You should be able to back them up on a flash drive.

The patch killed My Player.

I'm loving the new patch, I seriously didn't have any issue's with the game before the patch except for it freezing when just starting up the game and it went to load the files and settings. I also haven't had any issue's since the patch either.

Well, I've noticed the changes that was made like dunks and layups not being unstoppable anymore and now if there's any contact then it adjusts accordingly, I especially like how everyone (or at least the people that are supposed to) boxes people out when rebounding. Yes that may make offensive rebounds much harder now, but it CAN still be done. It's just a matter of position and timing, for example you might have a guy on the other team tip the ball when jumping up instead of grabbing it right away and if you time it right then you can get the rebound. I also like how the CPU now attempts to steal the ball and is subjected to the reach in foul. I could have sworn the CPU NEVER got a reach in foul before the patch.

As for the shooting thing/issues? I haven't come across any. I have noticed that I do miss a little more than usual, but I also thought it seemed correct as well depending on who, where, and when I was playing. For example, I'm using the Bulls in Association Mode (with the 91-92 version of Michael Jordan who I traded Scalabrinie for before starting the Association because I didn't like how the Create a Legend Mode worked with you just being MJ the whole time like in My Player) and I'm on the "circus road trip" that the Bulls are currently on as well (well just finished last night), and during this road trip I've noticed that on back to back games or when I had practices scheduled on each day off before a game then come the next game they would tend to miss more than they were the previous game as well as got tired faster. Then on days that I gave them a full day off or two then it would get a little better, but again it still seemed to miss a little more especially on 3 pointers when on the road compared to being at home which also would make perfect sense.

I really think 2K just made some tweaks to the game to make it a little more realistic to be honest. I mean that's what EVERYONE and their mothers were whining about and now when it's to realistic people still aren't happy and I think this was made even more apparent in My Player from what people have been saying. I know it's a video game per say, but it's a SIMULATION type video game and rookies don't come out being the all star superstar player that people were being before the patch getting 30+ points and either 10+ rebounds or assists per game. Most of the time you will come off the bench and just have to work your way from there. Plus hearing some of the people saying their player is 99 in this and that kind of already seems like they were cheesing or doing something to raise their players stats off the bat and I believe 2K was trying to stop that and put cap limits so people couldn't go and max out their players to a full 99 in everything?

The way I see it, is if you want a more "arcade" type basketball game then go and create your player and play association mode. Matter of fact, there just might be an option for you to be able to just control the one player as well instead of the whole team. Then for the people that want to play a more sim-type game like it's played in real life in the NBA then they'll go to the My Player mode or Association Mode as well.

I also agree that there should be options, but if this was what 2K wanted their game modes to be like, then everyone is just going to have to adjust and deal with it. This is what everyone wanted in the first place, was a simulation of the NBA and I think that was the main focus this year. Go to the settings and options and adjust to you see fit and play from there.

Also I have everything set to default. I don't mess with sliders or any of the settings except for calling time outs manually and maybe doing the substitutions manually sometimes. As well as 8 min quarters on the difficulty level that's the next one up from Pro. I can't remember what it was called because I just changed it recently because playing on Pro ended up getting to easy.

I used a new hdmi cord after the intial download when it was working, could that have anything to do with it?

Impressions post patch:

Is there an home court advantage? It could be just me but I find that I am more likely to hit my good release shots early in the game at home then on the road. Could be just consistency rating which is default.
Jump shot timing is different for some players and will most likely have you going back to practice mode to get it down. I play mostly offline and this is what I noticed first and I went into practice mode.
The CPU cheap steals have been reduced basically the ones where they could have their head turned and know a pass was coming. I thought the CPU had a clear advantage on certain things stealing passes was one of them and certain things being scripted. Now I think the games plays much more evenly on Allstar SIM. I had some of the best games IE realisitic between user vs. user and user vs. CPU after the patch especially against the CPU it is noticable.
Boxing out is very effective and realistic no more jet pack jumping. I had to lower vertical sliders before now back to normal.
Fast breaks I can actually fast break now and it is a thing of beauty. Bad thing is some of your players run too close to the sideline and if you throw it to them you will get the bobbled pass that takes them out of bounds. This is still better than pre patch.
The contact in the paint is very good the branching out of animations are a thing to see.
Touchdown passes seem to be effective for the CPU though as I see them doing it occassionaly.
I was waiting for this patch because I knew they would fix obvious basic gameplay issues before I started an Association and they did so in a major way for me.
I read the My Player issues and I can see problems there running plays as I read most of the users complaints. Theey seem valid but I can't comment on that or the online issues as I don't really play online and haven't started a My Player yet.

