I don't know what you're talking about, TMagic


Get it together 2k! You're killing me with the no lobbies thing! :

NBA Courtside did it that way. There was a fatigue meter under the player, and you could only hold down the adrenaline button until it was empty. It then took time to refill. It was usually enough to go about 3/4 the length of the floor.

Just using the analogue stick would be far too hard, though. You'd keep going at undesired speeds all the time.

I did not know that...

That's my point about the analog. Couple that with Isomotion being on the left thumbstick as well... it's a recipe for disaster.

LOL

My game froze about three times trying to get a game started with you man. I would have let you know that I wasn't getting back online, but I was frustrated with the damn freezing, so I didn't feel like turning the xbox back on.... SMH

No worries. I bounced after that, too. 2k made me an unhappy gamer.

Do I need to restart my association? Because I played a game on default sliders on Superstar and it seemed like the CPU was in 'I cannot lose mode'. I was up by 10, but it got to the point where I tried to turn the corner but the CPU made EVERY SINGLE SHOT. I mean, there was pretty much NOTHING I could do about it. Regardless of how many shots I made, I couldn't cause the CPU to miss unless I completely swatted the ball. They ended up shooting 65% and I shot 63%. They were the Oklahoma City Thunder.


Kinda bothers me. Not even sure if this what the patch addressed, come to think about it.


P.S. 48 pages is a lil much for me to read, lol

well you don't need to restart your association as the patch updates will apply to your current one, but you may have to tweak your shooting and defense sliders / tendencies based on personal preference for those other things.

Quick question guys. Do you need a gold membership (I have the 360 version) to download the patch? My game never was prompted to download the patch. Thanks for the response.
