@maxp2k10pcCHAMP No new news on NBA PC Patch. Notes are going to be similar console version plus a couple things.

This is getting really frustrating

Just be thankful they care about their customers enough to make a patch or even release a game. Especially since the Pc platform version of 2K11 has lower sales than any other platform, including the ps2 and Wii versions.

That is assuming that vgchartz.com has accurate numbers. I think its pretty accurate. When I bought the game at midnight, they said they had to go to another store to pick up copies of the pc version since two people were buying it and they only had one copy. ONE copy of the pc version on release date at a gamestop.

I wonder what the "plus a few things" is going to be for the patch. Hopefully we'll see it soon enough.

he mentioned the crappy benchmarking stuff will be fixed for online (so high settings can be used online)
hopefully they add art for the missing alternate jerseys (ORL, NOH, MIN)
the fix for online coaching that consoles didnt get

that's all i can think of right now

What other DD's can you buy the game from other than Steam though?

Direct 2 Drive is the only other one I know of

oops, Gamestop has it available for download too

Cool I guess it will be released within 2 weeks or so then.

From 2k forums:

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us, and for your interest in OnLive. We currently have no information about adding any patches to NBA 2K11 in the OnLive Marketplace, but for more information about this or any other upcoming titles please keep an eye on our website and our blog for updates. You may want to also ask 2K Sports about the availability of their patch.

Is 2k shafting us?

I dont understand why we need to sync up with Onlive, they have a different server.....

I think it's about time to start pressuring 2K to just release the damn patch.
Those holding up release are bound to catch the heat and conform shortly.

Yeh man, I'm kinda getting sick of waiting.

edit: Oh just saw, that sb posted this some posts earlier^^

With the pc patch coming in the next few days (hours?) and considering the release notes are almost the same as the consoles' one, I wanted to know what "Addressed an issue where Potential values weren’t being properly updated in the player progression system." means.

The "Potential" attribute was not updating as players progressed. I am guessing that as a player gets older and better, then their "potential" attribute should decrease, and it wasn't(being properly updated). People have been complaining about their associations becoming over run with high 90/80 rated players, and it might have something to do with that.

@yann14fr Waiting on TryMedia and one more DD before #NBA2K11 PC Patch release. Hope it's soon.

He also noted:

@kevinyang77 Big DD's have to get back to us. The small ones, we just go ahead and release.

small ones?

Thanks Andrew! I just bought a new recliner for 2k playing. I can't wait until the patch!

small ones?

The digital distributors without as big a market share.

I've noticed that it increases on young players but never decreases on old ones. I like your "guess" but doesn't any console user actually "know" what it alters? I'm asking because so far I had to decrease every player's potential before starting an association.

So will be the patch released within this week?

maybe .

Ronnie2k in his twitter 20 minutes ago:

"Got a small bit of #NBA2K11 news slated for tomorrow afternoon."



... maybe PC Patch???

That is assuming that vgchartz.com has accurate numbers.

2k9 and 2k10 for PC - 0.00m sales I guess that's pretty inaccurate. Yes, i'm thankful for even releasing the game on PC, but the sales will not go up with that kind of support towards the computer users (late patches, broken online) Just my 2 cents.

@Dual I doubt it.

It better be the PC patch release date. I think it will be the alternate jersey codes though.

I think it will be the alternate jersey codes though.

this. and I want to remind you guys that even if the codes work on the PC version this year, the iff files arent in the PC game for those alternate jerseys.
