    Re: Welcome Back Patch Four! How We Missed You!

    I played some arena Pro-Am today. I had maybe 2 total great contested shots fall on me today over the course of 3 games. So I haven't seen anything too bad, especially when you keep up the defensive pressure. Nothing I've seen even warrants the cries of 'Patch 4.'

    Gonna start laughing, though, when the 7'3" outside centers start getting consistent greens out there because bigs can't get perimeter lockdown defender, and guards are too small to affect their shots. I'm learning to not even get mad at 2k games anymore, because something is always going to get overbalanced or underbalanced, never a true equal ground.

      Re: Welcome Back Patch Four! How We Missed

      Hey guys, just signedup here, been reading for s longer time before!
      The following is only for Park because yesterday i only played this.
      2k badly messed up with the yesterdays update, now we are again at a point where shooting 3s is rewarding you more and taking 2 pointers is, not pointless, but kind of hurts ur team when playing against skilled opponents. I play Outside 6 10 sf and now hit from everywhere. Had some greens from near halfcourt after doing stepback 3s and thats just Crazy and stupid.

      I usually play in a good squad and everyone noticed a mjaor increase on open looks, even outside and BALANCED center hit 7/10 Open threes and thats definitly way to much.
      Me personally, i would say I hat about 8/10 green, but the rest also drops ...
      Yes our Team is taking very good looks, yes we all have dimer and shooting badges, also we had only 1 loss out of 25 Matches played in park,but we had no fun anymore.

      The only thing 2k didnt completly mess up is, that contested looks domt drop the same way as the open ones do, so if you stay thight and closeout well, everything is nearly as it was! But we all know that for skilled guys who play 3v3 proper its no problem getting Open looks, and we play without speedboostguys, usually 2 sg 1 sf..

      I hope the open look percentage gets a tone down ASAP, but for now mypark and I believe also proam (havent played) is done.

      Also I would like to send a little rant to all of you guys who said Park should be Arcade and more greens, more scores, easyeasy criers... Learn to play! Really! Its not even more to say.. How can someone want this **** going on since yesterday, its like playing on rookie casual..

        If you are open on the 3pt line, it is green. 95% chance of going in. That, IMO is broken.

        Agree, Disagree?

                Nah. It's sad that 2k can't balance it right. Just cause people wanted to hit wide open shots after defensive faults or miscommunication, better then contested leaner, didnt mean they had to raise the percentage so that u can pull up from midcourt and get green.

                They need to show exactly what they changed so we, as a community, can give real feedback.

                  Open shots were hittable, just not as much as some would have liked....which is basketball, not every open shot should be automatic in some people's view...it's impossible to balance it right for everyone, but it's apparent they listened to the folks acting like they were shootIng under 10% every game because they weren't seeing the majority of their shots go in...

                    We've gone from 40 to 95-98. When we should have gone from 40 to 65-70. (WIDE open)

                    2k doesn't understand that hittable does not need to mean green. People will regret being able to shoot like this once the best of 2k's cheesers learn this. lmao

                      Yeah, unfortunately they did.
                      I would really like to see the changes that were made the last 2 times they changed the shooting.

                      It's really tough to give feedback when you have to guess how the sliders/pct are.

                        So is it back to people hitting half court shots and I get a defensive breakdown?

                          Outside mypark mode, the shooting is fine now. You can still miss some good looks, but now at least you can make more than 2 jumpshots in a row as well sometime. Nowhere near infamous "patch 4" imo.

                            Honestly i dont think its the same as patch 4 last year. I think patch for from last year is still worse. I do know the shooting much better than when they tuned down the shooting when they added the new park for rivet but thats just my opinion

                              To me, it made arena Pro-Am tolerable now. As for MyPark, I have no input because I don't play that mode, but it may be a problem out there, who knows.

                              Closest I come to Park is Walk-On.

                                The 3pt percentages were perfect on release.

                                Every patch that has come out since, adjusting the 3pt rates has made the game more and more cheesier.

                                It seems the community is perfectly fine with having an arcadey game where players make 60% of their open threes and 40% of their contested threes.
