NBA 2K12 Patch 1.04 Available Now - Post Impressions Here (PS3, 360)

[mjshedrick09]

I Like all of the updates back to back. However the game still lacks players that have signed contracts. All the Lakers rookies have signed.

After a couple of quick games...

A lot of the glitches seem to have been ironed out, with the exception of the fake pass button still passing the ball on occasion. Improvements made in some areas, like the speed of passes. That hitch before a chasedown block seems to be gone. Still seeing players slide, warps, psychic defense and all that, but no one expected any changes to the game engine. It's outdated and troublesome, but it is what it is.

Outside of that, I had asked about player speed last night and can confirm myself now that everyone on the court still sprints at the exact same speed regardless of ratings. This a dealbreaker for me in terms of gameplay. It seems like something 2K can fix with roster updates, but then they'd have to address all kinds of ratings issues that skew the balance of the game and I'm not holding my breath.

TL;DR: This patch has some important fixes but only gets us to about 2/3 of a final build. Looking forward to starting my association after 1.05.

Just finished the first quarter on Hall of Fame/Default, everything on. I'm playing as the Suns versus the Cavs. The cheapness from the CPU is definitely gone. They finally play within themselves and not above themselves. If you play defense and get a hand up, it will affect their shot success -- finally!

Here are the stats from the first quarter (I play 12 mins quarters)

Score
Cavs - 25 Suns - 24

Cavs - 11/23 (47%) from the field Suns 9/20 (45%) from the field

Cavs - 0/3 from 3 Suns 2/7 (28%) from 3

Cavs - 3/6 from free throws Suns - 4/4 from free throws

Cavs - 5 assists Suns - 4 assists

Both teams have 2 turnovers apiece.

The Cavs have 12 total rebounds. The Suns have 8 total rebounds.

The Cavs have 2 steals. The Suns have 1 steal.

The Cavs don't have any blocks. The Suns have 3 blocks.

The Cavs have 18 points in the paint. The Suns have 14.

The only negative I have, like I said before, is the lack of speed in the open court. If they can fix that through rosters or a small patch, this game would probably hold up well until 2K13.

I haven't played a third quarter yet, so I don't know if the scripted comebacks have been eliminated. If so, Hall of Fame is definitely a legitimate difficulty setting again.

EDIT: I would recommend tuning the quickness slider to your liking. At default, the players move a little too quickly.

How is it not a but if your getting inaccurate stats every time.

Can someone be so kindly to check if association rotation minutes have been improved. You know most players average 34 minutes and under. Also if you can edit age. Thanks

[peZt]

Is it possible to edit age now?

I want to play an asso with the best teams ever, but can't if all the legends retire after the first season.

I'm hoping that the whole "we can't change jersey's online" thing is because the season hasn't started yet. Hopefully once the season starts this will be unlocked (can this be done with a roster update ??......probably not....lol). If not...I know it's just a minor cosmetic thing but it really does kinda stink that we cant even select a 3rd/alternate jersey.

Has anyone tried a new online association with the 1.04 patch. Are there any more options for the Admin or is it still limited like before.
