NBA 2K10 Patch: Hits and Misses

[Pared]

The author borrows a 360 to play the game, that's how he is aware of patch. He owns the PS3 version but has borrowed his friends 360.

Do u guys really get over the back calls? I see more fouls in a hole, and its clearly better than pre-patch, but I have yet to see an over the back. Playing normal season mode by the way.

I got three in one game once since the patch dropped.

This article was way to short. Seems like they shoudl have taken the patch notes directly from 2k, and expounded upon each note.

Then how could you even write this if you really haven't played the patch yet?

"The pick and roll – As I touched on earlier, the pick and roll has been unbalanced for quite a while. The addition of more deflected passes in the paint may tone down its effectiveness somewhat, but I would have to play the game at length before saying its toned down overall."

Yet, it's a miss?

After only a couple of games, you can see that not only deflect more passes, but a defender will sometimes rotate to help on the cutter, and the switch will happen quicker (not have 2 players on the ball). This has helped defending PnR immensely. The only thing they need to do now is to not make the pass so perfect even if the onball defender is right in the passing lane. It's still a video game in that respect.

Same. I've seen it enough to even catch a bug.

It's like seeing a bug on the wall. You know it's not relevant but it gets on your nerves. Shoes and socks and all that don't bother me but it's the headbands that does cuz it's apart of the uniform that is SUPPOSE to match the jerseys.

The maturity argument is that even though it bugs you, it shouldn't make you so irate, that you call for people's job and that is what some people here on the forums have been doing. It's one thing to point out those things, but to be belligerent about is absolutely a maturity thing.

Seems too early for this type of article - think it came out a day after the patch. In reading it seems like some of the comments come off as an overview of the patch release notes, then there are definitive "this doesn't work the way it should" statements. Don't see the need for such scrutiny when the patch had been barely given time to breath and issues ferreted out
