General Game Features
-Fixed a soft hang that would occur when loading an in-game save that was created during a timeout situation. This change also affects in-game saves created in the various game modes (Association, My Player, etc.). It addresses the My Player freeze issue that some of you have run into: http://www.2ksports.com/forums/showthread.php?t=272363.
-Fixed a hang on startup (when the game went to load files) that would happen when the user had a large number of saved files on the hard drive/storage device.
-The Cleveland Cavaliers court floor has been updated to reflect the design being used for the 2010-11 season.
-The ‘My Rookie of the Year’, ‘One for All’, and ‘Not Over Yet’ Achievements/Trophies should now properly unlock once the necessary conditions are met.
-Long socks should no longer appear visually corrupted during gameplay.
-Correct player signatures are now shown on Pressbooks that are uploaded to the 2K Sports server.
-The ‘Player Progression’ menu (Located in Features -> Living Rosters) should now properly work when new Living Roster updates are applied. Please delete the ‘Player Progression’ save file after the patch is released so the system can bring the file up-to-date.
Gameplay
-Improved Shot Stick shot release timing and consistency across offline and online games.
-Fixed a rare hang that would occur when intentionally fouling the inbounder.
-Dunks will now branch into mid-air collisions, resulting in contact layups and changes in shots.
-Big men with low vertical ratings will now jump the appropriate height when rebounding and contesting shots.

-The ballhandler will no longer pick up his dribble when a ‘take charge’ attempt fails.
-Users are now able to execute the Crossover move when using the ‘Alternate A’ controller configuration.

-Queued pass/shot commands are now deleted when a fumbled catch occurs.
-Improvements have been made to the directional passing system with the end result being more accurate pass targeting.
-Tuned under-basket shots such that big players are no longer overpowered by smaller defenders, thus forcing a bad shot.

-Queuing a fake pass command when catching the ball will no longer result in a touch pass.
-Missed and inaccurate passes will now play at an appropriate rate when passing out of a shot or contact shot.
-Long range passes have been re-tuned to fix a gameplay exploit. Also, improved defender reactions on such passes so that they are properly contested.

-Improved AI logic for boxing out, ensuring that players go into boxout situations when appropriate.
-Players boxing out their opponent should no longer be called for Over the Back fouls.

-Fixed an issue with player swapping during rolling inbounds; users will no longer be stuck controlling a player with the inability to switch players.
-AI defenders will no longer closely guard bad shooters far from the hoop when not necessary.
-Improved AI steal behavior and tuned the overall steal frequency/difficulty; defenders should now only attempt steals when they are actually looking at the ball.
-On the ‘Casual’ game style only, defenders are now slightly slower to react on passes, thus limiting the number of pass deflections.
Presentation
-Fixed a long hang that would sometimes occur at the end of the highlight reel between quarters.
-When an Arena Music event is triggered, it will now randomly select one of the available songs instead of always playing the first song in the list.

Association Mode

-Injured players will no longer lose their Player Role due to an injury, which ultimately led to may unhappy players around the league.
-Fixed an issue that caused a decrease in trading activity in future years. This same issue also resulted in valued free agents not signing during the free agency time period of the offseason.

-Participating in Intra-Squad Scrimmages will no longer disable Intentional Fouls during regular NBA games.
-Addressed an issue where trade values would drop to 1-star when a Weekly Practice was scheduled.

-Players who have the ‘Prospect’ player role are now much more forgiving of their role, meaning they will no longer become upset when they are in the role until they have reached a high rating.
-Addressed a number of other smaller issues within the mode (better CPU logic when accepting/declining Team Options, undrafted rookies should no longer sign larger than expected contracts, etc.).
My Player
