I think I've found the first bug created by the patch. The free throw bar is still there even after I've taken my free throws. I hope this is just a one off thing.

Aww dang.. I got excited for the patch and booted up Live and noticed I did not recieve a prompt to download it. I went back on the forums just to see the statement in parentheses!

Re: Patch 1 Impressions (360 Patch only, PS3 to follow)

Just finished my first game with the patch (12 min. Qs & SupeStar difficulty). I'm really impressed with the patch; not only does it make the game play & look more realistic, it also makes it more challenging. It's like learning the game over again, which passes you're able to get through, which shots will go and won't, etc. Some of my observations.

- If you're in the vicinity of your defender and are going for a lay-up/dunk, it will more than likely be blocked, and without a goaltending call.

- Blocks no longer go in the opposite direction

- When taking control of a big on the break and sprinting with him to throw the lead pass for a lay-up, more often than not a bounce pass will be thrown and intercepted or deflected

- More steals/deflections on passes (both CPU and user)

- More fouls called (both CPU and user)

- CPU is much more aggressive, and also seems to play smarter

- Tougher to hit open shots, even for the CPU

- Post up animations both look and feel more realistic. You're able to feel your defender leaning on you, and when you're backing him down. You won't just slowly back him down anymore, either, he can bump you and there will be some space created

- No stupid turn around hanging jumpshots

- Seems as though you don't have to time your jump for rebounds as much. Now, if you have inside position but click to early/late, you'll probably still end up with it

- Your score will turn out lower than you're used to

Some stats from my game:

Final score: 120 (DEN) - 112 (GSW) (I usually score at the very least 130, and I'd say my average margin of victory is 25 points. Last time I played GSW, I blew them out by 30+ while starting the game on a 21-0 run)

FG %: 46.4% (DEN) - 40% (GSW)

Assists: 23 (DEN) - 19 (GSW)
- Prior to the patch, I'd usually dish out close to 20 assists with Billups alone

Blocks: 8 (DEN) - 17 (GSW)
- You'll definitely have to get used to deciding when it's a good time for a dunk or lay-up

Steals: 4 (DEN) - 5 (GSW)

Turnovers: 27 (DEN) - 17 (GSW)
- I always take care of the ball, but like I said at the beginning, it's like learning a new game. I look for this number to come down a lot by the end of today, as I play more and become more familiar with what I can and cannot do

Fouls: 15 (DEN) - 12 (GSW)

Fast Break Points: 6 (DEN) - 4 (GSW)
- I'd been great with running the break, usually finishing without ~20 FB points, but it's much tougher now with passes being deflected regularly by the CPU.

What are the impressions of the perimeter defense? You can pressure the ballhandler now, sizeup steals aren't canned anymore, there should be less moments where you feel your man just slipped off you and challenging shots has been tightened (press Y to block, tap Y to challenge). Has anyone noticed these?

I put everything back to default on allstar difficulty.

The things i noticed:
Gamespeed seemed faster
More fouls called
CPU not going for the pump fakes like before
Big men being able to dribble longer without steals
The assist button can be used closer to ball handler now

The things i appreciated!
Manual post up
Subs working while at the free throw line
Manual subs staying manual

The CPU still beat me when i played them but i actually felt like i had a chance to win. I will try some more games later.

cpu pick and roll defense is much improved as far as cpu defender getting below or around the screen quickly
