NBA 2K10 Patch Details Announced PS3/360 (Updated 10/22)

[Goffs]

the problem is that those kick out passes are so damn accurate for the CPU...whenever i do the same thing it ends up in the stands >:O

Wow, just saw they added lead passing in the paint, selectable quarter length in My Player, and auto double team & help D tweaks.

Awesome. I'm starting my Association as soon as this drops, and will likely play for a long, long time. Thanks SimBaller and other 2K devs.

I'll see what I can find out. *grumble*

SERIOUSLY!

this is biggest patch i have ever seen for a sports game and now u got people complaining and saying "what about this?" lol

Look at it this way...you are basically being afforded the opportunity to highlight what aspects of the game you want fixed and have them fixed in the process. With games on other consoles, there was no option for an update once the game released. I remember a ton of games along the way that have been "broken" out of the box, but we couldn't do anything about that. Now, with the developers posting regularly on these boards, we are able to directly interact with them and let them know what needs to be fixed and what is working perfectly. You should be honored that 2K and EA have representatives that scour these boards looking for any inkling of information that will improve their product. It never used to be like this, and hey, they could be looking through IGN's boards, which is littered with posts regarding correct wristband colors and accessory issues. At the risk of being flamed, I think we should all just take a breath and look how far video games have come just since PS2 and XBox. We can now fix things that are wrong in the game the SAME YEAR that the game was released. I know that we constantly harp on aspects of the games that we feel developers need to address the following year, and they can never seem to get it right. Just remember, these guys are employees of 2k and EA. Not only are they limited by the resources being afforded to them, I'm sure that they really don't make a ton of money when all is said and done. This is a passion of theirs, and they would probably do it for free. But, they have worked hard and been able to progress in life to the point where they are able to do this for a living. So, I congratulate them because their hard work paid off. But don't be naive to the idea that these guys are basically getting paid sh*t, and they continue to get paid sh*t no matter how many times their product is bashed on these boards. If they could do something about it, I'm sure they would, but they don't make the business decisions for these companies, so their hands are tied...to a point. Also, please remember that these guys have families and friends that they want to spend time with as well. I would get pretty damn upset if someone flamed me to no end after I just worked a 10-hour shift because they perceived my output as crap. Hey, they need to spend time with their wife and kids, too. I'm pretty sure the last worry that they have when they go to bed at night is "I hope I got Hakeem Olajuwon's right wristband color correct for the '90's All-Star Team." And, it shouldn't be a concern at all for them. I can appreciate that people who post here are very passionate about their sports games, but please try to remember that we don't have robots producing these games. I consider it a privilege that I don't have to wait until October of next year to buy the next version of this game only to see that some of my biggest complaints were addressed. It seems like the video game community, myself included, has developed an entitlement complex that is really beginning to affect the way that we see these products that we are buying. "We need perfection for $60" - NO, you shouldn't expect and you do not deserve perfection for $60. Remember, you are only paying $10-$20 more for next gen games than you were for previous gen games. You are getting little to no loading times, a chance to play other people from around the world online, much larger saving space for individual games (so that we can play as all 30 NBA teams), a chance at patch updates, and better graphical representations of the sports we have grown to love. I know this is a long rant, but I had to vent, and I thought that if I reached at least one person with my thoughts, then hopefully somebody smells the roses like I have in the past couple of weeks. We are in a technological time period where we should consider ourselves very fortunate to be able to enjoy games that are updated throughout the course of the year. This wasn't possible on previous systems, and to me, the opportunity to voice my opinion on a game and have problems that I find fixed once that game is already on the shelves is well worth the $60. This is the way I, personally, look at the situation.... I would much rather pay $60 for a game that is fairly complete out of the box and be able to play endless amounts of games on it, report problems that I see, and have those problems fixed in a timely manner....than to pay $50 for a game that developers "feel" is complete, I think it is a piece of garbage, and nothing can be done about because we don't have the ability to release update patches. To me, I would rather know that there are opportunities on the horizon for the game to get better rather than playing the game for 1 hour, realizing it's broken, and then take it back to GS for half of what I paid (if you're lucky to even get that). There's much more value in a $60 "beta" copy for me than there is in a $50 "retail" copy that does not afford the opportunity to be made any better until the next version hits retail shelves the following year. I look forward to reading other's opinions on my musings, as I feel like constructive criticism makes us all smarter, more intelligent human beings. Take care!!!!

Good read. I agree with you 100%. Its a breath of fresh air when a positive + well thought out post makes its way onto these boards. Its good to be gamer these days. strat -o-matic was the king of sports games when I was a kid, that was with cards,dice and my imagination. we have come a long way baby!!

[Jesus]

looking forward to the patch, but there is no way it was started post-release. Too many fixes addressed in roughly a week.

[stoncold32]

still no freakin custom soundtracks on PS3 = two thumbs down.

This was on the initial list.

Well, 360 dunks should be fixed, that's for sure. Also, it's annoying in My Player that two players wear #21 concurrently and I cannot change either... players change their numbers all the time in that mode. Al Harrington #44? Joe Alexander #45?

We just like to complain... but still, there are important things being skipped.

I am pleased to hear a lot of the fixes, though, and I can hardly wait for the weeks to go by and we can download these.

They need to create a program that will read this for me. LOL, jk!

I read the whole thing and I agree with you. But remember, most of these people are kids and well, kids do what kids do. That's the nature of the videogame industry albeit the consumer demographics have widened a lot since back in the day.
