NHL 2K10 Patch List

[Scottdau]

The problem is they did not sell to many games for the PS3 or the 360. But Sony charges. So if you didn't make a lot of money on a game it is tough to get a patch, the only reason the 360 is getting one is the support M.S. gives them. It totally sucks for you PS3 only. And if I had only PS3 I would be upset, but I also understand this move from a business stance. It sucks plain and simple.

I understand this thinking, but this is one of the reason way they can't afford patches. You might support it, but a lot of people don't. But in the end it is all about marketing and for once I agree with the people that said they need to market it better.

Sounds like 2k is on it's last legs. No money for marketing, demo, and only scarce support for the game.

What a shame..

When I first heard news about the patch, I was definitely considering purchasing 2k10. I just haven't been very satisfied with the offline product from NHL 10. But if there's not going to be a patch for the PS3 version then I won't be buying the game. And when I think about it.. why would I buy any future NHL titles that 2k has to offer for the PS3? I certainly don't want to purchase a video game that doesn't have much of a chance to be patched.

Nope, this all 2K. I don't understand what could be so hard about porting a patch from 360 to ps3. It's all the same code right? But what do I know I'm not a developer.

Here's what everyone is missing: On PS3 every developer gets 2 free patches to release through the PSN (Playstation Network). So being a "money issue" is completely wrong.

This is extremely upsetting (if true) and completely unheard of (but apparently not for 2k sports).

I call BS. Besides this game and and NHL 2K8, I can't think of a single game I've owned that was patched on 360 but not on PS3. I only play sports games so I can't speak for other genres but just for the heck of it here's the list of games I have owned that were patched on both systems in the last 3 years (and I can assure you these were patched on PS3 since that's the system I was playing them on until June of thus year):

-NBA 2K8
-College Hoops 2K8
-Madden 08
-NCAA Football 08
-NHL 08
-FIFA 08
-NBA 2K9
-NASCAR 09
-Madden 09
-NCAA Football 09
-NHL 09
-FIFA 09
-PES 2009
-NBA Live 09
-NCAA Football 10
-Madden 10
-NBA Live 10
-FIFA 10
-NHL 10
-PES 2010

The only thing I can possibly see is that maybe Sony charges a fee for a patch if you want to patch a game that has sold less than X units (whatever X may be) and 2K may not be willing/not have the resources to pay that fee. But if that's the problem, isn't it 2K's fault that they haven't reached that sales number given their very weak marketing for this game?

Well I copied superjew's post over to the 2KHockey board and got moderated.
