my life post-patch and the computer just destroys me from everywhere. If the refs didn't bounce the ball on freethrows I'd swear I'd be playing NBA 2k10 v0.9 instead of v1.1. It only seems to have gotten worse

Also... is a double-team an automatic turnover now? Stoudemire had 3 TO's on 3 doubleteams with Nash/Richardson standing at most 5 feet away (completely open).

Loving this patch, playing against the Pacers and finally I see Troy Murphy attempting 3s! Pre-patch he didn't even try to shoot a 3! Player Tendencies are alot more noticeable now with the patch.

Before the patch, the tendency values just seem to be numbers w/o meaning but now players play according to their tendencies alot more.
