      Its kinda hard for me to believe nothing will be mess with after they find this "perfect" balance and thats only IF they find it. Cheesers will adapt and find new ways to cheese. 16 you got the demigods, 17 you got crazy brick wall animations...these are all things that probably could've been avoided if they did more game testing before the actual game released. All I'm saying is 2k doesn't really have a good track record when it comes to patching problematic gameplay without adding on more issues. I think a good start at the least would be to give every pg-sf archetype next year a bronze pick dodger.

        WTF are you talking about??? It's like you're talking with yourself, and trying convince everyone you're talking to them.

            I remember talking on here about it and Mike said they could add in dribbling fatigue for shooting cuz it was already that way on lay ups. Glad to see them doing it. I bet it's not going to make a huge difference tho.

            I've played a little 2k16 park lately, just out of boredom cuz no one is on L*v*. It's really refreshing, even tho it's harder to stop people and they make too many shots, to just not have to worry about EVERY PLAY being a pick. It's funny dudes in 16 didn't know how to set proper picks. I miss those picks. That's prol the real problem.

              I agree that 2k doesn’t have a good track record when it comes to this stuff, but let’s at least give them the benefit of the doubt this time since they did say they won’t be changing stuff as much as they did last year

                    Yeah... zig-zag cheese or whatever.
                    just bother with the online mode only.

                    don't mess with the offline gameplay. it doesn't have anything to do with it in the first place.

                        As a shot creator, I really hope this is a change for the better. I want the zig-zagging to be less effective, but not at the cost of any off-dribble shooting effectively becoming inefficient scoring options.

                          All of that aside: Not once was jumpshot discussed in that post. That's why your comment makes no sense in context. It's like we're talking about shoes and you reference your car.

                          "There's one more change incoming with Patch 5 that might alter shooting effectiveness "

                          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."

                              'Zig Zagging' to be addressed in Patch 5

                              I am an offline player only... what exactly is “zigzag”? I am wondering if these patch 5 changes will have a negative effect on control and responsiveness...?

                              Is it possible to have this change only effect the group that complains about this?

                              I’m in such love with the gameplay and would break my heart to feel the negative impact.

                                Some people are literally left/righting in game. Like no dribble moves, just go left right with your left stick until your opponent is nowhere to be found.
                                And you add the big man setting a "suck in" screen and it's over...
