NBA 2K10 Patch Discussion

[fear777]

the patch is out already.. did anyone DL it yet?

What are you talking about?There's no patch available for pc yet.Only PS3/X360.Only change i saw from yesterday is that game automatically connects online on startup screen even though i didn't enable auto-login.Also servers now seem more stable and fast.Strange.

Just got the PS3 patch now that it's finally been put up and let me say that it makes a huge improvement over the game I purchased a month ago. This is how the game should have released. Gameplay against CPU is fun!!! CPU players will penetrate & kick. Your teammates seem to react better at both ends. Controls are more responsive. I think I might finally start an Association

Im also very pleased with the PS3 patch. This game is so realistic right now. Its not only looking realistic, it plays like it.

I fully agree. I wasn't expecting anything major but I'm surprised the difference one patch can make. Must mean the game was solid to start with but not tuned correctly.

Couldn't have said it better. I'm not sure what exactly they changed but it did make a huge difference. Boy was I happy and surprised when I put 2k in for the first time in two weeks to see this update. Way more balanced on both sides of the floor. Now all that's left is to fix a few of the smaller issues like not inbounding the ball, not being given the ball for a freethrow and those spinning lights staying on during gameplay and I've got a reason to take CoD MW2 out of my PS3 more often.

when will be the patch for pc come out. its been a long time.

[el badman]

A month after writing 2K and requesting a fix for the lack of 16:10 support, I finally got an answer saying that it should be part of the upcoming patch, but they still can't guarantee it at this time...
I still haven't played a single game entirely yet, waiting for that to be fixed first.

[JaoSming]

why dont you change it to a 16:9 resolution and then enable the letterboxing borders in your video card settings instead of scaling everything to your monitor?

[el badman]

Well, I was hoping such a simple but obvious bug would be fixed right away, but I guess I'll have to do that if they don't come up with that patch soon...

[MadbaLL]

is anyone here in good releantionship with ronnie or anyone else from 2k sports? just to ask about pc patch, since we had regular news updates from ronnie regarding xbox and ps3 patches, but there is nothing about pc patch, not a single word except "there will be a patch"... so please ask him, any news would be much appreciated.

[The X]

To the PC players, you paid $20 or so for the game whereas console players paid $60 for the game so it's not hard to imagine where VC's priorities lie. It's likely they didn't start the PC patch until the 360/PS3 ones were completed, which means it's probably still at least another week or two away.

Someone at 2k sports forum sent a email for him yesterday and he said:

"hey whats up ron i was just wondering on the status of the pc patch any updated news or a release date yet i searched the forums but only found this... shortly after the console version's
thanks for you time Ron and keep up the good work.

Dupree"

"Hi Dupree,

It’s still under development. I am sure they want to incorporate the changes on the console and get some of the outstanding things in there as well.
Ronnie"

It's under development, but the guy didn't asked that, so they are probably working slowly or just didn't started yet, 'cause if you don't say when it will be released or the patch details, like happened to consoles version, it's not being made... They said for consoles: "the patch will be released in two weeks" and BANG, you have a patch in two weeks!!! Let's just wait till christmas.

Tell that to us PS3 owners. Ours took about four weeks

Patch Update

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Guys,
Like I have said countless times in the other subforum, a patch is coming for the PC. I imagine they want to combine everything for the console (pretty simple port) and the outstanding issues as they isolate those. Don't worry, it's coming.

The online issues you guys are having are much like the console versions in the early days so I imagine they'll be straightened out a little like the consoles were after the patch.

although, we also want to know what's up with the online play? it has been 2 weeks and more since it started having problems like getting constant 'The lobby cannot be joined at this time' messages when entering a league, no people at the online lobby when it says 1000+ players online, and locating ranked matches does not work.

In simple words, we haven't play any online game for the last 2 weeks and some days. And that coincidentally (or not) happened when the xbox 360 patch came out. So i was wondering if 2K Sports intended to make NBA 2k10 PC's server to work improperly in order to get better online play for xbox 360 users. But that's just an assumption.

Please respond about this issue, as thousands of your PC-user customers are counting on that. And as much as possible, we want it somehow fix. We were able to live with the online play regardless of the disconnections during online games.

Thanks.

It needs to be rebooted like the consoles originally. It will be better after the patch.

thanks for posting the updates

[burnshroom]

Well that sucked.

Announced a 1.2 version patch for 360 and PS3 and that the PC Patch would include both --

Said likely release of PS3 patch and 360 Patch is January sometime. So that means no likely PC Patch until AFTER that...

[BrotherJRB]

I don't understand why the delay the PC patch. Just put it up....anyway. I guess I wait some more.

[Jack Nguyen]

No... no men... devs DO are aware from a long time ago about situation... couse we told them (Ron included) here in forums...
Just have a look.... there are dozens of themes of the same issue: Online features not working in PC...

Do not try to start the count for the patch at this point.. the starting day was at least 3 weeks ago... So don´t look for cheap way of retarding even more the patch release date....

Please.. Do activate online features NOW!
(Leagues, Crews, Singles matches.... and so on..)

This issue should be fixed on today's reboot. Let me know if it isn't.

I haven't been able to get online can someone confirm if the lobbies are working properly now after the reboot???

[darenot2]

No the lobbies arent working and sadly for most neither is the game. Ive been looking at a lot of youtube videos from people with 360's and ps3's and they have been showing no honest change after the patch they have recieved witch literally makes me ill. Their online has shabbily been thrown together sometimes but its often still not working, and all the issuses we have with the game, crashing, no paint defense, lack of fouls in the game and many others are still happening to them. They did fix the my player clone but...I kinda need more fixes that that. Some people complain that the patch has added a lot of new problems for them, Alot of people are moving over to live10. Sadly I cant cause I dont buy consoles so this is my only gateway to basketball unless I go back to 2k9 which honestly was a better game overall when it came to glitches.

[m103432]

When I buy a game, I expect it to work properly and if it isn't there should be fixes made as soon as possible, by the developers not by the enthusiasts. So, I believe that there should be some level of responsibility that the devs should be held accountable to. Of course, we aren't in some country where I could bring justice upon them by the use of force and thus, I am wondering if there are any courts or something like that where the devs could be held responsible/accountable for a crappy product or if not win the case at least notify potential future buyers to not make a mistake of buying an unfinished product. Anyone knows what can we, the people do about stuff like this?

There sadly is no justice action that can be taken, but what people can actually start doing is not buying these games with so many problems, or 3-4 hours of gameplay and them charging you 60 dollars for it. A time back when games where good, they actually cared about what they put out because if it was crap people wouldnt buy it...Sadly peoples standards have dropped so low that almost every game that comes out needs a patch or some kind of fix and theres never any end to it because the developers dont care, its all about the money. So honestly when I hear about people pirating games and whatnot my repsonse is make better games and many more people will buy them, of course theres always going to be pirates but you will get that much more customers by making a really good game out the box.

[Lamrock]

So the patch didn't get rid of the clone in my My Player file. 2K really sucks this year. Its bad enough that the gameplay has taken a turn for the arcade, but their big game mode is busted.

[JaoSming]

isnt that part of the reason why they are doing a 2nd patch?
