NBA 2K15 PATCH #3 IMPRESSIONS THREAD

Re: NBA 2K15 PATCH #3 IMPRESSIONS THREAD

Worse 2k out of all of them. Game was definitely pushed out unfinished.

I dont know whos idea that hesitation dribble was, but its one of the worse ive seen. I mean absolutely horrific. Kills the entire game for me.

Im still getting frame rate drops throughout the game. Didnt really like 2k14 but ill take it over this.

Super easy to throw alleys, the game is just moving in the direction of arcadey and pick up and play.

They really need to define whats the difference between a good shot and a bad shot in the game. So that whenever the user takes a shot whether it be good or bad the outcome is actually determined by the shot they took. As of right now it doesn't matter. I see some of the most ridiculous shots going in and it just makes you scratch your head.

Few things:

I'm not sure what happened, but it seems like they fixed the game with the second patch and left a couple things out, only to go back and fix the "couple of things" and screw up the game again.

My teammates are no longer grabbing defensive rebounds in MyCareer (unlike how it was fixed in the 2nd patch).

The CPU is hitting every open 3... Even with a hand in the face... (Then it's like they miss every 3 in the 3rd QT)...

They're fouling me and sometimes clothesline me and my teammates in mid air w/o a foul call, but the CPU get foul calls with us going straight up... (It's only being called for us when the game realize how skewed it is, so it seems, which is completely different than after the 2nd patch)...

Blocks? Lol...

I'll say on ball defense is much better and I no longer slide as much. I can hit 3's with my player "better" than before patch 3 (which was 30% with maxed out shooting and now it's up to over 40%)... That's me, but my teammates seem to miss shots (especially at key moments) while the other team is hitting them with hands in their faces... Handles and such are better and more of a chess match vs the defense which is good...

I just don't like the gimmicks 2K still employ...

For instance: I played good team defense and even tipped the ball pass the half court line out of bounds under my basket.. 2 seconds left on the CPU shot clock. They inbound it and throw a full court heave, BANKS the damn shot.. I'm losing, how is this f'ng possible? They make every shot with the shot clock under 5 seconds..

Loose balls only go towards the CPU... Never to you... Playing against the Hawks, Kyle Korver passes the ball to the other side of the court.. Hits the rim and it PERFECTLY lands back in Kyles hands while my guy is completely clueless. Which happens all the time... My guys don't know where s**t is... The ball could be next to them and they don't get it... Also, if the CPU can't get the tip ball then the ball becomes a 90 mph fast ball and goes directly out of bounds... Only when you touch it... When the CPU touch it, it's in play only for them..

Honestly, just go back to the previous patch and fix the defense sliding again. Also fix the shoe issue in MyCareer. What's the point of signing to a company if you can't equip the shoe?

Re: NBA 2K15 PATCH #3 IMPRESSIONS THREAD

The amount of missed layups and shots under the basket are just ridiculous.


One thing I really like about this year (tho it's quite minor) is the players' names underneath them. Last year it was in white with black outline. This year the text is all white, which blends in more and doesn't stick out as much, which is a very good thing.


Next year, I think they could make the text a little smaller and skinnier. It'd look even better.

It's so annoying. My teammates will have position right under the basket, and literally just stand there while the computer grabs the ball.

Re: NBA 2K15 PATCH #3 IMPRESSIONS THREAD

Got the game yesterday and really like it (though I wouldn't know what it played like before the patches). However, there's something that's bugging me: I play using the broadcast cam, and when I shoot free throws there's a player standing there and blocking the view of the shot meter. Is there a work around, without changing camera?

EDIT: It happens while playing in Houston. The player standing behind the 3pt line is blocking the view.

Re: NBA 2K15 PATCH #3 IMPRESSIONS THREAD

Not a giant fan of the patch. Would prefer it if I could roll it back. I get that the developers walk a line between those who love SIM play and those who prefer more video game like play. But this patch pushed the envelope a bit too much towards SIM.

The decrease in dunks- I guess I understand. Yet- two or three times per game- I go to the rim- and the ball just falls out of my hand. Not blocked- just comes out. Counting as a missed shot.

Too often both I and my teammates miss uncontested layups.

Unable to dunk on an offensive rebound putback. The CPU seems able to do it- but my 6"10 small forward is unable to dunk if he is too close to the rim.

