Re: NBA 2K15 PATCH #3 IMPRESSIONS THREAD

Really like the improvements to gameplay after playing one game it stands right out wow. They really smoothed the gameplay out I was Mav's vs. Lakers SS Sim

• They made the ball more tangible for strips which was killing me playing defense at times before patch .
• Your CPU controlled teammates are a little better at loose balls
• The CPU 3's and pull up jumper's wow to see the CPU attempt 27 3's to my 20. Nick Young comes in off the bench and proceeds to just jack shots like in real life 12 shots in 15 minutes
• They touched up rebounding too the players go after the ball a little bit different.
• CPU teammates play the passing lanes much better yes overall the AI has been much improved can't way to play as a better defensive team.

Really ? The ball seems less tangible for strips to me .

Anyone else notice how shiny the new haircuts look in game? Seriously, it looks like I've got shoe polish on my head. They got me lookin like Carlos Boozer.

Also, I don't know if it's the patch or if it's just a coincidence, but I feel like I've noticed my team mates making stupid passes back to me a lot more since the patch. I'll pass it to an open guy in the paint, and instead of going for a layup or a dunk he'll throw it back to me. It used to happen quite a bit before, but I've definitely noticed it happening a lot since I downloaded the patch.

The game still definitely runs a lot smoother. PLays seem more on point. I just played the Pistons, and there was Monroe getting the ball in his spots, KCP doing what he does. Josh Smith went 4/17, and 0/7 on 3s. Nice.

The major, major negative of this patch (and it shouldnt be underestimated) is that the transition game has been nerfed somewhat.

No, I dont want a dunk fest, but it was perfect IMO.

Now, that brickwall sensation is back, where your guy is steaming forward and is stopped and shoved back.

Ive played 3 games, and scored 10-12 fastbreak points each time (which is about average) but Ill keep looking at it.

Re: NBA 2K15 PATCH #3 IMPRESSIONS THREAD

I don't mind if I'm missing a lot of jumper / open looks.
Why I don't like about the patch is the increase foul on shot contest in the paint. Every time I contest, a whistle is blown. People I played are getting bailed out just by driving to the hoop. Every time I got beaten on D, I tried to switch out and tried to contest, but a foul is called every time. And sometimes my controlled player will do the animation where it will make a hard foul or just grab the offensive player where all I wanted to do is jump and contest the shot. Really frustrating playing D like this.

My last two online quick match, I was outscored in the FT line 19-5. FT throw attempt is what killing me online.

It feels like a bailout huh lol?

And the fact that the offensive player gets every blocked shot tipped ball back just cost me the game. I blocked the shot and dove for the ball. My guy lays on top of the ball and the offensive player grabs it off my head and hits the game winner . This happened to me before but it's sickening at this point

Pick & Roll is still broken!

The guy who sets the screen will always get a pass from the CPU before he even gets a chance to get open. It kills the flow of the game in CPU vs CPU.

Anyone else seen this.

You may not have the Patch. Play as the Bucks and see if Larry Sanders has goggles. If he does you have the patch, no goggles no patch. Hope this helps

To me it fells like it. I can't contest without blowing a whistle. Sometime I don't even bother pressing the triangle, I just use the stick to contest hoping the offensive player will miss.
What really irks me is when my bigs (A. Len, M.Plumlee, M. Morris) will contest a smaller player, e.g. point guard. Instead of using their size and just jump and goes for a block, they will smother the smaller offensive player resulting for a foul.

In my last two online games alone, I have an instance where my opponent goes for 5 consecutive trips to the FT line and that's just in the 1st qtr.

Re: NBA 2K15 PATCH #3 IMPRESSIONS THREAD

Is it me or is making FT harder? i keep looking at the player motion instead of the meter and i couldn't get a single perfect release with players i usually do.

Re: NBA 2K15 PATCH #3 IMPRESSIONS THREAD

In my career shots are falling at the rate they were before but a long as I beat LeBron for MVP I can't complain.

The defense is amazing online however....at the same time it's almost too good to be true lol. A lot of poking the ball lose goes on now as opposed to before. I'm able to stay in front of people I shouldn't be able to and even when I'm a step late on a rotation the close out speed is so fast it's like I never missed a beat.

I think the reason we get so fed up with missing wide open shots is because we play so many games and watch people hit contested shots at a higher rate. I'm 50/50 on how I feel about the entire thing.

I enjoy that the cheesers are almost obsolete in the park/rec but at the same time a lot of the fun stuff is gone. It feels more like a chore instead of an exciting aspect of the game. When they fixed the dunks now you barely see em outside at all. And I had just grinded for posterizer now it's useless.

I don't mind the barebones gameplay in the rec but I thought the whole point of the park was to play an outside "Rucker park" arcadey style.

Re: NBA 2K15 PATCH #3 IMPRESSIONS THREAD

loving defense online. the past 10 games or so I've been able to hold opponents to around 40% shooting with the blazers. 50+ used to be the norm.

I'm still convinced that the hands up animation is glitched. fouls get called way too much when you have hands up (not even jumping). also I'm seeing a lot more hard foul animations not being called at all (offline and online) since patch. used to be automatic. (more specifically the animation where the offensive players gets turned 180 in the air)
