260500, NBA 2K12 Complete Historic Team Rosters
Posted by Grand_Royal, Sat Aug-20-11 02:39 PM
No Barkley on the 76ers and no Suns 92-93 sucks. And I as much as I hated Reggie, it wold be nice to play with him, too. But the addition of all these other teams and full legends roster more than make up for those losses.

I would even play with some of those really old school teams for a change; they're pretty stacked. Can you say Oscar Robertson & Kareem vs. Jerry West & Wilt?

After looking at all the players they are going to have, the level got highere for me too but they better improve the servers and have the real bench players on the legend teams.

260561, I think they're available in all modes, except Ranked online matches
Posted by Grand_Royal, Sun Aug-21-11 11:01 PM
I tried the Knicks on 2K11 and they were an average team at best with the generic subs. It was like what's the point of playing those teams, if we have the exact same squad on the bench?
260578, yeah i didnt like the feel of that team...
Posted by My_SP1200_Broken_Again, Mon Aug-22-11 07:38 AM
....but again, we never got to play online with them ...i'd just turn fatigue off and run with the starting 5 if possible
260715, it's hard to rate that team, they scored very little, but played mad D
Posted by Grand_Royal, Wed Aug-24-11 07:11 PM
Ewing who was a top 50 player and HOFer was like a 90, I think and the second option was Starks who was like an 80, but they made it to the Finals. They are hard to rate on paper.

I played some of them with the fatigue off too, but sometimes u need a change of pace type of player off the bench tho'.
260562, with this lock out, can current NBA players likeness be in the game?
Posted by ne_atl, Sun Aug-21-11 11:11 PM
I thought this was the reason for using old heads.
260579, i think the NBPA and the NBA have a multi year deal...
Posted by My_SP1200_Broken_Again, Mon Aug-22-11 07:44 AM
...with the 2K folks ...the classic teams will be the only thing that brings in the huge sales of last years game

I wonder how they went about paying the retired players though?

Is there a retired players association, or is it player by player basis?

Why would Charles not get in on this? Is it just he wanted too much money?? Can 2K just make a generic editable to the real Chuck?

260585, I'm more bummed about Van Exel
Posted by Nodima, Mon Aug-22-11 09:58 AM
we all knew Charles wasn't going to be in the game

and that Philly team is still nice without him, although he started 60 games from the jump

But Van Exel was an all-star on those Lakers and more important to them than Kobe game by game.

They have the smallest roster with a really big omission. They could have done the '83 team with the same squads and no Barkley.
260630, RE: i think the NBPA and the NBA have a multi year deal...
Posted by nipsey, Mon Aug-22-11 09:48 PM
The Players' CBA with the league is unrelated to these types of deals. Unless they negotiate for them to terminate concurrently, which I doubt.

You have to negotiate with the players on an individual basis. That's why when 2K football tried that All Pro thing with the legends they only had like 20 or 30 legend players. It became too cost prohibitive to sign all those guys to contracts for the use of their likeness.

I believe EA got in trouble for trying that a few years ago, but I'm not sure. But who knows why Chuck said know. You know he could use the money to pay the casinos off.

http://www.pastapadre.com/2011/08/27/nba-2k12-achievements-reveal-new-features

The Xbox 360 achievements for NBA 2K12 have been uncovered and with that a few new – yet to be announced – features have actually emerged. Perusing the list finds achievements related to new features for My Player mode and potentially the introduction of an online-connected Association mode.

•Purchase 3,000 skill points in a single transaction in My Player mode.

•Purchase Michael Jordan’s dunk package (His Airness) in My Player mode.

•Land a contract that pays at least $10M per season in My Player mode.
My Player looks to have gotten some significant enhancements with the arrival of player contracts and a currency system to spend on skill points and skill packages.

•Create a My2K Account.
2K Sports recently pulled down their community website which also hosted the online leagues. My2K would presumably be the new community initiative that will be launched in time for the NBA 2K12′s release.

•Join an Online Association.
This could be the big one if it is a true online “Association” (multi-season w/ free agents, trades, contracts, NBA Draft) and not just re-branded online leagues.
260850, BUT...
Posted by LeroyBumpkin, Sun Aug-28-11 07:43 PM
...the more I think about it, the more I think no matter what it's going to be screwed up..ha ha.

I followed the Madden Online Franchise on these boards pretty close, and what was horrible was that you had to play with the full set of teams. I think there were like 10 guys (off and on) in the league, so you had some guys playing the CPU and others playing real people. If this is a true online association, 2K should allow leagues to have a custom number of owners without any CPU involvement.

I guess we'll sit back and see what they do. But the idea of multiple seasons with a draft, free agents and players retiring is tight.
260866, It would be cool if u could reduce the schedule, like the regular Assoc.
Posted by Grand_Royal, Mon Aug-29-11 12:45 PM
A 28 or 56 game season with an equal amount of teams in each conference could work, esp if u have alot of teams (16+)
260868, i really wish you could have a 2 team league...
Posted by My_SP1200_Broken_Again, Mon Aug-29-11 01:16 PM
...just because i want to keep track of head to head games between friends I play against frequently ...i think the minimum is 4 teams in a league though
260877, I was thinking a 10 team league.
Posted by LeroyBumpkin, Mon Aug-29-11 09:13 PM
That's large enough to make it fun, but small enough that you could always find an owner for the guy that might drop out.

Personally, I think it's going to be setup like the Madden online franchise where you have however many owners with half the league playing the CPU.
260875, you'll be back

261178, NBA 2K12 Hands On Preview (swipe)
Posted by LeroyBumpkin, Tue Sep-06-11 10:04 PM
http://www.operationsports.com/news/508158/nba-2k12-impressions-qa-from-hands-on-event-in-washington-dc/

I had the opportunity to spend 2 ˝ hrs with NBA 2K12 in downtown DC today and here are a few quick impressions.

First things first…the game reminds me a lot of NBA 2k11. I’m not saying that there are no significant differences between the two games but if anyone has any expectations that the game will be completely different than last years game, this isn’t the game for you. The good thing for me is I loved NBA 2K11 so I was very happy with the game I saw. FYI, the version of the game that I played is the retail version so what I saw is what will be released Oct. 4.

I watched two quick exhibition games before getting the chance to play (Miami/Dallas and Washington/Lakers). The first thing I noticed was the improved presentation. The stat overlays are improved (showing stats like the number of points Dirk had compared to the rest of his team) and multiple starting lineup screens (Some games show each team’s lineup individually and some show them on the same screen). I wasn’t able to get much of a feel for the game from watching the two games because one of the players was a newcomer when it came to 2K and struggled with the controls. Some small things I noticed was the new Washington Wizards court, redone faces for every player and head coach and that you can interact with the first row of the crowd (I noticed LeBron leap over the scoring table when going for a loose ball).

