After letting go of my fun arcade sliders and going back to the default ones, I gotta say I am liking the post-patch gameplay.

After letting go of my fun arcade sliders and going back to the default ones, I gotta say I am liking the post-patch gameplay.

When you say default ones you mean Default or Simulation sliders ? And what Difficulty you play on? I prefer default simulation sliders with All Star difficulty!

I agree with you( simulation sliders and all-star difficulty, 12min), but off. rebounds are not enough. If I increase the off.rebounds slider the %fg drops down a lot.

Default default, HoF difficulty

I agree, new gameplay is absolutely terrible with the new patch. It's not about "play smarter" or whatever someone said, I constantly watch NBA basketball and understand the game deeply. I already play smart and at a high difficulty level. It's frustrating when what used to work no longer does. I box out and get great positions on the boards just like I always did but all of a sudden I'm getting out-rebounded even when I hold position. I use shot-stick timing for shooting just like I always have and all of a sudden my most deadly marksmen are missing wide open threes. Even isomotion doesn't seem to be as effective. I can't use post moves as effectively as before and my beasts in the paint just fall into blocked shots instead of muscling through to put up some kind of shot. I'm not seeing anything positive at all about this patch other than online uploads seem to be working again. I've begun tweaking my sliders until I rectify all the things I'm unhappy with but it's frustrating in the meantime.

Also, does anyone else have the problem where it doesn't remember your 2K ID when starting the game? I have to keep inputting it all upon game startup, just as if I had loaded it for the very first time.

The patch destroys shoots, forget 3-pts, forget medium range shoots. Go to the basket for points in the paint or fouls, thats not realistic. In the pre patch gameplay you did't have to go in the basket you could free from your defender and shot, now 9/10 shoots are off so you have to go inside. Cpu do the same, prefers points in the paint from shoot.

I agree, this is probably one of the most frustrating aspects.

Hey I recently bought 2K12 for PC from Amazon Digitial copy and can't find the patch . Any suggestions ?

Who can help me solve a problem with account? reply to e-mail, but nothing helps...

Didnt worked man! Still stuck on the Account thingy...

Post patch gameplay is incredible.Idk why you guys have problems.Play smart.Yes, cpu AI is harder with the patch but you need to run plays and study the opponent's weaknesses.I have already Def Awr and Off Awr at 100 for both user and cpu and it plays a wonderful game of bball in both ends.Having problems with passes?Reduce passing lanes for cpu somewhere at 25.Raise shooting fouls at 73.I'm using Alby's rosters and the stats are spot on in every area.So, saying nothing is fixed is a lie.Yes, team stats bug is not fixed.So what?Pass response is fixed,fast breaks are fixed (having tons of them with my players filling great the lanes all the way to the basket), D movement is great,offensive movement too, plays are now responsive and never break unlsess you want them to break, finally cpu is defending the post as it should, offensive rebounds number is increased (now having the slider at 90 or 100 gives you the magic number of 11-13 off rebs per game, trade logic is way better now.I even see more animations on the court.Yesterday I had my player diving for the ball and cpu running to him immidiately and grabbing it for a jump-ball.
Also, those of you having problems with the account screen showing every time at game launch, just set the nba2k12 executable to run as admin.Voila.Fixed.
Finally, if you believe EA's effort will offer something in the competition I think you are having high hopes.

Same here, switching to run as administrator didn't do squat. They need to fix this fast. !!

2K Support are the people to contact about that. If you're on Twitter, you could also try contacting Chris Manning (@LD2k).

Default default, HoF difficulty

So what is your opinion. Which slider after official patch gives more simulation experience 2k's default or 2k's simulation?

I don't play basketball, I play video games


but seriously, I hate "sim", I want to have fun. I think me saying "After letting go of my fun arcade sliders" should have instilled that

Admin rights on exe works.If this method doesn't work for you block internet connetion of the game with your antivirus/internet security program.

Each one time I wanna play 2K12 (since patched) I've to insert game DVD. How to fix it ? (Before patched, it wasn't like that)

Have you installed the patch for the DVD-ROM version on a digital download copy?

I installed patch from NLSC downloads & I've got DVD version. I've to insert disc every time I wanna play since then.

Then there's no problem, the patch is working fine. Please also note at this time that discussion of No Disc cracks are against the Forum rules and are grounds for a ban; just a friendly reminder.

Patched version PC:

My Player:

Finished one season.

No signings or whatever happened.o.O I only play keygames so it simmed preseason. but wtf? Still the same roster as your previous seasonso.O

Hmmmmm.....I'm sticking with the pre-patch...
Albys RR2 Roster with Albys RR3 sliders....Man, so realistic! Albys is spot on, specially with the Sixers gameplay.. Amazing!

O.K but is it O.K. when I've put disc into every time ? Why wasn't it like that earlier ?

Finally i have fixed the problem with account creation every time i launch the game. If someone still have it then go to Options->load/save->load/save options and turn on autosave. Damn that was SO ANNOYING

Hey guys..
