[TELFONROCK5]

The CAP system is broken players don't look themselves in-game

I hope they don't rush the day 1 patch based on the amount of post I've been reading and watching users on live streaming having some issues. I really hope 2K is gathering all the information then do the day 1 patch to solved all the problems.

I’ll put up a Big and Glitches thread soon, lol

A day-1 patch is never based off release-week feedback. There’s absolutely no way to have that kind of turnaround time, especially since Sony and Microsoft need to clear the patches before they go live and that process takes days on its own. Any issues resolved on a day 1 patch are issues they knew about before players got their hands on the game.

Exactly, a day 1 patch is just the final code they were working on up until release. The reason the game doesn't have it is because the game has to go gold a couple weeks before they finish so they can ship by release date. Patch 2 will be the one that takes into account things from post launch. I wouldn't expect that one until near the opening of the NBA season in mid-late October.

So are you saying they released an unfinished game to the public and will patch in the final code on release day?


If so, this is why I hate the current state of gaming. They can release a product and fix it or finish it throughout the year. By that business model they should take part of our payments per incremental patch instead of asking for pre-orders, full price, and the constant pop-up reminders during the opening of the previous year's game. No more full price.


If 10 patches are planned, and I'm buying the $150 edition, then charge me $15 per patch throughout the year instead of upfront. If more patches come after the 10, and I've already fully paid, issue me a refund for the patch overage. Just a thought no matter how crazy it may seem.



And what is this about the game having to "go Gold" a couple of weeks before they finish?

Re: Day 1 Patch to fix the Bugs?

A game "going gold" means that the code is "locked" so that they can start mass producing the discs and getting the game ready for digital download so that they can sell to the public upon their release date.

And the game isn't unfinished. Typically Day 1 patches are things that they want to tweak, but run out of time due to the code needing to be locked so that they can get the game ready for the public. The tweaks then continue to take place and are released via a patch alongside the launch of the game, or close to it.

All games release this way. It's been like this for the vast part of the last decade since patches and online took off on 360. Games have to go gold to be mass produced so they can be shipped to retailers and the online marketplaces for the various platforms. To do this the game publisher has to submit a finished version of the product to be uploaded and printed. The issue is most times the developers can't delay releases (because they don't control that) so they work on the most up to date code up until a few days before release. That's why nearly every game that comes out now gets a Day 1 patch. It's the version of the game that is meant for release and usually fixes obvious or unusual bugs that the developers already found or were previously working on but couldn't submit in the previous version. This is why you always have people who get games before the street date dealing with crazy bugs that shouldn't be there.

I guess the hope is that the day 1 patch wasn't already released and actually releases tomorrow 😬😬😬

No sports game is ever going to be complete out the box. That has not been a thing since PS2 because patches did not exist back then. If a game was broken you just had to play it, if glitches or exploits were in you just had to play around.



Only the games like Spider-Man, God of War, Ratchet & Clank etc are near perfect because they take 4-5+ years to make. A sports game has to come out every year which is why so many modes are untouched. Once this one comes out they basically move on to 2k24 ideas.

Even SpiderMan on PS4 has had 19 updates since its release.
