Ok tried the patch and I don't see anything major updated on the gameplay front. Maybe they tweeked it but who knows? CPU green releases are still there and still annoying as ****. WAY TOO MANY GREENS WHEN THE CPU GOES FOR A LAYUP.

Why do they do the patch notes like its the little things thread where players will have to discover whats added? It's ridiculous!

Indeed.

I was thinking this as I was posting Harden's move.

Why make things like brand new animations and scans an Easter Egg hunt?

Re: NBA 2K20 Patch 1.06 Available Now - Patch Notes Included

I mean, some games, like for example The Division, have the equal of 10 pages of Word on every patch release, 10 pages of explanation on every single thing that's been touched. If you write "many more fixes" I read it as "too many fixes to write them down it would take too much time".

Then I suspect that the fixes are not so many and the other 22 GB of data is MyPark stuff like two Formula 1 car that spin around a basketball court or a castle with basketball court in it. I really miss the old time offline NBA 2K... I'm an old timer...

Oh ****... Let's start! Because that is possibly the second most annoying thing after Green releases. And I'm talking visual. Like I throw up Everytime. I just played in a game where we kept fouling each other in a very close game. But we're at the free throw line. Green every single FT. Like WTF. Who's lame idea was this Green release thing!

Man no offense to whoever chose to keep it this way, but it was such a silly idea if we're being honest. I mean can't you at least give us the option to turn this stuff off? It's like they straight up just forgot about the immersiveness. Not everyone wants to see things on the screen...some ppl just want to have an immersive basketball experience. All these on screen stuff (percentages, green release flashes,ect) really kill that kind of experience.

I wish XBone gave an estimated time but either way I ain't gonna be able to play tonight lol. I probably don't have the fastest internet. It's been downloading a probable good hour and a half and mine is only on 24% completion, so probably about a 6 hour download for me.

I get that it's aggravating but I really appreciate the patches we've had so far. I thought 1.05 was really good in terms of fixing the team options glitch and at least providing some type of offline GM Mode. I know those modes still need improvement but...that's what these patches are for.

xbox does give an estimated time and percentage. its been that way since the last xbox update. not 2k update. but MS xbox update.

Re: NBA 2K20 Patch 1.06 Available Now - Patch Notes Included

"Patch note" 2K can't even do that part properly. Basically the notes are;
"We fixed some stuff, here."

Re: NBA 2K20 Patch 1.06 Available Now - Patch Notes Included

They added Hardens one legged step back BTW

Maybe they should wait until he actually uses it in the regular season and find out how well he can hit it.

But it's 2k and a star so I'm sure he will be coded to knock it down at 70% and the fanboys will whine that he doesn't hit it at a higher percentage

Re: NBA 2K20 Patch 1.06 Available Now - Patch Notes Included

The game just needs more time before it’s released. I appreciate their continued effort to improve the game but if the game released now, wouldn’t it be better? Maybe maybe not.

Re: NBA 2K20 Patch 1.06 Available Now - Patch Notes Included

I'm on Xbox and I can assure you that today it's normal to see patches that range from 5 to 15 GBs for every game, but sometimes you can also see a 150 MB patch.

People complaining about an early release date... it's simple, the game HAS to come out every year on this date, ready or not. If it's not ready it will be patched. These are commercial laws unfortunately and I don't like them too. I don't have Internet problems like speed or caps, but I don't like the "many more fixes" approach when reading patch notes.

Regarding the size of patches I agree on the fact that they must be art updates for MyPark events, clothing you can purchase, and hopefully art that impacts all different game modes. I'm an offline MyLeague player, so I always hope for new uniforms, new art for the arenas, new shoes, new face updates, accessories updates. All the STATEMENT uniforms have been introduced in the last few days. That's the kind of art I care about.

Respectfully, I Disagree with the red part.
The release date of the game is tied to the start of the NBA Regular Season.

2018–19 NBA Season: October 16, 2018
2019–20 NBA Season: October 22, 2019

I remember about 9-10 years ago when 2K used to drop the game about 3 weeks before the official start of the NBA Regular Season.

But notice that the release dates get pushed up. Year after year. While the NBA season start dates have remained largely the same. (i.e. they usually start the season during the last week in October.)

This year, they dropped NBA 2k20 game a whole 7.5 weeks BEFORE of the start of the NBA Regular Season, which provides them an "extra month" of sales... but also reduces the final Q/A Testing Period by a "whole month" at the same time.

If they had stuck to their "3-weeks of lead time before the NBA season starts" cycle... this year's game could've dropped during the first week in October (i.e. anywhere between September 30th to October 3rd) awhich gives 3 weeks of lead time before the NBA regular season starts...


And if they dropped the game during that first week in October... then we (probably) don't get 4 (out of 6) patches that total over 70+ GiGs worth of "last minute edits" during the month of September.

Just my opinion.

Re: NBA 2K20 Patch 1.06 Available Now - Patch Notes Included

The NBA decides the release date of the game I believe. In the past both 2K and Live had to release at the same time, by contract.

Re: NBA 2K20 Patch 1.06 Available Now - Patch Notes Included

The only thing that piss me off with patches is i dont lay any online modes. and usually the list of fix are in that darn category. im lloking for gameplay and art updates only. there should be a box to tick which one to update your game to avoid all this large and slow patches update.

Damn this. But I play online vs some friends every now and then but I'm forced to eat up my bandwidth and get throttle by my ISP. Mostly for updates to the park and mycareer

And LOL at "many more fixes".... I'd like to hold off on DL these updates but I have no clue if they actually improve the modes I really play

They lost a "day" between NBA 2K19 and NBA 2K20....no matter the release date, it's still basically a one-year development period. The gradually pushed back the release date over many years before it became almost two months before the official season starts. For us PNO players, that's two months that we get to play with an injury-free roster.

Re: NBA 2K20 Patch 1.06 Available Now - Patch Notes Included

Does anyone think that the offline gameplay is different now? Like it’s a lot faster now?

[opius]

Re: NBA 2K20 Patch 1.06 Available Now - Patch Notes Included

I can think of a few reasons why patch notes are no longer included:

1. Too many things to patch means people will complain how they released a game with some of the listed bugs

2. People will complain that the bug that annoys them isn't fixed - potentially because not many bugs were fixed or much content was added

3. The size of the patch doesn't even remotely correlate to the fixes listed and poses more questions/complaints

4. They are so busy fixing things that patch notes are not high on the list of priorities
