NBA 2K18 Patch #5 Available Now For PS4, Xbox One - Soon For PC, Switch - Patch Notes

It's plausible the defender saw the player in front look back and reach out for the ball, and reacted by sticking an arm out.

The problem is we all know the defender is stopping the ball 95% of the time in 2K in that situation, where as in real life the vast majority of the time you're not going to get the timing and positioning right without looking.

IMO it's a problem with 2K in general, in that events are too predictable and repeatable. CPU AI never really makes bad decisions. The AI is following a script with little wiggle room for randomness.

Is nobody else noticing that the game feels different now?? I was about 8 games deep into a MyLeague (12 minute quarters too, so very familiar with my team) and quite enjoying it but i don't like the way it feels anymore

Guess this bug has still not been resolved yet.
I already posted it in the 'bugs & issues' thread.

Platform: PS4

Whats the bug? Problem with Gym Lights after a Timeout

What mode did you experience the glitch/bug in? MyCareer

How did it happen or what did you do to trigger it? My CPU Opponent got fouled, but I called a Timeout when the CPU was at the line, just before the CPU shot his 1st free throw... then skipped the huddle scene.... but the Arena Lights do not reset to normal & remain glitched until the next Timeout is called, or until the end of the quarter itself.

How often has the bug been reproduced? Sporadically.

Do you have video or a picture? Yes. (The video starts at the very next possession, right after the CPU opponent shoots 2 free throws and I bring the ball across half-court.)

dont see this, its as responsive its ever been, funny how ppl think 2k would introdruce sluggishness every update. lol

I have not seen this at all...this game is NOTHING like 2k17, that game was horrible, just my opinion though.

Yes - When I turned the game on today, it automatically downloaded another 'internal' update from 2K.

Now it feels much worse than it did just a week ago.

Suddenly, playing NBA Games in MyCareer mode.... feels more SLUGGISH than ever.

For Example: I have ALL the Gatorade supplies... and 100% Boost available... and I do not use Turbo all the time... but my 'energy meter' is ALWAYS fully depleted early in the 4th quarter... so I am STRUGGLING to finish games with ANY energy left at all... no matter 'how little' I use the Turbo button.

It wasn't like this a week ago. (Before Patch #5)

I could finish games with MUCH MORE power left in my 'energy meter' than this.
That's just ONE example of 'how it feels different' to me.

Feels like I'm being gouged by 2K to spend real money on VC... in order to buy Gatorade products... just to be able to finish games with ANY sort of energy/boost at all.

Just saying.

just turn off 2k and restart, gameplay will go back to normal

I already did that. Like at least 3x times. Same problems still persist.

In fact, I quit & restarted the whole game after the latest update finished installing & took me back to the 'start menu'... because I saw/read the earlier reports in this thread yesterday morning.

Scroll up & you will notice sometimes I post video proof about glitches & issues.
But usually when the same problem keeps occurring for DAYS.

Not sure if its just me but the game feels more fluent since the patch - mycareer that is.. player movement feels really smooth, much better than before.

Did lighting get adjusted, courts look brighter & I'm now noticing player shadows on the court during games.

One thing that continues to annoy me, why in a blowout game does our my player never get subbed up with the starters in garbage time.

Surely this could be patched in and sorted out.

Only two issues are the same issues I’ve had since launch..

The damn OP offensive rebounding , and the CPU AI doing dribble move after dribble move right into your defenders body, forcing themselves into the paint no matter how good your defense is, then hoisting up an easy layup like you’re not even in the vicinity . It’s infuriating

The animation may not look the greatest, but the defender would stop an off hand half court bullet pass into the paint 95% of the time IRL too...I can't say I really have an issue with whats in that video...

In the thread you posted a week or so back, there were some saying they felt the game became 'sluggish' after a random update. So my question is, did the 'sluggishness' convert back to normal, or is it compounding at this point?

Is the game really changing THAT much?

I dont know man, I dont feel it on my end....other than the things on the notes..

YES! This and how the cpu will shoot a three after you make one. I hate to say the word scripted but come on....I hate how the cpu will score at ease just to keep the game close.

Offline NBA today games btw

I don't have that much of a problem with that, mainly because there isn't a look back animation while running, you'd think that would be a play that someone would get a hand on.

I actually thought, when seeing how you describe it, that dude was going to do the turn in the air steal or, as it got closer, that the ball was going to just stick to his hand. Because he deflected it, it seems realistic, to me.

Think if you are chasing someone on the break, you hear the ball stop bouncing and you stick your hand up to try to deflect the pass, that's what it seems like, to me.

Edit: also pretty crazy that you put the ball behind your back and whipped a left handed laser right after haha.

-Smak

Well then 2k probably should have said if a cpu defender can't see what you are doing but hears the ball stop bouncing from 40 feet away and sticks out an arm at the perfect angle to nudge it to another cpu defender, then expect a turnover. It also happens way too frequently, often with bigs defying their size/mobility/physics to fly across the court for these animations. We can all have an opinion on whether it's valid or not, but being told something isn't in the game only to find it's crept back in is disappointing. In the grand scheme of things it's not the biggest crime in the world, but this is the thread to discuss changes after patch 5. They don't need to change in the air steal because any cpu deflection is pretty much 90% guaranteed to go straight back to the cpu.

The player is a pure playmaker, so the BtB is for the double move score needed to work towards ankle breaker, so are we saying that NBA playmakers aren't capable of this kind of action? We've seen Steph do things like this then hit a 30ft jumpshot to finish the play rather than a pass.

I agree if the player had actually seen the ball.

I hate to tell you this but every video game has clipping. You will never escape it especially in a game where bodies fly around in close quarters.

It's annoyed me at times but 2K has done a good job in atleast fixing the ball clipping through players most of the time and that's more important to me than the little speck of elbow going into someone's head.

Clipping is at an all time high this year.

I swear they had a blog saying they worked on this.

Yeah I played a 9 min game in my GM and the cpu never called a single time out. I also am having problems geting icon passing to work. I’ll have to press the icons passing button 2-3 times to get it to activate . These are very problematic for me

Thought this was me and a PC issue. I rarely can icon pass to my big man download consistently. Just enough delay so defender can get in position
