NBA 2K16 News Post


A new patch for the PC version of NBA 2K16 is available now. Check out the details below.

GENERAL
  • Support added for custom keyboard configurations.
  • Optimization improvements that increase performance across all configurations.
  • Addressed an issue where some users would notice commentary cutting out during gameplay.
  • Resolved frame rate stuttering at start of games/between quarters on moderate to high-end systems.
  • Addressed an issue where some users would see a black screen in the Edit Arena and Edit Uniform menus when ‘Special Effects’ was turned off.
  • New Video Settings option ‘Media People Detail Level’ added; reducing this will help performance on low-end and mid-range graphics cards.
  • Corrected missing/incorrect player icons when using a non-Xbox 360 controller.
  • Fixed a rare hang that could occur when attempting to fast-forward 2KTV.
  • Fixed a rare driver crash on DirectX 10.0 and DirectX 10.1 graphics cards.
  • Help text added to Video Settings menu.
  • Additional detail setting now available for Shader Detail in the Video Settings menu.
  • Fixed super sampling not working when Letterbox (formerly called Aspect Ratio Correction) was disabled.
  • The following Video Settings options should now provide the expected results when modified: Color Correction, Depth of Field, Screen Space Ambient Occlusion, Bloom, and Volumetric Effects.
  • Resolved a rare case where the game would hang when entering/exiting the Tattoo editor when customizing the tattoos on your MyPLAYER.
  • Addressed an issue on the main menu where the title would freeze for a period of time before proceeding to the selected action (e.g. loading a MyCAREER save).
  • Players will no longer slide/skate when pressing the block button during an inbound state. It was funny while it lasted.
  • Tuned crowd excitement and intensity on made buzzer beaters.
  • Resolved a case where certain players (e.g. Kristaps Porzingis) would have their hairstyle change slightly when zooming in the camera very close in replay.
MyPARK/2K PRO-AM
  • Pro-Am Team Play has been added to the game! You can now play as a full team in your custom-built arenas.
  • Addressed a number of matchmaking issues that inhibited users from playing in Pro-Am Walk-On games.
  • Fixed an issue where your player would sometimes appear with the incorrect height (if you had more than one MyCAREER save file) when entering MyPARK/Pro-Am from within MyCAREER.
  • Fixed a rare case where the ball would get stuck in the High Roller courts, thus preventing a game from concluding.
  • Improved the animation of the skateboard in MyPARK. If you don’t have this, get it. You can move between courts faster than those that are on-foot!
  • 2K Beats will now continue to play after finishing a game in MyPARK.
MyCAREER/MyCOURT
  • Fixed an issue where some users were unable to join their friends’ MyCOURTs.
  • Fixed an issue where the host user was unable to send MyCOURT invites after leaving MyPARK/Pro-Am with a squad.
  • Addressed a number of issues with Accolades not unlocking at the appropriate time within MyCAREER.
  • Pressing the back button will no longer cause the game to hang from the MyCAREER NEXT menu after being eliminated from the playoffs.
MyGM/MyLEAGUE
  • Numerous tuning and code enhancements to improve simulated player stats.
  • Playoff games (within a series) can no longer be played out of order in MyLEAGUE Online.
  • Found and fixed a case where visiting certain submenus with no head coach would cause the game to hang.
  • Fans of relocated/rebranded teams will no longer hold up signs referencing the previous identity of the team.
  • Fixed a rare hang that could occur when the ticker referenced a previous game result where all of the players on the team have since been traded.
  • Selecting to load a custom draft class will no longer cause a game hang in the MyGM offseason if you had previously been fired during that same offseason.
NOTE: All patch fixes will work in your existing game mode saves.

I have 100% faith they will get it worked out since when it happened before they fixed it fairly quickly with a PC only patch.
Crap, I only have the Xbox One Elite controller and the Xbox One Lunar Controller.

Directional passing is a lot harder without the icons, I guess I have to start remembering now.

Now that is what I called PATCH NOTES. Fully detailed and posted as soon as the patch is live.

well thats sad to hear as im one of the few people who has zero issues with the performance of the game... however no commentary in 80% of your game makes it unplayable for me, i had this game since release and have played maybe 10 full games, the worst part ? I wanna play it so bad but without the commentary... it's just not worth it for me .
 
# 24 dregos @ 11/02/15 05:16 PM
Generated rookies still all have "Jump Shot 1" for their base jumper... LAME!

This is keeping me from playing MyLeague...

Waiting on patch 3 only 3 months away!

It does run significantly better.

Agree. Unfortunately I'm well past Steam refund policy as this game certainly deserves to be refunded.

So again patch need patching. Next year
 
# 27 BobbyColtrane @ 11/02/15 05:33 PM
REALLY glad to see this is out and its good to hear people's feedback on the performance settings.

I have several different systems I play the game on and my home desktop was fine but my Razer Edge had trouble running the game from certain camera angles. I can't wait to get home and try it out.

This. First they fix sweat for all platforms with the patch which didnt fix it, now they fix commentary for pc with the patch which didnt fix it again ? Im not the one to moan and cry about such things but this is just ridiculous .
 
# 30 sakiboj @ 11/02/15 06:03 PM
Steam should implement that you can refund game in two or three months time since release instead of this 2 hours max play and 2 weeks owned. If that exists 2k would fix this mess or simply stoped releasing it for pc.
 
# 31 dregos @ 11/02/15 06:15 PM
I agree I will not be paying another dollar for a 2K product.
 
# 32 trandoanhung1991 @ 11/02/15 06:41 PM
It's par for the course these days.

2K should man up and offer refunds like WB is doing now with Arkham Knight.
 
# 33 seanie719 @ 11/02/15 07:18 PM
Downloading now. I was having fun before the patch so I'm excited to play.
 
# 34 Kully @ 11/02/15 07:31 PM
Okay, I'm putting the game down for a while. No icon passing really screwed me up.
 
# 35 bcruise @ 11/02/15 08:02 PM
FWIW, icon passing worked fine for me and the audio didn't cut out in my first game post patch.

Studio scene stuttering is definitely improved. I still got some of those wierd foul reaction replays though. Generally it does feel like it's more optimized, gameplay was 60 FPS before patch but I think I picked up a few FPS in the dead ball situations too. Everything on high at 1920x1080.

It looks like the controller problem is limited to people using the xbox one controller as stated earlier.
 
# 37 Ejfalcon9 @ 11/02/15 08:13 PM
I had minimal problems pre patch. Just got it downloaded, I boot up my game and now it freezes on this screen.....

Hmm, could be. I'm using a wired 360 controller and I've never experienced the problem (even when a lot of other people were).

Game works flawless for me everything maxed out. No stutters, no audio drops, end of the quarter highlights run as smooth as the halftime and post game highlights.

I7 5820K
GTX 980
16GB DDR4
Windows 10

Wired Xbox 360 controller

So judging by this and the other fellas' post you need i7 / 16 gigs of ram / 2 gigs of VRAM as a recommended amount in order to play the game. Otherwise your game going to be glitched and messed up. For comparison, official minimal requirements:

Processor: Intel Core2 Duo or better (SSE3 or later)
Memory: 4 GB RAM
Graphics: DirectX 10.1 compatible (512 MB) or better

Either game going to be optimized by the end of this year or we are stuck with same problems for a long time
