Game is visual eye candy. The presentation is terrific. Really holds my attention.

I let all of the cut scenes play out, just because I love looking at it so much.

*I don't have the game yet*

How does the CPU AI handle the ball offensively? How often do they shoot, can you play 12 minutes and not get 90-105 FGA? Do they pass it around and generally make good decisions?

On the lower levels: Pro and All Star, you can with some slider tweaks.

Anything above that, and the CPU starts becoming a circus: Gunning shots, alley oop throwing in traffic, and lots of nonsense.

I think the game does a good job in this area (with the right sliders). I use 12 minute-quarters in my Bulls franchise (check the sig) and typically the FGA for each team is in the 70-80 range.

I'm just incapable of doing this. I have tried both pro and allstar and I just can't keep the CPU from scoring fairly quickly. I've fiddled with Sliders, mostly branching off of Pared's, but I even tried playmakers (uggh, guys were tired in 3 minutes and it was a turnover and clank fast, just ugly basketball, not my thing) and I still struggle to stop the CPU. They consistently find players under the rim for easy baskets. I have trouble stopping the ballhandler and if I play off ball it seems my AI guys lose track of their man on cuts. As a result of them scoring so many baskets, I end up playing fast too, so I can catch up or stay ahead. I have no confidence in my or my teammates ability to get a stop, so my strategy is to have as many possessions as possible to keep my offense up as well. I see people talking about having sliders for the CPU shooting (and the user) as low as 42 and I just don't enjoy that. I want to stop the CPU because I played good defense, not because the sliders are lowered enough that they just miss shots. Open shots should generally be knocked down, by both user and CPU. That's the philosophy I go by with the sliders and level I play on. I've tried messing around with defensive assist, that right stick stuff, defensive awareness, help defense, etc. but in the end the CPU is going to drop between 105-120 points on me every game. I lead the league in scoring at 111 ppg but my defense gives up 107, and that's with 3 or 4 simmed games that were 85-80 type games. So I'm at a loss. I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that for whatever reason I'm just not good at defense. Maybe it is the reflexes in getting older (36), but it is really frustrating. I'll even have quarters where I stop the CPU (usually the 1st) and they may only get 10 or 15, but inevitably they will later have a quarter where they drop 40 on me.

Is it me or do plays break off almost immediately after they are called with the second patch?

Plays have been working fine for me second patch.

Really odd...before patch 2 I was able to call a play and not have to be right on the circle for it start and they would occasionally break off. Now I have to be exactly on the circle to start and they almost always break off.

I just got a ps3 and i downloaded an update. For some reason the ps3 version is different than the xbox version. The frame rate feels slow, the game skips, and the animation arent smooth? Is this a common problem, or is it because I didnt download patch 1, but the most recent patch, patch 3. I was thinking that maybe the slow framerate issue that was addressed in patch 1 is the cause. If it is...is there a way I can download patch 1?

my plays also break off if i'm not exactly on circle. sometimes even when I'm on circle, it takes so long for even first step of play to run the play doesn't run anymore or ball gets stolen b/c i'm sitting there waiting for play.

I think I figured it out...I lowered my tempo from 100 to 60 and the plays are working fine. Maybe because the tempo was so high my players were trying to rush through the plays.

I have problems with CPU rotations. Stars not playing enough. ( see CPU rotations thread). Was this an issue pre patch?

# 593 JBH3 @ 02/13/10 10:15 AM

Someone convince me why I should download the 2nd patch.

# 594 Brock @ 02/13/10 11:26 PM

That's going to be pretty hard to do... unless you don't play online.

I've said this so many times, but it seems like nobody cares or listens: Is it me or has the second patch completely f'ed up playing online? Except for My Player pickups (never really use) and online leagues (never used, but will). I can't ever play regular pickup games like I use to, before the second patch, and I miss it because it was my fav since last year.

# 595 nuttyrich @ 02/14/10 07:01 AM

Have you tried controlling the Center on defense? This has helped me out so much.

I used to use the PG usually my guy versus their star... but when pretty much just using the Center I play much better defense.. can clog the lane w/o fouling.. and make the computer take bad shots.

I set the pressure to "tight" on everyone except the Center who I manually control.

It also feels great manually getting your rebounds.

Give it a try (use the center) it will help out.

Playing on my roommate's Xbox, I don't notice any major differences in My Player, or in the quick game. I think I'm gonna DL it. After the last glitch that happened to me, I think I'm ready to suffer whatever patch #2 has to offer.

# 597 SDPadre#7 @ 02/14/10 08:47 PM

I just traded in NBA Live 10 (PS3) and picked up 2K10 again. Only things I like better in Live is the play calling and player control mechanics. As for "the realism effect", I think 2K10 has it pretty much nailed. Glitches aside, I'm enjoying the "#*@ out of it. Just my two cents.

Born, I've had no issues with patch 2. Thing is I turned off chemistry and roles for my association. Sucks but I wanted the fixes in patch 2 but not the 3pt stat glitch so it had to be done.

# 599 Bornindamecca @ 02/15/10 10:01 AM

Thanks, Alt. I play mostly My Player, so I can't turn anything off, but I don't think it'll be a game killer. There are other things that go on that I ignore. If Shaq jacks the occasional three, it'll be no different than when he dribbles back and forth for ten seconds trying to get under the basket, haha!

# 600 mattlanta @ 02/16/10 10:16 PM

Does this patch address these problems for me?
