Well, I played a second game and it was more of the same. My FG% is high 50's low 60's for both teams. I'm not seeing the same paint contact animations that I was and it's easier to score (this could all be in my head though). I find it easy to get to the rim like I did before restarting only instead of the new contact making my shots difficult, I'm making most of my shots in the paint.

Before I liked it because I knew that once I got past my defender, there was a good chance I was missing the shot. This caused me to rely on my midrange game.

The thing is, I'm having GREAT games. I beat Portland 112-109 and lost a heartbreaker to Golden State 100-99. The thing that bugs me is I was getting better stats before... still the games are close and it's fun, so it's not too bad. I just liked winning while shooting 45% before.

So I assume it's still on my hard drive even though I cleared it of all things 2K10? I re-downloaded the latest roster update though and played my 15th 1st association game against the Blazers. I don't know why, but it felt different (i.e. easier... like pre-patch). I had a great game winning 112-109, but scoring in the paint was easy (Yao was 14-16) and their wasn't a lot of contact making shots difficult like I've seen in the past post patch. I also shot 8-14 from three. The referee did bounce pass the ball on free throws' I also did some developmental drills with Budinger (Dribble Course) and Brooks (Shooting) and their overall ratings stayed the same (they didn't plummet). So should I assume I still have all patches? Is there a way to check?

ok, after really diggin into this game, uninstalling and clearing cache, then reinstalling patch, i gotta say...wow! here are my stats:

Mavs 103 vs Laker(me)90, 10min superstar
fg% 51 47
fts 13/17 15/28!!!!(i suck at freethrows right now, but 28 atts!)
3pt 37% 35%
asst 30 17
to 3 8
fbreak 14 10

i was insulted when they put terry and barea on me in the 2nd qrt and went off! i mean abused them for 51! cool thing is Kidd had 9 ***, not 25. and Dirk had a quiet 21 after torching me for 19 in the first half.
the most satisfying lost i've had yet. nothing cheap they just out played me. i've figured out why i was having so much trouble. 1. i did turn the def asst down to 0 (THANKS STREETS!!!). 2.turned the alley opp to 0 (big difference), flashy pass...25(both/ helps with alley oops), turned off clutch(left clutch slider alone). and the big one, i stop playing this game like LIVE10! it's amazing, both games (Live & 2k) play completely different but once you learn to play them, you'll get simular results...

to be safe and to get a fresh start, i would delete your profile, settings, sliders, association, and clear the cache. i did all of these things minus clearing the cache, and everything is working out great.

i had the same experience as you actually...PIP and getting to the rim was easy but then i did the above and also lowered the defensive pressure slider to 50 for all coach profiles and it drastically changed the game...a lot more midrange. try it out. i did after people were saying to do this, and it's great.

but if you're enjoying the game as it is now i would keep it the way it is.

Why didn't I buy this for 360? It's a sad joke that the ps3 patch isn't out yet. Did psn already update? That means it's not going to be out for at least another week?

PSN updates have nothing to do with patches.

Well either way, the patch isn't out yet and the 360 patch has been out for over a week.

[Pared]

Yup. Sadly, Sony is to blame.

The strange thing is, you'll buy that one game on the 360 that is multi-platform and then Sony will clear the patch first. It's happened before, too. Madden is one example.

Yea true, I'm sure the patch will come out soon enough, and I will be glad that I bought it on ps3 since my 360 is starting to crap out on me.
