Kobe and Jordan seem like they have no hangtime on their jumpshots anymore. Nobody does. I honestly can't believe they patched something like this, I'm soooo disappointed.

Tell me about it......

I feel the same. The patch has ruined it for me honestly. No hangtime on jumpers, so the artform is gone. Now it's just a hurry up chuck.

Couple of things I hate:
Any body contact seems to mess up a dunk and you end up shooting a layup which has a much lesser chance of going in.

The computer randomly passes to players, usually farther from you. The momentum ends up taking them out of bounds if the pass is completed.

Over the back happens a lot now. No foul calls.

My game actually had the ball disappear which was worse than the Jesus glitch of Elite. It disappeared for 3 quarters. I called timeouts and went through halftime with no ball.

In the end, the patch took the fun away for me and my brothers who play this game religiously. They even asked me why I patched it. If I had known how bad it was, I wouldn't have.

@jtamay3

fyi. You can erase the patch. I am a ps3 user and i have deleted the patch (by going to game data utility in the ps3 menu), but before I did, I actually downloaded the rosters from 2kshare that I had wanted to test out (i.e. Rashidi, official 2k roster releases, etc.) and applied them to the pre-patch vers of the game and have been very satisfied with the results. If you prefer the 'pre-patch' gameplay, simply erase the patch. Problem solved. Hope this helps.

I'm not cool with the game post-patch. Besides the shot mechanics, the core gameplay now feels cheapened, rushed, buggy, and too easy on sim superstar.

Kind of a bummer.

I haven't experienced any problems with the shot releases or "quick releases" that so many people are reporting. Is that an online-only issue?

After about 20 games online since the patch. I'd have to say I liked the gameplay better pre patch.

- I notice more "contact animations" in the paint but no fouls being called. I use to draw way more fouls in the pant pre patch. To many times an animation plays out where my players dunk/lay up attempt gets changed from contact but no call is made and the ball just falls to the floor.

- I still dont like the "new" timing of the shot stick. I liked the release points pre patch (shots & freethrows) better than post patch. Neither seem correct but pre patch felt better.

- And just shooting as whole seems like it's just way to difficult online.

In My player I'm shooting 80% in the last 10 games or so.

I haven't really either but then again...

...it seems I'm lucky I never really played the game pre-patch. I have had no issues with the shot stick at all.

Does anyone know how to delete the patch on a 360???
