The HOF CPU will tell you everything wrong and right with the game. You will see all the cheese in the game, and all of the games best features. This new patch was excellent.
1, Live Ball- This is the closest 2k has gotten to having a live ball since 2k12. This is an excellent addition. There is no reason to speed the game up, and add all these twitchy dribble moves if you are not going to make the ball live. You can no longer just spam moves, and dribble the ball into your defender. The best gameplay patch in years. The HOF cpu used to just spam dribble moves into the defender until they could slide or squeak by. Now that the ball is quasi live the HOF CPU doesn’t spam dribble moves as much.
2. Drifting/Moving jumpers. Moving shots where the offensive player is running parallel or away from the rim have been nerfed. The HOF cpu now will stop and pop. Before the patch, the CPU would shoot moving/drifting threes with anyone. Now they have to stop to shoot with most of the players, and this limits pnr effectiveness to guys who can score off the dribble. Great patch.
3. Speed- The player speed seems to have been adjusted for slower players, and I am seeing much more speed difference between slow and fast players. Great patch.
I am still not a fan of how easy shooting and passing is in this game. Yet, this recent patch is a great improvement and makes the game much better than it was.
