NBA 2K12 PC Patch Available Now, Details Included

[GOBLUE_08]

I downloaded the patch last night and installed it. I keep my game offline because, well, online is worthless. All my mods and everything are still intact, there is definitely a noticeable change in gameplay but I'm not getting the problems that other folks are seeing. So if you dont mind not being able to go online and you want to keep your mods just firewall it and everything seems to be fine. Just may have to tweak your sliders a bit

I haven't decided if I'm going to download the patch or not. I've been reading reviews since it was released and am still on the fence. I am getting great gameplay/sim-stats with my All-Star sliders and have also developed some really good Pro sliders for watching CPU games.

I have seen the list of fixes the patch contained, but from gameplay experience, can you guys tell me some reasons that I should download the patch?

Really the only reason I downloaded was to fix some of the nagging stuff the sliders can't fix. Trade logic, more efficient directional passing, things like that. I was otherwise having a ball with my franchise using Alby's rosters and sliders

Same deal here as far as enjoying the game before but I haven't noticed any new weird bugs since downloading the patch. Passing seems a bit quicker and more logical (just saw KLove bounce pass to a cutter from the post).

I don't know if it's just me but passing improvements seem to not carry over to existing associations. Not a huge deal to me but I know that could suck for a lot of people. Maybe someone could confirm gameplay improvements applying to existing saves.

Long time coming but meh... still enjoying myself. It'll be interesting to see how 2k approaches the game next year though since it seems that there was a ton of negative feedback coming back at them for this years game.

I started a new association too because changes didn't carry over my previous saves.The passing improvemets are huge.The movement both on D and offense is now spectacular.I'm using Albys roster now and game has reached levels of a pure 9+ out of 10.I don't get why there are so many negative reactions to this year's game.Let's hope 2k will rely on the constructive criticism of their customers and will not ruin the franchise with 2k13.Nba2k11 was great but with major flaws and Nba2k12 is surely an improvement.Build from here 2k.

I will need to try a quick game, have only played an older save since the patch.

But what actually did carry over are

• lower shooting percentages
• no excessive jumping forward on on-ball steal attempts
• defensive positioning of AI teammates and opponents

It sounds strange that some changes would not apply to older saves, as long as they're not tied to roster changes.
But I will try a quick match to validate this.

The patch DOES carryover to current associations. I can attest to that!
