    NBA 2K16 Patch #4 Available For PlayStation 4, Xbox One & PC - Details Included

    Patch 4 isn't bad for me. I just hate Mike changed the shooting. 3s shouldn't be easier to make than midrange shots. I thought he'd give us updates when he'd change the shooting %s.

      Got a chance to play some NBA Today games the other night against the cpu. It seems a little easier to get by the cpu and a little harder to create contact on players. This creates a much more wide open game than prior to patch 4. This lack of contact can also create some wonky looking moments which have been displayed in some videos in this thread. I really wish they would have just triggered more instances of forced dribble pick ups when people dribble into traffic as a substitute for the various loose ball situations prior to patch 4 that people complained about. A forced dribble pick up would reward the defense when in good position yet give the dribbler an opportunity to keep possession(even though they may be in a bad situation). This may have kept both camps happy without making serious changes that may piss off a certain segment. I'm still a little confused about the cpu defensive rotations but overall I think this patch is a decent one..

      EA and 2k have the unfortunate task of trying to balance on a tightrope of fun and sim while trying not to fall 10,000 feet to their death. Instead of a safety net waiting down below there will just be angry customers quick to move out of the way and talk of their failure.

        These are my reactions after 4 games:

        Don't lose the ball anymore dribbling, at all. You can go right into the defense and the ball stays; they should've kept a balance but now we're onto the other extreme imo.

        Can't hit shots to save my life, it seems like the already inconsistent 3's are even more inconsistent. Deadeye, Limitless Range, and Microwave and I'll shoot below 30% being wide open...nah, that's bogus.

        My friend plays at center, has max inside scoring/athleticism/defense/rebounding.
        He can easily grab 20 boards a game, but can't hit inside shots at all anymore. Has post move badges but is missing even on mismatches in the post.

        Contact layups seem like they're completely gone, unless you're not near anyone I haven't seen anyone making any at all.

        The worse parts now:

        So many pump fakes getting called into fouls. I'm seeing hands up defense now being sucked into animations; not good at all. My friend got called on a foul perfectly contesting a 3 with no contact at all...it was almost hilariously bad.

        Every person in the world can reach on a drive and get a steal. Stealing was toned down? But it's actually worse...makes sense.
        I had 5 turnovers in a game, all off reaching on a drive. By a help defender...on the opposite ball hand.....but it's not a foul........riiiight.

        The good?:

        I have a little more control of my player.....that's it....literally.......

        Wow yo, I don't think I've EVER had such a negative experience playing 2K in my life. Even the infamous patch 4 on 15 wasn't that bad too me. People were hitting everything but I just gunned right back..and I was always a good scorer.
        I pray that this was just a fluke, and maybe the connection is off or it needs to be tuned a little more or SOMETHING...

        But honestly yo, (IMO, key words) this is the worst patch I've ever, ever seen.
        They've strayed so very far away from what I remember on day 1. I'll take all the crazy blocks from guards over what happens now any day. To me, this game out of the box was nearly flawless...I'm so disappointed in this game right now it's crazy.
        Kind of been my experience in the pro am too. The post game is pretty much pointless in the pro am. Can't finish gimme layups . Maxed inside and can't finish over guards. When the game first came out you could punish smaller players. You still can if you manage to dunk on them. also I boxed the computer out and they called over the back on me? What's the deal with that? The CPU is some kind of auto box out magnet. Also the gameplay is much faster.

        On the other hand I have no problem shooting with my guard. I can do post moves without losing the ball (even though I don't hit any drop steps, barely hook shots , up and unders, etc ... Only the post fade works ) I think the pro am was a lot more sim and fun out of the box.

          Guys who are getting a lot of fouls, stop using automatic contest shots. It really makes a big difference, its like cheating honestly the way people expect easy shots and you can swat them

            I'm seeing the same thing it's just to easy to blow by the cpu and the defensive logic is not up to par sometimes...
            I would love to have the original defense before that first patch!!!!

              Yep, I use to have some struggles scoring PIP myself, but now its pretty easy for me to score in there, which is disappointing. I really do feel the game played better out of the box for us offline guys than it does now unfortunately. Sadly that seems to be the way the devs are going nowdays, for the last few years its 100% about how online players feel, and they seem to overlook what any of us say about offline, especialy when it comes to My League/My GM.

              I do think a few of the issues might be able to be addressed with slider work, but imo we shouldnt have to spend half the year adjusting sliders to get the game as close to real life as possible, especially considering there selling point is its a true simulation of the real game, so to me that means it should play that way out fo the box, and if you want more of a arcade game then adjust the siders to make it arcade.