I finally got a chance to play the game and chose Oklahoma City vs. Boston. First, the pregame presentation looks incredible. Highlights of each team and its stars to music from Bad v. Evil (Eminem and Royce da 5’9) and its very similar to what you see before a game on TNT or ESPN. Regarding the actual gameplay, the best way to describe it is player movement feels heavier and there is a CLEAR difference between point guards and big men when it comes to speed. Using Westbrook I was able to push the tempo off of Boston misses and create fast break opportunities. Rondo was doing the same thing to me. There is a realistic downside to that as if you attempt to push the pace and the defender is able to get back, you will find yourself turning the ball over. In a weird way while momentum is definitely more of a factor this yr, this is perhaps the fastest (and most fast break heavy) basketball game I’ve played. Now before you freak out, this isn’t a bad thing. The fast breaks were realistic (plenty of 2 on 1 or 3 on 1 breaks) and were a result of turnovers or a team failing to get back.

Simply put the AI is much smarter and more realistic. I’ll give you two examples: One, I started the game killing Boston by running pick and rolls with Westbrook and Isos with Durant. By the middle of the first, Boston’s D started adjusting doubling Westbrook on pick and rolls and cheating with a second defender against KD. The defense against KD was great as you could see defenders like Allen sag off Sefolosha and help against KD but not fully commit to doubling him.

The second example comes in the second quarter. I wanted to test the AI by running the same play a few times and seeing if it adjusted. I ran a pick and pop with Maynor and Cook. The first time I ran the play, Cook set the pick and popped to the 3 point line. Both defenders stayed with Maynor and he hit Cook for a wide open 3. Next offensive possession, I ran the same play and Cook’s defender stayed with him. I ran it one more time and this time both defenders stayed with Maynor but a third defender rotated to Cook. That’s the kind of AI I love….same play three times and three different results. I also love the new playcalling. 2K explained how it works on the last Insight, but it adds a ton to the game.

Next I spent bout an hour playing My Player. I’ll be honest My Player isn’t my favorite mode and I rarely spend much time playing it but there are a good amount of improvements in this year’s version. The mode begins with you playing in a college all star game at Madison Square Garden. My biggest frustration with this mode in the past was I felt it sometimes penalized you for playing realistic basketball. For example, there were times when I would be penalized for taking a good shot just because I missed it. This year is different though. I probably shot 35% from the field but I rarely forced shots and was rewarded for playing good fundamental basketball.

The biggest change I saw was the addition of franchise interviews before the draft. Three GMs will meet with you and ask you a series of questions. The questions are team specific (Phoenix asked me how I felt about learning from Steve Nash and the Bucks asked me if I was OK with playing with Brandon Jennings) and depending on how you answer them determines your draft status (I told Phoenix that I would love playing with Nash and told the Bucks they should trade Jennings and draft me.). Next comes the draft and there is a little bit of drama to it. You have to watch the entire draft until your name is called (no skipping) and listen to David Stern (Stern’s real voice) call each name. Other additions include contract negotiations, players get paid a check each month and can use the money to purchase attributes or do activities to make them more popular (like pay for team activities).

The final mode I saw was the NBA’s greatest mode. I played the Bill Russell and Patrick Ewing games and they couldn’t be more different. The Russell game was slower paced and felt like a game from the 50’s. Plenty of set shots and animations similar to how players played during that time. Many of you have seen the presentation for this game (Black and white, grainy footage and 50’s style audio) and its very authentic. As much as I liked the Russell game, the Ewing game is what made me fall in love with the game. One, the presentation looks just like TNT’s presentation from the 90’s and the Garden is spot on with the correct court, constant organ sounds and even the chime after every Knicks basket.

A couple of takeaways from the Knicks game:

- Penny Hardaway is every bit of the unstoppable athlete that he was before injured.

- The Ewing/Starks combo is fun. Starks is a very streaky shooter though.

- Only AI mistake I saw was from the Magic. They ran 3 plays for Dennis Scott in the post. I don’t remember Scott being a post threat.

At the end of the day, I was very excited about this year’s game. It’s a continuation of last years game but it has enough improvements and additions to make it worth $60.

Here are some random thoughts:

- No rookies will be in the retail version but will be added by a roster update after the lockout is over. According to 2K, the transition will be seamless and the rookies’ names and references are already in the game.

- The announcing is once again incredible and Steve Kerr is a great addition. After listening to Madden’s horrible commentary, the commentary in 2k is a revelation.

- New replay angles to the Sprite Slam Cam

- The tip off music starts much earlier this year so that bug is fixed (only people who used custom music care about this)

So I'll answer a few questions about the game

If he has to dribble more than once, it's going off his leg and he will never get the ball back, even if he's the only one there. I'm not tryin' to run a break or crossover in traffic; I'm just trying to use my speed advantage over this slow ass backup center.

261462, NO ROOKIES! (c/o 2011)
Posted by Grand_Royal, Sun Sep-11-11 11:33 AM
http://www.pastapadre.com/2011/09/07/nba-2k12-will-not-include-rookies

Unlike the NFL Lockout, where EA Sports had rights to rookies for Madden NFL 12 regardless of whether there would be a season or not, the NBA lockout will cost its league licensed video game from introducing the incoming rookies. NBA 2K12 will not include any of the rookies drafted in June – as confirmed through a blog posting at Operation Sports from a long-time member who attended a PR event for the game yesterday.

The plan would be to add the rookies through a roster update – but that could only be done once the lockout is lifted and at this point that seems unlikely to happen anytime soon. In the meantime players like #1 pick Kyrie Irving, #2 pick Derrick Williams, Kemba Walker, Jimmer Fredette and all those chosen in the 2011 NBA Draft will be absent from NBA 2K12.

It’s an unfortunate situation and presents yet another reason why the company decided to put so much of their resources into the “legends” and historic teams. Those will transcend the current NBA – which now will not just be using rosters based on the end of last year but won’t even have the rookies to look forward to.
261464, i really dont care about the rookies this year

261465, me neither, but I'm sure a Cavs fan might not like it lol
Posted by Grand_Royal, Sun Sep-11-11 05:49 PM
Hopefully the lockout will end and they just update them.
261466, People w/o XBL wont like it.
Posted by LeroyBumpkin, Sun Sep-11-11 08:15 PM
I wasn't worried about the rookies cause I know they could be added with a roster update. It's those people without an XBL account that are in trouble. And not just for the roster updates, but the patches for glitches. I think if you buy sports games for this generation, you must be connected fully online.
261492, yeah even if there is no update, it may be available on the Roster share

None of the 34 teams unlockable in "NBA's Greatest" will be available for online multiplayer modes. There had been some confusion, even hope that they would, as earlier reports suggested that once a team is unlocked from "NBA's Greatest" it is available across all modes of play. 2K Sports just confirmed for me all the modes in which these teams can be used, and online multiplayer isn't one of them.
261685, did you guys actually think you would be able to use them online? lol

Posted by My_SP1200_Broken_Again, Sat Sep-17-11 06:09 PM
...minus the free agents and rookies ...fucking wack ...i never played the jordan "challenges" and i'll never play the "classic" teams ....really no need to even upgrade this year, but i'll have to anyway since everyone else will
261692, RE: so its basically 2k11 all over again for online play???
Posted by Grand_Royal, Sat Sep-17-11 08:21 PM
I actually played the Jordan challenges and I'll probably play these. The online servers seem buggy when the game first drops, so I play around in all the modes until they get that straight.

