I have visions of The Feds taking my very expensive gear! LOL! So I buy all of this junk that sounds so good and works so flawlessly on the internet and YouTube in particular. Uh huh.... It works for everyone but me... I'm hoping to get the Elgato up and running. I want to give NBA Live some love. Gonna be hard! But I'm game, dang it!

I think the El Gato only takes 1 USB to work but my issue was I have 2 monitors on my desk so the sound comes from 1 of them (the one hooked up via usb) and I couldn't get the sound to come out. I did get the picture up.

I just didn't feel like the hassle or only using one monitor and ironically I started hooking my PC up to my 60 inch anyway

Has anyone figured out what the extra 1 Gb was all about? We got extra video config options, but did that take up 1 Gb?

I've noticed if you are on the road it makes it harder to stop, but taking timeouts or pulling off a momentum swinging play does end the cpu's comeback. As an example, I've played a game since the patch as the Blazers in Washington. I got off to a great start and went up 15 in the second quarter. In the third they gradually closed the gap all the way to within 1 point and then I crossed John Wall and got a 3 point play with Damian Lillard which allowed me to pull away for good. There is some comeback logic but if you play to your teams strengths and know how to control tempo it's not op.

Can anyone tell me a quick way to check if steam automatically downloaded the patch or not? I don't remember seeing Steam downloading anything and there is nothing in the "Downloads" tab. If I try to see the update history it just takes me to the NBA 2k15 news page on Steam, and if I go to client or product updates there's nothing there.

Thank you for your help.

Got a question for anyone who's played the console game AND can tell the difference between 30 and 60 FPS without a counter - does the console use a "Dynamic VSYNC" effect for between-play scenes like you have an option for on the console? Just wondering because I think I've found a really nice balance with my graphics options and turning that on. Stays a smooth 60 in gameplay and then ratchets down to 30 for the closeups. Reminds me of the way The Show does it which isn't bad at all.

I really like having that option, since between-play scenes are just eye-candy to me.

There's probably easier ways but you could check either videosettingshelp.txt or VideoSettings.cfg in AppData\Roaming\2K Sports\NBA 2K15 to see if they include new features such as:

HAIRLOD
COLOR_CORRECTION
DEPTH_OF_FIELD
BLOOM
VOLUMETRIC_EFFECTS

which are new to this patch..

Oh also since the patch in Steam if I right click on nba2k15 and click properties it show the following:

File size: 51100MB on drive C:
Current content build id: 453503

Load the game and see if Damian Lillard has a facescan.