              I really wish at this stage of my life that there was a great basketball text sim, as much as I love actually playing video games, the lack of work that the devs do with My League/MY GM each year makes me really wish there was a basketball text sim that rivaled that of OOTP baseball's text sim. Unfortunately there isnt one or I havent found it. Or a new basketball company would start to make a NBA vidoe game that was all about making a true sim, meaning stats were spot on and Association was there main forcus so it didnt have major issues. I dont see that happening though as I dont think anyone would take that risk with a NBA game with how well NBA2k sales are. From a business standpoint that would be a awful huge risk that in this day and age probably would be worth taking, as IM not sure there are enough of us diehard basketball fans that are all about Association mode, seems there are so many casual's that the online overtakes us, not to say all online players are casual's, but it does seem that the casuals tend to put the online over the top of us hardcore basketball fans of Association mode.

                This was honestly the first time I've ever been so mad at 2K I straight up refused to play for a couple days lol

                I loved this game out of the box, if I could've changed anything it would be guards getting crazy blocks and so many pump fake fouls...
                Other than that I was fine with everything.

                Remember you used to be able to overpower bad post defenders and dunk on them quickly? Now it takes the full 5 seconds back to the basket to get a poster on a point guard.
                Post shots don't even work anymore. Ever since patch 3, all these bums do is post up and press X near the rim and they score; no shimmy, no head fake, no drop steps...nope just one button and it was a foul or a bucket.
                Meanwhile I'm over here making fools look stupid faking them out their shoes, and I miss open layups once they're faked outta the play...

                Now I'll get to my shooter:
                I understand basketball, so I understand a "perfect" release wide open doesn't fall every time. But when I'm open with a 90 3 point shot and I'm missing over and over I just give up lol
                And once you make an outside scorer trying to go inside for easy looks to get a rhythm isn't gonna happen now...can't hit contested layups at all. Like you said, not even max inside big men are hitting em.

                Offline, or even playing against friends is okay. I never really saw the patches effect the game as much as it does online modes like Park and Pro Am.
                I still have close games, fun games in My Career and stuff like that....

                It's just, whether or not it was listening to them bums again, bad basketball keeps getting rewarded and it annoys me. Day 1 I remember playing smart always won you the game..now I'm playing 2K basketball in Pro Am not actual basketball.
                I don't wanna be Jordan, I don't wanna be Bird or Isiah, I don't wanna be any of those guys.
                I want to look in the mirror and say I did it my way.

                  As a big man this sounds terrible. Ugh...

                  I will still play the park with my brothers since I find that fun. As for h2h games...naw I'm staying away from that like the plague. It would just piss me off...come to think of it if I played mostly online games I would've been banned a long time ago from OS due to me complaining lol

                    I havent played the game in maybe 6-8 weeks simply because it was infuriating as someone who never plays online. Having downloaded this latest patch I must say the game is at the best state it has ever been. I actually had fun with it again today. For all those guys who are so "sim" that they want the ball to go loose everytime it hits off a toe...I'm glad the devs didnt listen to you.

                          The game plays great so far.

                          I've seen it discussed a bit here. Corner threes are more efficient than midrange jumpers. Only a hand full of elite players consistently hit midis

                            Yep running into a defender fully contested and just pressing square works better than doing post moves faking a defender out etc... In the pro am. Killed my big man experience . I'm still winning games but it feels arcadey now . And it's becoming a chore. Never considered quitting 2k in the middle of the basketball season . The rest of the game I'm still enjoying.

                            As a shooter which jumper are you using ? My shots have been money . A lot of people say the midrange game is broke but what are y'all close shot rating those matter too.

                              Don't know, game is playing well for me in the modes I frequent: PNO/offline/Pro Am, I just wished they wouldn't have touched shooting other than contested layups...I rarely complain about shooting but eventually we need to settle on some settings.

                              As far as blowing by guys, I'm assuming you guys aren't playing SS/SIM? because it feels like they boosted everyone's OBD on that setting....it actually feels more like it did out of box....minus the warping- which is honestly pretty annoying now that we've come this far....lol

                              Even with the complaints- having a lot of fun playing

Having downloaded this latest patch I must say the game is at the best state it has ever been. I actually had fun with it again today. For all those guys who are so "sim" that they want the ball to go loose everytime it hits off a toe...I'm glad the devs didnt listen to you.
                                agreed - it feels very tuned.
