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

[Nodima]

Yea, I jsut saw Kobe Bryant PUSH SHEED BACK 2 steps before I gave up on posting him up. WOW.


A lot of other things seem almost perfect now, and I switched back to default sliders and official Insider rosters (J-Rich is down to a 85 on 3s I noticed ) with 11min Qs on All-Star so far from BLSim2 and Nogster's. But that's a pretty big new flaw.

Because new animations were added via the patch. Simple.

So far so good for me. A tweak here ad there and the game seems like new in many areas. All I need is a new release from nogster and I am all set. I played a handful of games with different teams and the game just feels more fluid. I do still still see a few things, but I know with this community here @ OS, someone will figure it out and we will have the best bball game to date.

Can someone sim a season to see how much the stats have been improved?

I simmed a season, and I don't have the specific stats, but a few things did stand out that I definitely remember:

There were only 2 teams that averaged over 100 points per game (Phoenix and Golden State). No team averaged 50% FG percentage either, where pre-patch, there were multiple teams that did.

Dwyane Wade led the league in scoring with 26+ (season high 43)
Howard was the rebound leader with 11+ (season high 19 boards)
Paul was the assist leader averaging 9+
LeBron's season high was only 36

Kobe was nowhere amongst the top scorers (20 point scorers), so I checked the injured list...he wasn't there either. Finally I go to the Laker team stats. Kobe was averaging better than 18ppg! The Lakers as a team averaged like 96 ppg (they did have like 5 double digit scorers though).

OJ Mayo won ROY averaging 16+ (in real life, he's at like 22 ppg)
Rose averaged 14 ppg and 7 assists (in real life, hes putting up 19 and 6)
Beasley averaged 15 and 7 boards (in real like, he's averaging 14 and 6)
Oden averaged like 8 and 6 (in real like, he's averaging more boards than that)

I think Coaching Profiles would fix most of these stats in regards to tempo and fast breaks. Lakers are the highest scoring team, but their tempo and fast break tendencies are too low. No reason for Kobe to average 18 when his shot tendency is 95-99 or whatever it is.

Same with Rebounds and assists...less shots mean less rebounds and assists. No reason for Howard to only average 11 rebounds. More than likely, its due to teams playing slower than they should.

PPG - 25 for Team Tempo causes the SImmed Stats to produce some nice Team PPG numbers

I have Dwight averaging 13 board

I wish I had the hardware to share the CPUs shot chart with all of you. It was disgusting. Youve all had the game long enough to guess what it was like though. Ive had the game going on 3 weeks now, and I have given it more then a fair shot. I just do not like it, and am now at a point where I cant even look at the box without feelings of disgust and rage. To hell with that. It's not staying on my shelf one more day.

Wow. This is a video game...i think....last time I checked. If you get feelings of disgust and rage over a Video game...there might be some underlying issues that you might need help with. sorry bro.
