yea iv noticed those but i remember seeing a youtube video of Lebron and Vince have a set of 2.0 packages of there own. Do you somehow unlock those on your own or will it be released on a random Roster Update?

I used the Blazers last night against a friend who basically either shoots 3s or shoots layups and I had 5 blocks with Oden, 5 with Aldridge, 3 with Pryzbilia, 3 with Outlaw.

Dakkon or anyone else,

Do you know if they fixed bobby brown's(SAC) chin in the roster update?

everyone that does sliders on here keep putting the help d all the way to the right. that is totally wrong. I will not take credit for it but the guy that found it must have played ncaa football cause most of their sliders was like that.
Why don't everyone put the help d slider all the way down to 0. I'm telling you, you will see defenders cheat off of their man. It add so much more to give you that realistic D awareness.

For ai and human?

I just played 2 games online and the game is amazing online right now. Defense is everywhere, way more deflected passes, layups/hooksots ARE NOT money under the hoops anymore, the 3 point shooting has been toned waaaaaaaaaay down when you got a man in your face, freethrows are silky smooth now.

Great patch.........the online game in my opinion is FAR greater than it was just a day ago.

And I can find ranked matches with EASE now. No more waiting 20 mins until I finally get a game in.

Good times.

# 226 grob23lbj @ 12/03/08 06:44 PM

I'm not that good with sliders nor do I have time to problem solve to get great results. What I do know is the single most important slider is the help d slider. Now that we figured it out it need to be updated in every slider makers posted sliders. If it is not someone need to communicate this info to them. I know they can add to it.
The help D sliders are backwards.

They didn't fix him, they just gave him a new face that doesn't have the yellow on the chin. It's a completely new random face for him and doesn't look anything like the face they had before.

So are yall using the same Roster and Sliders as before? Or starting out fresh? I been using Raz Roster and futures sliders pre-patch

# 231 -Boss- @ 12/03/08 07:00 PM

While my opponent , on EVERY possession took all his players out of position I could not capitalize on the open looks, or rarely could I while those Rockets He had Yao Ming miss timing blocks all out of position just pressing block with NO CONSIDERATION of timing it and Yao gets a grand total of ZERO personal fouls on the game. NONE. As usaul the game found , better yet, invented ways to screw the lesser team. Like a wise man said "mm mmm mmm Morr Morrrrr Morrrrph". I just hope that sliders can help this game now with the patch. It does seem a bit more 2K8 with stock sliders than though

Awesome to see ya TO!

A couple notes I want to add on.

Morphing/Clipping
There is still the morphing. It's less subtle, a nice attempt to hide it. I played online game against Rockets last night and the following things happened against me because my opponent was "better".

1. Run around with McGrady and quick pass to Ming/Landry for a layup attempt. Darko Milicic/Marc Gasol jump and "attempt" to block ball, but Ming/Landry was better and managed to push ball through their hand.

2. Rockets players get back on D, with only Ming left to attempt rebound. Boxed out by one of my bigs, he manages to leap 30" in the air and grab the ball over and past Gasol/Milicic's head...

3. Read "defended jumpshots" for next one

Defended jumpshots
Don't work, plain and simple. The kid (13 year old talking major s***) was draining long 2s/3s after bringing ball up with Barry over Gay/Ross! I swear to God! that Gay should have had anywhere between 5-10 blocks but again, the kid outplayed me and managed to shot through my hand...

Point in Paint
Using the paint, he scored like 87% of point in Paint. I think he score like 70 and had 56 in paint and rest off 3s. No fts, nothing. Ming had a great game, going 10/13. The 3 misses were me being lucky and his hooks hitting off back of rim..

# 234 TMagic @ 12/03/08 07:36 PM

Not sure if it was mentioned already but....

They fixed some of the grading when you play 5 on 5 online.

Before the patch, I would get irritated that I would get docked for trying to help out on defense, or another persons man would get an offensive rebound.

That is no longer the case. If you help out, and go to defend another person's man and he scores, it doesn't count against you. Only the person who is suppose to be guarding him.

This may not be a big deal to some. But for me, I would get extremely agitated over it.

I'd be playing with people who are shooting every chance they get, so I'd never get to do anything offensively to earn a good grade. Then on defense I help out because people are leaving their men wide open or letting them get right to the rim, and because I'm around when the man scores, I'm constantly getting docked because of it. So I get left with a low grade only because I'm being active and being a good teammate.

Pissed me off man. Glad they fixed it.

# 235 godsgift2dagame @ 12/03/08 07:37 PM

To add to the Defended Jumpshots part...

I showed the kid the replay, slowly moving at like 1/2 speed and he laughed and said it's part of the game, that the designers wouldn't have put it in if it wasn't...

# 236 babythug23 @ 12/03/08 07:52 PM

So the 5 on 5 works now?

# 237 Rinse @ 12/03/08 08:00 PM

I love how they fixed Bosh and Calderon's jumpshots!

I'd say so. Much better.

I played two games, with 10 users in each. The game played smooth. Very playable now. No more slow down or "waiting for opponent" message popping up every 10 seconds.

The only thing is that there is still that half-second lag when you try to do something. Makes it very hard to guard people or stay with them with they don't have the ball and are constantly moving around.

But other than that. Much much improved. They also added a few different camera angles too which work well.

# 239 pilonv1 @ 12/03/08 08:35 PM

I'm guessing there's no camera flip for High camera still? At least I can play on 2k.

Thanks Dakkon. I'll take that over orange chin.
