NBA 2k11 PC Patch Released - Impressions

[Tupik]

Damn, now that's a great patch, seems like they fixed everything. Here's to hoping the PC patch comes out soon.

[DVocShoeBox]

I don't feel excited for some reason, maybe once I install it, I would. But when messing with 2k, I always feel like I'm doing a deal with the devil, mentioning some of the good stuff but then allow you to notice the bad stuff on your own!

Ok, I know I'm still crying but I hope the PC gets updated graphics. It sucks not to have XBox Live when I get home......smh!

"Edit the players name in the draft"

That just means multiple teams draft "New Name" instead of "Old Name".

It's odd that nobody comments on this problem. It's a big deal, folks, when you look at the draft summary to see something like:

Cavs "John Smith"
Pacers "John Smith"
Clippers "John Smith"

etc. etc., then find the Cavs signed John Smith while all the other teams that drafted him sign nobody, basically lost their pick.

fuck I'm popular

I see it, but maybe making their ratings low would help...

Love the fixes, but I'll need to adjusdt my sliders as the patch changes the gameplay a bit. Feels like 2K10 right now.

[Patr1ck]

Hmm, i hope the patch doesn't break the gameplay because I just found my slider sweet spot for a realistic-fun-challenging experience. I hate when a company overcompensates in their patch, doing a full 180 on an issue and just creating a new one.

NBA Live 10 comes to mind.

Frst I would like to just say that my current facebook status reads, 'NBA 2k11 Patch is awesome! The greatest sports game of all time just got BETTER!' And it is true, this patch just created a near-perfect game. Here's the things I love about it and why:

"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" ( Now I can play MyPlayer instead of it freezing after a game, looking forward to playing this game mode I have been waiting since release day!)

"Long socks should no longer appear visually corrupted during gameplay." - (Annoys the absolute S**T outta me!)


"Dunks will now branch into mid-air collisions, resulting in contact layups and changes in shot" - (This is fantastic, you can notice a massive change!)


"Added high trajectory shots when the shot is taken along the baseline. This will reduce/eliminate baseline shots that just hit off the side of the backboard" - (I think we can all agree that we have been waiting YEARS for this to change )


"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" - (I really enjoy playing with this and now that it is fixed I can't wait to play with it tonight!)


"The commentators will now tell Coach ‘stories’ during gameplay. These stories tie-in with the Player/Team stories for an increased presentation experience" - (this is a nice little touch, I played against Charlotte this morning and they were talking about Larry Brown and all the teams he has coached)


"Addressed a hang that would sometimes occur when completing a game during the NBA time period." - (As mentioned, this was preventing me from playing MyPlayer, now I am back in my Magic team and playing as 6th man happily with no freezing issues )



Overall I am very impressed with the patch that has just polished off what will be remembered as one of the greatest sports games ever. I don't care what Elite comes up with next year, they are gone and will remain gone for good. 2K puts so much attention to details in their games and they give the people what they want (I.E this patch), Elite just won't be able to produce a game up to this standard. The patch works great and you can feel the difference, I love it!

When the patch will be release for PC ??? Nobody play on PC ??

[karlopb]

[karlsanada10]

I want to know when the PC one will come out.

As mentioned a few posts back, there's no set date as yet but the post on the official Facebook page indicated it is likely to be out within the next couple of weeks.

lol, there's a thread on OS about something like that. Where the author stated that too many people would complain that the game is too hard instead of going through the proper learning curve, and the resulting fix will make 2K11 play like 2K10 just to appease the wishes of the whiners.

[Patr1ck]

It looks like the changes were quite realistic, though. Collisions added to the pro hop and spin dunk exploits should make the game harden. While no more blind defections or interceptions should make the game a bit more fun when passing. Improved shot stick timing should hopefully make 3 point shooting more consistent. I'm surprised not many people complained about off ball player movement especially when your teammate is being denied on the perimeter and lead passing does not work well with those 2-man deny animations.

I really wish they would fix the damn headless players during replays.

i never had the my player freeze until I installed the patch

[Dual]

A little question for the users that have the patch: ¿Is the portraits thing fixed? (i mean, no portraits during game and in some other places for created players).
Thx in advance.

[Axel The Great]

i never had the my player freeze until I installed the patch

Did you start a new MP post patch and it froze? Or was it a pre-patch MP that froze? If it's the latter, the patch doesn't affect pre-patch MP/Association files, so I'm pretty sure it's not the patch.

I hope it won't take as long as 2k10's... I afraid that we must wait until January at least

[Uncle Drew]

Did they fix the issue of when a team calls a timeout, as soon as that team comes out of it, the other team calls a timeout right behind them? Irks the crap outta me. Also when subbing players in and out manually, the CPU nevers puts my subs in when I request them.

Any chance you can post those? I'm having slider troubles.

They've already mentioned early December, so here's hoping.

Yep, but the last time they said it would take only a few weeks too... let's see what happen (I hope it doesn't take much longer )

[Lamrock]

Okay, here's an odd glitch I just encountered that may or may not be new due to the patch. I decided to play a sim association (with 29 game seasons), and I launched season #2, and for some reason, my team played 42 (compared to 29 for everyone else). Anybody else experience this odd glitch?
