I love how there's a post by someone saying a certain aspect is improved - and then right after someone else says the opposite. We gotta come to a conclusion lol not that it matters though - since this is probably the last patch.

We'll see how belubas tuning affects the game - hopefully doesn't make it worse.

Lord have MERCY.

I can't believe they actually toned down ankle breakers again. They already toned it down in another patch last year. It was already hard enough to break ankles. Now it's impossible to break ankles with it being toned down again. They might as well take ankle breaking out the game completely. SMH.

WHOOPS! Never mind, I read something else and thought ankle breakers were toned down again. My bad, lol!

Let's get some actual impressions going fellas. We discussed what we wanted included in the other thread...

Same here. It's ridiculous with how bad the defense is, there wasn't anything in this gameplay patch to really improve the defense at all. To say I was disappointed with the gameplay developers would be a huge understatement.



- Ankle Breakers has been toned down.

Ankle breakers have already been toned down many times since last year. I'm surprised you haven't noticed. As much as I play the game I usually only see 1-2 ankle breakers per game.

Yes, defense is extremely bad in this game. This I completely agree with. The defense is a total joke.

People should be getting in a good 3-4 games before they come to any conclusions imo. I don't think 1 game is enough to see if anything has gotten better or worse.

I'm really afraid for this shooting 'tweak' tomorrow morning. I've got a feeling Shot Creators are gonna get the full 12" rod on this. We already struggle sometimes to hit consistently. This might be a deathblow...

Improved logic for off-ball collisions to prevent excessive bumping, resulting in a smoother offensive flow.
Removed select dribbler collision reactions that would slow down the ball handler when contact was made from behind.
Offensive AI enhancements for better decision making when countering double teams.

If these things are actually fixed, it'll be a few things off my 2K gripe list. I'm looking forward to downloading the patch when I have time.

I honestly can't tell any improvements in the 3 games I have played tonight and I haven't played this game in since the show came out. I do not play online so maybe that's where improvements are. But the brick wall is still there and the telepathic on ball defense is as prevalent as ever. I'll play a few more tonight and after update tomorrow but I'm very close to retiring this game. They ask for improvements after saying a patch is coming, but then the patch drops fairly quick after announcement. I don't get it.

According to Mike Wang's Twitter, there's a shooting patch coming tomorrow.



Guess we'll be chucking tire irons at the rim again. Great.

He irritates me with this, man. He's going to lower it. People will complain and he's going to do what he did months ago and keep tweaking it causing all types of issues again.

I wouldn't mind it being lowered slightly and sticking there (I am up to 65% from 3 w/ a 72 3 rating) because Glass Cleaners and etc shouldn't be knock down 3PT shooters. But I wouldn't mind it just being left alone either.

I play offline franchise mode only. Played a few games now. The CPU no longer doubles team after 7 points which is awesome. Had my spot up 3 shooting guard nail 3 threes in the first 6 minutes, normally that would have meant instant double teams on a guy who has no dribbling skills which would lead to easy open shots for others. But that's gone. So that's cool. Also noticed players haven't been losing the ball which doing that spin move dribble where they would bounce into someone and the ball would roll away. When I run plays my guys don't seem to get stuck bouncing around everywhere as bad as it used to be. I might just be paying extra attention to that one though. I don't use ACE myself so I can't tell you how that's working. But that's all I've seen so far. Double teams definitely to best thing to be fixed.

Maybe I'm crazy and this is placebo effect or maybe I haven't played in too long, but I think it's much different. The contact is much different. Maybe people who aren't seeing any difference are playing the game like it would react as it would before.

I have only played offline. I had a SG shot creator I made awhile ago. Played the Team USA game and the first game after getting drafted. Here is what I noticed:

Much less contact inside, much less contact outside, too. It's much easier to get to spots and the D needs to be improved in terms of getting steals/help, but overall, wow.

Two situations that I found very cool. I got the ball on my 60-or-whatever rated SG. It seemed like the D plays a lot further back than they used to also, btw, and had a guy posted on the left side of the key, he was being fronted. I didn't do a major cross over just a little forward move to get inside the 3 point line and lobbed it over the defender for the easy lay up.

The thing is, if it was before, I would be stopped trying to move forward like that w/ sticky D. And likely the defender would have gotten some contact on him, unrealistically, from the back. The way it unfolded was v nice.

I also like that inside shots don't always end in the same contact animation anymore.

Another play is Justice had the ball on the break and was not ahead of a guy, but the guy was in position where he would have bumped him before, but he just kind of outran him with no contact for the dunk (no contact on that, either.)

It's a lot more realistic looking and playing, for me. I had it on all star, so I am anxious to try it on HoF w/ one of my higher rated players.

I want to say I really like the direction of this. Not sure how it's gonna play online, but I have nobody I wanna ball with on right now, so offline is fine. I am enjoying playing 2k offline, that should be enough.

Way more movement due to less sticky d, less contact inside is what I am noticing. It's a huge difference and much better.

Thanks.

I hate when he does it because there never seems to be a middle ground. It always seems like it's an extreme in one direction or the other. Either we're cashing out, or we're shooting like this:

I played 5+ walk on games with my 6ft6 Playmaker

The game feels clean. I can feel the positive difference with the collision effects on ball for ball handlers. I'm no longer constantly getting stuck in those ridiculous loose ball animations - it's definitely calmed down and you can react more cooly as a playmaker.

I haven't noticed any solid difference defensively on the ball.

Re: NBA 2K17 Patch 1.12 Available Now, Patch Notes Included

yea, I really like it. Great day to be a post scorer. I can see bigs getting nerfed maybe... but on the other hand, I rarely see bigs who play big like I do.

I've always played kind of toward the rim as a big on 2k. I post, I do fakes and all, but in the end I finish toward the rim. Unfortunately, before this patch, that would almost always end in a contact animation and miss. I had to keep telling myself... "Shoot the hook."

Now, I can go back to playing as I used to, and it's pretty great. Everything feels good, maybe it'll need to be toned down, but I like the idea that bigs catching the ball inside are threats. I like that you can make 'toward the basket' pumps and feints and not have the ball squirt out of your hands.

The computer did 5 consecutive plays of reaching in on me posting up, though, and gave me a bunch of FTs. Their reach in logic on post ups might need to be looked at, unless they were just hacking me cuz I put 50 on them.
