NBA 2K13 News Post


The NBA 2K13 patch has arrived for PS3 and 360. The details on the patch haven't been released yet, but we'll update this post as soon as they are available.

UPDATE: NBA 2K13 Patch Details

GAMEPLAY
  • Improved AI rebounding logic to balance out offensive rebound frequency.
  • Tuned AI transition defense; users will now have more fast break opportunities against the CPU. Additionally, CPU teammates are now more able to guard their opponents on the break.
  • Long range passes are now less accurate and will result in more fumbled and missed catches.
  • Passing successfully out of a double team has been tuned to be slightly more difficult.
  • Tuned the logic behind Charging calls so that they are properly called. Charges will now sometimes be called when the defender is in position and stationary, even if he is not in the “Take Charge” animation.
  • Tuned timing on block animations, and made the AI more vigilant about blocking layups and dunks.
  • Improved reach-in foul detection when defender continually swipes at the ball, results in more called fouls where appropriate.
  • AI now only calls for a full court press in appropriate situations (i.e. late in the game).
  • Addressed two dunk animations that were not counting for a score when they were converted.
  • Fixed an issue where Replay would show the incorrect play, rather than what actually happened on the court.
  • AI positioning when running plays has been tuned so that big men with limited shooting range will not move further away from the basket than what their range allows.
  • AI teammates will now remain in the Post Up position longer when a Quick Post play is called for them.
  • Tuned alley-oop and putback dunks such that only players who have a high tendency to perform either move are able to finish with one.
  • Removed the restrictions for the ‘Microwave’ Signature Skill such that it now works regardless of whether you are already on a hot or cold streak.
  • When a block is recorded for a player with the ‘Eraser’ Signature Skill, only the shooting attributes of the blocked player are lowered.
  • Fixed a rare issue where a traveling violation would be called on a pass fake.
  • Referee Review on last shot will no longer play if the shot has no effect on the outcome of the game.
  • A number of other smaller changes have been made to address issues and enhance the user experience.
  • Tuned three-point percentage.
GENERAL
  • NIKEiD shoes will now appear properly in-game after being equipped to a player.
  • Addressed an issue where the game score would disappear in Blacktop games when Signature Highlights were viewed in the pause menu.
  • Fixed an issue where Free Throw Feedback would no longer appear in games after playing an Online MyTEAM game.
  • Addressed an issue in Online MyTEAM games where the away team player would have the Signature Skills of the home team player if identical players were used in the game by both players.
  • Music will no longer be disabled and Game Settings will no longer revert back to Default when completing an online game in MyTEAM.
  • Changed the difficulty settings for all of the seeds in MyTEAM.
  • (360) Addressed a Kinect issue where a misleading overlay would appear when a timeout was called through a voice command when no timeouts were remaining.
MyCAREER
  • Added additional warning re: conversion of an online MyCAREER (one that earns VC) to an offline MyCAREER (one that earns Skill Points).
  • Fixed an issue where the remainder of the user’s schedule would appear empty after participating in the various All-Star Weekend events. This change also carries over to Association/Season modes.
  • ‘Run Plays’ and ‘PlayVision’ should now function properly (when activated), regardless of your MyPLAYER’s position.
  • Fixed an issue where all games in October would be simulated when ‘Play Next Game’ is selected after the start of a new season.
  • Users playing MyCAREERs that accrue Skill Points will no longer find themselves with negative skill points after played games (where a number of unlikely conditions were all met).
  • Addressed a rare hang that would occur if the “Defend Your Home Court” billboard commercial would play between quarters of the Rising Stars Challenge or All-Star game.
  • Addressed a number of issues with the Social Media feature, including one where the news feed would stop updating completely.
  • When changing teams via free agency in the offseason, your MyPLAYER will now receive the proper role (starter, sixth man, etc.) that was promised during the contract negotiation.
  • You will no longer fail the Dynamic Goal “Give your team the lead before the game ends” when subbed out before the end of the game.
  • The Teammate Chemistry rating on the “Play Next Game” loading screen should now display the correct value (as seen in the Social Media menu).
  • The volume of the menu music and sound effects will no longer become extremely quiet after playing consecutive games in MyCAREER.
ASSOCIATION
  • 3PT Tendency progression logic has been rewritten to correctly model the growth variances within each player type in the game. This change also carries over to MyCAREER mode.
  • Users will no longer lose their Scouting Reports after viewing the Recent Games tab of a player card.
  • Birth years can now be set to later than 1993 when editing Draft Classes after the first season of Association.
  • Addressed a rare hang that would occur when attempting to participate in the Dunk Contest with a created player assigned to a created team.
  • (Association: Online) Offense and Defense options should now save properly when using the Total Sim Control feature.
  • (Association: Online) Admins will now have access to appropriate Commissioner Tools during the offseason.
NOTE: All patch fixes will work in your existing game mode saves (MyCAREER, Association, etc.).

