NBA 2K10 Will Get Second Patch

Whenes the madden 10 patch coming out? (Put thumbs down on me I dare you.) =)

at least with madden there is nothing major to be fixed, its not like the modes there dont work. 2k has full modes that still dont work.

and btw at the timing. 2nd madden patch if out soon it'll have been just over 3 months. 2nd 2k10 patch if out in january will have been 3 months.

yeah thats true your right on how we dont have anything major to fix the only reason im mad is that it is taking them 3 months to fix monor little things u no what im talking about? they are very lazy.

ya the football going through players hands and players going through players is nothing major at all

There ya go :)

thanks to all of you who put thumbs down on me! I get 15 cents a thumbs down on every comment. thank you all!!

Realistically they arent going to fix online play in the patch. They lied about features like online leagues and pick-up games. Patches last year didn't fix online play and the first patch for 2K10 didnt do anything either. No reason to expect anything better this time around.

Damn, strong words Pasta, you tell 'em. Is Live putting out another patch to fix what the first patch broke? Are you going to write an article scolding Live and EA for their crappy patch? Also, I am interested in becoming a respected videogame and entertainment journalist like yourself, but am unsure if the job would afford me the lifestyle I am used to. If you do not mind divulging, how much does EA pay you?

I'm confused. What did I say that you didn't like? They said this patch will try and improve My Player and Online Play. Leagues, Crew, Pick-up, Team-up all don't work or are very inconsistent and that should not be the case.

pasta dont worry... some assholes just dont like 2 hear other ppls opinions. also what you said is true and is not biased.. You only said that it needs to improve which is a true statement so I think you did nothing wrong

Pasta dont worry this game is done. 2k still has game play issues that the last patch didnt fix and its a shame. Pick and roll scoring rate is still about 90% success.

lol i love how some 2k fanboys will stick up for the company no matter how shitty a product they put out. what does live have to do with the problems with 2k? luckily most people woke up and arent taking it if the 2k forums are any sign

ah so 3 months after release the features *might* be working. great job 2k

Screw 2K

You should add that PC users wont get any patch not even the first one until January. Online does not work at all on the PC!

i really lost faith in 2K Sports this year. I knew MLB would be bad and it was worse than that but I still expected NBA 2K10 to at least be good. doesnt seem like they are going the right direction in this company

2K Sports owes me money. Imagine if you couldn't play Team Deathmatch in Modern Warfare 2 until they bring out a patch 3 months after release.

Pasta, you are biased towards LIVE, and everyone with half a brain realizes that, but it's cool. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and you've obviously got yours, while attempting to maintain a sense of fairness.

Let's be honest, the Online play for basketball games has NEVER, and I repeat, NEVER been the driving force behind the game. It's always been the single player modes and all the details surrounding it. It's been no different than Madden. Sure, it would be nice if all basketball games had functional online leagues that worked just like offline, but that's not realistic at all, even though both companies act as if it does.

yeah but NBA LIVE works online unlike all the issue with 2K, so whats your point?

I just hope I don't have to restart my association again.

I don't think you will have to. I remember 2k saying something about the patch affecting modes already in progress.

Take a look at Madden, one of the best sports video games of all-time, if not the best. The game didn't offer online league play until this year, and even it's got problems. It's not a perfect world dude, and the truth is both games have their faults. LIVE does too, in that it's not even close to resembling real life basketball, and if you know the game you would realize it too, even though LIVE is getting better (last years product should have honestly been re-called). That's being fair. It wasn't a basketball game, just like EA's version of NCAA. I wouldn't have given you a ham sandwich for that product last year.

Truth is both companies are making progress, but it's still a work-in-progress for both games. There are pro's and con's, but only a person with no basketball experience or knowledge would say the EA's version is better right now, and I'm a huge EA fan. I've bought Madden and many other EA products for years. But in being fair, their basketball games have stunk up the gym.

madden sucks

Thumb me down!

2k fans should just stop buying this game til after they "patch" the game to working order. Its hilarious that it takes 2-3 months for 2k to make there game completely functional. Do you honestly think that they didnt know about these things while in development. Isn't apparent that 2k can no longer produce their games with the prescribed deadline any longer. This marks the 2nd year in a row that NBA2k has released with substantial problems and the fix was months in the waiting. It should be abundantly clear that 2k's only intention is to get the product to market to cash in regardless of the quality of the product.

