Something that's aesthetic and not gameplay related is a lesser of evils, IMO.

It's not as important as gameplay, but I said annoying. Which it is for some users. It's not that big to me, but I am glad it's getting fixed because it adds to the immersion. Also they have some cool cut scenes sometime. So I am going to be optimistic and hope nothing messes up. At least be off the court.

I've adjusted CPU on-ball defence, stealing, and everything else that's been suggested to me. I made a topic about this a couple of weeks ago and a couple of people knew exactly what I was talking about. You can't dribble for too long without colliding into an opposing player and letting the ball go loose. It's really frustrating and kills the fun completely. Please fix this, 2k!

....Then you are not judging your spacing correctly for the moves you are trying, sir. In this situation, I'd be willing to bet what you're trying to do is the problem. I did not have this problem, aside from day 1-2 of patch three. After I sat down and played for awhile I figured out what I can get away with.

Practice and experiment, this game isn't just handing you the lane anymore.

I am judging my space correctly. This doesn't just happen to me, it happens with the CPU too, and if that's happening too much with the CPU, then it's more than just dribbling that needs to be tweaked. I don't have to be doing any ISO. I can take one step forward with a player holding the ball, and he'll bump into the defender, causing a loose ball. It literally happens THAT easily. Has nothing to do with dribbling sometimes...you'll just collide with a defender while simply walking with the ball and it pops loose.

People who experience this problem will understand what I'm talking about. I'm not a picky player and I know what I'm talking about. It needs tuning.

I'm with you Jrocc. I'm glad this is getting addressed. I see jfsolo's point though but it's not like transition cpu d and FT routines can't both be addressed. I can see if fixing FT's would break the game as a reason for not addressing it but I believe Beluba and crew has figured out the issue with FT routines. That transition cpu D though..ugh!

Yeah, I get what he's saying as well. We don't really disagree. I am sure he'd like it to be fixed but he's saying he'd rather it be that than something to do w/ gameplay. I agree.

I miss the FTs and if that or something like that stayed messed up, it would annoy me. But gameplay is most important.

Game breakers or issues are relative sometimes. So selfishly, I hope it's nothing that affects me and how I play 2K. But I really hope there isn't any issues since this is most likely the final patch. That's why I don't want a lot to be tampered with because we all know 2K go the extreme.

What's the co op bug?

I hope they patch in Iversons crossover on MJ animation that LD said was in the game, and actually is not in any way or form.

I would say that they would need decrease to players who's ball control is too high. When I dribble into a crown by mistake or even when I make a first step move, the ball is knocked loose from George Hill and Monta Ellis plenty of times.

Can anyone confirm 2K beats will play after post game or will it be silent during highlight replays

When you play with 2 or more players on one team in any game mode (play now, myleague, etc.) the game will start out fine, till you or the cpu call a timeout or use the d-pad (stats, plays) and then you lose complete control of your player for the entire game. One player will run to the sidelines and the other wont be able to move.. its a mess.

This makes it 100% unplayable. No workarounds either.

I'm having trouble with myplayer post fading towards the wrong shoulder. It doesn't happen 100% of the time but it's enough to throw me off. I'm trying to fade to the shoulder OPPOSITE of the defender but my guy will fade right into him for a contested shot. Using MJs post fade if that matters .

Sometimes what you suggested happens with size-ups as well.

I use absolute right stick and sometimes i tap to right but the size up happens to be left if i'm not mistaken my input to me it feels it does happen. Not all the time but sometimes.

They really need to fix it man. Throws me way off. I know the size up depends on which hand the ball is in. Sometimes they flip. It shouldn't be like that for post fades tho smh I don't even wanna post up anymore . I notice it's more likely to happen if an extra defender is nearby.

# 75 DetroitBreh @ 12/15/15 10:39 AM

WE NEED SIMULATED STATS CORRECTED FOR MY GM AND MY LEAGUE. TEAMS ARE AVERAGING A HIGH OF 25 AND I'VE SEEM A LOW OF LIKE 7 PIP PER GAME. CAN'T HAVE THAT.

# 76 Amaru1984 @ 12/15/15 05:25 PM

We need to have ability to reset the games in the playoffs in MY LEAGUE ONLINE. Right now it's impossible.. Everything is fine in Regular, but when it comes to Playoffs, there's no possibility to this. HELP !
