The game feels very balanced man, can't say enough how much I'm enjoying the patch.

Love the increase in tipped, intercepted, missed long passes.

Unfortunately there are still some lapses, but there's enough disruption to make guys think twice now.

The only people who have a problem with patch 6 are the cheesers (90% of sunset). I expect to see more big men in MyPark because a lot of these speed boosters are gonna get exposed. The 2k17 leader boards are gonna look completely different since ALL of them do it lol. Enjoy it while you can 😂😂😂

All the cheesers I see are in Rivet, Sunset got a few, but most of them are terrible. Rivet got all the cheesers, all the YouTubers....

I assume more stuff in the shops? I'll be honest, I don't check the shop often and see how much it's updated.

It's not really the point though, there's no logic behind dudes rant at all...he's just mad his go to move was taken away. I was reading comments under that "hell naw" video and random commenters were talking about how mad he would be, like that's what he's known for and all he has in his arsenal, lol.

Anyway, I really wanted to know how some PNO guys feel about the patch....a lot of the lesser publicized changes have made a big difference for me..

So far only played a couple of games online since the patch. One game guy had the thunder, it was so nice to see him being penalized for forcing it into the paint with the dribble or with the pass. He had countless turnovers now that lead passes can be stolen more frequently and the ball is more tangible on the drive. I'm also not seeing as many chase down blocks on fastbreaks.

One game I was able to keep up with the Clippers bigs using the slow footed Spurs big men while playing on broadcast cam. Overall really enjoying the patch

If you're referring to me 24, no, it's not the same animation. Yes you can say it's similar though. But if you go back and watch the vid I posted, it's different. It's a lot faster and more aggressive. From your vid it's just kind of a basic drive to the rim like on a fast break. Notice in my vid the explosion out the move and how he lowers his shoulders a little more. Always thought it was a nice animation.

The hesi - go is my primary move in Park with my PGs - I can definitely relate to what you're describing and it's moves like that that I'll be disappointed to see diminished in value...

The aggressive charge animation seems to be part of what they consider "unnatutal" - it's not abundantly clear yet albeit I don't see anyone performing this move in path 6 clips for PS4 nor will I know myself until I try it on XB1..

Seems gone bro. I believe taken that away stopped the speed boosting but also hurt us players that didn't abuse it.

Thinking about it, the speed boost was so effective because of that burst and players were able to stop on a dime and do it another way right? If so, why not just make it where you can't just keep stopping on a dime doing that. Or if you keep doing it you could lose control of the ball? I think the quick fix option was just taking a good animation out completely.

It's definitely a quick fix.. game still has a black mark on its face regarding sizeups that can be spammed by any player regardless of height or position or attribute rating.. it's a quick fix...

User dribble creativity and dominance is hindered by the patch so it's a return to day 1 when all folks knew was how to spam sizeups.. ehh levels the parity but being a competitor is more than just form.. basic players will still be exposed for their unrefined raw ways (88s and 99s playing with skillsets of 55s)... as competitors its moreso how we adapt to the ever changing conditions

We have all been rendered so basic lol so conformed so trained to behave fixed and accordingly 😳

I'm liking the game a lot too. Next year I would like to see that every center over 7 feet isn't the next coming of wilt

Lol no most park scrubs don't know u can post up so I wouldn't get my hopes up they seem to think points can only some from dunks and threes and they won't count of a big does it

Agreed..
They are so used to having tunnel vision so probably no
Then if they do they will probably pass to u when u are 0.5 secs away from 3 seconds call, or worse they'll just throw u ball when u cut and result in a drop ball turnover

Lol I gate that when ur open all the time and they ignore u and u get a three in the key or sowmthugn g waiting for he pass or they throw it right when u leave so u don't get called or they throw it late on cuts because they to busy doing dribble moves to pass

I'd say we're even more hindered now because of the auto-hesitation that for a reason only god knows was put back into the game. However if this is what it took to take out the game-killing cheese moves then I'm okay with that, hopefully it will be balanced more effectively in 2K17

Re: NBA 2K16 Patch #6 Available Now For PlayStation 4, Patch Notes Included

Finally got a chance to play with the new patch and im not a fan at all of the change to the little explosiveness that did exist in 2k. I have always felt like a certain degree of athleticism has been missing from the game and the what bit thats present is held back by the overly physical on-ball defense and the cpu's ability to speed in front of you after being beaten. Even with that being the case I could occasionally make users pay for playing too close without being bumped thanks to the size-ups

Right now i feel like im trying to attack the rack with a high-schooler. Its not impossible, but unbelievably un-athletic. There is little to no snap to the movement out of size-ups and its simply feels neutered.

Contrary to what many will have you believe, its not unrealistic to be able to easily get a step on a defender.

Re: NBA 2K16 Patch #6 Available Now For PlayStation 4, Patch Notes Included

Played with my guard first time in the update .

Yeah I noticed its a lot harder to get past your man. Not even speed boosting just dribbling .But I like it a lot. IQ matters

I agree...it's like the speed boosting teacher guy said....if you had a pretty good handle on dribble moves already, you'll be fine....a lot of those moves remain effective...you just have to know when to utilize them...

If speed boosting and variations of it were your only means of beating defenders, you'll have it rough...

Re: NBA 2K16 Patch #6 Available Now For PlayStation 4, Patch Notes Included

I don't know about you guys, but looking at the vids posted here there's no athleticism at all.

Why should you be afraid of a Westbrook or a John Wall if he can't explode out of his hesitations and get step-and-a-half on you? If you look at their highlights, they don't actually have great handles, they just need that split second where the defense freeze reading the move and they're already a step ahead.

Westbrook in the new vids looks just like Kyle Korver while driving, he's that slow to the hoop.

Compared to this (3:13):

Not even close in terms of athleticism and explosiveness.

This patch ruin the game for people who actually knew how to dribble and enjoy the Iso moves. Now it's no explosive move out a dribble and you really now got to cheese just to get some kind of speed out a move, just don't make no sense to ruin a game at the end of the span of it.

Speed boost of the dribble never made sense because it was faster than the player sprinting without a ball. Issue of not being able to create space with athletic/good ball handler player is too fast defense recover animations and "magnetic" feel of defender.