SOUND GOING IN AND OUT AT CONSTANT RATE!!! I'm playing @ Charlotte and the crowd noise and stuff is going in and out. Sounds like I'm hitting the mute/unmute button on my remote every .2 of a second!!

EXTREMELY ANNOYING 2K!! I'm not feelin this patch for what it's done to the gameplay at all!! Only good that's come out of it is the generated draft classes are better, and the association issues. Myplayer "fixes" are subjective(I personally like the changes but alot of ppl don't).

2k seriously screwed this game up gameplay wise however! Commentary falling behind the game, and eventually not speaking at all! And causes game to hang op. And now THIS!! Really annoying and on the verge of giving up playing this game until another patch comes out to fix the mess the first patch created!

# 467 Po Pimp @ 11/28/10 12:30 PM

One minor issue

When the patch fixed the Around the League scores...they do tell accurate results and no longer show Jrue Holiday's face, but they don't show the actual scores of the game anymore!

Its the custom music glitch. Try turning off the PA Announcer for 1 minute and see what happens. Sometimes it shuts off the music totally in the whol game, even the menus.

I t use any custom music so it can't be that. I quit and saved the game, and came back to it and it was fine

I'm currently deployed right now and can't get online for my PS3...How can i get the patch? Is there a download link that i could download to usb and install the patch? Please help. This freezing thing and coaches firing is really pissing me off. Thanks in advance.

# 471 Altimus @ 11/28/10 04:15 PM

You cannot pump fake near the paint with D. Rose anymore as he always does his floater. Kind of disappointing but I'll adjust.

# 472 Jasong7777 @ 11/28/10 05:03 PM

After getting the new releases down, I am loving this game post patch. The best got better.

# 473 aerohitman @ 11/28/10 06:19 PM

Why did they change the shoot timing? I mean common i went through 82 games with one shot now im here trying to learn a new one. Annoying as hell. Went from always perfect to this crappy super fast release. ugh.

# 474 tmoney2345 @ 11/28/10 07:17 PM

I don't like how that when you attempt lay-ups you don't get the nice looking lay-up animations they used to have. Now you get that branched shot/adjusted shot crap and thats what I hate. I don't mind them toning down dunks....that I understand but basically its hard to trigger lay-up animations now because if there is anyone near the paint it gets changed to a stupid adjusted shot animation. I loved seeing derrick rose and monta ellis' athletic scoop lay-ups....now all we get is branch shots that look nothing like them. Definitely ruins the experience for me.

The patch was released during a holiday why don't you relax and wait for someone from 2k to speak on the issue, for the most part the patch made the game better, most of the complaints about shooting is silly and only requires that you hit the practice gym for a few minutes to figure it out, the online and myplayer freezes are the only real issues for some not myself but there seems to be a general issue, hopefully most of those that are having freezing issues are a result of corrupt files and only require them to delete their files and restart and not another patch.

so far i have played twice against my friend in a custom game (10 min quarters) the game has been smooth and no errors or disconnects...

as for the jumpers...he adjusted rather quickly since he's able to hit them with ease...i played as the Knicks and i still cant hit squat with Gallinari (pre-patch and post patch)!!!!

# 478 tekkenlaw @ 11/28/10 09:58 PM

I bet they put the new Wolves black alternates in this patch. I hope the code gets discovered soon.

# 479 fcougar @ 11/28/10 11:31 PM

# 480 DarthRambo @ 11/29/10 03:26 AM

FIX THE COMMENTARY STOPPING DUIRING THE GAME! CAUSING IT TO HANG UP AND EVENTUALLY FREEZE! I CAN'T EVEN FINISH A GAME RIGHT NOW!!

When it does this, I have attempted the last 2 games to save and quit, and both time I do that the entire ps3 locks up! It DID NOT DO THIS PRE-PATCH 2K WTH!!!

I love the gameplay and the fixes, but not being able to play cuz of this pisses me off more than anything. It doesn't start happening until the 3rd qtr either so I'm almost finished with the game. That's what really pisses me off, cuz I dont want to start that game over. PLZ FIX THIS BS 2K THAT YOUR PATCH SOMEHOW CREATED!
