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

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

I have the PS4 (used to be 360 guy), but man do I feel bad for the XB1 guys. These delays are rather ridiculous.


Microsoft is gonna end up losing customers if this keeps up. Even if it isn't their fault.

Wasn't it the complete opposite when 360 and PS3 were current gen? If I recall PS3 players had to wait just like XB1 players are right now for many games.

I believe this has been an issue way before this patch came out (maybe ever since the game was released), but there are times when you have guys at the scorer's table waiting to enter the game, but then won't enter the game at the next dead ball opportunity. It's usually when the dead ball happens when there's an out of bounds play.

Can't delete the patch, sliders are worthless (even with Real player%).

See all of you in October. #NBA2K16 #TheReturnoftheJedi

When I see the hashtags fall,
It cannot be denied that as a spectacle,
It is a realisation of the mind
I'm standing on a mountain top And letting out a scream
It's the language of the earth,
It is the language of the beasts
There's no point to look behind us,
We left the corpse behind
Because flesh is weak and forms break down,
They cannot last forever.(amen bro)
When I see the hashtags fall fall...

Has the Xbox One received this patch yet? I know 2k said the patch was on its way soon, however when I played this morning things seemed to be the same on my end.

What I want to know as an xbox one strictly offline user is are people having these problems with shooting using real fg%? That's all I use and love the game right now on Patch 3. I use the simworldgaming rosters and sliders which are in tune with patch 3. I'm worried that downloading the patch (whenever that may be) will ruin everything!

Yeah but that was the result of multi million dollar timed exclusivity deals between Microsoft and the companies. Only timed exclusive Sony have was The Stage. For regular updates to the game, it should be universally released.

Of course we have no updates. Again. They patched the game 4 times. Great support. They communicate great on the forums. If they could only be up front and honest about the patch delays and not lie about what happened.

Or you could just buy all your games new to actually support the devs. Game is currently under $20 on Steam, and the devs actually make money since they're selling a new copy rather than a used disk from Gamestop/Craigslist

I'm sure the devs make more than enough money from vc sales.

That's exactly the point. Offline and online are two different gameplay experiences. You can't act like they are the same and fix both of them when offline didn't need to be fixed with perfect releases. Pre-patch any offline user that complained shots were too difficult had sliders to up their shooting percentage. Now people are struggling to lower them.

NBA 2K15 was the perfect basketball simulation in my opinion (offline) with the third patch. This 4th patch has ruined my experience, as I play offline most often. There has to be some way to apply certain patches STRICTLY to online play and if there isn't currently, I really hope the dev's can figure out a way to do so ASAP. It is frustrating to have a game play perfectly(for offline players at least) one day, and then the next day be forced to download a patch that completely changes this... an offline player, in cases such as this, experiences none of the benefit, just the annoyance. It is not always as simple as adjusting sliders when hard coded aspects of the game are altered... the sliders cannot always adequately compensate for the changes; especially those which impact the AI.

This seems to be the principal issue year after year with patches and requests to alter gameplay; Online players want one thing, Offline another. They are two different experience and addressing an issue in one often creates an issue in the other. Each seem to get what they want for a few months, then it goes the other way. There has to be some alternative.

I agree. The only good this patch has done for offline players was help MyLeague regression, and that was a huge thing. However, the shooting is so easy you can get perfect releases with a 30 rating mid range player. What's the point of ratings then? I've been messing around with sliders as have many others, and no matter how much adjusting is done, it still doesn't appear to be as realistic and fun as the gameplay changes in patch 3.

I've also been saying that. Offline and online are essentially two different games. You can't patch this game up and expect that both sides aren't going to be negatively impacted.

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

I agree with many others though as well.

I'm sure it's too easy...

But before it was just a roll of the dice. No matter how well I learned my players I could only get 1-2 green releases a game. Every other time is a complete roll of the dice and based ZERO on skill. It's based on the skill of getting open but not actually shooting. They need to find a good balance between the skill of shooting AND the skill of getting open.

We as a community have a responsibility in this too.

I'm laughing at some of these guys talking about how 'great' 2k was after patch 3, and how patch 4 ruined it....and I'm like "wow, judging 99% of your posts in the forum I figured you thought the game was horrible". This is exactly what I was going for when I made that thread about 2k keeping momentum after patch 3.. We play a part with the nature of feedback were giving...

agreed the game after the 3rd patch fro offline gamers didnt need to be touched.
the experience is ruined.
the game is too heavily offense oriented now. shooting for both user and Ai way to easy.
game plays faster. and now Im back to adjusting sliders. I havent had to adjust sliders sine the 1st week of release.


Id like to know is there away to remove the patch.

God guys it's so stingy. Stop complaining about the patch and download a good roster and fix your sliders and you'll get great realistic results
