Beluba Update for green releases and shot timing.

Re: Beluba Update for green releases and shot timing.

Holy ****, this patch not only broke a game mode and various features throughout, it also broke the possibility to tune the game?! I sure hope patch 5 comes soon, but PLEASE do some extensive testing beforehand.

They're having a rough year. One post release patch creates the shot meter glitch. The patch to fix that makes it so that tuning updates will delete MyCareer saves. All this coming out of a short dev cycle that produced a predictably uneven game.

Yes, I'm breaking my arm patting myself on the back, but I feel really good about my believe that the game wasn't really going to be in a solid playable state until sometime after the opening week of the NBA season, i.e., early/mid November.

This is more of an "online" thing right?

Re: Beluba Update for green releases and shot timing.

There's no conspiracy theory. It turns out there's a technical reason we're unable to make tuning updates at the moment. We're trying to work it out but we may be blocked until patch 5. Forcing an update before then has a high probability of corrupting peoples' MyCAREER saves which is definitely worse than the issues we're trying to iron out with the tuners. Please be patient, guys.

Thanks for the feedback Mike. So I guess my Slasher's Vacations gonna be longer than I thought...

Repeat after me. 1 month in is the worst time for unwarranted negativity on this forum. The game is very, very good.

I'm still slashing. Relentless finisher sucks, But tear dropper, and utilizing the moving shots+difficult shots is helping. Granted I was bricking a ton last night, but still managed about 15 pts a game.

I forget floaters exist. That's holding me back and I have to start making it a priority to diversify.

I still manage to score well and win games, but in a "unfunny" way.

Can't play pro-am.

Can't use slashers.

Can't get connections.

(the mess that is the CPU off-line that requires simworld to be playable)

I'm going with broken. Just because it is great, and playable, doesn't mean it's not broken.

What do you mean pro-am isnt playable?

It's harder for slashers. There are plenty of archetypes that work fine.

Im playing offline with no simworld; it's great.

The game is not broken.

It's not playable... when go into the game it kicks you. This is the case for a sizable percentage of the community still.

It's not "harder" for the slasher, they took their badge and broke it. THE BADGE WORKS AGAINST YOU lmao. you cannot hit layups, with the layup archetype. That's broken.

there's numerous reports that the offline community needs a complete overhaul to make the out of the box tendencies and gameplay even remotely resemble actual basketball.

If you do get in, don't shoot free throws, because you won't be able to see your player because of griefers abusing a camera glitch.

Not to mention if you all disconnected prior to this last patch, you escaped losses in their "competitive esport"

Guys, he said nothing with shooting was changed. Along with a smiley face. Maybe I'm looking into the smiley face too much, but what if shooting wasn't changed.. Because the defense was changed?

that would fall under the open/contested distinction. which would be openly discussed (according to his rules)

Re: Beluba Update for green releases and shot timing.

Thanks for the update Beluba. What exactly do you have in mind specifically for the next update if and when the issues are ironed out?

- going to slowly remove the shot meter glitch hot fix. This will make the frequency of green releases slightly less than what you're currently seeing and cause mis-timed shots to miss more as well.

- I'm also working on some offline/MyCAREER sliders on Superstar and HoF that flatten out shooting %s for a more sim experience. What I'm seeing from the data and the feedback from most people is that the ProAm and Park camps really want a big emphasis on open vs contested. I.e. Open shots should 'never miss' and contested shots should 'never go in.' That's an exaggeration but generally what people prefer. So what you're seeing in Park and Pro Am right now will be somewhat close to what the game will look like all year, though the hot fix removal will bring the shot percentages down for some. Play Now Online will be 'more sim' with player attributes playing a bigger role and open vs. contested shot percentages more in line with real life FG%s. Internal testing has been positive so far with the new sliders for offline and PNO (generally seeing FG%s in the mid 40s) but I'm still tweaking. Actually would love some feedback if any of you offline guys want to try the custom sliders now and let me know what you think. I'll post them in this thread tomorrow.

- the relentless finisher badge will be fixed and illegal screens should be called properly when the update hits as well.
