For the last 3 days I havent been able to play a complete game ... not for ranked vs, not for ranked teamup, nor for playing a friend.

"All" games (around 10, really more) suffered from disconnections and all say that "no more players remaining" ... some had lag some not ... I know its not the players logging off or quitting since some where vs friends and most were with tight scores.

It seems that the disconnections due to network error are still there but just with another name ... or maybe the problem mutated into this.

This is a contrast of the great experience I had inmediately after both patchs. Hope it can get looked into and be solve.

BTW, there are way less people playing the game online for the last 2 days ... it migh be related to issues such as the above and maybe i conjuction with MW3 release, it certainly seems that COD takes a huge toll out of every other game.

Ok, I been reading this blog and all im reading is crying, crying, crying!!!!..
Sometimes people should look in the mirror and say am I good at this game yet. Can I really play Defense, can I really play offense and Do I really understand basketball. I mean before the patch yea three’s went in to much contested. Yeah the steals are crazy, yeah the framerate and bugs gets annoying but people this is a computer programmed game so nothing is gonna be perfect!! That’s why your job has an IT department. Cause software programs are gonna do weird things. What about the Pros in the game!!!!..Yall waiting on EA sports when they was going to put out an obvious imcomplete game last year and still cant compete this year. Lets give 2Ksports some credit.

My thoughts on the new 1.03 patch is positive.

1)The contested three’s did go down but you cant get mad if people make open threes.
2) The steals are still a bit out of control but you have to move like real life and use your body to proctect the ball. Also, you should calm down with the turbo button.
3)Defensive help is way better than before. The help defender is not just roaming all over the place for no reason. The game itself has a better feel.

I don’t play online but im going to try it out to experience what everybody is writing about the steal button spammers. I will give an update on that. Also, I don’t mean to offend anyone. Like Czar said, “DON’T PLAY VIDEO GAMES, PLAY BASKETBALL”.

Question...are u guys playing with default sliders and adjusting accordingly after the patch, using previous used sliders, or strictly default or sim sliders?

Bblade, if you don't play online why would you feel the need to address posters whose complaints are almost entirely related to the online experience?

Sam I understand you big time. But I read a lot of post about people who play offline complaining. I should have said this is for the offline gamers. My fault on that one.

I really cant wait to get home to test out the online world. I mean shouldnt the patch work online cause i dont adjust sliders offline. The reason is if i go to someone house to play them tmost likely they will not have my adjustement and that will obviously affect my play.

My thoughts exactly. The majority of my complaints are from the online experience. Sliders help alleviate, and sometimes eliminate, my offline gripes and concerns. The only offline gripe I really have that's not fixable at this point is the slow, floaty passes. Online, however, you are at the mercy of programming and animations with no alternatives to correct them. That's why some, like myself, are unhappy with the game in its current state.

I see what you're saying now Bblade. And Most1ted, all you can do at this point is sit back and wait. Is what it is.

Good to hear. I'll go ahead and get the patch. I do want the defensive AI improvements and toned down 3s. Thanks.
