Re: NBA 2K15 PATCH #3 IMPRESSIONS THREAD

Man, I wish my experience was as positive as all of yours so far. But in the one game I've played post-patch, it was against the Blazers on SS sim, they kept feeding Kamen non-stop. I also found no difference in putting my hands up. Just swish after swish for Aldridge, didn't seem to matter the pressure I was putting on him. Exactly like before the patch. I was the Pacers, btw.

Have you seen this in multiple games since the patch?

I can say every big man isn't fading away like like prime KG anymore

He said in one game post patch. I'd be surprised if that happened with a team like the Lakers lol

Second game was better. I was Mavericks against Warriors in NBA Today. Game flowed better, but still too many offensive rebounds for my tastes. Sample size is too small I guess, but these posts talking about 'dramatic improvements,' I just haven't seen them. Game is still good for the most part, just not seeing the jump. Maybe I need to take a harder look, I dunno.

Are you guys finding D is more challenging seeing as though the CPU shoots 3s now and gets to the line?

Its not that it is more challenging, but it feels more organic / realistic. With the threat now of the CPU launching 3's and actually attacking the basket in a more 'reasonable' way, leads to defensive adjustments that the HUM has to make throughout the game. As for playing D, it feels SO much better now. No unnecessary 'sliding' and you can actually feel the weight of the players and if you anticipate the CPU's move by shading his strong hand and trying to force the CPU to their weak side, you can truly play some lock down D....But nothing is guaranteed....The CPU's star players can abuse you if you don't make the necessary adjustments.

Overall, this patch is quite impressive and very evident that the 2K team has listened to the community (our OS community)!

I'm finding that you must decide what you want to take away and what you're willing to give up. prior to the patch, you could just pack the paint and stagnate the cpu's offense.

Now, you decide, do you try to take away the inside game, the 3pt shot, or try to do both. I find myself constantly making changes to my defense as the game goes on. Offense as well, as the cpu will adapt to what it is that you're doing successfully.

This patch was good. Hopefully in the next one they will rescan Dwyane Wade and make him a new body type. His arms are a little smaller this year as he lost some weight and his calves are WAY smaller than what they gave him in the game. His legs look like tree trunks

Do you mean the pixelation on the intros when the stadium lights shine on the player? That really bugged me!

Honestly the patch made defense easier for me . I don't slide around as much , my timing is better on blocks /steals . online too. The delay was pretty bad pre-patch.

So many interactions that were plagued with head scratching moments just seem to make sense now. And suspention of disbelief goes a LONG way in terms of enjoyment when engaged in a virtual battle.

And not only is it commendable 2k addressed so many legitamate concerns, but that they balanced them so well.

I dont want to over-hype the patch, but if you have put in a bunch of time with the game and are detail oriented, the improvements will really shine.