I'm not that concerned about the rosters because there wasn't much movement, if any since the season ended. I wouldn't mind seein' the rookies on there, but I didn't expect the rosters to be updated until the season begins anyway.
261693, heres the thing.. if they lockout for the season...
Posted by My_SP1200_Broken_Again, Sat Sep-17-11 09:02 PM
....then you're looking at basically playing the same game till 2k13 as far as online is concerned .. a lot of people only play the online, so its pretty much a slap in the face to everyone of us
261695, well yeah, no games then no updates, no way around that

@Ronnie2K: "For those asking about the Online use of Legends, stay tuned on that. There's a method to the madness."



....hmmm, so either there WILL be classic teams online, or 2k is coming up with some good excuses why they won't have it ...gotta wait and see i guess

261787, U really should if u can play your My Player online
Posted by Grand_Royal, Tue Sep-20-11 12:50 PM
Just attach it to the Greatest mode like the pick-up games is on My Player. That way u don't have to worry about quick or ranked games against the '01 Lakers or adding them to the online rosters.

I'd rather play with Penny online than my 64 rating PG. Especially when there will be dudes with 99 ranked players on the release date.
261499, i plan on putting most of those players in my My Player league

261593, 90s games have NBA on NBC feel...(swipe)
Posted by LeroyBumpkin, Wed Sep-14-11 04:28 PM
More hands on with My Player:

http://www.operationsports.com/news/510371/steve-noah-and-dustin-toms-are-hands-on-nba-2k12-via-twitter/
If you want the most current updates, just head over to Steve's and Dustin's Twitter pages.

Here's a stream of their thoughts thus far:

SteveOS - While we didn't get as much hands-on time as we wanted with #NBA2K12 the changes in gameplay are easily noticed. Help defense is HUGE!

DustinToms_OS - Crowd reaction in #NBA2K12 is improved. Fans in front row react to loose balls, corner treys, etc.

SteveOS - The #NBA2K12 intros are simply put, amazing work. EVERY one of them I saw was different. Not the same thing, didn't wanna skip any of em.

DustinToms_OS - #NBA2K12 Graphical overlays in Greatest mode keep true to the different eras. Had an old school NBA on NBC feeling.

DustinToms_OS - #NBA2K12 Legends use rules from the different eras. e.g. Lakers/Celts has no 3-point line.

SteveOS - #NBA2K12 player faces are much improved. They touched up some of them that were already good, as well. Good to see Granger got a facelift.

SteveOS - #NBA2K12 continued... Depending on player, there are different crossovers. Quicker guys have better handles, while the bigger guys are slow.

DustinToms_OS - @Bluengold34 Easily. I couldn't really believe how much it has improved over 2K11.

SteveOS - #NBA2K12 crossovers are more compact this year, just moves more cleaner. In fact, all animations are more crisp. Looks more realistic.

SteveOS - In limited time today with #NBA2K12 I don't want to play 2k11 anymore. Post game, help defense and no forced anims Q&A tomorrow, send
261665, I hope it has the John Tesh jam

261800, Game on TV is side to side, so I play side to side.
Posted by LeroyBumpkin, Tue Sep-20-11 09:48 PM
But when you think about it, most basketball games before 2K were left to right. Not sure how old you are but the first game to use the "2K view" was Run 'N Gun in the arcades. Everything else was side to side.

- Double Dribble
- Lakers vs. Celtics
- Bulls vs. Lakers
- Coach K
- NBA Hangtime
- NBA Jam
- NBA Live '95 (well...diagonal)

I wish we had online game back in 2002. My roommate and I would play against each other and flip a coin for the view we used. Now with online the user can play with any view they want.
261805, I hated that diagonal view of live 95, 96, 97....

261799, I'm impressed, it's different but the changes are for the better
Posted by Grand_Royal, Tue Sep-20-11 08:27 PM
I was worried becuz I like triggers for the post and Y for the gather/hopstep, but the post moves seem much easier. Changing shots works better and u don't do the same stupid moves when u get bumped; it just changes your shot to something that looks more natural.

And it's such a small thing but pushing the ball ahead of yourself on breaks is cool as hell.
261849, Yaaaassss. The movement is alot more natural and tighter
Posted by Poetic_Truth, Wed Sep-21-11 04:02 PM
the big men move faster. Your player walks up the court now instead of slightly bending over...dont know how i feel about that yet. overall it plays alot more smoother

and the big thing is u can actually move while tryna take a charge
261813, Will the lockout effect your decision to buy 2K12?
Posted by LeroyBumpkin, Wed Sep-21-11 09:49 AM
- same rosters from 2K11.
- will the my player / legend modes be enough?
261814, definitely
Posted by Messiah4976, Wed Sep-21-11 09:58 AM
but are you sure the rosters will be the same from 2K11?


i noticed on the demo that Rudy Fernandez was on the Mavs roster. He wasn't on thier roster during the finals was he?
261818, no rookies, no free agents...

Posted by LeroyBumpkin, Thu Sep-29-11 08:56 PM
from PastaPadre:

"The idea behind the advancement period is one that will work for some people and not others. It reduces flexibility in how a league will move forward – automatically simming any uncompleted games when the timer runs out. That may provide motivation for owners or it could lead others to quit when they are unable to get their game/s in on time and find them simmed.

While it will keep things moving along it also will prevent a league from speeding through more briskly. Better would have been an additional option for the commish to “delay” advancement or progress to the next stage early. The flex scheduling however is clearly beneficial in that it provides more opportunity to play games within the designated period especially if the league is user-heavy"

262238, No more selling the farm! TRADE LOGIC
Posted by Messiah4976, Thu Sep-29-11 09:41 PM
Trading & Unruly Players
The next tool we created to promote league fairness revolves around our trading system.  Whenever a user agrees to a trade with another team, the trade gets sent out to every single member of the league (as a notification).  As a member of the league, you have a right to review the trade for fairness.  If you like the deal and think it benefits both teams, no further interaction is required on your part.  On the other hand, if you feel like one team is greatly taking advantage of the other, you can choose to protest the trade.  When one or more users choose to protest a trade, it will then go to arbitration where a modified version of our in-game trade logic will evaluate the trade while looking at the needs for both teams.  If the server believes that the trade is acceptable, it will be processed in a future league update.  If the server agrees that the trade is unfair, it will be voided and sent back to the users involved where they can choose to re-work the deal or just abandon it altogether.  One note here regarding Human/CPU trading.  The CPU trade AI is extremely stringent in Online Associations.  For those of you whose intentions are to get to the top by winning deals with the CPU, you’ll need to find another strategy; they are tough in this mode!
 
I think we’ve all been in a league at one point or another where a certain member of the league was taking advantage of other players or was involved in collusion of some sort.  We are offering your league protection with the ability to nominate users for removal from the league.  In Public Associations, a vote can be requested to have a player kicked from an Association in which he/she has exhibited questionable behavior.  In Private Associations, the commissioner has the ability to remove a player from his/her league at any time.  We know you all take your online leagues seriously, so it was important for us to provide you with the tools you need to maintain these leagues over a period of multiple seasons.
262244, This was never a problem for us.

So with this revamped Online Association I KNOW you're back right? RIGHT!?

>But Lach was pretty crafty with some of his deals LOL

When people made deals with Lach, they never questioned it. In most cases they were giving up players they failed to learn. When those same people saw how he used those deals with other people, THEN they got mad. Like I've stated before, I had no problem with what Lach did. If he was able to get a superstar player for a mid tier one, congrats and props to him.

