I wish they'd fix this. Its an atmosphere killer. Happening in 2K16 too.

I'm playing online. They didn't slow down the game speed but without speed boost it seems hella slow. Just gon take some time to get used to.

I'm glad the boosting is gone. But I am hoping you can still explode out of moves like the CPU AI like Wall, Westbrook does which is realistic.

I used to have a SF that couldn't boost and it was fun taking ankles using real dribble moves and then the boost came and it was just fools running around you. I'm not gon lie, I made a little PG and learned it. Got really good at it too but it was never really fun...I'm glad that **** gone now. Bouta grab my 6'6 PG with no playmaking skills now...lmao it's gon be a lotta bums at the park now.

Bout to get back into MyPark with all these unskilled fools running around, looking forward to it.

# 31 Caelumfang @ 05/02/16 08:19 PM

So what's the Break Starter accuracy lowered to? Because we're experimenting and still getting insane accuracy numbers.

# 32 martintin86cuervo @ 05/02/16 08:28 PM

Okay we get it, please leave it alone. Let's get back to impressions of the patch, otherwise you're going to help de-rail this thread and get it locked.

# 34 Caelumfang @ 05/02/16 08:35 PM

So, experimenting with the size-ups, and not only did they remove the speed boosts, they completely slowed down the crossovers out of the size-ups. Now you get a much, much slower crossover out of every single size-up. I can understand removing the speed boosts, but the crossovers? Seriously?

# 35 tt500 @ 05/02/16 08:42 PM

It's a band aid for 2k16 to nerf the dribbles and speed boosts. It's good for creating a better simulated game and get cheesers to stop abusing a flawed mechanic which is good. It's better to learn how actual basketball is played and not abusing a flaw in the game.

Hopefully they improve the system for 2k17. But so far this patch is good to stop cheesers.

2k is fun before cheesers find a flaw in the game to abuse, past couple months, most people online have the same strategy and annoying play style of turbo, outlet passes and hopsteps.

That's what I was scared of. Maybe they should have just waited till next year. So they could do stuff right. We should still be able to explode out of stuff.

But I really think this patch was mainly so people in the RTTF tournament wouldn't be boosting and throwing full court passes. Could you imagine the championship game being broadcast and all you see is boosting and full court passes?

Stfu and leave already....holy ****....

Wish they nerf these centers that shoot threes with ease. They really need to lock out some dribble animations for the centers as well.

# 38 Hustle Westbrook @ 05/02/16 08:45 PM

Any Play Now Online/MyTeam players notice a difference online?

Now now you don't want the game looking like an arcadey mess now lol

I guarantee you if it weren't for the tournament we won't be seeing By changes till 2k17.

I never wanted speed boosting removed because I always assumed it would also reduce the ability to naturally burst / launch appropriately.

I'm on XB1 and haven't experienced the patch gameplay yet...
