NBA 2K9 Patch Arrives on 12/3 For PS3, Coming Soon For 360
  04:44 PM - December 1, 2008 by Rawdeal28
The highly anticipated patch for NBA 2K9 will arrive for the PS3 on December 3rd. Xbox 360 owners will have to wait, but it shouldn't be far behind.

You can find the bug fix list, right here.

Quote:
"I have been informed by Sony that the NBA 2K9 patch has cleared and is expected to be available within the next 48 hours. My next post will chronicle the changes expected in the patch. Obviously the 360 patch was submitted to Microsoft at the same time and it's now a matter of their timing on when they release the patch on XBL. I imagine it will be a matter of days and when I know exact timing, I will inform you. As you can see, the community made a major impact on decisions made in this patch so for all our titles, remember to post your thoughts and wanted changes and I will collect them with the moderators. You can make a huge impact on our games. Thanks..."

First FT Lag / Difficulty – The first free throw of an online game had a variable amount of lag depending on which camera was chosen for the shot. We have corrected this issue by asserting a fixed camera for this shot that eliminates any controller lag. In addition to this, the ‘make’ window for free throws in online play has been increased to account for the timing difference.
Is there a way to put in a permanent patch for this because I hope they don't ship 2K10 with this issue again.

Thanks for all the info

Jab Step Fixes – The ‘Jab Step’ move has been reconstructed to be more balanced in the post. Specifically, it should not be effective in user vs. user games unless the ball-handler touches the defender. Also, performing the ‘Jab Step’ should no longer make the defense go back when the ball-handler loses the dribble.
Thank damn God man! Bout damn time

Wow they are putting in a ton of fixes.

PiP is my favorite fix.

It says they fixed the online free throw issue, but I hope they also fixed it for the offline mode.

Shooting Percentages – Continuing with the above description, we have tuned down shot success of perimeter shots when the defender is amply covering the offensive player taking the shot
^^^Told ya'll that was off!

I like how they say "for user satisfaction", or "in line with what our users were expecting", as if they weren't seeing backdoor cuts, 90% inside shot success and lack of contested jumpers, LMAO.

Thanks for the fixes though, seriously. We appreciate the hard work.

I wonder if it was possible for them to do sth about spacing and footplanting.

i would think inside shot succes needs more tuning than perimeter shots dont u think?

not saying the perimeter shot doesnt need tweaking but the problem is more of points in the paint and the post up game.

the sliding can start over again.. Patch looks to fix a lot of issues.. I am curious how it will play... Just picked up a copy of Live today, but will probably return it tomorrow..

Thanks 2K. Much appreciated. Love some of those gameplay fixes. At first glance, I didn't think they were doing any once I read general and then on-line. I thought "WTF! That's not cool". 2K is good for some gameplay tweaks. I like it!

Association Simulation: I wonder if the fix the simulation that prevent garbage teams from making the playoffs and very good teams to make the playoffs. Because i test this. Thunder kept making the playoffs and they are freaking garbage while good teams like the sun,spurs, celtics didnt make the playoffs in my first year of Associations. Knicks kept getting 45-50 wins. One time the Bobcats got 60 wins and their overall is like 65 really??? I wonder if they fix that. Too see a realistic playoff picture.

I wish they would fix the blocks on the jumpers too many jumpshots get blocked

Yea...they sure are...I have to say that the shooting percentages, and end game scores are some of my favorite fixes.

Now I can set sim qtr length back to 12 instead of having it at 11.

They both needed it. The inside shots needed it more, but contesting jumpers was off too.