>So with this revamped Online Association I KNOW you're back
>right? RIGHT!?

Part of me is hoping we haven't seen the online association in previous games is because 2K has been working on it for years. That's what I'm hoping. I'm hoping that it's functional (not perfect), but functional. Past versions of the regular online season weren't even functional (playoffs not starting). Reading from this guy at 2K, he sounds passionate about online play. I too am pretty passionate. I will say these options are exciting, especially the offseason moves. Holding a draft and free agent signing online with people is definitely a highlight. It CAN be fun.

All I can say right now is that I'm getting the game.
262353, getting it is a GREAT sign

I have had the game on PS3 for a couple of days now and it is by far the best basketball ever made based on the A.I alone. The computer can and will beat the brakes off you in various ways with moves that will have you going to instant replay a couple of times. In the past I've spent most of my time with the 2k series playing mostly online matches and this is the first time I might enjoy playing the computer more than a human opponent.


Come Tuesday make sure you get a copy.

learn how to play the game and it won't be a problem. Korver (much like anyone else) can be stopped.

But I guess as long as Melo continues to knock down threes while triple teamed, you still may have a chance at winning a game or two.

i was destroying the Magic. Up 15 going into the 4th quarter. The Magic come out for the fourth, they literally dont miss, they start stealing everything and all of a sudden their defense becomes immaculate.

motherfuckers outscored me 24-7 in the fourth quarter.

yesterday i watch Jerry West go 11/12 on my boy in the 4th quarter.
262763, the Knicks/Magic was the easiest one to me
Posted by Grand_Royal, Wed Oct-05-11 04:59 PM
Ewing was unstoppable and the Knicks 3pt shooting is surprisingly good; Starks & Davis have some of the highest 3pt ratings in the game. They cut into the lead late but it was never close.

But I did lose against the Sonics late with the Bulls. I tried to get Pippen off, but that's probably why I lost.
262764, that shit was easy until the 4th.

Between Starks and Greg Anthony I made 14 three's. At first I was trying to build a lead but then I just had to see how many I was gonna keep draining. Easiest legend game for sure.

Oh and it's way too easy to steal with Payton. Just sit there and tap square til he takes the ball. Chances are you'll get the steal before they call the foul

it was some more I cant think of
262968, My thoughts so far
Posted by L_O_Quent, Fri Oct-07-11 02:39 PM
The movement of the game as greatly improved and the defense feels tighter but I haven't played enough to see if it actually is. Shooting has a touch it never had and you can pull off finding angles for your shot that you couldn't before. Passing and dribbling are significantly improved but the turnovers are worst than last year due to the slower speed of the game. I also don't like that players seem slower for catch up defense and the low post moves seem to ignore the size of the player leading to multiple blocks if you take a 2 or 3 down there and get stuck in the animation.

Compared to last year it is a better game out the box but some of these issues need to addressed before the lockout is over.

263030, as I stated...they made the passing atrocious. it reacts seconds
Posted by Poetic_Truth, Sat Oct-08-11 11:03 AM
late to ur inputs, which causes way too many turn overs. I guess it makes u be more cautious but its annoying. Or a big one is when I want to make a simple pass but the player decides to do this extra, over-the-top pass and it causes a turn over...and I figured they would fix when centers/pf's are acting as if they are running to the hole but decide not to and jump to the 3 point line and u get a turned over pass due to that.

all in all its a learning curve. it plays alot different than last years
263036, the passing sucks dick
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Sat Oct-08-11 01:23 PM

Well, I haven't done it. But that wack shit has happened to me 3 times. 2 by users and 1 by the cpu. All of them were about 3/4 court. This some bullshit

the blinking ring around the player on the shot release is screwing me up too.
Im used to watching how the player shoots and judging the release based off that.
Now they got me looking at that ring to see if I released it at the right time, and it's fuckin up how I shoot.

I see this game is gonna take a little more time getting used to...
263075, online is un playable till they fix the 3pt sliders...

Posted by Poetic_Truth, Mon Oct-10-11 02:55 PM
to pass it to ur teammate, he passes the ball off of the defender and causes a turnover...who in the NBA does that???? lol. and you cant split passes through the defense at all. or every pass that's caught, the person fumbles with it before they gain control smh......

for everything they fix, they make something else worse. lol
263102, they have a lot of work to do for the 1st patch...

i was hooked onto nba 2k11 and was looking fwd to 2k12, but the gameplay has taken a step backwards....3s way too easy, there's a controller delay on quick passes which results in horrible TOs, and its like your player is playing on ice when trying to defend, sliding everywhere

and online play...the whole setup takes way too long to get started and the lagging is unbearable.

Posted by Grand_Royal, Thu Oct-13-11 06:47 PM
I also did the Training Camp, some of those moves are hard to do even in an empty gym. I also hated that I had to go through everything before actually getting to passing. I actually made a bounce pass through the lane, but my problem is most of my passes are lobs.

I'm really shocked that the learning curve is so high for a game that people have played regularly. I think it's worth it to learn the moves tho', I can see how u have a lot more control.

oh and I have no clue about transition defense, I normally end of fouling, but it stops a break at least.
263212, More Online Association Problems (swipe)
Posted by LeroyBumpkin, Wed Oct-12-11 11:58 AM
I think 2K Sports is going to need at least two years to get this online association right. There's no need to even talk about starting another OKP Season until a majority of these issues are resolved. This paragraph sort of summed it up for me:

"Even if head-to-head games start working properly it seems unlikely that Online Association will prove worth the time and effort given the lack of commish options and frustrating unexplained nature of how progression through the schedule works. That’s a shame because bringing in the social element of participating with other users really drives a new level of interest that can’t be matched otherwise."

NBA 2K12 ONLINE IMPRESSIONS http://www.pastapadre.com/2011/10/11/nba-2k12-impressions-online-play

Quite possibly the biggest disappointment, as it held so much potential, comes with Online Association (find the comprehensive impressions here). Admin control is nearly non-existent and head-to-head games have had trouble connecting (and even if they do they’re plagued by the same problems found elsewhere online). If the server drops, which happens frequently, it’ll result in a sim of the game whether head-to-head or playing the CPU at the time with no option to reset results. The locked advancement periods are not only prohibitive to how users may want to progress but so confusing that no one has a clear picture of how it all actually works. Having removed the traditional online leagues has only created more complaints given that the structure of Online Association and lack of commish options simply won’t work for many.

NBA 2K12 ONLINE IMPRESSIONS
http://www.pastapadre.com/2011/10/07/nba-2k12-impressions-online-association

2K Sports has touted the addition of a compelling online component to Association mode in NBA 2K12 – making it easily the most anticipated new feature this year. Similar in nature to NCAA Football’s Online Dynasty mode, Online Association was designed to present all of the very same features found offline taking it beyond the concept of simple online leagues. While it still holds a great deal of potential a few design decisions have hampered the experience significantly and server issues thus far have rendered head-to-head games inoperable.

Online Association is going to hold the most appeal for those who won’t take things very seriously and/or don’t mind games simmed. Otherwise due to a lack of options and total confusion over progression it is certain to lead many to simply give up and quit.

