Mike Wang returns to 2K Sports

Showfom — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 07:54:52 +0000

From: http://sports.espn.go.com/videogames/news/story?id=4877673

EA Sports' media blitz for "NBA Live 10" was led front and center by their acquisition of "NBA 2K8's" lead gameplay designer Mike Wang. But now, one year later, 2K Sports is back to announce Wang's shocking return to the company and to the "NBA 2K" franchise after only releasing one game for the competition.

"When I went over there (to EA), a lot of it was for personal reasons. I wanted to try something new, try a new challenge. But after being there and spending some time over at EA, it was clear that they do things a different way, and in a way it's just inefficient and just not the place to be to make the best games," said Wang in a recent conference call with ESPN to announce his return. "When I went there, I immediately missed VC (Visual Concepts), and it's just one of those things where I tried to stick it out as long as I could, but I wanted to come back. With some of the creative decisions over at EA, it just made it difficult to stay there. They just want to make a different game than I had a vision for. So I reached out to (2K's senior vice president of sports development) Greg Thomas and he was gracious enough to have me back.

"For me, it was interesting to be at EA, but it was just hard to get stuff done."

Added Greg Thomas: "He was there, he didn't really care for it, and now he's back where he belongs."

Wang returns to his role as lead gameplay designer of the "NBA 2K" series, and the team is already hard at work on "NBA 2K11."

"I don't want to get too much into specifics for '2K11,' but the focus over here has always been to make the best basketball sim," said Wang. "That's something that the guys over at EA, they don't always have that same focus. They want to make a different kind of game this year."

Thomas agrees: "Over at EA, you have so many levels of management, and you have somebody up there looking at unit sales and how 2K is kicking their asses, so now they want to change things in a great way because they can't afford to sell this many units through a three-year plan or a five-year plan. Here, we're always trying to do the same thing, we're always trying to make the best basketball simulation we can.

"I think EA is going through an identity crisis with their basketball sim."

And according to designer Erick Boenisch, EA's identity crisis, coupled with the return of Wang, looks to tip the scales even further in 2K's direction. "Whenever you get the opportunity to add someone like Mike, that's what our team feeds off of and the results will be a much better NBA product," he said. "It's created a lot of excitement."

"Mike coming back enables us to try and push as many new ideas as we can into the forefront," added longtime "NBA 2K" producer Rob Jones. "This is something we always do, but having Mike just makes us better at doing it."

In related news, 2K Sports is also set to announce that "NBA 2K10" has already sold over two million copies worldwide. "It's fantastic," boasted Thomas. "Off the charts."

But Thomas sees even bigger things in store for "NBA 2K11" now that he finally has his team back together.

"I think it makes our team stronger, and already, I think you'll see our team is, I wouldn't say cockier, but already I've read some documents from these guys and I hear things like 'Best basketball game ever.' This team isn't usually that way, but already, there's a little more strut to our step."

When reached for comment, an EA Sports spokesman told ESPN: "We appreciate Mike's contribution to the 'NBA Live' franchise and wish him well in future endeavors. 'NBA Live 11' pre-production is well underway and the team is poised to raise the bar on quality, innovation and authenticity."

Looks like this rivalry just got a lot more interesting.

NBA 2K10 Post-Patch Crew/Team-Up Issue

Link: http://www.2ksports.com/forums/showthread.php?t=256292

Hey guys,
We are trying to get a better understanding of the issue here. Please share with me what is happening of the following options:

1.) The game ends with a dialog that reads "A network problem has been encountered that prevents gameplay from continuing."

Users encounter this message when the state of the game differs between machines (e.g. one machine thinks a point was scored and another doesn't). They're usually triggered by the actions taken by one of the users in the match before entering gameplay, so if this category comprises your error, for now enter crew games directly from the title screen and not go anywhere else first. We can look into what is causing this instead.

2.) The game ends with a dialog that reads "Network conditions are too poor for this game to continue" or "Connection with opponent lost. Exiting game."

These are our peer-to-peer networking error dialogs. If these show up as soon as everyone readies up in the "Game Lobby" - probably after a dialog appears that reads "Exchanging data. Please wait" - then one or more machines in the match are incapable of communicating with each other.

3.) General Lag

This latency is caused by connecting to a host that's either laggy or you are not acting well peer-to-peer with the host. Part of the patch was to cache these broken connections so this should get better over time for those of you who play a lot.

4.) Other Error Message

Please share with us exactly what error message you are hitting. One thing I haven't seen (which was majorly the case before the recent patch) is the Online FAQ error message. So at least that's better for those of you who do a good job port forwarding.

Let us know. Thanks.

