    Re: NBA 2K23 Patch 5 Addresses Shooting, Court Floor Visual Issues and More - Patch N

    It still changes everyday. Some days it’s great and others it feels like a different game. One legacy-issue that’s come back is certain players playing brain dead and going 6/32 from three. Dame, Steph, Chauncey, to name a few will just shoot nonstop threes even after bricking 10 in a row. And dumb turnaround/fade near logo shots too.

    This is stupidity that happened in previous 2K’s but was corrected in 2K23 until the patch that broke everything.

    Our best bet is to hope the day 2K ditches it to focus on 2K24, this game is left/frozen on a “good day” and that’s the way it’ll play permanently going forward from then.

    When 2K23 launched, somehow they managed to make players play realistic, they advertised lengths they successfully went to make CPU self aware and intelligent, shot percentages were realistic, and scores were realistic. I don’t know how they pulled it off. Now it’s back to old legacy 2K issue where the only way you can beat Steph if he goes 6/32 from 3 and the only way to have realistic game scores is if both teams shoot 35% FG and 25% from 3.

    As far as gameplay I don’t care what they say about 2K24, I won’t fall for the marketing hype again. 23 got me for the amazing legends/MJ content and more authentic sigs/presentation etc. and I’m still enjoying that. But we have to accept by now that it doesn’t matter how a 2K plays at launch. Within the first few patches it’ll be whittled away to play like every old 2K. That’s obviously whatever coding formula they’ve concluded maximizes them online profits and every single 2K will always end up playing that way.

      I loooved the way it played until the season 4 patch. I especially loved it right out of the box. It would be so awesome if they could revert it for one night, just for a few hours before the daily update. Allowing a lot of people who want to play offline and liked the game play pre patches to get that revision. I bet a lot of sim guys would grab the update then disconnect for good.


      I'd uninstall and reinstall again but I truly like custom rosters and I have a digital copy so the only way I can install it is being online.

        I'm back to trying to get the CPU to be competitive again. I think I'll probably be able to find the right slider mix but the issue becomes the fact that I've been constantly readjusting sliders with every gameplay change that's hit over the past three months or so.

        There's really something to be said for having a consistent mold of clay upon which to sculpt.

          I just want the CPU to stop trying to bully drive on every possession, even with adjusted tendencies. They even do it with poor ball handlers and bigs and somehow don't lose possession.

                I thought I was going crazy but I see now reading through this thread that 2K ruined what was already good gameplay. It certainly seems to change from week to week. I haven't played it in a few weeks now because it feels like a different game every time I touch it. The shooting percentages and missing open inside shots are my main concerns. I'm sick of messing with sliders.

                  I’m actually locked in with pretty good gameplay. Some games hot some cold. Good teams are tough. If I don’t have good shooters I struggle to score. I do have a little bit of a struggle finding a sweet spot with threes between too good and not good enough. Right now I have both Human and CPU at 60. I’m not seeing the wild swings day to day like I was.

                    I just keep the game on Superstar. Honestly, I think it's playing pretty well at the moment. Computer is hitting shots again. I'm hitting shots. Interior defense is toned more realistically and better than both on release and the big change. I really don't have any complaints at the moment.

                      I am on Pro with my custom sliders and we made some adjustments. Game is playing great.

                        The whole game now is just the CPU putting its head down and driving into you on every possession, usually getting through because they seemingly can't lose the ball and you can't move in any direction in a defensive stance without sliding.

                        Meanwhile the CPU can latch itself to you defensively and is seemingly not affected by momentum. It's just hot garbage.

                            I only play against CPU but I've used Pro as a base successfully by just tweaking sliders. The issues only tend to pop up when 2K tinkers with gameplay and I have to figure out which sliders I need to readjust.

                            I imagine I'm just not great with shot timing but higher difficulties makes shooting feel very, very difficult for me, where I almost never feel successful. Pro allows me to feel successful in situations I feel I should be.

                              I use Real FG and Real FT. Feel’s and plays great for my skill level.

                                Lmao. Game has been decent overall but some really dumb stuff pops up.

                                I’m on HoF AND turned shot timing impact down to 10 and defensive jumpshot strength to 10, so CPU SHOULD be raining shots.

                                Instead Steph went 8/39 FG and 7/34 from 3 as the CPU.

                                Hilarious.
