The second patch for NBA 2K10 that was released for the PS3 earlier this month went live for the 360 this morning. The patch attempts to address various issues with the game that are most concentrated in My Player mode and online play but other areas have been worked on as well.

Continue on for the full list of changes that are intended to occur due to the patch. From following the PS3 response the online modes that were unreliable or didn’t work at all before have not improved all that much and early reaction from the 360 side is similar. For those with the 360 version make sure to leave your thoughts in the comments on the  effectiveness of the patch.

GENERAL

  • When using the Living Roster, users can now play standard Quick Games with players who are injured in real life.
  • The Dunk Off trophy should now be unlocking when the requirements have been achieved.

  • The camera will no longer cut away to the nosebleed cam mid-free throw during NBA Today/My Player play.
  • The ‘On-Ball Defense’ column should now properly perform ascending/descending sorts

GAMEPLAY

  • Further tuned the assist logic such that the CPU should be more diligent in handing out assists to players.
  • Pass accuracy has been toned down for passes out of a double team, passes out of contact shots, and non-inbound full court passes.
  • Addressed a rare occurrence where the referee would hold on to the ball and not pass it to the shooter during free throw shooting situations.
  • CPU players are now much more selective when choosing to pass the ball while attacking the basket.
  • Offensive rebounds are now much tougher to grab following missed free throws.
  • When played locked, the CPU will no longer throw a full court pass following a missed shot due to the user rapidly pressing the ‘Y’ button for the rebound.

ONLINE

  • Corrected an issue that was causing online NBA Today games to disconnect when a user with his/her console set to North America was playing an opponent who had their console set to Europe/Asia.
  • Fixed a Team-Up divergence that occurred when users would rapidly press the ‘Start’ button during the loading screen.
  • Addressed a crash in leagues that would occur when the league was using an out of date roster.
  • Addressed a divergence in leagues that would occur when the league was using a custom roster and/or had a league size larger than 12 users.

  • Improved connection times when attempting to connect to an opponent.
  • Fixed a rare hang on the ‘Closing Match’ dialog that appears at the conclusion of a Team-Up game.

MY PLAYER

  • The NBA 2K Insider will no longer incorrectly tell the user he has an important decision to make when a decision doesn’t need to be made.