NBA 2K10 Official Patch Notes - 360 to be out this week

Showfom — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 08:37:43 +0000

Ronnie from 2K Sports has confirmed that NBA 2K10 Xbox 360 Patch has been approved by Microsoft and it should be released in the next 72 hours. Unfortunately he has also confirmed that there is no word on any PC Patch, so we start wondering if 2K Sports will really release a PC Patch.

From: http://www.2ksports.com/forums/showthread.php?t=255028

The patch is in the submissions stage. I am sure the holidays not help clear the queue in front of us but know that the patch is submitted and it should be a matter of a couple weeks. The PC patch is still in creation but will be a combination of this and the first patch. I will update this thread with an exact release date for PS3, 360, and PC when I have more info. Thanks for your continued patience.

- 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.

ASSOCIATION

- ‘Recent Games’ scores will no longer be erased when exiting from practice.

- The commentators will no longer refer to players as having scored 0 points when that is not appropriate.

- CPU teams will now trade amongst themselves during 30-team Associations when the user has automated the Player Trading task for all of the teams.

- Fixed an issue that was causing the game to report incorrect ages for 2K Share Draft Class prospects. The prospects will no longer retire after their first season in the league.

- Addressed a rare issue where players would have some of their attributes jump to 99 when they had low morale and/or were on a team with poor team chemistry.

- Addressed a case where players would not show up on the roster once they were signed by a team.

- In Season mode, users are now able to sign players from the free agent list.

- In Season mode, users are now able to trade players without needing to follow salary cap guidelines.

Something About 99 Rated Players on Online Mode

Hey guys,
We have begun the process of banning the 99 rated players. It is very easy for us to differentiate who acquired their player legitley and who hacked their files so it should be a quick turnaround. We are through a 100 players already and hope to be done by the end of the week. We have to manually do them and I will be working on that as I have time with some help from around the office.
Please know that we take this My Player feature very seriously and want legit players running around. Cheating will not be tolerated, as I said when the game was first released. I apologize it took so long but we needed a fix in the patch before this got going. Thank you. Keep you updated as we go along.

NBA 2K10 PC Offical Patches Update

Guys,
Like I have said countless times in the other subforum, a patch is coming for the PC. I imagine they want to combine everything for the console (pretty simple port) and the outstanding issues as they isolate those. Don't worry, it's coming.
The online issues you guys are having are much like the console versions in the early days so I imagine they'll be straightened out a little like the consoles were after the patch.

So I think we will wait for a few days or weeks.

Full NBA 2K10 Patch Details

Showfom — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 00:40:07 +0000

From: 2K Sports <PS3 Patch Details (360 Update Inside)>

Hey 2Kers,
First off, thanks to everyone for being patient regarding the patch. We've taken a little extra time to ensure that what you're getting is exactly what you want. I think you'll see that effort in the patch details below.
We are actually still putting the finishing touches on the 360 version of the patch, so I don't have the full details of that patch just yet. I'll pass along that information to Ronnie once it is ready (which should be in the next couple of days).
And now the question everyone wants to know...when is the patch coming out? Let me tell you where we are at and how this normally plays out. We are about to send the patches to our QA for internal testing where we will hammer on the changes for around a week to make certain that the issues were properly fixed and that new ones weren't added. After that, the patches will need to be submitted to Sony and Microsoft where they usually get tested for 7-10 days (depending on how busy they are). Once the patches are approved at the first parties, they usually get released within a few days of that approval. I'll be passing on updates to Ronnie such that he can keep all of you in the loop.
On to the details...

GENERAL

- Improved game performance in all arenas and camera angles.

- Corrected a framerate issue that was causing noticeable slowdown in the paint in specific arenas.

- Corrected a framerate issue that was causing noticeable slowdown during NBA D-League games.

- Fixed an issue where Coach Settings were not properly saving to the user’s Settings file.

- Addressed an issue where the user would enter into a game where there would either be no crowd present or the opposing team would not appear on the court.

- Fixed an issue where users would get NBA Blacktop rules (no intentional fouls, no 3-in-the-key, etc.) turned on when attempting to play a Quick Game.

- In-game saves should now load up correctly in the Playoffs game mode.

- Users are now able to assign any jersey number to a player, on any team, when playing outside of The Association game mode.

- Games played in the NBA D-League should now have appropriate sized crowds.

- Fixed a slowdown issue during stoppages of play with created teams.

- Made a change to where the value for headband colors is stored at. These changes can now be made through Living Roster releases once the patch is released. If you see any discrepancies, make sure and let the 2K Insider know!

GAMEPLAY

- Tuned shooting percentages across the board, particularly in the paint where more shots are now initiated with contact.

