I wouldn't be concerned. It's still a great game, and is by no means broken. (apart from a couple of slip ups)

I feel the new patch has a lot of new things and just needs a bit more tweaking to restore it to it's former glory.

Wolfpack thinks it's a great improvement and much smoother.

Although they differ, I think both opinions have a point. Who knows, I may even come to agree with wolfpack as I get used to the new patch.

Negatives tend to get more of a voice than the positive stuff.

The only opinion that should matter is your own.

And my opinion is Live is still my game of choice this year, patch or no patch.

I'm confused with the right click post up thing. what exactly is it suppose to do? trigger an auto backdown?

I was comfy with the post game before, but now I find myself being sucked in a post animation when I get sweaty fingers on the sticks.

This is what happens when you rush and half asz things which EA does. All I wanted was a post up button and now I cant have that since this patch breaks the game.

It still works automatically as it did before.

I suppose you just gotta try to not click the stick.

I feel like they turned the defense up to much, especially in the paint and on driving to the hoop. Fouls are increased, when drawing contact in the paint, but aren't increased when driving past your defender and getting sucked into a collision animation. Those are my primary gripes. In terms of 3 point shooting issues with guys like Jameer Nelson, this is the response I got from one of the producers when I wrote him about how unstoppable some of these guys are from 3, this is his reply:

"In terms of 3s, its really all based on Nelson's 3pt% (right now 48%). He is a high volume guy, so his shot success isn't decreased like it is for a small-time player."

This reply still doesn't make sense to me, at least not to the point where I can understand how anyone thinks it makes sense that a player like Nelson can routinely drop in 50% of contested three's he takes, when used and abused in an online ranked game. I've also heard of guys like Mo Williams and Jason Kapono being used to drop in 20 threes a game. Don't tell me "they are good 3 point shooters"...That may be true, but that doesn't mean they should have the ability to routinely shoot like this. I guess one could argue this could be fixed by adding fatigue. Then one couldn't use these players as regularly. That's my take.

It seems like after the patch, the game tries even harder to enforce realistic shooting percentages.

I played an online game against a guy that had no clue how to play defense. About 80% of my shots were lay-ups, most uncontested, and I still shot 46% on the game. It's sooo frustrating to consistently miss lay-ups and easy close-ups.