I and I am sure others haven't heard of this until today when it was mentioned here. So for some they don't care cause they didn't know and for others that don't play online quick matches it doesn't matter to them.

Now as far as some guys being pissed about 2K not fixing this thing you have to take a step back and be realistic here. I don't know when it was mentioned here but I did see a couple of guys say it wasn't mentioned until very recently. Again I knew nothing about it and I am on this forum almost daily. The new was given to us a week ago that the patch was submitted. That means the patch was completed from 2K's standpoint at least over a week ago. Once it is submitted they can't go back and change anything new that was discovered. They would have to do that in a future patch if they can get it to work. So unless this was something major being brought to 2K's attention at least two weeks ago there was no chance of it being added into the patch.

I did not know about this issue, so if I see the option to sign an extension in my GM meetings I should never accept it?

and will I get the option in the offseason, or do I have to wait until I am a free agent to resign? and is the team you are currently on always available to sign with in free agency? I just want to stay on my team and not be traded, or my mycareer frozen...

I played a game against the 76ers and I am still seeing the same issues that irked be before. Evan Turner had 8 shot attempts in 1-1/2 quarters, Nick Young had 9 shot attempts in 1-1/2 quarters, Jrue Holiday had 8 shot attempts in 1-1/2 quarters and Andrew Bynum had 1 shot attempt in 1-1/2 quarters. I was quickly missing shots on purpose just to see what the CPU would do, and they pushed the ball and quick-shotted me like crazy, even when they didn't have numbers. Jrue Holiday would try to spam his way to the hole, and when I shut that down, he would pass the ball off for a quick jumpshot to Evan Turner or Nick Young. The CPU never tried to establish Bynum at all and never tried to run any kind of offense unless I made a shot.

At first I thought it could possibly be a roster thing, but I have played with pretty much every roster set out there, and none have made a bit of difference..for me at least.

I saw it some pre patch but I could combat that by getting my men back on defense. Post patch, I'm not seeing it. I'm at halftime in a game with 11 minute quarters. I'm using mkarsh's sliders and made thelorn's team tendency changes. Here are the shot totals for the CPU's Suns team:

Brown- 8
Scola- 7
Dragic -5
Gortat-3
Dudley -4

Not unrealistic for me and they arent quickshotting. If I miss, they push the ball but if they dont have numbers they are resetting.

Nevermind.
 
# 185 aholbert32 @ 11/27/12 01:34 PM
On a bad note, seems like 2k did not fix the replay glitch. Just dunked with Waiters and the replay didnt show it.

I will try your slider/team tendency combo and see how it plays for me. Hopefully this does mitigate the issue enough for me to enjoy games against the CPU, because online randoms ain't gonna cut it for me...I enjoy my sanity.

I will post me results ASAP.

Anyone not seeing this, is a) not willing to see this & turning a blind eye or b) has the holy grail copy.
 
# 188 NBA Bound25 @ 11/27/12 01:36 PM
They toned down the shooting. I played someone who shot a lot of 3s and he only made 1/29. I was in his space almost every time he shot it so I'm glad they fixed that
 
# 189 Deck @ 11/27/12 01:37 PM
is 3/3 finisher fixed ?

Replay glitch huh? How about we discuss how dunks in certain dunk packages STILL aren't counting as baskets... or how the Euro Three glitch is STILL in the game yet it was acknowledged weeks ago by a certain someone with 2k connections on these forums... you know the gamebreaking stuff... actual glitches that can allow an opponent to beat you at will and there's nothing you can do about it?
 
# 191 Fakename22 @ 11/27/12 01:39 PM
Im not about to play random games to try and figure out what got fixed. Give us the notes or wait to release the patch until the release notes are ready. This is crazy.

Nike ID glitch is fixed. These are the Kobe 7s I made.

Uh, that's not a web address. That's a directory on your home computer.

1) Calm down. I'm just reporting what I'm seeing.
2) I dont play online so the Euro 3 glitch doesnt effect me.

I'll wait for details from the 2k guys, but I'm excited to hear about rebounding and the scores being lowered to begin with. Looking forward to it. I always enjoy the game and don't let things ruin it for me. I haven't run into any of this euro 3 stuff yet.
