A lot of 6th men, a lot "in the rotation guys" but certainly no stars. And as Chris Rock said, "You're in a lotta trouble when Al Harrington is your go to guy." That's exactly how I feel now using the Knicks post-patch, I'm in a lot of trouble.

LOL I watched that as well. I can only imagine how much of a test of patience using the Knicks is.

Van Gundy made a good point. They are trying, but they are just. that. bad.

I`ve just had an extremely tense game between my Lakers and the Cavs. Varejao tied the game on a buzzer beater to take it to overtime, but we managed to score 21 points in the ensuing quarter on 8-10 shooting, thus winning the game. Fisher shot an incredible clutch three, too.

I -love- the atmosphere in this game. The crowd really gets into the game at the appropriate moments, and the player reactions add even more to the overall experience. Each of my players were reacting wildly upon scoring in OT, and it just looked so real.

Playing on Pro made me enjoy Live again. All-Star was frustrating me beyond belief. Now the only truly disheartening moments are when the AI decides to shoot those fadeaways from half-court.

I honestly feel like pre patch play was less nervewrecking than the crap im dealing with right now. The post game seems to be worse than before. The rebounding is ridiculous. Its too dependent on height than skill. And the worse part that tops it all off is that for some reason every dunk or layup seems to bounce out. Same applies to jumpshots. Its like the only person who gets to score is Lebron James.....very disappointed so far with post-patch play...

Again, I don't understand the complaints about the patch, at least offline wise. The game plays better, to me, and is now a real b-ball challenge because now the CPU plays with purpose. I get more steals, now, can back down the CPU when I want, the block button serving as a hands in face and block attempt button, less ridiculous calls in favor of the CPU and is now more balanced (pending your sliders). The goaltend and CPU halfcourt chucks when bodied issues aside, the patch is great but one thing I did notice is that after my buckets, the cutscenes don't work anymore. They appear to start for literally a millisecond, if I'm paying attention to be able to see even that bit of nothing. I miss that especially when hitting 3 bombs and seeing the emotion of the player who shot it. I miss it even more so when playing a home game with the crowd going wild and the announcer and his excitement.

Not I, said the cat. I am a PS3er and have never experienced the freezing issue post patch and I play the game everyday, multiple times a day *knocks on wood*

Wait, actually, in the first few days of release, I DID experience a freezing at the end of a game with a few seconds left and my Nets up by 2. Cleveland called a timeout and when I hit the X button to bypass the cutscreen, the game froze. I was mad because it would have been my first win in a trillion tries on All-Star. Lol. Well, maybe not a trillion but...

I hear yet to hear a PA announcer in this game in any game mode. And i don't know if its just me but jumpshooting is a ***** post-patch. Anyone else having these problems on PS3 or any system for jumpshooting.
