NBA 2K9 Patch Released For 360/PS3, Impressions Here

I think now we might have to learn the low post moves rather than backing the opposing player down - which is probably a good thing.

Maybe you guys can increase or decrease the Strength Slider and/or increase or decrease the On-ball Defense in order to see ppl being backed down?

If you are controlling a Big man down in the low post and want to back down, can't you just post up and and spin either right or left of your defender by slightly pushing your left analog stick to the direction of the roll?

3 seconds in the lane is still not called. Seems like the easiest thing to fix. Online is still a camp in the lane fest.

Is there a tell tale way to be 100% that you have the patch? let me explain. I have wireless internet and haven't hooked up my xbox to it in 6 months. I have downloaded NOTHING from nba 2k9 until today. I hooked it up and it updated a couple times. But I just want to make 100% sure that I have the patch. Is there a definitive way to tell??

Thank you guys so much.

just boosted user strength to 65 and the backing down seems more realistic - you get about 1 push at a time and if you just stand against the guy he will push you away.

The post game isnt *that* bad from the patch. So far in my testing i've found that you just have to get good position and if that means tossing it back out and resetting then so be it, that's real basketball.

Although that doesnt excuse Shaq not being able to push Stackhouse around like he was nothing...

1st free throw and 2k cam - if there is no stutter you have the patch

or

play some tutorials and then go to play a game, if there is no inbound bug you are good to go

it all depends on ratings though. the rating of the guy backing down vs. the rating of the guy being backed down.

you have to come up with a system of what # should be able to back down what #, and what shouldn't be able to.

Same, there were times where i couldnt back someone down, but there were times i did with Gasol and with Bynum. They toned it down a bit which i like. Its not as extreme as people are saying on here. I did back them down a few times.
