Yeah, thinking if you just restart the console after an update all will be well.

This^*^^

My first game after update something was off

After a restart the 2nd game played like preupdate, so a restart of game after update is a great idea

Re: What did the latest update do?

Slightly off topic, but does anyone have any idea when Patch 5 will drop? Mike Wang tweeted a few days ago that it was finished on 2K's end and going through the submission process. I just wanna wear my signatures lol

Re: What did the latest update do?

I'm curious as to what patch 5 will contain.

Re: What did the latest update do?

Just to put your minds at ease, we haven't been making any stealth changes to gameplay. 99% of the time, those update messages are roster changes (shoes, accessories, injuries, ratings, etc.) Once in a blue moon it's an ACE update. I believe I've tweeted about every change I've made to shooting (of which there were only a couple, layup buff for example.)

There's one more change incoming with Patch 5 that might alter shooting effectiveness (depending on your playstyle.) And that's the over-dribbling shooting fatigue adjustment... aka. anti-zig-zag cheese. The new motion system essentially "broke" our left/right detection so we had to implement it a different way. Hopefully when the patch drops, I have it tuned to where it's only noticeably affecting the actual cheesers, but there's a chance I was too strict and would need to dial the shot penalties back some. After that, shooting will be locked down for the rest of the year.

Just played a couple games of pro am as of Oct 25 between 11am and noon, and wherever it's at right now the gameplay feels PERFECT imo. Defense feels better, better foot planting, good overall everything. Save this setting lol.

Hi Mike! Thanks for the answer

Do you know if patch 5 will correct the custom shoes bug?

Re: What did the latest update do?

Is it not possible for you guys to add an "update notes" pop up in-game any time there is an update to make things both easier on you guys and eliminate confusion from people who overreact to everything?

Ditto for the 11th time.

Hey Beluba, can u address in the next patch the fact that during 12 min quarters players are not sweating, we had this problem last year i believe it should be a easy fix. And can u also address player likeness, its very annoying seeing players like Iman Shumpert with the wrong hairstyle.

Posterizer has definitely been nerfed. I have a pure slasher and I can tell you this with 100% certainty. I'm a career player who plays on HoF, and gameplay is definitely different. Over double teaming has creeped into the game again for some absurd reason, and players doing post moves instead of taking the open shot is 2k18's version of the stepback 3.

The gameplay is different and not in a good way, so telling us these changes are not happening, is not strictly correct. They have always said that tuning some things often result in other things being unintentionally changed, so I can only guess this is what's happening here.

Mike doesn't deal with sweat issues or likenesses so don't expect an answer.

It hasn't.

I agree with you ,
I'm mainly a career mode player and I can feel the effect , postorizer badge is almost useless I don't even see the badge activating on contact dunks .




what I've notice , whenever they tune something in park or pro am there is a negative effect to MyCareer .


they may say we did not touch it , but the effect is there !
