Re: NBA 2K15 Patch #4 Available Now, Primarily Addresses Shoe Issues

The more I play 2K15, the more it looks like they just put out Patch 2 with a fix for the regression issue. People just shoot better because they got used to the nerfed shooting of patch 3.

Man shooting is too easy.. They didn't need to tweak jump shooting, all they needed to do was tweak layups, there were way too many blown layups before the patch.. But now everything goes in.. This game has exausted me this year as far as gameplay.. Features are perfect tho.

[Lakers24win]

On a side note... I have a bold prediction that madden 16 will rival 2k16 for best sports game next year.. Watch out for madden 16.

"Basically open shots were boosted and covered shots were dropped, so it's important to contest everything now or you'll see some high %s."

So before everyone claims shot are too easy, re-evaluate the defense that is being played.

Sorry Mike, but this is not realistic...

In real life some players have a wide open shots for all game and not made even 70% of this.

For default sliders in HOF now, wide open = + 90% made! This is not cool.

@nova91 I play mostly quick games, but also MyGM and MyTeam.

Superstar\Sim just doesn't feel right to me right now, can't put my finger on it....Superstar\Default honestly feels a lot better, That's where I've had my best games post patch....It's weird. I'll have to get some more games in.

I'll tell you one thing, I had my 5th annual 2k tourney this weekend and the HOF user vs. user matches were great! Probably the best one yet.

I'm glad you point out superstar/Sim!!

I'd like to share my opinion on certain issues on this level and above that needs to be pointed out. and to see what mode are we really playing?

#1 The cpu doesn't understand there's defense in these games.
#2 The cpu doesn't understand they are not allowed to dribble through the defender and still maintain handling the babasketball.
#3 The cpu doesn't understand they are not allowed to score under the basket easily when surrounded by defenders.
#4 The cpu doesn't understand they are not allowed to hit every open and contested shots at a high %
#5 The cpu doesn't understand they are not allowed to make a player at (67) rating with a (70) standing 3pt steph curry.
#6 The cpu doesn't understand they are not allowed to see where your passing the basketball and then side step and quickly morph to steal are deflect the basketball.

My point are no matter how you play this, inputs settings sag off double teams, these dam!! AI will ignore every settings and do anything to win. and that's where the game starts to play ugly and gets unrealistic.

I don't mess with sliders because if you have to dum down the cpu to have a advantage i might as well lower the levels.

The last patch is great. I play hof sim online 12 min quarters and everything is very realistic to me. Shooting was horrible before the patch with the shot glitches. Now you have to play good defense. Its up to beds to give out realistic ratings. But an 80 rated shooter should hit open shots consistently.

I have seen people (post patch) score 70 pts in a 12 min hof sim online game. I have seen people score 80 or 90. I have also seen people go for 120. These things all happen irl. Its on you to play defense, just like real life. There is a reason why people shoot a lower percentage vs. Golden state then they do vs. The sac kings.

If you play defense and contest shots then scores will be realistic. If you giving up wide open shots to good shooters then unrealistic defense leads to unrealistic offense.

Great job 2k hands down the best sports game ever.

this only makes sense when you are actually going against another human.

when youre playing the CPU and shooting 60% against them, how can you "re-evaluate" the defense that the CPU is playing against you?

This. I can literally make 8/10 or 9/10 of every jumpshot right now on superstar sim.

yep. people dont understand the percentage of open jump shots that NBA players actually make. they dont go in 80% of the time.

also, on 2k, its a lot easier to get an open look then it is in the NBA. if i pass the ball around long enough and run plays, set screens etc, i can get an open shot the majority of the time on 2k. and if im taking mostly open shots, and making them at an insanely high clip, then the game becomes unrealistic.

I dunno, but this may be true. If only because the shooting percentages went back to the way they were. When I started, teams were shooting 60% in MC sometimes... and I don't wanna hear anything about playing D. Then it was less than 50. Keep in mind, I never leave people open. They get open, though. The computer staggers more. You can cross someone and step back and make an 'open' jumper' and the computer will lose the computer. So, in order to avoid these high shooting games, you have to play D on every breakdown. Well, we all know the computer is great with their jump passing so it's like feeding them a teammate grade when you move. I think it can be done sometimes, but for a whole game... no.


Also, dudes jump differently for rebounds, I think. Which is good. But in terms of misses, I went from 30+ rebs per game on my bigs and 15 on my SG to more like 20 and 5. Not saying other people are getting these boards, either. It seems to me that there are that many more made shots. Good or bad? I dunno.

Re: NBA 2K15 Patch #4 Available Now, Primarily Addresses Shoe Issues

It was tweaked. Pre patch almost every player 28 and up would go down -3,-4, or -5 points. Now it's different. You rarely see players lose -5 points. There are even some players that are in their 30s and they go up by +1. Injuries seem to play a role in rating loss. If a guy misses half the season because of injury, he will perhaps drop -2 or -3 at any age. Still, this doesn't happen every time. The tweak made regression much more better and realistic. Players will still regress, but at a realistic pace. You won't see players like Dwade overall 73 or lower after two/three seasons.

Also, not just shooting sliders need to be changed but more or less all sliders. It was a complete gameplay haul, not just shooting was affected.

Thanks for the heads up on the sliders, guess I'll get back in the lab to find what I had before the patch. Sucks because games were competitive and playing just the way I liked it. But getting rid of unrealistic regression will be worth it.

Just got back from a work trip and fired up 2K15 but when I checked for an update, it said I already had the latest version installed. If I had the PS4 in standby mode, would it have automatically updated the game (I have a digital copy)?
