Re: Official NBA 2k15 Gameplay Patch Suggestions

Lack of recognition of mismatches is also very bad. Almost a game breaker for me.

How is it realistic that nobody comes for a double team down low if i'm backing down a PG with Dwight Howard? To switch opponents at a pick-and-roll is a standard nba play. So far so good. But in the game right now i don't even pass the ball to my big man. It is no fun to exploit the mismatch in such a way. It's an automatic 2 points.

Mismatches play an important part in the real game. In 2k-basketball games it has no meaning whatsoever. It is like this for years. I'm no programmer, but can it be so difficult to find a solution to that?

I think the problem is that the AI is not aggressive enough at times. Sometimes I pass it to Taj Gibson when he has 6 foot guys on him and he just passes it right back and doesn't attempt to even score or back down in the post. Then when I pass it back again he just throws it back at me and now we are playing hot potato.

Off rebs definitely needs to be fixed. I see rebounders go through and around box outs. I've seen them rocket jump past over and around a box out. Tendencies or ratings need to be adjusted. This alone is killing the game for me.

While going through a boxout should obviously never happen, people go around boxouts in real life regularly. I wouldn't want to see boxouts be so good and so completely about positioning that someone like humphries could never make a last second move around a guy boxing him out poorly.

The numbers I see when I play the computer are typically fairly realistic. Take the twolves/grizzlies game last night. The grizzlies had 10 offensive and 23 defensive and the timberwolves had 19/28. I would say most of my 2k games the teams have 1 offensive rebound for every 4 defensive rebounds, so the video game already seems a bit low. Looking at the rebounding for 2014, it seems like most teams had around 3 offensive rebounds for every 7 defensive.

Precisely what I'm saying on the previous page. Its the putback logic that frustrates people. The offensive rebounding itself is not over powered for the CPU.

After an offensive rebound...all defenders tend to collapse near the ball leaving players wide open at the 3 point lines. This is a known issue in online rank. And this is even in man-to-man defense.

Re: Official NBA 2k15 Gameplay Patch Suggestions

I made my own thread with this post, but I seen this thread so I wanted to put it here as well.....

I play all of my games on Hall of Fame/Default 6 min, so as everyone should expect some BS things are going to happen, but the amount I've seen in this years game blows anything I've ever seen out of the water.

I play about half and half on ball/off ball defense. The movement this year is terrible for human controlled players, which has caused me to play a lot more off ball than I wanted to. I try to make sure I do all of the closing outs and shot contests, if I don't my teammates stand and watch. I tried to play some passing lanes, but all it ever does is get you out of position because your player reacts so slow. The CPU doesn't seem to have the same momentum effect we do. They can be out of position and have unreal recovery time even against players as fast as Westbrook and Rose. I used to force more TO's than anyone I know. Now I'm lucky to force 5 a game.

The CPU offense is almost unstoppable, anytime I can get them to shoot below 55% I feel like I've won the lottery. Any time a CPU player posts up, it's almost an automatic make if they shoot it. Dwight hitting step back jumpers out of the post, Westbrook drilling hooks like Kareem. Bumping them or collision shots almost have no effect on their outcome. I could have Blake Griffin mismatched with a PG on him and he will hardly ever make a post shot, defintely not when he gets bumped by the much smaller defender. I have to give him a clear path so he can just dunk, which he will occasionally miss in the worst possible times.

I can't stand some of the passes my players make. I was just playing and seen a double team coming and instead of throwing over top of it to the open man, my PG tries a straight pass between them and it just goes off of their chest. This happens all the time on post entries and pick and rolls as well. There will be an open man and the play will be broken because they aren't smart enough to make the correct type of pass.

Now I want to talk about rebounding. No matter who I play with I'm getting out rebounded every game, mainly because of the amount of offensive rebounds my team gives up. I played a test game against the Knicks, and I put Dwight, Griffin, and K Love on the same team and started them at the 3-5. My defensive POE was protect paint, play physical, and crash defensive glass. I got out rebounded 31-23, 9 of their rebounds coming off the offensive glass. Second chance points was 14 to 4. I just don't see how all that can happen. I remember twice I missed a shot and had Dwight in position for the offense rebound, but Melo would come out of nowhere and not even get up as high as Howard and yet he would come down with the ball. I think a big problem is that the CPU players react 10 times faster to any loose ball there is. Most of the time that I get a deflection or block it just ends up back in the same players hand and they get an open shot.

I finally had a few games where I shot more FTs than the CPU, but I still don't get the same foul calls that they get.

I'm still not fond of the shooting but it's something I'm getting used to. My offense used to consist of just some regular pick and rolls and isolations, but this year I run plays about 70% of the time. I don't like the amount of open shots I miss though. I understand no one can make everything, but I feel like good ball movement to open shots should be more rewarding than it is on the game.

The gameplay feels scripted more this year than ever. If I have a lead in the 4th, it's automatic that the CPU is going to make a big run. I was up 11 one game with 2 minutes to go and had Josh Smith hit 3 3s in a row to bring them back, while Danny Green missed to open corners 3s for me. I ended up losing in OT.

I've broken one controller in my life playing a game, my controller has already hit the wall 3 times this year but is still together lol. This game just frustrates me so bad sometimes. It's like I know what I want to do and I know what I want my teammates to do, but they just can't comprehend it.

Now that I'm done with all this complaining, I wonder if anyone else is seeing any of these problems or if anyone has any solutions to help. I don't mind the losing. If I play 10 times against the CPU I'll win 6 or 7 of the times and I like the challenge. But I can't stand losing when it comes from unrealistic things happening on the game.

I've got a lot of help from watching Sam Phams videos on this years game, but it can only help so much when the CPU plays perfect basically the entire game.

Patch some on ball defense into to the game to stop the sliding online. Stop putting the defensive player in a "stuck in mud animation "

After playing live and going back to 2k it's hard to get used to controlling the players lol

Re: Official NBA 2k15 Gameplay Patch Suggestions

Please fix the court shine and arena lighting.......The cavs arena right now on TV looks amazing

Re: Official NBA 2k15 Gameplay Patch Suggestions

The center posts to low on the strong side of the triangle, making entry passes a lot more difficult. Also wish I could control when to use "blind pig" as a pressure release against physical defense.

7. League immersion - Give us more information on what's going on in the league please. This ranges from week to week to the post-season to the off-season. I had no idea who won in the finals. I had to actually go look under League History and see that Cleveland beat the Clippers.

Definitely should be patched. Where is the NBA.com? You can't view transactions, playoff seedlings, where FA's went, playoff stats or anything. I just don't understand how things like this gets looked over. Keep the Twitter thing, but NBA.com is needed. Bring back how it was in past 2Ks.

Also the charging needs to be patched. The CPU are drawing charges without even being set and even if you slightly touch them while they are going for the charge it will be called.

Nice to see them trying to draw charges, but it needs to be patched. A lot of the ones they are drawing are really blocking fouls which I rarely see. Always hard fouls.

Were the crazy amount of rebounds and putbacks ever fixed?

Re: Official NBA 2k15 Gameplay Patch Suggestions

And that's without lights and everything all lit up

That's a lot different than what it looks like during the game. You don't see as much glare from the broadcast.

Re: Official NBA 2k15 Gameplay Patch Suggestions

Biggest thing for me is fixing substitutions. Way too many times does the CPU sub out ENTIRE lineups at once. That just never happens.
