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.).

Where has the 3pt success been fixed? Crawford and freaking Butler hit any 3 anytime they want it's messed up

It will hit off the CPU's face or body and of course my player goes into that I got shot in the back animation for a turnover. Rarely happens to the CPU though.

Can we get another patch that will fix all the glitches, freezing, passing, blocks (dunks also) non contact fouls please?

Madden, CoD, NCAA, etc.. does 3-5 updates to fix issues, can we get at least one more?
I'm sure we will get another patch man. But PLEASSEEE don't give EA that much credit as 2k and COD for fixing issues. EA is the type that you would call and say " Hey I have a leaky roof(Safety Glitch, among other issues), and there is water all over my wood floor." And all they would do is come in a put a bucket to catch the water from dripping on the floor. And MAYBE when it stops raining, they will paint over the water damaged spot on the ceiling(Uniform Store). But DONT expect them to go up and re-patch the roof, along with gutting everything that is molded and rotted. This is EA's remedy to fixing things, and I am yet to see 2k, cod, or any other major games (developers) takes this approach.

I don't play EA sports games at all , I was just referring to how many patches they put out. 2K normally only puts out one (maybe two) patch that fix gameplay or issues. 2K has already put out two patches yet those problems still didn't fix the problems.

The past few year EA has put out multiple patches and I only read or heard about them when I come to Operation Sports.

Is it just me or are other guys also getting no VC anymore for quickgames?
 
# 645 TheManofSteel3kO @ 12/02/12 12:49 PM
I believe since the patch there has been a CPU/User imbalance of gameplay sliders. In the favor of the CPU in offline modes such as Association, Quick Play, etc. But those modes can be fixed via slider adjustments. However, MyCareer can't until another patch is released.

I'm saying everything the CPU can do and is taking advantage of (i.e fouls), I should be able to do and take advantage of as well. And vice versa. The imbalance has to be fixed. The setting the patch has brought upon us is only good for user vs user games (i.e Online games, etc).

Other than fouls and only issue I have now is constantly get run down on fast breaks, not blocked just caught and had my shot modified. ... Last time I looked no one has caught D Rose on the break.
 
# 647 ST24 @ 12/02/12 04:05 PM
How do you download this patch? Or does it download by itself?
 
# 648 JAEViBE @ 12/02/12 04:41 PM
On 360 it will just down load it self.
 
# 649 The Lob Mob @ 12/02/12 05:11 PM
Ok, I'm on the road so I have not played.... so I must know: in the shoe creator... can I put the REAL Adidas stripes on my shoes now? I talking about being able to put the layers where ever I want & still save the shoe!

This update was complete bs. It fixed none of the problems I was having if anything it gave me some of the problems they claimed to fix i.e., the problem where the social media does show or update I never had that problem before. The pick pocket perk is completely useless because the update made the fouls happen all the time when it was fine the way it was. I can't defend anybody because now they just blow past me even in intense D with Dwight Howard defending. The all star glitch is still there as well as the auto sim. I dont get VC after playing a exhibition matches anymore. When playing the three point shootout my NBA player still freezes until I move the right stick around like an idiot until it realizes that "OH YOU WANT TO SHOOT" then he dibbles and shoots. I cant sign a new contract in my player because my game freezes after I accept one. This game is the worst in terms of bugs. Next time they need to either fix all the bugs or don't release the game until later. I would rather play a NBA game 2 days before the opening game then a month and have all these bugs. Please post this message everywhere you can think of so 2k can see and possible fix these bugs.

Are you sure? I just played a game where the replays still weren't showing, kept showing the middle of the court for the Sprite replays.

Has 2K ever explained as to why certain rosters don't work on 2KShare?
 
# 654 drspringroll @ 12/02/12 07:45 PM
Liking the patch so far. The Offensive Rebound issue is almost gone which is definitely a good thing. But there are a few other problems I realize after the patch:

1. It seems that 2K changed the shot timing on several players and myplayer.
2. The play vision and camera setting won't be saved so I have to change it every game.
3. The play is cancelled or reset after setting a pick in myCareer game.

If you don't share that post at least 10 times, bad things will happen to you.

I was asking if the patch just downloads itself because I didn't get any popup or something asking to download it. You said it downloads itself but for me I still have replays shown incorrectly.

Does anyone have any solution to why my game is stuck at the contract signing screen, everytime I try to sign with a team, it takes me back to the contract signing screen
 
# 659 Bosh412 @ 12/02/12 08:46 PM
They fine tuned the reach-in to much. I can't get a single steal. Even on big men, and I have 99 steal, ever single thing is a reach-in. Happens in MyCareer and The Association.
 
# 660 EverythingSucks @ 12/02/12 08:56 PM
Mycareer still freezes when I win the finals!!!
