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.).

Not sure if this makes any sense but I use 2 gamertags. 1 on my 360 HDD that is connected to Xbox Live & the other tag is stored on my usb & is offline. Last night I downloaded the patch when I signed on to my xbox HDD gamertag & started up 2K. it downloaded the patch automatically.

Now my question is, since I downloaded the patch on my xbox HDD stored gamertag, does that apply to my usb stored gamertag also?

Sorry for the confusion. If anybody understands this, let me know.
 
# 542 stlpimpmonsta @ 11/29/12 06:27 PM
Yes it does as long you use the tag on the same 360.
 
# 543 giovanni07 @ 11/29/12 06:30 PM
They didn't solve freezing problem, it is really annoying. Ronnie2k and 2K twitter accounts never give an answer about this problem. I can't play online or MyCareer about a month.
 
# 544 colty @ 11/29/12 06:32 PM
Reach in fouls way way to frequently called

Anyway...I meant that passing to bigs UNDER THE BASKET/RIM was still too successful or overpowered. Not IN FRONT OF THE RIM. UNDER THE RIM. This is when you play on ball defense man to man. Not playing zone or off ball defense. I play straight man BTW. And online there is no contact when a player runs around and waits for a player to get under the basket to pass it right by my defender who's standing right there. Often times the ball goes right through the defensive player. And there is no contact when this happens. All that happens is players like dwight or gasol or even bosh will dunk it or lay it up without contact.

He was talking about contact layups. Totally different complaints.


Honestly man, I wasn't referring to your post in general I was speaking

He just asked me what I was laghing at, which I explained it was boilerbuzz's post who happened to quote you

I believe you though because that stuff has happened in the past... I don't play online, so not you, but alot of guys arent being honest in this thread

be rest assured someone at 2k saw your post though if anything somebody saw it

If you are having trouble making layups in traffic turn up the damn sliders...

I tired of reading post of people assuming everyone complaining has the ability to adjust sliders. You do realize in myplayer mode, Myteam, Online matches, you know the 3 most played modes, you can't change sliders.

MyCareer mode:

1) Play art now works for positions other than PG, but when the play requires you to set a pick for a teammate and you press 'B' the play is canceled. This happens every time, never fails.

2) Reaching fouls are called extremely often.

MyPlayer Blacktop mode:

1) Needs to be completely removed, hit up NBA Jams, they make unrealistic basketball games too.

With all of that its never going to be enough.

The problem with the scenario about the missing layups is, sometimes people do miss them... Derek Fisher as a guard used to do it all the time, Lamar Odom used to miss them alot.. so essentially you're just saying he should automatically make a layup without explaining the variables of whats going on

Then the next guy comes in and says they make too many layups because they're arent enough fouls.

..then you have people saying because of either A or B its not a sim depending on how they play

Its impossible to have a perfect game and impossible to please everyone. From a dev standpoint, look at that post boilerbuzz just posted and tell me that makes sense
I agree with what you're saying man.

PLEASE fix it so we can contest dunks, and Plese fix the Jordan leg sleeve.If you're gonna charge for VC this stuff should be correct. PLEASE fix LOADED REPLAYS they FREEZE after loading on PS3.
 
# 551 Sour Noob @ 11/29/12 07:01 PM
Good patch overall BUT I'm sick and tired of getting a foul called EVERY time I reach with the PICK POCKET skill and I maxed out my steals. It's not just me so before you say you have to "time" it (which I do I play very technical) it happens to ALL the people I speak to about this. PLEASE FIX THIS.

not sure if those are the top 3? regardless, i feel for you and anyone else that can't "modify" the gameplay and adjust things. however, for everyone else, some slides aren't that effective or are completely backwards which is frustrating.

What happened to earning VC in the game, did you guys remove it?


Seriously LD2K, we can't get any VC whatsoever. I don't earn jack when I play 12 min quarters MyCareer or Association. The coach mode thing doesn't work anymore. Nothing does.


Please change the standards. If I play 12 min quarters at least give me 1-2K VC. I know you guys won't do that because you sell 10K VC for x dollars. So no one would buy VC anymore.
 
# 556 Terrabad @ 11/29/12 07:51 PM
How come when I play a exhibition quick match/featured game it doesn't give me VC for playing the game? I find this not very logical, you should be able to earn VC for any game you play. No matter if its against the computer or a real player, online or offline.
 
# 557 Vni @ 11/29/12 08:13 PM
One thing they should of tweaked in my opinion is when a player is forcing is way into another player at some point he should loose the ball especially a player with an average or low ball handling. What you think about that?

Been saying that for years-More loose balls or players forced to pick up their dribble.

Or if that player is a Lebron James or Barkley type of strong player, the defender should be knocked on his rear resulting in an easy finish... perhaps strength of the player should factor into what happens.

Yeah or pick up their dribble, definately.

I play a dude that forces his way non stop into me... It's exhausting to defend really. He just never looses the ball doing that.
