NBA 2K11 Patch v1.2 Available Now, Post Impressions Here

[NINJAK2]

Loving this game post-patch. I've been playing online mostly and have played about 8 games virtually lag free. No game drops. Most frustrating aspect is the jumpshooting, primarily 3's online. They were tough before and even tougher now. With the improved interior defense with contact animations, perimeter shots r even more important now. Gonna take more practice I guess to start hitting them. Kudos 2k.

When I do that he steps back and pops the shot... Basically I have a healthy respect for his ability to blow past me on the dribble. Yet when I do play off him and beat him to the angle h doesn't just blow past me. So its very early but so far it seems like a great balance for the cpu. Game feels really really good to me more open and yet more structured at the same time. LOVING it but again its just a half.

Czar anymore impressions of the patch pros and cons?

Is not roll of the dice. Is called ratings of players. Why should all shots go in if the release is done on the green mark. For that then NBA elite would be the game for those types.

Even a perfect release should not mean a 60 rated bench player should be stroking jumpers.

That is not sim. That is arcadish which means all user skill and no ratings involved.

No PC patch?

^^^^ did the patch do anything for created players or teams? like do they finally say names during subs or intros? I haven't had a chance to get it yet..

I agree completely. My free-throw shooting has suffered the most. I have to hold the Shot stick extremely late now to get a good release.

My Player mode plays fine in my opinion. The difference is that I had to actually learn how to play off the ball. Once I get to the blue spot, and the ball gets to the person the play is designed for, I cut to the basket and look to get to open spots on the court and have gotten passes from my teammate for easy layups and close jumpshots. If you stay active your teammates will find you, but I learned just standing on the blue spot until its time run back on D is not effective. I crash the paint which has resulted in more rebounds now, and it feel like I have become the hard hat dirty worker player on the team now. Its cool, I look at like I am the Joakim Noah of SF's now. Just stay active once the ball gets to the designed person and good things happen for you
