NBA Live 10 Patch #2 Available For 360 & PS3, Post Impressions Here

09:50 AM - December 8, 2009 by Steve_OS

The second patch for NBA Live 10 is now available for 360 and PS3 owners. Please post your impressions here.

This quote from blackflash83, NBA Live Community Manager.

Quote:


	"The second title update will address a lot of the bugs that came from the first update as well as address the three point issue that has been plaguing online play. The online fatigue issue will also be fixed as well. It will also look to address some of the freezing issues that some of you have run into as well."

EDIT: Adding what the patch addresses:

-Addressed goaltending issue to ensure that when a goaltending foul is received while blocking a dunk that the correct points are allocated.
-Addressed an issue ensuring that Ranked Online match forced to have fatigue set on.
-Fine tuned 3 point % completion rates to reduce the likelihood of successes to more realistic values
-Addressed an Injury Removal issue, where adding inured players to the starting lineup and attempting to sub them off was unsuccessful.

With the three point issue, the team worked to make the three point percentage more realistic based on tuning the shot release, defender proximity, player skill and distance from the basket. This was a key issue that the community asked be addressed and the development team took the extra time to ensure that three point shooting is more realistic.

Wow, unbelievable the bickering on this site. I just have one quick question and i am out of yall's hair, however, would appreciate an unbiased answer. So with patch 2 being out now, in your opinion is the game as a whole better than at launch. I do not want to get rid of the game, but havent played it in a while due to the wait on this patch. Thanks for your opinions. A simply yes, or no will suffice.

IMO its better. I actually feel like the game plays how it did pre patch. I love it! Between this and college 10 my Gaming time is completely full. I'm am more than satisfied.

why should we have to guess what the patch addresses? Where are our patch notes?

Just cause someone shoots 30 3pters, that itself is not the game's fault. That's just dumb opponents.

Your point is "half" right. I wish people would read the whole thread and most replies before they try to repeat what someone else has already said...Look, you're right, if someone jacks up 30 threes, its not the games fault. But if the shot is successful 50% of the time, it is the games fault. There are no penalties for guys who play like this and it's in the games dna to have high octane 3 point shooters hit more than they miss. THEY NEED TO BE PENALIZED FOR THIS TYPE OF GAMEPLAY. No player in the NBA is going to jack up 30 three's and hit half of them. Like I said before, you'd need to play close to a full 48 minutes to even get that many GOOD shots and even then take fatigue into account as far as the success rate of those shots go. And this game does not take that into affect.

You're awfully demanding.

This patch is supposed to address the OT Glitch. That's about all we know. I would think they addressed fatigue in online play as well, if possible.

# 128 buzzguy @ 12/09/09 02:28 PM

Played Rewind game in my dynamic season this morning, and I still like how the game plays!
No complaints here (just props...love NBA Live this year)!

# 129 bigbambooski @ 12/09/09 02:45 PM

i think it mainly focused on

1. OT/goaltending problem
2. online fatigue back in ranked matches
3. inbound glitch

i guess it is working cuz people dont even have time to come here and tell us if those problems are for sure fixed....

That's good to hear. I hope that stays that way, as that was the only real complaint I had about Live this year.

there is a bug, when i guard the cpu close outside the 3 pointer, he will take one step back and launch a 3 pointer, i hope this one is gone!?

i have seen it 3 times post patch out of maybe 20 games, it was done by weak offensive players, i bumped star players they just carried on,i bumped A. johnson on the magic he pulled but it wasn't a 3

Someone already posted in this thread that they did not see that after the patch.

It's going to take some time before people can get some solid impressions with the patch. Edit - Never mind, carnal just posted he saw it.

There's your answer.

# 134 loadleft @ 12/09/09 04:33 PM

Wow, took me longer to read through all this than to play 12 min quarter game, LOL. I am a big personal responsibility advocate so keep that in mind when reading my post.

First out my limited experience with Patch #2 I'd say it's a major improvement. About 70% back towards pre-patch #1.

