NBA 2K9 Patch Released For 360/PS3, Impressions Here

[ryguy227]

sim stats are all funked up right now. at least using nogster's roster. i don't think i've seen a team average over 100ppg when simming a season so far. 2k's roster seems ok i think. but the lack of rebounds for the bigs is still there looks like. hmmff.

well thats easy.... nogs layups close shots and layups are toned down...combined w\ 2k's toned down your not going to see high scores

I know I'll get some criticism here, but I'm going to say these things anyways. First of all I think 2k really delivered with this patch. Anyone who liked this game in the first place I don't see how you cant like this game more now. It's just a more refined game and they corrected a ton of glaring issues out of the box to get this game to work the way it should have on release. The game is that much smoother and more accurate and even the spacing seems better. That said they still hit cutters all day if you don't defend against that.

I think this is an excellent game. I even went out and picked it back up again because i really liked it at first, but im regretting my decision already and realizing why I returned it. after playing live for months I just can't go back to this game... I just don't like it that much anymore. I dont know if its the skating or that the speed is just way overdone in this game, or the fact i cant do a simple crossover while standing still and the control is really not that finite at all. It's still basically run as fast as you can to the basket and throw lightnight passes and spin and hop step and glide, it's just not as fun or realistic. This game is weird because it has so many aspects and features to it that are so sim, there are also a ton of cool animations, but the way the game plays is very arcadelike.... There just are too many problems with the engine itself imo and 2k next year really needs to add a footplanting system and better control ... It's like 2k is caught in between here. This game is next gen in a lot of regards but is also behind the times in others. I traded in NCAA for this game and I'm wishing i hadnt spent more money again...

Thanks a bunch dude. I just fired it up and played a few minutes. 2k camera has 0 lag thus far, free throws are fixed, and the subs are good to go. I just did a quick game against the Celtics while I used the Lakers and I had KG post up Pau and actually do a mid range fadeaway. Instead of backing me down for 10 seconds and doing a jumphook. This game is playing awesome right now through the first few quarters.

Do all cameras (specifically Drive cam) seem smoother offline?

just had a crazy OT game against the rockets - down by 15 at the half because Yao was destroying me with second chance opportunities. The dude had 7 of his 16 rebounds on offense, and Scola had 3 other offensive rebounds. They had 17 second chance points, but even with that the Rockets had 44 points in the paint - 108 overall and shot 47% from the field.

The patch seems to be working wonders with a couple of slider edits from my previous set.

yeah a lot better...there's still some framerate issues when you inbounds the ball, but it's a lot better, especially after half court.

Cool! Thanks for the response.