Despite 2K’s claims there are a distinct lack of options within Online Association for commissioners – but that’ll be touched upon later. When setting them up the key things are mostly there. It’s important to get them right because they are not changeable after that point. Notably absent from Online Association is the ability to set the game style or adjust sliders – the lack of those things may be enough to turn some off from the mode right there.

There are three options to choose from for advancement periods: Slow (24 hours) – Normal (16 hours) – Fast (6 hours). Keep those numbers in mind because 2K12 doesn’t even explain what slow, normal, and fast mean when setting up an Online Association.

No one has a clear picture of how progression through the season will actually take place. The latest best interpretation of what this all amounts to is that the countdown clock runs for one “day” of the association. Slow would mean each day in the association goes essentially in “real-time” while the others speed through faster – the quickest then running through four days of the season each 24 hours. If the “game” for each “day” isn’t played then it is automatically simmed.

I guess that’s the case anyway. 2K has done a terrible job of communicating how advancement periods work. Really they haven’t explained it at all and left people to try and determine that on the fly. If I can’t figure it out most out there aren’t going to have any clue of what is going on. That is about as bad as things could be for a new feature as curiosity will lead to frustration and ultimately lack of participation. If 2K comes back with a report that no one used Online Association it’ll be obvious why that was the case and they’ll only have themselves to blame.

The other big flaw in forcing certain pacing is that there is no option for the commish to either delay, or speed through, the pre-set advancement periods. It can be understood why the current set up could have been thought beneficial for public leagues where a commish might disappear for who knows how long – but in private leagues there should be a level of control that sadly is absent here.

Once inside the Online Association all those initial settings are locked down. The commissioner basically has the power only to grant admin status or boot someone else. There is no way to reset the results of a game or sim to a certain result. That is devastating considering the state of 2K’s online performance.

It all starts up with just the commish and 29 CPU controlled teams. Users can come in and take over teams – however the commish can not actually invite people. Users will have to manually join by knowing the league name/ID and password. There can be any mix of CPU/User controlled teams. As soon as the Association is created a timer begins counting down to the start of the season. That is a wait that can’t be skipped either – and it seems designed to allow for others to join in and settle their teams before the season begins.

Despite all the confusion over how the Association advances one smart move was to allow a block of games to be played at any given time. In a lengthy season it would be difficult to expect a number of head-to-head games to be completed in order so this gives an opportunity to fit them in within a period of time. When it comes to H2H games there is even a nice feature to attempt and schedule a game in though I don’t understand why its possible to do so for months ahead. Common sense would have been adding the ability to see what users were online or offline but that isn’t the case which will make it more difficult to get in head-to-head games along the way.

This leads me to another confusing aspect of advancement – how does anyone know where they are at or what the stakes are at any given moment? There is no indication of what exactly is coming down to the wire, be it games on the schedule or a trade deadline. It’s no wonder that people are looking at a schedule with several games listed as open and thinking the countdown clock represents that all of them will be simmed when it strikes zero.

At this point though none of it really matters. Head-to-head games do not even connect leaving only the games against CPU teams playable. The mode is completely broken as long as H2H doesn’t work so certainly a fix should be expected soon – in fact it’s possible by the time you’re reading this that it will have been addressed. Even when games begin to run there are going to be the same lag and disconnect issues plaguing basic online play however. There have also been difficulties when setting up Associations or trying to log in with “can’t connect to server” messages the culprit. That has been more intermittent as of late though rather than something happening often.

The menus are somewhat difficult to get a grasp on – with the main Online Association central upon logging in and then the right stick bringing up all the basic Association features or NBA.com home. It’s just not a user-friendly way of navigating through everything. One cool element of the Online Association home is the display of the in-progress game scores.

There are no team scrimmages which is a disappointment and there is no ability to bring in different roster sets or the historic teams. There is also no way to set head-to-head games to be played offline. Injuries are reflected based on length of season and seem to work properly. In an 82 game season a 4 game injury would keep someone out for that length of time. In a 14 game season though a 4 game injury would not keep that player out a single game.

Trades can be offered to the CPU but there will be a period of time for them to “consider” it. It is unknown when, or if, trades will go through as I have yet to see any come to fruition. Free agents can also be offered contracts but again there is an unstated period of time before they make a decision. There also have been no CPU-CPU trades, and considering how many take place in offline Association due to poor trade logic, that may be a sign that it either hasn’t been implemented in Online Association or it just hasn’t been come upon yet.

The website (NBA2K.com) which is supposed to house many features as an extension to Online Association inexplicably has yet to launch. That may be a proper representation of the state that Online Association is in right now. The mode has a great deal of promise but it’s simply not ready. An admirable effort in that the idea was to take the full offline Association online but poor planning has done it in. More images related to Online Association can be found here.

Even if head-to-head games start working properly it seems unlikely that Online Association will prove worth the time and effort given the lack of commish options and frustrating unexplained nature of how progression through the schedule works. That’s a shame because bringing in the social element of participating with other users really drives a new level of interest that can’t be matched otherwise.

Posted by Poetic_Truth, Tue Oct-18-11 11:25 PM
alot of the fuck ups they put in this game....the passing is HORRIBLE...like how cant they get that simple ish together after all these iterations? when I want a quick precise pass I want it then and there, not 3 seconds later giving the defender time to steal the ball. The fast-break dribble animation your player does when he pushes the ball ahead of him is stupid and useless if your player is just going to bounce the ball off of his own teammate every time and lose the ball...I understand wait for the right moment to do it but it should be player/ai smarts to NOT do that if he's close to his own teammate. I just got so many gripes with this game. even when I win its still BS

Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Wed Oct-26-11 12:41 AM
like...if you go full bore from the start they'll do the push dribble, but if you gradually accelerate they wont do the push dribble.

i dont bother doing it online since the 2K online is laggy as fuck. but offline its so useful. you can do some really cool shit with it once you master being able to control the direction and break out of traffic into some open space.

2K Sports Announces NBA® 2K12 Legends Showcase: New Downloadable Basketball Experience

Unique add-on content includes hours of additional gameplay features and modes


2K Sports today announced the upcoming release of “Legends Showcase,” a downloadable add-on for NBA® 2K12, the latest installment in the top-selling and top-rated NBA video game simulation franchise*.

263827, I'm not mad at this
Posted by nipsey, Sat Oct-22-11 10:13 AM
IMO, the game is chock full of modes with the Classic Games mode and unlocking classic teams. Plus the My Player feature. I have no problem with them adding the other modes and legend players as DLC. I don't think this is a cash grab on their part.

NBA 2K12 Legend's Showcase DLC Details

11:26 AM - October 20, 2011 by MMChrisS

The NBA’s Greatest is about to take it to the streets in Times Square.

2K Sports has finally announced the known Legend’s Showcase DLC, which consists of five new game modes: HORSE, Two-on-Two Teammate Challenge, Three-on-Three Era Challenge, 21 and Pick-Up. You will also be able to take the NBA’s Greatest teams into online quick play. Another key point that was mentioned, was the roster sharing between current and classic teams, allowing you to place legends on current teams and take them into Association. However, unlike what most gamers were hoping, Crew is not part of the content.