1. Still doesn't punish you for over dribbling but it does punish you for running into the lane w/at least some idea of what you're going to do, just not as much as pre-patch #1.

2. The auto protect the ball is still there but I tested it on a couple and pick and rolls and it's not as much of a problem anymore.

3. Jumpshots seem harder to make now, but they may be that I haven't played since the early days of patch #2

4. Suction D seems to be gone, YIPPEE!!!

4.a. Cat and mouse D (playing the angles) seems to be back for the most part! yippee!

I really hope the devs don't read this thread to seek advice as to what to do with Live 11. There are guys who simply can't play complaining about stuff that would really screw the game up. (Sorry, nothing personal) R1 magnetic field!? R1 is just supposed to be something to help (operative word is HELP) you play D not play it for you. Let go of R1 back off of your check (unless you're much faster than he is) when he's moving and close out when he shoots! On Ball Defense 101. Why on earth would they make it so that we'd hold a button down and watch the CPU play D for us? Shucks if they do that why even have to hold the button down, why not just let the CPU take over on D? It's not that hard to defend the cheese 3pt shots or any jumpers for that matter. Use it to your advantage that you know no matter where he runs you know where his goal is and just back up a little and keep yourself between him and the basket (that will require minor sliding side to side not cat-like reflexes) and then close out on the shot with the proper timing. One quick hint is that the proper time to make him miss isn't as soon as he releases the ball unless he's real close to the basket. Personal responsibility dictates that when one reaches an unfavorable result that he ask himself what did I do wrong not blame it on something someone else did, even if it's their fault.

Sorry for the rant but I just fear that the complainers will turn Live into 2K then I'll have nothing to play. It's been that way since patch #1 now it's back to being playable for me. One other question for you guys that give EA business advice: How many of you run a business?

One last impression is that the flow and feel to the game is back in the direction of pre-patch #1, YIPPEE!!!!!! Sorry for my tone in this post but I feel that the complainers contributed to Patch #1 and I don't want them to contribute to Live 11, especially after all the progress that was made in Live 10 (at launch)

You can only go back to the way the game was off the disc.

You'd have to clear your cache. A quick internet search will show you how to do that. This will clear all patches you've ever downloaded as well.

# 136 Stumbleweed @ 12/09/09 05:02 PM

It would do both patches... whenever you get a game late (i.e. Madden) and it has 2 patches, they both come when you sign in the first time. You can't play online without the most current patch either.

Specifics???

# 138 Wiffyjustus @ 12/09/09 06:05 PM

To be fair it's a bit hard to comment on impressions as there isn't really any big changes to comment on.

Everything that was added in the first patch is still there... (protect ball animations, more interceptions and bad passes into the paint, etc)

It does feel like it has had some tweaking. Feels smoother.

Someone already mentioned it feeling somewhere between the release and the first patch. I'd have to agree with that. All the gameplay additions of the first patch and some of the fluidity of pre-patch restored.

As a person how really loved it out of the box, I'm pretty happy with it.

It is pretty much exactly what the first patch should have been. Bugs ironed out, gameplay additions given better fine tuning.

# 139 Wiffyjustus @ 12/09/09 06:11 PM

I know people would love more specifics on gameplay tweaks but nothing stands out as major changes.

As Blackflash said, it's got "minor gameplay tweaks". It's hard to be specific, I can only comment on how it feels. The same, only a little smoother.

# 140 inkpimp007 @ 12/09/09 06:12 PM

Okay I've played a few more games and what I realized i'm not seeing is all the annoying elbow blocks that plagued the game. it took me a while to realize it but when I did I was like oh yeah I really didn't get a whole lot of that.

I wish they would say what they've add because i believe i'm seeing some new animations.... nothing crazy just subtle things that make sense and a few more dynamic commentary as well. Heard Kerr talking about something to do with my lakers team i hadn't heard before.

I going to say however much or little they did do I'm loving this game again. Is it perfect no but it Sim and it's fun= WIN!
