NBA 2K12 PC Patch Out Now

[mike879]

as i said earlier... told you so... "a matter of days" could be 7 days or 14 days or 120 days or 365 days?

hahaha.

[diamenz]

14 days ago Ronnie tweeted that the PC patch would release in "a matter of days".

ah, right. plus now that mlb 2k12 is their focus, we'll prob end up getting it on the 4th of october. oh wait a minute... :rolleyes:

[Patr1ck]

Completely different development team for mlb and nba.

[Leftos]

Anyone willing to ask the 2K support guys again? I can't be bothered, really, but I'd love to hear the excuse this time.

[JaoSming]

already sent one back out. Last time they just told me to keep an eye on the Facebook and Ronnie's twitter.

[Skysect]

I don't want to say any word to the 2K guys but this is too hard :SSSSSSSSS

[fjccommish]

"already sent one back out. Last time they just told me to keep an eye on the Facebook and Ronnie's twitter."

So you can read inaccurate info?

[JaoSming]

So I can follow the appropriate, lone, community manager for the company. They told me the same exact thing Ronnie said, that it was rejected and look for it that next week. Something else probably happened, or like last year, it is in the DD's hands and they are waiting to sync up a date or something.

With all the MLB 2K12 hype on his twitter, I'd be surprised if he mentions 2K12 PC again until the patch actually comes out. A patch that is just going to disappoint anyway.

Yeah 2k sometimes really disappoints us as PC users...

on a more positive note, MLB 2k12 looks pretty promising... the way they have implemented "memory" into the game is really pretty neat i.e. if you throw a changeup (for example) that gets smacked out of the park, that batter-pitcher matchup changes the next time you face the hitter.

I think all the hype is to see if the MLB 2k franchise is still worth continuing... and I really hope they do...

PC patch got rejected by one of the DD's unfortunately. And can't release it until that's resolved so we're resubmitting shortly

Seriously, all I can do is laugh. They're pathetic. They don't deserve any of our support anymore.

[bowdown]

they can lick my stinky shithole

[JaoSming]

I feel the need to remind you guys what is actually going to be in this patch


ONLINE

Fixed an issue that would cause large-user Team-Up games to hang at halftime if all users watched the halftime show in-full.
Addressed an issue that would lead to a disconnect in subsequent games when one or more users modified their playbook for the current game.
A number of Association: Online optimizations were made to greatly minimize disconnects.
Additionally, general optimization improvements were made in order to improve the overall online experience.

GENERAL

The ‘Back to Back to Back’ and ‘My All-Star’ trophies/achievements should now unlock under the proper conditions.
Previously unlocked NBA’s Greatest games and ‘Gift with Purchase’ Kings/Warriors teams will now remain unlocked after playing and exiting the Association/My Player game modes.
Fixed an issue where the roster would become corrupt when attempting to enter the ‘Legends Showcase’ with unsaved roster changes.
Fixed a rare issue that would cause the game to hang when attempting to skip the pre-game presentation in Season and Playoff modes.
Corrected an issue where players could become duplicated after editing a Created Team.
“PIPPEN” dunk package has been updated so that it can be re-assigned to Pippen when switched off of him.
Addressed issue where Created Players are assigned Cold Zones for all shot locations. This change applies for all generated players in Association/My Player modes as well.
The Adidas Zig Pro Future and ZigEncore shoes should now have the correct shoe image associated with them.

GAMEPLAY

Increased the velocity of lob passes into the post so they are less vulnerable to tips and steals.
Reduced steal success when the defender attempts a steal from behind the ballhandler.
Tuned player lunges on steal attempts such that they don’t cover an unrealistic amount of ground.
Tuned AI passes from the wing down into the post. The AI is now smarter during this situation, specifically where the perimeter defender is sagging off the ballhandler in anticipation of this pass.
Corrected an issue where during online gameplay, a shot ball would ‘re-launch’ even after it had been blocked.
Tuned AI playcalling during late-game situations so that they initiate plays faster.
Fixed an issue where the CPU ballhandler would take too long to pass (or in some cases, not pass the ball at all) when running a play in My Player.
Addressed an issue where the user would inadvertently commit an intentional foul with a defender when attempting to contest a shot with his hands up.
Tuned animation selection that would cause a player to lose forward momentum when attempting a Swat Block.
Addressed a specific case where attempting a pass fake would cause the pass to be thrown.
8-second violations will no longer be called when the ball is poked loose and enters the backcourt.
Training Camp: Triple Threat drill score requirements lowered in order to make it a little easier to complete the drill.
Legends Showcase: Fixed a hang that would occur when the AI would recover a loose ball by diving for the ball and then sitting idle with it.
Legends Showcase: Addressed a case where players who did not meet the requirements were able to throw a flashy pass.