“One of the biggest things I want to stress about the DLC project is that we’ve been working on it since the early stages of 2K12’s development, so we aren’t just trying to throw something together to charge people money,” said Ben Bishop, 2K Sports producer. “As the game finished up, the 2K12 team sent us the final version to help us put the finishing touches on the DLC.”

One thing Bishop really wanted to let gamers know was that his team really wanted the DLC to stand apart from the retail version. The DLC’s graphics have a cel-shaded look to them, giving gamers a whole new 2K experience.

In HORSE, you can re create **** battles just as MJ and Bird battled it out for a Big Mac in the old ’93 commercial. The shots you can take range from a simple dunk or jump shot, to trick shots, like standing on top of a building or interacting with your surroundings.

The Two-on-Two Teammate Challenge is similar to the old school NBA JAM ladder system. There are 15 duos that you will take on in the challenge. Starting from top to bottom, you must find a way to topple each and every team. Teams include the obvious of Jordan/Pippen and Bird/McHale, but even branch into the less popular tandems of Payton/Kemp, Mullen/Hardaway and Mourning/Johnson.

The big prize for completing the ladder is the ability to take any of the players on the NBA Greatest rosters into the Creating A Legend mode.

“One of our big focuses in the content was to incorporate the legends,” said Bishop. “We wanted to find another way to feature them in ways we haven’t done before. The NBA’s Greatest is focused on who is the best team of all time, but the Legends Showcase gives you the opportunity to find out who is the best player of all time.”

The Three-on-Three Era Challenge allows you to take the best threesomes from each era and pit them against each other. You’ll be facing teams like the Celtics form the 60s, the Lakers from the 80s and the Bulls from the 90s. Once this mode is complete, you will be able to combine any current and classic players onto a team and form ultimate domination.

Pick-Up is the mode that gives you the most freedom. From anything to a one-on-one match up to a full on five-on-five scrimmage, Pick-Up will let you create the most random rosters from a pool of over 300 players, half current and half classic.

Included in the classic roster will be players that aren’t even in the retail game. You’ll see the likes of Kevin Johnson, Bob Pettit, George Mikan and Rick Barry to name a few. The list of new legends will slowly be revealed between now and the unannounced release date. Also to be noted is that players in the Legend’s Showcase DLC will be re created to be at the peak of their careers. For example, Bill Walton appears in NBA’s Greatest as his career is dwindling down on the 1985-’86 Celtics, but in the DLC he will appear on the ’78 Blazers. Current players like Jason Kidd, Tim Duncan and Grant Hill will also be re rated so you can use them at the peak of their careers. Disappointingly, though, the jerseys and players that are added to the DLC will not be available anywhere in the retail game.

Last, but most definitely not least, you will have the ability to take your My Player into Pick-Up, HORSE and 21.

“If you haven’t built up you’re My Player, it’s going be tough,” said Bishop. You can’t beat MJ, Bird or Magic one-on-one if you’re rated 85.”

All in all it sounds like the DLC, with the $10 price tag, will be a solid addition to NBA 2K12.

“This is something we’ve wanted to do from the get-go,” said Bishop. “We saw how 2K12 was taking shape and wanted to extend it even further. We knew there was a lot more we could do with the legends, so we went with this. It definitely stands as its own product.”

he can turn and cut on a dime.

you try to stop and cut and your player has to go through a whole nother animation, which is cool.

but why don't he do that too?

Posted by Ish, Mon Oct-31-11 12:59 PM
but when rotating on defense, my team always leaves a player wide the fuck open. When I'm running the fast break, the player with the ball do some stupid dribble the ball forward type move and the ball with either get stolen or go out of bounds. How am I going to do fast breaks when I keep loosing the ball? The 3 pt shooting is crazy but I can deal with that. The defensive rotations are the worst, pgs loosing the ball during fast breaks is 2nd.
264359, i gave up on my 0-10 season until there's a patch
Posted by L_O_Quent, Sat Oct-29-11 12:49 AM
have my my player going and that's much more dealwitable than having Ben Wallace chillout at the 3 point line every play no matter what defense I set for him.

getting your back blown out by and average of 30 points isn't fun at all.
264368, Please elaborate
Posted by LeroyBumpkin, Sat Oct-29-11 08:16 AM
2K12 was supposed to be my replacement for College Hoops 2K8 and I'm hesitant to pull the trigger. Are your gripes with the regular offline season? I understand online being broke, but hearing that My Player and the association needs patching is a problem for me. I've been reading that the trade logic AI in association is horrible. Even worse in My Player. Plus the 3pt shooting is off the charts (slider?).

So please elaborate on your gripes with 2K12.
264371, 3 point shooting is really ridiculous
Posted by ne_atl, Sat Oct-29-11 11:15 AM
In my player mode; the opposing team could shoot maybe 7 or 8 3pointers but the problem is they rarely miss. It works both ways though because my team rarely misses too. If only I can get them to take the wide open shot and not pass it off.

I was beating up on the Bulls one game until 4th QTR. D Rose lit me up for 4 straight 3 pointers and Deng had 2. I turned my xbox off with 2 minutes left. I was close to breaking my controller (again).
264373, Yea offline season is horrid
Posted by L_O_Quent, Sat Oct-29-11 12:10 PM
For starters the passing is atrocious and teams regularly steal against me well into double digits. The defensive switching will drive you insane because (like the video below showed) they leave cats wide the fuck open).

3s are a piece of shit....
264384, RE: Yea offline season is horrid
Posted by CanUooooFeeLiT, Sat Oct-29-11 05:32 PM
I'm playing two offline association seasons, one with Showtime Lakers and the other with Mahmoud and the Nuggs.

I turn down the CPU steals and they stop getting all those magical steals. Adjust the sliders to your liking. The game is great once I did that. The passing still isn't up to par but turning down the steals made the game much better.

Magic finally isn't turning over the ball all the time on the fastbreak!!!!!
264403, I was about to ask this.
Posted by LeroyBumpkin, Sun Oct-30-11 02:22 AM
Essentially, is it just a slider adjustment issue? Cause I can deal w/ that.

The other thing I've read about is the horrid trade logic from the computer.

Are they doing some dumb trades? And not just with you, but with each other?
264419, yep, there are already great slider sets out there
Posted by Nodima, Sun Oct-30-11 03:47 PM
I had one myself that took about 5 minutes to make, but then I had to wipe all my 2K saves because of a random glitch and went and downloaded some real popular ones on 2Kshare and they work even better.

Coupled with some (heavily) edited rosters from dedicated OS users this game is gold. I never had a problem with the Legends games anyway but regular players definitely don't play so regular.

Offline is different, if you're not smart somebody's gonna kill you from 3. I was playing a fantasty association game and this kid had no chance against me except for the fact Paul Pierce went 8/13 from 3 (something like 7/7 before I said fuck it and started playing SF on defense all game) so I only ended up winning by 4.

