Dude thats why you should stay off this site..........I'm not a stats guru but what I can tell you is the patch has addressed what it said it would.......

Good defense better passing and good gameplay tweak to your liking........

I really dont listen to the rest of the complaining because I think it's just silly...

Game on playa.....

Someone figured the key to stopping the 3 point big man issue so that is a dead issue, the Patch made the game complete, offensive and defense is balanced now.

This. Come on people. Where's the real impressions?

I've played four exhibition games post patch (Mavs @ Bulls, Bulls @ Nets, Bulls @ 76ers, Grizzlies @ Bulls). I've ran the gamut of results, beat the Mavs by 3, beat the 76ers by 5, got blown out by the Nets by 19 (yikes... Nocioni was on fire, burning up his old team) and beat down the Grizz by 13. I'll just pull the items that involve more than a simple "yes, this works now" straight from the patch list and comment on them:

Quote:

Further tuned the assist logic such that the CPU should be more diligent in handing out assists to players.

Being the stat freak that I am, this was one of the fixes that I was looking forward to most, and it definitely delivered. Before this patch I would give up close to 30 assists each game against the computer—the CPU would only end up with a handful of unassisted buckets per game.

I think they may have tightened up the window of when an assist will be credited, but I've also noticed more Iso's from the CPU. This was most noticable in my game against the Mavs. Dirk would get the ball around the elbow, face away from the basket, pause for a couple seconds, maybe do a shoulder fake to the left or right, then do his ridiculous fadeaway. It was awesome, even though he was burning me with it.

Quote:

Pass accuracy has been toned down for passes out of a double team, passes out of contact shots, and non-inbound full court passes.

I think there is a nice balance with these now. The good passers have little trouble with double teams and long passes. But if you try passing out of a contact animation with someone like Joakim Noah, you might as well start running back to get on defense because there is no way that pass is connecting.

Quote:

CPU players are now much more selective when choosing to pass the ball while attacking the basket.

This seems to have been improved as well. Pre-patch, even with extensive roster and slider edits, I'd still see several ridiculous pass outs even on lightly-contested layup attempts. Now, those same attempts are resulting in layups, dunks, fouls, and blocks. Out of the four games I've played, there was exactly ONE pass out of a layup animation, and it was Jason Kidd kicking it to a wide open Jason Terry with the Mavs trailing by 5 with less than a minute to go (JET nailed it, too. That Mavs game was just a great game overall). So, I'm happy with this change as well.

That's the biggest stuff I've noticed gameplay-wise. I might be able to answer some more stuff about Association fixes tonight.

One of the biggest things I notice yesterday playing in a few games last night. Were miss layups in heavy traffic. I also saw a possession where...My opponent missed a wide open dunk. Then back the other way. I missed another wide open dunk. This was all online. I had several games where I had to question my opponent over the mic. "Did you change the sliders?".....3 guys answered the samething....."What are sliders?"....lol Easy way to know that means no.

Wow now this is the kinda stuff i'm talking about the meat and potatoes of the patch.

Can't believe you missed a open dunk in a online match and missed layups in heavy traffic is sounding great. So waiting on this patch for xbox, all my friends are in purgatory waiting on this.