MY PLAYER

Corrected an issue where the game would hang after winning the NBA Finals in My Player mode.
Trading logic has been greatly improved in this mode. In particular, your team’s GM will no longer overhaul the roster once you join the team.
Your team’s GM will now do a better job of acquiring one of your recommended players when he comes to you asking for potential trade targets. Be careful what you ask for!
Fixed an issue where both teams in a game would be using the wrong playbooks on occasion.
A few select season-long milestones (e.g. Shoot 85% or better from the free throw line) should now properly unlock when the prerequisite conditions are met.
The camera should now properly follow the action in your Signature Shoe Commercial.

THE ASSOCIATION

A number of trade logic improvements have been made for this experience (these apply to Association: Online as well).
Addressed the CPU lineup building / player role allocation such that players no longer become unnecessarily upset with the direction of their respective teams.
New coaching staff is now generated when you get many years into the mode. This will result in sufficiently skilled coaches available to be hired.

That isn't a whole lot to get excited over. Yes it would be nice to see better trade logic in the longer modes, but IMO the gameplay refinements aren't really worth all this fuss. I'm assuming that this is another 2K11 situation, where we are delayed for no real good reason. If they go all 2K10 on us, and fix shit like the run speed issue and the other bugs in the game, then yea, I'd want that too, but they probably wont fix that issue, or give us the official textures for missing uniforms, or fix the PC online.

[RedPhazon8]

I don't see anything about shot awareness or match-up awareness... and it's like Dwight Howard keeps coming out of no where and rejecting the patch into the 5th row of seats... I guess the only thing I like in the patch is the trade logic fix...

[fjccommish]

This is proof the DD business model fails.

The concept behind DD is supposedly quicker game availability, and cheaper games.

It's not cheaper in the long run because people who buy the DD version can't sell it used when they finish playing it.

DD's are delaying the patch not only for their customers, but for people who purchased box versions. DD is so slow it even delays non DD versions.

BTW, the standings bug has been in the game for at least two years. Some teams are 22-19 midway through a 29 game association season. The standings and playoff seeds are completely destroyed because of that. A team that is actually 10-14 is 5th seed in the playoff race because its record shows as 22-19. Why can't they fix that?

[JaoSming]

yes, you terribly made this argument last year iirc.

[Relaxay]

The Team Stats bug have they said anything new about a possible fix?

This is really killing my motivation to go ahead in my season-/ association savegames. My team averages about 50 assists togehter with 90 turnovers. Can't be to hard to figure out how the stats ar corrupted.
If the do not get this fixed with the patch (which is something I don't believe they'll do), 2k13 will be the first NBA game I haven't bought since 2k9.

I'm also a bit disappointed because the patch is delayed once more. Seems like 2ksports is trying to convince me to buy NBA Live next season...

Strange that the DD's never delay patches like this for anyone but VC...

Not even other 2K titles run into this problem, just the ones developed by VC...so odd...

[Skysect]

I bought NBA 2K10 , NBA 2K11 , NBA 2K12 and time came for me stop to buy 2K games no more ...

[carmelo]

Why are you so mean? NBA2k12 is the best sport video game and the best simulation video game. I know, we want more and more always. I see some thing that I would like to be better like cpu transition alley-oop but adjusting sliders you will have good games (it depends how well you play the game)

[Leftos]

We're not talking just about gameplay issues that can be fixed with sliders. We're talking about things that can't be fixed with sliders.

Freezes & Crashes (1st & 3rd quarter, win the finals, etc.)
Team Stats bug (incorrect Team Stats in any career mode, incorrect records in years 2 and later)
Trade Logic
"Speed Doesn't Matter" Issue
and many others.

I mean sure, the game has nice gameplay. But what good is that to me if I can't enjoy it over time? I'm an Association guy, I had reached Year 3 with 2K11, and now in 2K12, even if I do get past the 1st year, I have to endure stats like 90APG, 85RPG etc. showing up, and also teams with 120-75 records which ruin the standings and playoff and draft seeds. What good is that? Why should I put my money again on a game like that? I don't buy games that last me 10 hours, I buy games like 2K12 in which I put over 200 hours of gameplay. But if I have no incentive to keep playing, for example bringing my team back from the gutter and excelling in the Association, why put my money into that?

I'd spent much more ours in association/ season mode if just the stats were correct...

[Leftos]

We don't need a patch to fix things! We have 2K screwing things up even worse! They've just released the PS3 Online Data Update for us PC users, so the Pistons and Raptors as well as the All-Star floor are now corrupted, along with all updated shoes! Yay!

viewtopic.php?p=1486243#p1486243

[Radioman]

So we finally have an "update".

[Leftos]

Well, yeah. Something actually happened. I was getting bored! At least now it's exciting! I mean, will we be able to play NBA 2K12 properly in the next week? Will it be a matter of days before we can play again?
