Cons
I played like 7 games yesterday. I really haven't noticed to much of a difference here.
This is fucked up. I'm missing wide open 3's all of a sudden. I think they fucked with mid range jump shots too. I can't seem to make any jump shots anymore.
It seems like there are way too many fouls now.
Overall - I wasn't enjoying the game as much yesterday. I don't know if it was the patch or if it was me, but I take a lot of jumpshots, and it seems like I was bricking like crazy. It also seems the defense is way too good now. The 70-80 online games I have played since the game came out... scores were like 80-75. Yesterday I didn't score more than 68 in 7 games. I also went 1-6 in these games. In my opinion they tuned down jump shots, but didn't tune down inside scoring enough so my play style took a huge blow.
Pros
This feature is much more enjoyable now.
It only takes 1 try to get into a game now. Very happy.
Took some adjusting too. I was so used to having to push up quicker to make the shot. However I'm glad this was fixed. Now my Free Throws will be 80% instead of 40%.
Points in the Paint – In an effort to increase user satisfaction, we have tuned interior defense in combination with shooting percentages for shots taken in the paint. The result is something we feel will be more in-line with what our users are expecting.
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.
General Fixes – A large number of other smaller issues have been addressed with the aim of increasing user satisfaction. These changes, while minor, have improved the quality of gameplay.

Pros
Team-Up Lag – An intense round of optimization has taken place for the Team-Up experience. The changes made grant significant speed improvements for users on slower broadband connections such as lower-end DSL connections. The end result is a much smoother gameplay experience for everyone.
Quick Match Connection Problems – An issue was identified where users were being re-directed to the online FAQ instead of being taken into a game. This message will now only appear in appropriate situations.
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.
