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.).

Can someone please help me solve this issue?


Since the patch, I'm unable to wear different shoes in My Career mode and Blacktop Online. I'm stuck with 1 pair of shoes, I had prior to the patch... I created shoes and can't wear them in games. Please help.

Way too many reach in calls now. It's pretty ridiculous.

I pick up a lot of 'blocking fouls' since the patch by just stayin in front of my man. I know it was in the patch that you could possibly draw charges by just standing still, but I'm not appreciating this at all. Especially because I'm trying to keep backing away and contest the shot.


And, they still haven't fixed when the man who grabs the offensive rebound gets called for 'over the back' foul on his way down with the ball smh. Idk how this is possible. It just cost me the game, and there I was thinking I grabbed a big offensive rebound.

Personally I think the patch sucks balls in terms of gameplay. The rebounding, 3pt% & playcalling in MC are improvements but everything else has taken a step backwards. The steal/reach ratio was slightly too low before, but now it's ridiculously high. When a centre is trying to cross up my point guard I'm going to go for the steal, yet I get called for a reach EVERY time! The passing system now feels like 2K12 again, with defenders jumping in to the passing lanes and attempting a steal almost every time.

Also, a little pet peeve, I'm a 6'4 athletic guard, 99 dunk, 99 vertical, 99 shoot in traffic with Posterizer and Finisher level 3 in MC, yet ever since I've upgraded to level 3, I'm missing like 1/4 of my dunks and layups... Wtf? It was fine on level 2.

All that being said, It is the best basketball game around. Just still not quite perfect.

PS, looking forward to NFL2K14 next year, just don't let the NBA franchise suffer!

Post patch, the top message in 'Social media' is invisible, and my 'Custom Arena Music' off my PS3 doesn't play.

I didn't want to make a thread on this, and I didn't know where else to post it, but for some reason, commentary doesn't work on my game anymore as of this week. The game also freezes 40% of the time I quit a quick match/My Player game for some reason.

The commentary will be there right before tip off, then totally disappear
 
# 716 boyd @ 12/08/12 08:05 AM
where I can find the offline file??
 
# 717 JoeySams9 @ 12/09/12 01:47 PM
Everytime i go to my GM to discuss a contract extension (end of my contract right now) it just freezes. I havent played NBA2k13 since 10-17-12 because of this...and the patch did nothing for it. Maybe ill try to play in a few months or so
 
# 718 2k10Fonzarelli @ 12/09/12 07:16 PM
Anyone having issues with Spit stats and Recent Game stats not showing in Assoc. after playing different 360/ps3/pc games?

This was a problem when they introduced it last year and it appears it is still an issue this year

having the same issue also!!!!
Ive narrowed it down a bit, Ive noticed that it happens after the substitute horn rings.
and I notice that it happens only during my fantasy draft association? does this happen to you every game?
 
# 720 blues rocker @ 12/09/12 10:26 PM
I've noticed the last few days that the CPU offensive rebounding cheese is happening again...anyone else seeing this? it was better right after the patch, but the last few days i'm seeing the same crazy CPU offensive rebounding with the CPU beating me like 14-2 on the offensive glass. same as before the patch - the CPU player just runs up behind my whole team and grabs the rebound while my teammates just stand there and let him get it.
