NBA 2K20 Patch 1.08 Available - Patch Notes Included

Wow, man.

Away from the game for about two weeks and a patch (or an update in between, whatever) switches up one of my favorite playing 2K's ever.

The freedom of movement is gone and we are back to the glued on defenders...

I hadn't had this much pick up and play fun vs. the CPU in a long time and now it's gone. Really disappointed.

I don't know where else to ask this so I'll toss it here. Anyone else to continue to have issues with the CPU constantly fast breaking on every possession?

I get it from a strategy standpoint. My AI teammates are so awful getting back and picking up in transition, the most efficient way of playing is to constantly race down court as fast as possible. Then you add in reaction time. While I'm missing a shot, my defender is already turning and racing down court, and my teammates certainly are going to fail to pick him up properly. And on turnovers I've noticed on the countless replays I've run (after I get beat in transition AGAIN, I often run it back to see what went wrong. I'll admit many times it's my controlled player that sets it in motion, but there is a lot of others stuff going on) that CPU controlled players can be facing the other way from the ball, yet take off in transition on a turnover WITHOUT turning to ever see the ball was turned over. And without time for a teammate to shout something. Their reaction is instantaneous. They are guarding one of my players with their back to the ball. Pass picked off or steal and as the CPU gains possession, without turning or anything, the CPU takes off down the court.

You can't defend this stuff. I realize the limitations of a video game in that respect. Which means the programmers need to realize the challenges AI defenders have getting back and picking up in transition and nerf the CPU desire to constantly exploit this. It's the equivalent of what online players call "cheese" IMO. Exploiting something the game does poorly and you as a user can't control well enough to stop.

Strangely enough if I play zone, the CPU doesn't run nearly as much. It's as if my AI teammates are better at running to their zone, than picking up a man (or even better running back to protect the basket) in transition. But I hate playing zone because it ends up being a game of "can they hit threes" and if they do, they win, if they keep clanking them, I win.

I was damn confused.

Is anyone seeing an increase in 3 second calls on the CPU?

I haven't noticed anything with the 3 sec. violations. I had a game go into 3 overtimes and only saw 1 get called.

I have played 4 games since the patch and I do think perimeter steals are easier, blocks are more frequent and I think the on ball defence has been ramped up. I’m only guessing this is for the online crowd but I do think sliders can fix these offline.

I don’t really agree about the layups being too hard. There are definitely more blocks on them but I’m in the minority that felt layups and close shooting have always been too easy on default. NBA teams shoot 60% at the rim and I would guess if people check their season stats most people on default would have been way higher. But again, offline sliders can help too.

Have they atleast patched in player portraits?*

😂😂😂

NOPE!!!!

MyLeague looks hella ugly rn don’t want to play it as the 5v5/NBA mode has been completely neglected this year - worse than previous.

No attention to detail or any of the little things that typically make 2k such a great game.

I would hope it’s because of the incoming Next Gen consoles but it’s still not excusable imo.

Won’t buy 2k on this generation again and I typically wait a year before moving to next gen.

I'm on board with you. After this pass cycle (which is not even over yet). I don't know if I can straight out justify buying 2k next year. From the week to week game changes. With this many changes. Even people who were loving the game in the beginning are now saying. WTF did you guys do.

I'm guessing the change to a tight defense was because tournament yielded terrible out comes.

This patch has turned defender back to the cheese when the game came out. I’m getting blocked from behind by Lebron after AD gets the offensive rebound and I’m going straight up. Standing vertical block once the call is out of AD’s hands an inch from the hoop.

I’m getting blocked by Kyle Kuzma from behind as I am going up for a 2 handed dunk (goes up 1 handed) and Kuzma jumped before I even went up - blocking me on the way down.

How do I share video clips like you do? This is literally in the game I just played now in PNO.

Kuzma is playing lockdown defense on Lebron and making AD miss in the paint.

I’m actually done with this game after this patch.

It’s a joke.

You just start to enjoy it and hope they patch the legitimately BROKEN things in the game and then just break it even more.

Who the **** asked for unrealistic blocks and lockdown defense from bad defenders???

Last I heard people were saying that scoring in the paint was already a myth unless in transition??

actually most of the community has said paint defense was a myth all year. It just comes down to the people in these devs ear have no bball iq...they dont think you have to actually contest layups. There were also a lot of blow by complaints by people who clearly never watched NBA basketball.

I noticed what you said 2 weeks ago when in my career anthony davis suddenly had issues scoring in the paint. This recent patch made it even worse cause everyone can affect layups now and block you when they're steps behind.