- Fixed a soft hang on an inbound where the inbounding player would miss the ball handoff from the referee.

- Plays will no longer break when the user strays slightly from the intended path.

- Both User/CPU alley-oop success has been toned down such that only realistic attempts should now be completed.

- Assists should now only be credited to the passer at appropriate times.

- Only 1 timeout is deducted from the total when the CPU calls a timeout for the user.

- The CPU should no longer pass the ball to a teammate when the recipient has a foot out of bounds.

- Bad passes should be less inaccurate now. They still happen with similar frequency, but some passes can be recovered now.

- CPU players now have better logic behind their turbo energy management (which will keep them fresher for key moments in the game).

- CPU players should now be more aware of being called for 3 second violations.

- Defensive assist is now turned off when the ball is not in play.

- Point Guards should no longer end up out of bounds during baseline inbounds coming out of a timeout or dead ball.

- Fixed a case where the PG would run in a circle (in anticipation of receiving the ball) in the backcourt during transitions.

- Players should no longer get stuck in the post in a single player hold-ball animation (often leading to a 24-second violation) when trying to drive to the basket.

- Fixed an issue where the user was unable to give certain players their player-specific animation packages.

- Fixed an issue with a baseline layup where opposing defenders weren’t able to create contact when the animation played out.

- Addressed a specific dunk animation that would sometimes not result in a made basket despite a successful dunk.

- The user should now notice more over-the-back calls on rebounds when the boxed out player attempts a rebound.

- Improvements to the ‘walk the dog’ inbounds play including increased velocity on the inbound.

- A good number of other changes aimed towards increasing user satisfaction have also been made in this release. These will be apparent as you play the game (ex. The referee will now utilize a bounce pass rather than a chest pass when passing the ball to the shooter during free throw situations, plays will now start quicker when the user manually calls a play, etc.).

PRESENTATION

- During NBA Today/Association games, the ‘Upcoming Schedule’ overlay will no longer obstruct
gameplay.

- Fixed an issue in private matches with friends where all users would disconnect when attempting to play a second game.

- Fixed an issue where games in online leagues would diverge if users made changes to the default roster.

- Addressed an issue where completed ranked games would sometimes not report the results to the server.

MY PLAYER

- Fixed an issue that would cause a clone of the user’s player to be created when changing teams at the end of the Summer Circuit. Existing cloned players will be removed with this patch.

- Tuned the substitution logic such that users should no longer be substituted out only to be substituted in at the next dead ball.

- The logic that determines whether or not you get an invite to Training Camp, make the NBA team, and get an invite from an NBA team while in the NBA D-League have all been changed to be a little more forgiving.

- Resolved an issue where the 2K Insider was not informing the user of his/her contract status at the conclusion of a 10-day contract.

- Fixed a rare case that would cause a hang during the offseason following a My Player season.

- Animation packages will no longer be reset to the ‘best’ package every time a corresponding attribute is upgraded.

- Fixed an issue where player ratings would drop upon the successful completion of a Development Drill.

- Tuned the Player Progression system such that Shot Tendencies will progress/regress over a player’s career. Additionally, general Player Progression/Regression has been slightly increased as well.

- Fixed an issue where the number of players the user had sent down to their D-League affiliate wasn’t getting reset despite recalling players back to their NBA team.

- Fixed an issue where draft classes loaded in future years would change the age of the prospects inside the draft class. They should now have the same age they were created with.

- 10-day contracts should now work in year 2 and beyond.

- Lower rated players should now be more accepting of the ‘Role Player’ role.

- Stats accumulated during NBA D-League games will no longer register as Season/Career Highs for players.

- Corrected an issue where users were able to continue drafting players once the NBA Draft had ended.

- Users should no longer have an obstructed view of the court when performing Development Drills.

- Users should no longer be able to see the overall rating of players during the NBA Draft.

- Corrected an issue where backloaded contracts were getting incorrectly multiplied in the latter years of the contract.

NBA 2K10 Review (PS3)

Showfom — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 10:15:21 +0000

Although EA Sports has held the crown for most sports games, the NBA 2K series has still been the gold standard when it comes to basketball simulation. With excellent presentation values, solid on and off court play (thanks to its franchise mode) and an incredibly rich amount of features, 2K has frequently held off its competitors, who have lagged behind with disappointing installments in the past. With the ten year anniversary of the franchise slated for this year, 2K Sports had more of a reason to maintain their dominance. Plus, with Sony's first party game taking a year off in the development leagues and NBA Live raising the level of its game, the burden was on them to prove why their game was the best around. Fortunately, NBA 2K10 will not disappoint fans of the series, even with some annoying problems that can try your patience.
