NBA 2K13 News Post


The NBA 2K13 patch has arrived for PS3 and 360. The details on the patch haven't been released yet, but we'll update this post as soon as they are available.

UPDATE: NBA 2K13 Patch Details

GAMEPLAY
  • Improved AI rebounding logic to balance out offensive rebound frequency.
  • Tuned AI transition defense; users will now have more fast break opportunities against the CPU. Additionally, CPU teammates are now more able to guard their opponents on the break.
  • Long range passes are now less accurate and will result in more fumbled and missed catches.
  • Passing successfully out of a double team has been tuned to be slightly more difficult.
  • Tuned the logic behind Charging calls so that they are properly called. Charges will now sometimes be called when the defender is in position and stationary, even if he is not in the “Take Charge” animation.
  • Tuned timing on block animations, and made the AI more vigilant about blocking layups and dunks.
  • Improved reach-in foul detection when defender continually swipes at the ball, results in more called fouls where appropriate.
  • AI now only calls for a full court press in appropriate situations (i.e. late in the game).
  • Addressed two dunk animations that were not counting for a score when they were converted.
  • Fixed an issue where Replay would show the incorrect play, rather than what actually happened on the court.
  • AI positioning when running plays has been tuned so that big men with limited shooting range will not move further away from the basket than what their range allows.
  • AI teammates will now remain in the Post Up position longer when a Quick Post play is called for them.
  • Tuned alley-oop and putback dunks such that only players who have a high tendency to perform either move are able to finish with one.
  • Removed the restrictions for the ‘Microwave’ Signature Skill such that it now works regardless of whether you are already on a hot or cold streak.
  • When a block is recorded for a player with the ‘Eraser’ Signature Skill, only the shooting attributes of the blocked player are lowered.
  • Fixed a rare issue where a traveling violation would be called on a pass fake.
  • Referee Review on last shot will no longer play if the shot has no effect on the outcome of the game.
  • A number of other smaller changes have been made to address issues and enhance the user experience.
  • Tuned three-point percentage.
GENERAL
  • NIKEiD shoes will now appear properly in-game after being equipped to a player.
  • Addressed an issue where the game score would disappear in Blacktop games when Signature Highlights were viewed in the pause menu.
  • Fixed an issue where Free Throw Feedback would no longer appear in games after playing an Online MyTEAM game.
  • Addressed an issue in Online MyTEAM games where the away team player would have the Signature Skills of the home team player if identical players were used in the game by both players.
  • Music will no longer be disabled and Game Settings will no longer revert back to Default when completing an online game in MyTEAM.
  • Changed the difficulty settings for all of the seeds in MyTEAM.
  • (360) Addressed a Kinect issue where a misleading overlay would appear when a timeout was called through a voice command when no timeouts were remaining.
MyCAREER
  • Added additional warning re: conversion of an online MyCAREER (one that earns VC) to an offline MyCAREER (one that earns Skill Points).
  • Fixed an issue where the remainder of the user’s schedule would appear empty after participating in the various All-Star Weekend events. This change also carries over to Association/Season modes.
  • ‘Run Plays’ and ‘PlayVision’ should now function properly (when activated), regardless of your MyPLAYER’s position.
  • Fixed an issue where all games in October would be simulated when ‘Play Next Game’ is selected after the start of a new season.
  • Users playing MyCAREERs that accrue Skill Points will no longer find themselves with negative skill points after played games (where a number of unlikely conditions were all met).
  • Addressed a rare hang that would occur if the “Defend Your Home Court” billboard commercial would play between quarters of the Rising Stars Challenge or All-Star game.
  • Addressed a number of issues with the Social Media feature, including one where the news feed would stop updating completely.
  • When changing teams via free agency in the offseason, your MyPLAYER will now receive the proper role (starter, sixth man, etc.) that was promised during the contract negotiation.
  • You will no longer fail the Dynamic Goal “Give your team the lead before the game ends” when subbed out before the end of the game.
  • The Teammate Chemistry rating on the “Play Next Game” loading screen should now display the correct value (as seen in the Social Media menu).
  • The volume of the menu music and sound effects will no longer become extremely quiet after playing consecutive games in MyCAREER.
ASSOCIATION
  • 3PT Tendency progression logic has been rewritten to correctly model the growth variances within each player type in the game. This change also carries over to MyCAREER mode.
  • Users will no longer lose their Scouting Reports after viewing the Recent Games tab of a player card.
  • Birth years can now be set to later than 1993 when editing Draft Classes after the first season of Association.
  • Addressed a rare hang that would occur when attempting to participate in the Dunk Contest with a created player assigned to a created team.
  • (Association: Online) Offense and Defense options should now save properly when using the Total Sim Control feature.
  • (Association: Online) Admins will now have access to appropriate Commissioner Tools during the offseason.
NOTE: All patch fixes will work in your existing game mode saves (MyCAREER, Association, etc.).

