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

[Elbowz]

Sorry if this has been mentioned; I read up until page 24-25 without any mention of it.....but....the My Player all-star game glitch is still in, where if you actually PLAY any minutes, you'll be sent to the bench the following game(s) with your real team.

It's a mother******' crime that my 85-rated all star PG has to sit behind Chris Duhon in the rotation. Luckily I have a 2nd save where I didn't play at all in the game, so I'm not TOO salty about their oversight. But still, 2K, fix This please

I think this is very true.

I'm playing through as association where I played maybe 45 of the 82 game schedule and there were tons of CPU trades. I was even offered CPU trades a good dozen times over the course of the season.

So my question is did this patch fix the horrible lag at the beginning of games inside an offline season?

My biggest gripe, and only question is... Can you control your players and play some man to man defense without sliding all over the place as if you were on ice ?

Yep. Defense feels much better. It just feels like 2k11 now..

Thanks blues. Hopefully I get to judge for myself today. I'm like 0-25 against the Magic in the Ewing challenge. Today is the day....

Well I'm on 360 but since they said the 3 MB download is the patch, I'm definitely noticing some differences in one quick ranked game:

PROS:
-PASSING! Passing is back, very few laggy delayed passes and passing overall is more crisp. Also passing into the post is better.
-Finally guys can't just use the X button ad nauseum and call it 'defense'. Reach in fouls seem to happen more frequently.
-Movement seems to be a bit smoother overall, though I did have some delays trying to explode from the triple threat.
-Shot off dribble seems to be harder and shots overall seem a bit more context based. Hopefully now I won't have to deal with guys just running around swishing shots off dribble.

CONS:
-Still see the canimation dunks. I was playing a guy who was using the Mavs and had old man VC pull off two of these.
-One of the downsides to passing being easier is that you do see the lead passes to the paint being more effective. I'm ok with this tradeoff if it means passing overall is better, but some might be upset with that.