And you know he felt incentivized to take the hardest jumper to make in basketball because I shot something like 7/15 from three and he was 17/33.

my XBL handle is WittyBanter86. add a dude for some elbows from KG


264372, I run with the Hawks
Posted by ne_atl, Sat Oct-29-11 11:26 AM
and I refuse to play anyone who runs with the Celtics. Ray Allen is lights out behind the 3 point line. Then add in Paul Pierce.... naw can't do it.
264404, Hawks, Thunder & Wiz mainly. sometimes Heat or Knicks
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Sun Oct-30-11 02:29 AM
for a shitty team the Wiz are pretty good in 2K. john wall is an animal in this shit.

i'm good on playing online right now though. that shit need patches.
264414, Knicks and Celtics mainly, but they get picked a lot so I need other teams
Posted by Grand_Royal, Sun Oct-30-11 12:55 PM
I only stick with the Knicks because they are my team, they aren't good on the road and have no defense.

I got the Celts becuz EVERYONE plays with the Heat and I need a team that will play well on both ends.

I used to play with the Blazers & Hornets, but I haven't played well with them this year. Bucks are my sleeper team.
264429, i roll with the Warriors on occasion tho.
Posted by EyE C, Sun Oct-30-11 09:25 PM
if somebody tries runnin wit the Heat... i go to be the same team lol. they either pick someone else or quit. it works. fuck playin the Heat.


and fuck that gather move - jumpshot w/ Kobe from three. i done threw my controller too many times cuz bammas exploit the settings
264468, I like the Blazers but Brandon Roy's jumper is not as polished
Posted by Ish, Mon Oct-31-11 01:02 PM
as last year. I roll with the Celts cause that's the home team but for the life of me, I stay bricking fadeawys with KG and I have slow release on Allen's jumper. At least this year, Pierce lifts his feet off the ground...lol.

It's the same shoe from 2K11, but with the NikeID portion, you can control where the colors go, better. And, you can choose the perk you want to attach to it.
264376, I got mine after the all star break
Posted by Messiah4976, Sat Oct-29-11 01:41 PM
Thing I don't like is you can't change the color pattern once you save them. Or maybe I don't know how. I want a home and away pair
264378, Yeah, I'm in like, late March or early April.
Posted by JFrost1117, Sat Oct-29-11 02:29 PM
I play for the Pacers, so their color scheme doesn't really do much for multiple colorways. I'll probably do as I always do and get traded to the Bulls, so the shoe won't be an issue until that point.
265432, Something I read said
Posted by JFrost1117, Sun Nov-13-11 08:08 PM
You'd get another Jordan letter around when you hit 85-90 overall rating, and be able to edit your shoe.

Some fag on YouTube says you can edit any shoe to have whatever attributes you want, but he didn't put the video up. He's just trolling for subscribers.
264406, GOOD READ: 2K Sports Finally Addresses The Online Struggles of NBA 2K12 (swipe)
Posted by LeroyBumpkin, Sun Oct-30-11 03:01 AM
Solid article. Honestly after reading this, it's not the fault of 2K Sports, EA or any other gaming company that makes sports titles. When you have 12 months to put out a title, it's not going to come out perfect. That's why we get minor upgrades, and on release day half the game needs to get patched.

http://kotaku.com/5854423/nba-2k12-works-overtime-on-a-problem-with-roots-in-the-dreamcast

NBA 2K12 Works Overtime on a Problem with Roots in the Dreamcast

Within five seconds of introducing himself to YouTube as MrPurple0, the guy is off on a nonstop, highly personal tirade condemning 2K Sports and NBA 2K12. Were it transcribed, it is hard to imagine a period between any of the sentences.

"The servers are garbage, the servers are trash," he says, frustrated by day-of-release problems disconnecting thousands of ranked basketball games in the first quarter. "You're not doing nothing, you're sitting in that little room and you're counting your bread, and it's not fair to the people that paid their hard earned money."

2K Sports titles have been known to have online glitches and connection issues on the day of release, including in NBA 2K, the label's flagship product and one of the most acclaimed sports series in history. Despite even better review scores this year than for last year's transcendental hit, NBA 2K's diehard community turned on the game and those who made it—hard—excoriating both in forums, YouTube videos and over Twitter. They've accused 2K Sports of going cheap on its online features and support, holding back on both to save money in a lockout year that's expected to damage sales.

Not true, says the man ultimately responsible for building the game. If anything, he insists, they spent more on online development this year than ever before.
"Every line of code for our online game was rewritten this year," said Jeff Thomas, the director of development at Visual Concepts, the 2K in-house studio that makes NBA 2K. "It was a huge undertaking by our top team here, and we put our top team on it because we knew we had to get results."

They didn't, to put it bluntly. For some players, it was impossible to find a match; for others, many connections were terminated just as the game had barely begun. If it was a ranked match, someone was saddled with the loss for quitting. Features from the previous version of the game were not included in this year's, further enraging the community. Rumors of paid downloadable content with a heavy online component turned into another set of moneygrubbing allegations.

The explanation for all of this is within that old codebase, Thomas said. And that old codebase goes back all the way to the days of the Dreamcast.

264502, The Greatest Teams Home Arenas, A Little Dissapointing
Posted by CanUooooFeeLiT, Mon Oct-31-11 07:34 PM
2K nailed the Fabulous/Great Western Forum for the Lakers. I love playing games there. It lookes so real.

They nailed Madison Square for both 72 & 95 Knicks too. The 72 Knicks don't have the modern tech that the building would have for the 95 & 12 Knicks. 2nd best building to play in.

Chicago Stadium seems up to snuff BUT they dissappointed me with having Suites for the rest of the 80s/90s teams whose Arena's had NO suites.

The Boston Garden never had Suites. Why do the 86 Celtics Boston Garden have suites? They could of gave them the same generic old 60s/70s Arena they gave the 60s Celtics. Would been dope if they had the Ghost of Celtic Pride walking the Celtic's Pride Banner across the stadium. And the train going around the Garden outside. CBS used to show that a lot.

Here's a breakdown of each Greatest Teams Arenas'

1964-65 Celtics: generic old 60s/70s Arena; Does have the Banners hanging

1964-65 Lakers: generic old Arena 60s/70s Arena

1970-71 Bucks: generic old Arena 60s/70s Arena

1970-71 Lakers: Fabulous Forum

1970-71 Hawks: generic old Arena 60s/70s Arena

1971-72 Lakers: Fabulous Fourm

1971-72 Knicks: Madison Square Garden

1976-77 76ers: generic arena with Suites(come on B!!!)

1984-85 76ers: generic arena with Suites

1984-85 Bucks: generic arena with Suites

1985-86 Celtics: generic arena with Suites, Does have the Banners hanging.

1985-86 Hawks: generic arena with Suites

1985-86 Bulls: Chicago Stadium

1986-87 Lakers: Fabulous Forum

1988-89 Pistons: Palace

1988-89 Bulls: Chicago Stadium

1989-90 Cavs: Same stadium as Chicago Stadium

1990-91 Lakers: Great Western Forum

1990-91 Trail Blazers: generic arena with Suites

1990-91 Bulls: Chicago Stadium

1990-91 Warriors: generic arena with Suites

1992-93 Bulls: Chicago Stadium

1992-93 Hornets: generic arena with Suites

1993-94 Rockets: generic arena with Suites

1993-94 Nuggets: generic arena with Suites

1994-95 Knicks: Madison Square Garden

1994-95 Magic: Old Magic Building(Thank U!!!!)

1995-96 Bulls: United Center

1995-96 Sonics: generic arena with Suites

1997-98 Jazz: Same Arena as 2012 Jazz

1997-98 Lakers: Great Western Forum

1997-98 Spurs: generic arena with Suites, BUT does have the Blue Curtin/Wall with the Retired Jerseys & gay azz Division Banners.

