    Re: Every UPDATE REQUIRED message should come with bullet points of what it actually

    I have seen one update required message on PC and that was when the huge roster update came out.

    So I guess if u don't want those messages just come to the platform they always neglect

      They can dribble in the middle of all your guys without never loosing the ball, they get unreal steals all the time (just as you press pass, the cpu center does 5 meters in 0,5 sec to steal the ball...), not a single screen is working for you, your jumpshots don't go in anymore, your cpu teammates in defense stop marking their man for no reason...



      SERIOUSLY what is the point of screwing up the game like this on a regular basis ?? So if i understand, i have to once again struggle again with the settings and difficulty to achieve decent gameplay until the next update that will mess everything up in 2 weeks or so ??



      Indeed, they should really communicate about the nature of the updates... when are they coming, and what they are supposed to "fix"...


      Totally agree!!! I was having a blast last week and now I am mad again.

      There is not one full week that I can play the game without having to relearn things because they keep trying to fix what is not broken... I only play offline myleague... it sucks to not have consistency on the gameplay

        Per Scott's Twitter, there was another "big" ACE update. I haven't reviewed his timeline to determine if it was today or yesterday.

          If I was 2K, I would put out placebo "updates" just to sit back and laugh when people say, "It was all good yesterday until the update; now I ________."

          Some of these things, I am sure yall are imagining you are seeing.

          But, I agree with OP.

          A list of what was updated would be nice
          Concrete evidence/videos please

            Yeah transparency would be great, but just about just every update are some minor rotations, art changes.

            Mike said he'd let us know of any tuning changes.

              I'm experiencing the same on Superstar in MyCareer. I just had this game (I'm on the Hawks):



              My team was shooting for less than 30%. Basically no rebounds from them. I was shooting for ~50% so this did only effect my teammates. I also did 4/10 from 3. In all the 2K games, I have never witnessed something like this. Whenever would give the ball out of my hands it was turnover or brick. It felt completely broken.

                If you hex edited 2K back on the 360 & PS3, you would realize minor changes to a save file's code changes gameplay.

                Added a CF to a MyCareer player, boosted a few attributes (speed, vertical, handling), a few dunk packages, added some accessories, and made my player a SF/PF instead of SF/SG...& the gameplay was bananas. Everything was sped up, my teammates wouldn't defend anyone, the CPU was automatic from damn near anywhere.

                Lol, folks think 2K's codebase is a lot more stable than it actually is. The source code acts like it might be from the time when there were no patches, & they keep building on it. *IF* that's the case...any update that can't be optimized in-house has the potential to throw stuff out of whack.

                Unless they can unit test every possible use case & variable imaginable. Which I doubt, due to time constraints.

                  It's just the automated daily roster update.

                  Anything more significant goes into a patch.

                  They already do tell you in a memo at startup when shoes etc are added to the game......

                    This is absolutely not true. They have stated that these in-game updates allow them to tweak gameplay stuff without a patch when they introduced this feature.

                      Every UPDATE REQUIRED message should come with bullet points of what it actually does

                      Nothing has changed with gameplay via tuning updates besides ACE since Patch 1.05. Those Update Required messages are all from roster updates (ratings, accessories, etc.)

                      The only gameplay changes since patch 1.05 are in patch 1.06 and are described in the patch notes.

                        As a whole though and for those who don't visit OS/Reddit then just a line to state it's a roster update or something would go a long way.

                        Sometimes seeing the update notice and then having something go weird in-game or shooting is off for that night, then people automatically blame the 'update' even if there isn't one.. Myself included (unless I come on OS).

                          I understand that, so why not communicate that directly through the game?

                          Would alleviate a lot of the "OMG Beluba keeps messing with the shooting FFS" stuff on here and Twitter that you cop every time there is a roster update and someone has a bad game.

                          Having to go to 3rd Party sites and forums to get standard information just seems strange.

                            LOLOLOL so all the complaints about the game being broken again since the "update" was all fluff?

                            It really was funny!

                              what bothers me most is that the message will not disappear until you actually got back to the starting screen. that's highly annoying when you've just started a game and you have to play that game to the end with that big *** message not going away. it would be awesome if during a game it would just disappear after a while. it's okay if it's there when you pause the game, but not while you are actually playing.

                                He literally said "besides ACE" which has a influence on gameplay too.
