Next NBA 2K12 Patch Arrives Before Christmas, Roster Updates Pushed Frequently

[RedmanR]

I mean thanks for the news but in reality this is no news. I think it's fair to say that many of us who keep track of what's going on with the NBA on a regular basis already had a pretty good idea of when to expect the first roster update to drop. I know I wasn't expecting to see any updates beyond shoes before Dec. 9th. I already knew after that trades, free agent and rookie signings are going to be sporadic up until the season kicks off but I don't think anyone mentioned a deadline unless I missed it


I'm really disappointed that it's been two months since 2K12 dropped and still. . . we haven't the slightest idea of issues to be addressed in the upcoming patch. This has got to be one hell of a patch! Correct me if I'm wrong but. . . 2K has been working on the patch for a minute so either it's been submitted to Microsoft/Sony or that's going to happen this coming week. Anything less than leaps and bounds I will definitely be waiting until the patch drops before purchasing my next NBA 2K installment

At least we know that the patch is coming this month. This game is so close to greatness. I'd play a couple minutes of beautiful basketball and then some weird thing happens with the passing or whatever that drives me to drink heavily, weeping in the corner in a fetal position.

Is this patch going out in the same week for PC as it is for consoles?

Something that most seem to have overlooked ...

Quote:

The big difference will be in NBA 2K12's "NBA Today" mode. When the season is going on, gamers can play one-off games from the real-world schedule of that day—and NBA 2K12's robust commentary engine will reference real world events. During the lockout, NBA Today was serving up hypothetical canceled games and the booth team of Kevin Harlan, Clark Kellogg and Doris Burke were commenting on them out of context. "That's really what separates us from other video games," Boenisch said. "Without the league going on, we have to rely solely on the disc commentary. We still think it's more robust than any other game out there, but it doesn't have that real world data—how many points Kobe scored in real life last night, or how the Clippers did against the Warriors, breathing that continually new aura of life into the game."

I was pesimistic about them accounting for a new schedule, maybe just maybe, they do it for association ... but something tells me that it would be more complicated to do it for that mode than for the NBA today one. Good to hear anyways.

Not fussed about the rookies at all seeing as I'm not a big fan of today's generation of the NBA, but hearing that the patch is coming soon is definitely a winner!

This game is almost unplayable for me because of the lack of defense and lack of control. Way too animation driven. Also, the game's logic needs major tweaking.

Not the thread for this but thanks for playing

I agree. Are they gonna fix the control on defense ? (all that terrible sliding around)

You might wanna change your sig to MLB The Show if they don't.
