No 16:10 (1.7778)* Aspect Ratio. My monitor supports black bars to the sides for fullscreen resolutions (4:3 and 5:4) on my 1680x1050 LCD display, but it does not support black bars on the top and bottom of the screen. Would using a DVI cable instead of the VGA one I have now fix this, as in the Nvidia driver is supposed to do the black bar** drawing?
Players stumble over things too often, not that big a deal though.
Muffled and/or low quality audio files.*** This is my BIGGEST pet peeve about the game. I can't stand low audio quality. I'd rather have crappy graphics instead of audio.
Logitech Rumblepad config is not set until loading past the "Press Enter or Start Button" screen. It still beats 2K9's shotty controller config support, which wouldn't set until you forced the config again in the options or launched a quick game or demo to have them set.
I have never seen the NBA as a whole rated so low before. Seriously even players in the low 80's and high 70's ratings are rare to see in this game. However that can be fixed easily, but it's very time consuming.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? VINCE CARTER DOES NOT HAVE THE VINCE CARTER DUNK PACKAGE (Included with the game) ASSOCIATED WITH HIM? That's got to be some kind of ridiculous joke.
Clark Kellogg is still lame. I want Kenny's Pennies back. And, I don't care what day of the week it is, I want my starting line-ups announced over PA with a really loud and excited announcer like in 2K8 and below.
Not all of these are glitches, but hey it's something I feel should be addressed.

* This is also a way to represent a 16:10 ratio, perhaps somebody with knowledge in hex editing can search for this value in the binary. (hint, hint)
** Another name for the black bars is letterbox.
*** I can do some audio engineering to the voice samples to make them sound 'cleaner', like up-sampling an image file with a bicubic (not bilinear) filter to get a higher resolution plus some other techniques, but I don't know what file(s) to look into (though I have an idea of which file(s) it may be...) exactly nor do I have any clue what format the file(s) may be in, or if they are even just common formats with a proprietary archive file format.
