It is major improvement over the previous games I played pre-patch. However, there is still the occasional major slowdown and the presence of lag has not gone away. All I know is that it is much better than before, though nothing compared to the 5v5 I played in Live 08...haven't played Live 09 yet.

I am seeing better backdown resistance now.

Also I don't understand why some of you thought that post patch would give you default realistic shooting %s. Remember we are the minority.

Re: Patch did not fix anything

guys, have you noticed that when you run a play players do not walk anymore but RUN through screens - it seems it has been fixed

I also get the impression that they made playing d more physical

I definitely see more midrange jumpers

Re: Patch did not fix anything

I tried backing down Chamberlain with Cowens and got pushed damn near to mid court. Only game play issue is that im starting to get fouled on every drive to the lane but hopefully sliders'll fix that.


Also unfortunately CAPS and legends still dont show up in the league leaders section during season/association.

Re: NBA 2K9 Patch Released For 360, Impressions Here

Just picked up the game again and played a few games.. I'm not understanding the complaints. Seems like 2k really came through here and improved the issues I was having with this game. Are people really still playing this game with sliders that were for pre patch with this patch? That makes no logical sense to me..... Game plays really nice now on default.

Re: Patch did not fix anything

Game stats: the final score is 84-69 Blazers

Knicks(cpu) shot 27\62 43% FG 7\20 35% 3P 8\9 FT

32 points in the paint

Blazers(me) shot 34\57 59% FG 4\11 36% 3P 12\18 FT

38 points in the paint


As I stated earlier, players now run through screens instead of walking, which additionally gets you an open shot and more room ( the defender recovery time seems slower). I guess what they did, if it is possible at all, was that they made offensive player quicker in order to decrease defensive player's recovery time.

I've played 3 games so far on pro with default sliders and had a blast

Some people just can't be pleased.

Muzyk23,

Do you see players running to set picks as well? they always seemed to run off screens for me.

I notice more deflected passes in the paint, and more on ball steals....I especially like how teammates get out on the fast-break on steals, much more realistic....
