NBA Live 10 Patch Impressions (360, PS3)

[Dino]

Ps3 usually gets patches first because they don't have to go through all the xbl tests since online is free.

My impression of the patch process with MS and Sony is that the developer submits the patch to both companies who then put them through their QA process at which time if it passes, gets released.

That said, both Microsoft and Sony would be working off the same patch submitted to them by the Live team but for some internal reason did not release them on the same day - either because of timing or because Sony's QA has not passed it.

In any case, my best guess is that it's the same patch as the Live team would have submitted it to both companies at the same time. If Live were to pull the patch from Sony before it got released and provide it with another patch that addressed the issues found in the XBox patch, it would in all likelihood count as their 2nd patch which would bump up against their 2 free patch limit.

Just a hunch.

Like others have said, I feel like the control I used to have has been taken away. The game feels more sluggish, the passing is worse, and I'm seeing bricked dunks all over the place. I'm definitely a little disappointed right now. Getting sucked into a post up animation at random is getting very annoying. The way it worked before the patch was much better. If you're gonna include a button for us to do it manually, why even have any automatic post up at all? They need to take it out and just make us click in the stick when we want to do it or something.

100% agreed. I hope the developers are paying attention to this, and in the process of fixing these issues. JWill created a thread addressing the 3 point exploit, which "iminurbase" replied that this problem would be addressed in the "next title update". I'm hopeful that means there is another patch to come. Who even knows if that will really be addressed. Fatigue, Subs and a few other things were said to be getting fixed via this last patch, and obviously that was not the case.

I'm honestly at the point where I would happily deal with playing the game the way it was pre patch, over how the game plays post patch. And again, I'm speaking in terms of online play. Still haven't tried dynasty mode.

I think there will be. I also think they were smart in their patching approach. They didn't release a Day-One patch (see FIFA 10) but instead took their time and listened to community feedback for what issues needed to be addressed.

Unfortunately, the finished product is leaving many players wanting (as evidenced by this very thread) but fortunately, they still have one free patch to go. And mind you, they may not stop at two (see NCAA 10) but if they did it wouldn't surprise me as two is the usual number of title patches you'll see (due to the significant costs associated with patches 3 and up). Here's to hoping! (Not that it matters to me. I traded mine in, on impulse, after patch 1. )

Can someone from EA let us know if the PS3 Patch has been canceled? Can EA stop Sony from releasing it if they react quickly since the patch form what Ive been reading broke the game for 360 users.

The only thing I want is the post up button.

I'm on PS3 and I can't believe, if what many of you say is true, that EA made the game worse and less sim with the patch. I'm appalled.

I havent downloaded the patch yet. I was wondering based on the patch impression thread whether the improvements that were made could simply be reached w/slider qnd global player edit changes. For example, supposedly the patch has helped to stop some of the herky jerky animations. I lowered the agility slider and have reduced the herky jerkyness of players. I also lowered the vertical attribute so that the dunks look realistic. I lowered 3p shooting tendency to cut down on the 3's so that temas average about 18 per game. I also lowered game spd to make the pace a bit more realistic. I tinkered with fouls to get realistic results as well as alter hands in post and perimeter. Note that I predominately watch CPU games. At this point is there anything that th patch can offer me to make it worth downloading?