1997-98 United Center

2001-02 Kings: Same Arena as the 2012 Kings

I understand some these Arenas no longer exsist BUT at least try to make the Arena look realistic to the time the team is playin in.
264728, GAMEPLAY PATCH (1.03) HAS BEEN RELEASED
Posted by My_SP1200_Broken_Again, Fri Nov-04-11 10:57 AM
Right now just PS3. (The XBOX360 patch is coming soon).

Here are the official patch notes:

GAMEPLAY

- On-dribbler steal success rates have been tuned down.
- Tuned accuracy of directional passing in order to more reliably pass to the intended target.
-Improved help defense, specifically for rotations on pick-and-roll situations.
-Defensive tuning on 3PT shots to reduce the success of contested threes.
-Addressed an issue on drives to the basket where the help defender wouldn’t fully engage in the double team

ONLINE

-Several matchmaking optimizations have been made in order to help users get into games quicker. This will reduce the amount of time the “Searching For Opponent…” screen is displayed for.
-Addressed a number of network errors that would cause games to end prematurely.
-Addressed an issue in Team-Up where certain conditions would lead to a player standing idle for prolonged periods of time.
-Corrected a Win/Loss streak tracking issue such that the “Back to Back to Back” achievement/trophy will now unlock at the proper time.

265546, Guys, I'm passing on 2K this year.
Posted by LeroyBumpkin, Tue Nov-15-11 12:46 PM
For those that had me as friends on XBL, if y'all saw me online 9 times out of 10 I'd be playing College Hoops 2K8 playing my legacy (It's like 2028 right now..ha ha). I've been looking for a basketball simulation replacement for that game for about two years cause I'm just NOW starting to get kinda bored with it. I was really hoping 2K12 would be it after passing on award winning 2K11.

Well, with the problems 2K has been having coupled with the NBA lockout, I think I'll be waiting another year. Besides, I plan on copping a PS3 this holiday, so I'll get my game fix with Uncharted 2 & 3.

Personally, I think the system around sports videogames needs to get reworked from the ground up. Year after year these companies are overselling and not delivering. Just today the 2K website is working. Two patches have been released, and the game still has issues (ie. My Player). I don't think these companies have enough time to put out all the features they're selling. While it won't happen, I'd rather them release a new game engine every other year with roster updates in between. I think that system would allow 2K more time to make sure everything is ready (online servers, etc) at launch, and not 3 months later.

Next year y'all, next year.

I dunno what they could patch/program about the MyPlayer system that would make teams not sign so many PG's (I've only ever played as a PG). In late game situations, there's like, 4 PG's on the court at once, and one short PF as the C.

I ended up losing a game last night because of the shit lineup of me, Monta Ellis, Baron Davis, Devon Harris, and that dude Yi that normally plays for the Nets. The Heat had their fuckin OG starting 5, and we lost a 12-point lead.
265642, these fucks have Aaron Brooks

as my backup PG who moves me over to SG and he doesn't pass for shit! I wish there was a way to force trades because he'd be the fuck out of there.

Oh they traded Nash AND Grant Hill for Ed Davis and Amir Johnson....

dude..
265695, it seems like there's something in the actual game
Posted by GameFace, Thu Nov-17-11 09:08 PM
that causes the pc to build stock piles of players at 1 position.

best practice is before you run a franchise to go through all the star players and add no trade clauses to and lengthen their contracts (along the same type of pay rate as well).

might take a minute to do that, so turn autosave off to speed it up a lil bit.

to add some sort of realism leave some of the younger players who haven't been with their teams long or who are on bad teams open for trades and so on.
265739, can't do that in My Player though...

Posted by JFrost1117, Fri Nov-18-11 01:29 PM
The way he's saying, do it from the Rosters menu from the main menu after the K Blow song. Those edits carry into MP. I do it to edit shoes.
265745, got cha!

There's an achievement for beating Jordan with your MyPlayer, but I'm gonna have to put some work in for that shit.

266275, yeah wtf is up with that?
Posted by Grand_Royal, Wed Nov-30-11 12:04 PM
playin the teams online is the only reason I wanted the dlc. I beat the 2 vs 2 mode because I thought it unlocked more modes, but it's just more players to play bullshyt like h-o-r-s-e.
266276, seems like 2k is just out to piss people off this year...

They're 1-6.

I noticed the dudes threatening to retire resigned for 1 & 2 year contracts, and the dudes from my team begging for trades resigned and got me 2mil over the cap.
266341, CLASSIC ONLINE is fun... but not with friends?!?!?!

Posted by Nodima, Wed Dec-14-11 04:15 AM
it's a shame Kemba is stranded on a nothing team because he's got MOVES

need to be more PS3 users on here so we could do a fantasy association

the new patch made this game a lot more fun to play, too

Not sure if the new roster downloaded cause none of the rookies are in the game.

Played 3 games with my Bulls against the Pacers (just like the preseason game), Knicks & Warriors. I had to remind myself I wasn't playing College Hoops 2K8, a game that's 5 years old. Plus it's been 2 years since I'd played an NBA 2K game since I skipped 2K11. The game itself looks amazing. Love how the players move and their interactions with each other.

I'm still kinda new on the controls and how to call plays. Just trying to call up a pick n roll has been challenging. Most of my points have been in the paint (and y'all know how I feel about THAT). I've been trying to shoot some jumpers, or at least drive and kick with Rose. I hate getting in the paint with Boozer to only have him do a bunch of dance moves. Gotta work on that post game.
266983, i still dont have a fucking clue how to call a PnR.
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Sat Dec-17-11 03:22 PM
all i know is that it stats with LB.

after that it's like calculus to me.

just hold it down until the post player starts to come over for the pick.

270959, Online has gotten a lot better in the past few months
Posted by Nodima, Wed Apr-18-12 04:50 AM
it feels like regular 2K basketball at this point


honestly, a lot of the hype about good user defense feels actualized


the problem is, playing the computer is still no fun at all. AT. ALL. and my first 2K love was always Association ball.
270985, i just hate when the game decides to get "random"
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Wed Apr-18-12 09:26 PM
like, when im seeing and making perfect plays but the game makes dumb shit happen to balance it out.

i notice it the most after i've gone on a quick spurt then i start missing shots where there's no one w/in 10 feet of me.
also when you get them snatch steals.
270993, can you play classic teams online with friends yet???

271109, the problem with leagues is CPU will hit 70% on 3s on All Star
Posted by Nodima, Thu Apr-26-12 09:04 AM
and are real chumps on Pro. there's no middle ground to be found. they're no fun to play at all either way. I did about 5 leagues on PS3 and playing the CPU was either a cakewalk game between user games (which I preferred) or one of the most frustrating experiences of my life (which some other people preferred, because at least they were challenged).


I've played at Superstar level in 2K for years but this year I'm All-Star offline and Pro online.

Posted by JAESCOTT777, Fri Apr-27-12 08:11 AM
It's almost impossible to play d
And did they do away with the online jumpshot timing feedback?

the offline difficulty is really wild
On all star or higher the CPU pretty much never misses
Shit is super frustrating