Blocks are much more difficult to achieve- also a push towards SIM. I've had the CPU shoot the ball thru my hand on several occasions.

My player feels slower and less responsive overall. I'm trying to compensate by adjusting the game speed- but haven't found the right speed yet.

Still have the issue of not being able to challenge shots under the rim. If the CPU gets an offensive rebound and goes back up for a shot- no matter how hard or often you attempt to block- my player will not jump.

CPU cheese is still alive and well. In a game a few days ago Brooks Lopez dribbled the ball between his legs a few times and then threw a behind the back pass to a streaking teammate for an easy bucket. I tried stripping Lopez in the post about 10 times during the course of the game- and was unable to even knock the ball out. On the other hand- I dribbled into the paint twice and was stripped by the CPU.

Good shooters bricking wide open short corner threes- I mean Kyle Korver really is a bad shooter in this game. He should make 50% from three and closer to 60% on short corner threes.

Just my gripes. Compelling game- but occasionally enormously frustrating- enough to make me want to scrap My Career and just play My League with a created player. In that feature- I can adjust sliders, teammates shot selection, jerseys, shoes, etc.

I hope NBA Live gains a bit more traction and forces 2K to up the ante. They've had a monopoly and it shows.

Korver cant shoot well because his jump shot is glitched.

Re: NBA 2K15 PATCH #3 IMPRESSIONS THREAD

Yeah, thats what I did. I play on All-Star and while its close to sim there are some areas where the computer gets a small advantage and thats where sliders come into play. A few tweaks here and there and it plays like a dream for me. Hopefully more people understand that sliders should be adjusted every time you go up in difficulty to compensate for the boosts the cpu gets.

understood.
but why up the difficulty then? i mean, if you have to compensate for the bumps the cpu receives why give the cpu a bump in the first place? don't quite get it.

Re: NBA 2K15 PATCH #3 IMPRESSIONS THREAD

3) pump fakes leave you in a worse position as a ball handler than if you shot the three with the defender flying at you...you either get forced into being obliterated by the guy or you get him in the air, try to step in and go past him, but get stuck and somehow he has all of a sudden landed in front of you to stop you.

i posted this exact problem a while back. this is annoying to me, you can't avoid the defender and step in to take a wide open mid-range shot. i would say it doesn't work 90 % of the time for me.

Re: NBA 2K15 PATCH #3 IMPRESSIONS THREAD

ThIs game will have you going 1-9 on open shots with a 95 rated shooter and have your opponent 6-6 on contested shots including threes smh

Re: NBA 2K15 PATCH #3 IMPRESSIONS THREAD

What version is this patch then? 1.0??

[Rockie_Fresh88]

Re: NBA 2K15 PATCH #3 IMPRESSIONS THREAD

What's a good way to clear rebounds or passes so I won't get instantly stripped?

Noticed this too and it is incredibly annoying. That stupid shoving animation players do when playing physical defense.... CPU does this constantly on any attempt in the paint and RARELY is there a foul called.

I'll say on ball defense is much better and I no longer slide as much.

I disagree, I think defense is completely broken now. I cannot stay in front of the ball-handler to save my life anymore.

Loose balls only go towards the CPU... Never to you...

Agree with this one. The worst is when you're in ISO, the defender slaps the ball out of your hands and immediately picks it up while your guy stands there with this "what just happened?" body language. This never happens to the CPU, they'll instantly pick back up the loose ball.

Re: NBA 2K15 PATCH #3 IMPRESSIONS THREAD

In MyCareer, pretty much every single game is decided by 5 points or less. Anybody else experience this?


I play on All-Star btw.

Re: NBA 2K15 PATCH #3 IMPRESSIONS THREAD

Since Patch #3 I can't hit open shots anymore. Especially in the first half. Similar to Smoove's new video. This happened before but now it's even worse.
People keep saying jump shots are glitched but which are the ones that work?

Defending still feels like you're on skates most of the time, playing NHL Hockey.

Re: NBA 2K15 PATCH #3 IMPRESSIONS THREAD

They need to ditch the razzle dazzle and focus on gameplay.

If i wanna watch shaq or ernie ill watch em for real 100% better.

Fix the game and gameplay first then worry about trival stuff like shoes head bands and halftime shows.
