Does anyone know if this patch fixed the CPU double team in post setting being on manual at start of a game rather than auto, as per the other thread? Can someone check who has the patch for us?

So after really not liking this game pre and post patch with my PG career, I played my center career this morning and this patch has made this game worse.

If I get the ball in a half court setting, I'm instantly now double teamed regardless of what's happening. It happened on the first possession of the game and every possession after that for the whole game. I'm the center. The CPU now have more arms flailing everywhere to intercept even more passes ridiculously.

The defence is even worse than it was before the patch for team mates. I only play park and career and I'm now completely back playing 2k15 career and 2k16 park because the game plays horrendously for me now.

I play HoF sim. I'm winning these games, but it's horrible to play and superstar sim is just way too easy to hold my interest. Just interested to know what other career players have found with this patch, but the game wasn't great before the patch, but it's now much worse.

Apart from park. Love what's happened in park.

Has this patch been released in Europe yet? The game doesn't ask me to update.

I'm

After this new patch my players just DROP the ball so much. Very little D and they completely lose control and turnover. It needs to be tweaked. No reason a 99 would just lose the ball with basic D on him.

Yup. Not sure what's this about but it's extremely annoying. I'm trying to play the drive and kick game and I can't even do this because b4 I can kick the ball out Curry losses the ball. It was in the game pre patch where guys lose the ball but now it's absolutely ridiculous.

How do you NOT run the pick and roll as the Warriors and call yourself sim? O_o

How do you not "personally care" for the most often run play in basketball and assert anything about what "sim" should be?

How?!

Because b4 the patch I felt pick N Roll was to OP in the game. If your offense was spaced properly like in the PACE offense, their was nothing the defense could do to stop it. I don't like running cheesy plays like that. Before the patch u could run pick N roll 10xs and score 8 or 9 out of time. That's to easy, to OP. I want a challenge, not some play I can run for a sure 2 points. There's a reason why 2k dumb down this play, obviously. I run pick N fades with the warriors. Or a pick for curry to create space to shoot.

Pre-patched, online was riddled with guys running the same pick N roll play. And if they didn't get a good roll or pick they will run it over and over until they got the desired movement for the easy 2. And when I say people ran this play a lot I mean literally every freakin time down court. I admit, I got abused by this until I finally came up with my own defensive fix that worked consistently.

So no, I'm not going to run cheesy plays for easy 2s. I'm not going to do the same play over and over like these other users online. I like to swing the ball, work the post, and create open looks for my shooters.

Awww man, I would of liked it more if charges actually worked better this year and only known floppers would be the ones pulling those stunts. Thanks 24.

The 3pt shooting success is a bit excessive now, also contested dunks and layups made happen too often now. Tone down the sliders to a midpoint of what they were originally and what they are now, it should likely be perfect. Also now that the excessive blocks are gone it seems like guys got free reign to attack the rim non stop. We need a bit more increase in fatigue and PLEASE input the charging animation or increase the slider as guys constantly attacking are running over the planted defender or posterizing them. It's beginning to look like an arcade fest online.
The full court passes need adjusting. Guys grab a rebound and swing the ball full speed ahead, regardless of the passer it gets to the teammate immediately. There needs to be more turnovers and the speed of the ball slowed down. A possible solution to this is to use the lob pass animation for full court passes instead to make it a bit more realistic looking as far passes usually float in the air for far distances. Also, the game speed appears increased which should be slowed back down a bit and user controlled players (offense/defense) while using turbo need to be slowed down a bit aswell. The body-up system needs to be slightly increased and the things adjusted above re-adjusted with a slight tweak and the game should be perfect.

That's fair. Pick and roll defense was horrendous. Some amount of props for trying not to cheese it.

That said, the pick and roll is hugely important, and I think we should want it to be modeled accurately even if we've weaned ourselves off from it for certain reasons. Sim guys cannot just personally not care about what's core basketball. Heh.

I am not liking the vids of the pick and rolls. Seems like a quick fix to not make the roll man really roll. Just get the rotations right. I didn't have no issues w/ the pick and rolls in previous 2Ks I don't believe.

Also the double teaming soon as you cross half court seems silly as well. Other than those things, I am looking forward to this patch. Especially online. Hopefully, the good outweighs the bad for me.

It's insane, my players lose the ball way too much. If I make contact with the defense the ball hits the floor and is scooped up for a steal. I did see this quite a bit pre-patch, now it seems to be more prevalent.

2k, I have a quick question for you:


How many bald headed rookies(beside Adrien Payne) did we have in like the last decade?

As soon as you get to the answer of that question, you will see what I am getting at. lol

I mean I know I can edit(which I do) but give these bruh's some hair. We went from all afros to all bald heads. At least their hair is natural color this time around though. No more Sisqo's or George Hill dudes all the time.

And Yes I did just complain about hair(or lack thereof). Sue me.

Thanks Sundown. And I care, but I don't care to an extent. I play strictly online and I got abuse by this play over the first month. And guys ran this play 30xs a game. So not seeing it for awhile is GREAT for me. Over the last few weeks I truly found a fix to stop it and got steals 75% of the time. As u mentioned, the defensive A.I. was horrendous, so I had to manually hold them back to stay in position to defend the roll. And when timed right, they got the steal.

The way 2k addressed this in the patch I do not agree with. My concern with video games devs in general is instead of a true fix, they fix it in a unnatural manner that creates another problem. Like how fixing the zig zag cheese effected realistic basic shots off the dribble.

But far as pick n roll, when the user calls a play, the game should reflect that. Not stall the roll or not roll at all like the player is dumb and forgot his responsibility. I think 2k should have addressed this by improving the defensive A.I. and soft hedge logic.
