Not necessarily, people complain either way....as you can see many complained defense was too tight before. If they adjust it again, some will complain about that. It's inevitable. That's not to say each side doesn't have some valid points....but everyone has their preference...

The change works well and is a lot more realistic offline against the AI....nowhere near impossible to play on ball D.....

Online, where people can wiggle the stick and make all kind of crazy movements...it's a lot harder to play on ball D, and though no it's still not impossible to play OBD it could maybe use a bit of a boost- a temporary fix would be increasing your defensive assistance if you're having issues...

Everyone has their own preferences. I liked the defense better before patch 3. I play without any assist all at zero i like being fully in control of my player.I love the game by the way just not to fond of patch 3 cpu morphing and contact not registered wasnt happening before that patch.

Did they fix the unrealistic team stats in ML/MYGM? That is the last thing that need to be fixed for me.

No. Individual stats look a little better but team stats are all messed up

Thanks! I have a XB1, so i could not check it myself

Individual stats were better after the last patch. It seems there are still way too many possessions per game in simmed games. Playing ML it helps when you reset some teams gameplan too slow speed, but that only works in ML. I really want to play a realistic MYGM

Ugh, I still haven't had time to get a game in with the patch. Sounds like it's getting mixed reviews, but personally I've found that on-ball defense has been a little overpowered in my time with the game. I mean, when Russell Westbrook drives the rim, nobody in the league is just cutting him off. You'd better have bigs who are ready to rotate and help. Now if those rotations aren't coming, then suddenly you've overpowered the ball handler. Hopefully there's a middle ground that we'll get to eventually.

At the end of the day, you shouldn't have to use ANY dribble moves to beat a big man off the dribble with an elite ball handler.

Does anybody know what the update was for this morning?


In the one game I played, CPU defense (offline) seemed to be bumping quite a bit again, making it much harder to get past your defender.

It wasn't another patch....just the regular "update available, return to main menu" screen...don't think anything changed unless there was a roster update...

It's these types of misguided statements that lead to things being changed for the worse..

What makes an elite ball handler, "elite"? Generally: it's their ability to perform multiple dribble moves with great difficulty. If they're not doing any dribble moves, what exactly makes them elite? You should be able to get by any big man in the league (forget about their lateral quickness) with any player with a high ball handling rating? Just because?

C'mon.

More than likely roster and shoes update.

Can't believe they didn't address the game speed issue on the park. It's so slow and after the patch it's got even worse.

MyCareer doesn't feel the same anymore as the game feels much slower and my game speed slider isn't making the speed faster, my SG feels very sluggish on MyCareer and MyPark.

And is the mid range game broken now that it was so OP before patch?

C'mon.

Fair enough, maybe I should have clarified. When I think of an elite ball handler, I think of a player who can maintain handling the ball at a high speed, as well as beat even tough defenders with an array of misdirection type dribble moves.

There are only a handful of big men in the league who can remotely stay with one of these kinds of players. Did you see the Chicago/OKC game last week? The Thunder were routinely switching on PnRs, leaving Kanter guarding Rose on the perimeter quite often. Rose was blowing by the guy EVERY time, as if Kanter were a statue out there, and he wasn't using crossovers or behind the back dribbles. He was just exploding past him, because he's a much faster player, even with the ball. A guy like Ricky Rubio isn't exceptionally fast, but you aren't going to see Tim Duncan or Al Jefferson keeping him out of the lane if they're matched up on him at the top of the key, at least not without help.

Basketball is a game of mismatches, so if I'm able to run a play that gets my PG iso'd with a big man, then the defender should be forced to give me space to keep me from blowing right by, literally every time. Again, this doesn't work in a video game unless the defense rotates properly, so having yet to try the patch, I couldn't testify one way or another about that.

One of the things I've loved about this year's game is that when your big man catches a 'mouse in the house', you can easily back them down and score on them if there's no double coming, just like real life. I'd just like to see that ideology expanded so that the smaller guys get the same advantage when the shoe's on the other foot.

Re: NBA 2K16 Patch #3 Available Now on PS4, Soon For Xbox One - Patch Notes Included

I actually agree with you DBMcGee3. You don't NEED to do a double move to get past someone. A simple in & out can get your defender leaning. It all just depends on situation and the ballhandlers effectiveness when using the move. For example, a pick set up for you to go left but you crossover to the right. That would not be a double move. And to piggyback off of what you mentioned...mismatches are key.