I don't know which is worse: 2k knowingly marketing a product with significant problems or 2kfanboy who also knows this but still plunks down 60$ to buy said game.

EA and every other sports developer has the same issue this isnt isolated to 2k so please feel free to bash everyone else as well

Bleh, EA fans are still waiting for the 2nd patch of Madden 10, so patching sports game has nothing to do with the company.

Yeah i'm not sure where you are going with all of this when myself and every other NBA LIVE fan is waiting on their 2nd patch to fix the first patch. What's ironic is after all the shit talk between the two companies in my opinion EA has basically pulled a page right from 2k and seem to have vanished. Live has some major issues and they need to at the very least address that they are aware of them in one of their blogs. For example how does goaltending points not being counted get overlooked by a whole team of developers, this is mind boggling to me. With EA it always seems to be something fundamental that keeps this title from taking that next leap forward. With 2K in my opinion it's fan bass allows them to not be concerned with take big leaps forward. 2K should be in a lot better shape than it is now.

The truth is nether of these titles warrant a $60 price tag, not when year after year both titles release incomplete. I think what needs to be realized is that there simply isn't enough time to meet deadline goals for a complete product.

I agree, 2k10 would b a great game to play but althoughs damn glitches online makes it terrible. I will not buy this game anymore without playing it several times at blockbuster. 2k10 team, C'mon man!!

i cant criticize 2k for releasing another patch really that is a good thing. but it doesnt make up for the fact that the game wont have worked for at least 3 months and thats if the patch actually gets things right.

2K10 is still a better sports simulation than Madden. I still can't challenge plays when I'm suppose to be able to when playing Madden. I can't see how someone can say that 2K needs to rebuild it's relations with consumers when EA tried to force people to play FNR4 the way they want, the try to force people to stay in the pocket, when there really is no pocket with Madden10, and they force lies on people with all of there games. EA has the worst consumer relations of any videogame company not 2K.

sorry but it just sounds like u suck in madden more than anything else

EA fanboys will never quit on defending Madden, LOL!

why are you comparing apples to oranges? No one is forced to by anything and there is no propaganda. You are saying EA is the worst consumer relations company but both title NBA 2K10 and NBA LIVE 10 had to be patched and 2K clearly false advertised their online play. Typically and especially through development EA does a way better job with keeping it's fan base up to date with what's going on in the development process unlike 2K and there is no denying it, it's a simple fact!

Hey PastaEAPadre

I see that you wrote at the end of your blog that this patch will come later then we hoped for because things did not get totaly fixed and 2k is trying to mend fences with their customers.

Why dont you write a blog about Madden and how you and Ian told us a month ago that it was in certification and we still dont even have a list of what is fixed and no timetable as to when it will be released.

The last patch broke the game with the number blocks on helmets and broke some sliders.

Why dont you write about madden and ea and how they have kiled madden this year for people.

At least 2k is doing things right and announcing them faster then EA has with Madden...

Is almost December and Madden still broken

Believe me Pasta will not do that...Even though Madden's patch has yet to come about and there were blatant lies coming fom Ian and Pasta...I normlly dont post but the negative tone of this 2k patch article as opposed to his always positive tones regarding ea and madden is ridiculous..which is why no one really takes him serious...lol

I would love to see if Pasta "Mans Up" and responds to this comment.

It's very clear that EA's intention with Madden was to string the people along, to keep the used game market supply low, thereby ensuring that on tomorrow, Black Friday, EA can sell more copies.

I don't mind marketing or sales strategies, but I do mind being lied to.

Pasta is a regular dude. rather he responds or not is irrelevant

I've been a vocal supporter, not fanboy, but supporter of 2K10 since the release but lately I've been experiencing a really annoying glitch. Every time I go to play an exhibition match, I am stuck as the point guard as in My Player mode. Is this happening to everyone or just me? If so, how the hell do I fix it?

brother...you have to go to controller settings and change your preferred position (player lock) to none
