If different people are getting different percentages, then the issue is user tendency, not necessarily a universal game flaw.

Not at all a big write up but I can't hide the fact that IF I play NBA 2k9 it has to be without this patch now...

Fastbreaks have been definitely fixed. Firstly, the guys run with you on wings, secondly you can throw 3/4 court passes for a striking player - all in one smooth animation.

I played one game with it and really liked the substitution menu changes.

I don't know about you guys, but I definitely noticed a change in FG%. I had my close scoring at 30 and had been shooting 49-53% on average and I just shot 43% and all my bigs couldn't get the ball in the bucket to save their life.

I can not wait to try this game myself with the patch because there's too great of a contrast of what people are saying. Plus, I play 12 minute quarters, and haven't messed with any of the sliders to began with. So if there's a difference in the gameplay, the final score, or anything else, I will be able to tell the difference.

I agree Born with your "user tendency" theory, accept that it was not me scoring all the points in the paint, etc. it was the computer AI......I have played the 2K series since it first came out and NEVER have I seen more of a "get the ball into the lane for the closest shot possible" than what I do from the computer AI (there is NOTHING you can truly do about it, especially after the patch) I just wish I had not downloaded the patch and could've kept the game the way I had it. The best playing game the way it was??, no.......but at least I was having fun while playing with the sliders and the game was competitive and somewhat sim....not now..

I'm not getting prompted to download anything from my ps3, can anyone explain why?

Probably because you have to wait until tomorrow to get the patch. It looks like 360 owners only, today.
