NBA 2K10 Patch #2 Details

[Streets]

The patch looks decent enough, but for me (Association guy) there is nothing ground-breaking like the first patch. The only two things I wanted to see addressed were the ability to have real injuries turned on to start my Association (i.e. Yao out for the first year), and gameplay-wise, I feel as if a player's ratings should weigh heavier when determining whether or not a human controlled player makes a shot.

Still, I appreciate 2K STILL making improvements to an already great game.

Yes now I can start a association with the latest 2K rosters and not worry about injuries. Im glad 2K fix this issue.

I hate that everytime I download living rosters I have to do this myself for star players. Its a night and day difference how realistic and great the players play after these adjustements.

You just contradicted Ray, as apparently you can't get players to play like themselves with the current tendencies. Perhaps you can help him out.

It shouldn't be this difficult to begin with.

you can and you can't. first of all, the official roster update's tendencies aren't really accurate or updated regularly or with a lot of scrutiny. thankfully, we have roster people on here that are well known for doing this sort of thing. but yeah, you can get players to play the way you want to some degree like shooting, driving to the basket and so forth, but at the same time, some things don't work as well or were hard coded into the game or glitches like players constantly passing out of the lane when driving even though you have their tendency set so they never should do this. looks like this is addressed though. it's just unfortunate that the official roster isn't as accurate and realistic as it was claimed to be. it takes a lot of time and effort to edit a roster without a global editor of some sort.

I don't think Ray is too far off here... some of those player tendencies just flat out don't work (leaners, fadeaways, etc.), and it's not outside the realm of possibility that a patch could have fixed that.

With that said, I'm not too torn up about it and this game will still be a blast to play, especially after this final patch.

"Shooting and driving" is the most basic level of offense there is in basketball. Once you get deeper than that, 2K becomes a laughable representation of NBA basketball as far as I can tell.

What you said and how you put it is completely different from what he posted. You can try and find similarities but ultimate the difference is so stark that had it been explained initially in that same way, I'm sure someone would say there is some merit there.

Instead, "these guys are just liars!"

As if I really need to provide examples. Fell off the cliff a long time ago.