Are they official 2k rosters or 2k share rosters? It's been discussed in the roster forum that 2K has blocked heavily hexed rosters or something and you have to follow this tutorial to use them. http://www.operationsports.com/forum...oster-usb.html

What's good family.

Gameplay wise there are lots of goodies in there that fit under the umbrella of "A number of other smaller changes have been made to address issues and enhance the user experience."

The gameplay team never puts all the stuff the enhanced in the notes. LOL

The pick and roll game is no placebo. It appears some work was done on the hedge and it gives the PnR game much more flow to it. Not as much jumbling and unnecessary bumping.

Also the AI off ball defensive positioning appears to be tuned which opens more passing lanes so you may notice more offensive flow but still have shots challenged.

ALso have to love the work that was done on the defensive close out's to the shooter they respect the spacing much more and pump fakes on close outs seem so far to be more effective when they should.

Those things alone are having a big impact on my enjoyment of the game so far.

NOt sure if I like the change in the post yet my post turn J's are getting touched OFTEN. not sure yet if I just need to make an adjustment with a move prior to the shot of if it is a game imbalance.

Anyway lots of things to notice and enjoy so far.

Please!!!! We have far greater other issues than to worry about sleeves and pads..
C'mon man let's get real!!

MyCareer still freezes in my 3rd year after I asked for a contract extension. Now I can't play any MyCareer games. Any Help is MUCH Appreciated...(Also I have the Allstar DLC)

As far as the euro step 3 it doesn't affect me one bit either. I do see how if I played in those mode's for VC points I would care. I only play offline association and play now against a friend. So that animation does not affect people like me. All I really care about is game play. I honestly like the game. I am using mkharsh33 sliders and have had a very enjoyable experience.
It's a game and they can not make everyone who plays every mode happy. The people that talk about being able to use 2 knee pads as a major problem are ridiculous. WHY does this change your view and like for the game? Should not.

Who cares about PADS BRO!!!!!!!!! GAMEPLAY IS WHAT MATTERS!!!!!!!

Did anyone else read this in the classic Da_Czar deep voice?

Andrew Bynum was a terror in the post (he was fed the ball often) and the crazy shooting numbers by the other players fell more in line with what I would expect. There are still a few things that need to be ironed out (such as CPU substitution patterns), but I may just keep this game and finally be able to get a decent experience from playing against the CPU. Thanks for the info sir.
I would like to know where Thelorn team tendencies are as well. Or at least a roster that is using them. If you find them could you post the link in the thread?

Offline gameplay on all star and above is WAY more enjoyable. It's even actually pretty good.
 
# 271 Dash2112 @ 11/27/12 04:24 PM
One thing I'm still noticing is 3s going in with a high percentage. I'm not pressing the block button, but I'm using hands up and the auto contest and am regularly getting burned by 3s online.
 
# 272 edeyen @ 11/27/12 04:25 PM
Is the online association included on this patch?
When is going to update rosters for OA?

We are waiting............

I for one am happy that this day and age we can have companys that put out patches to tweak games. Coming out with a new and fresh game every year is super hard.
 
# 275 michael785 @ 11/27/12 04:34 PM
do u have to restart an offline association for this patch to take effect?
 
# 276 jeebs9 @ 11/27/12 04:39 PM
You DON"T have to reststart any association.

That's a game to game basis thing as it should be. You're not giving enough info here as you're not stating the following:

1. Are you denying ball off ball on shooters?

2. Are you user contesting these shots with LT/Right stick?

3. What's your defensive pressure set at?

4. Are they using a pick to shoot these threes?

5. Who are they shooting with? Who are you defending the shot with?

6. Are they coming off a screen?

So... many... variables...

[quote=Batum Shaka Laka;2044472458]I'm very calm, I apologize if I came off any other way? Just being VERY assertive after being dragged through the mud after 2k has dropped the ball on rosters (for the past three years) and now this patch. So any frustration that I 'may' have is completely justified, and was never directed at you personally.




If you never play blacktop or online then this does not affect us. I only play offline associations and against friends offline. The reason I do not play online is because of the cheezers. Even if they fixed the euro step 3 pointer the cheezer will find other ways.
