Has that changed? I recall 2k won a fairly high profile lawsuit a few years ago that they didn't have to get permission or pay tattoo artists for those in the game.

They did win and it hasn't changed at all

Re: New NBA 2K24 Patch Coming Soon - Patch Notes

Those three months we were able to offer rookie scale extensions were great, I wish I'd cherished them more

It pays to check before making petulant posts like this. Rookie scale extensions are available again!

Buying a ps5 just for 2k is pretty crazy but hey

I bought an XBox Series S just for 2K21 lol.

For the record, 2K20 was my first 2K and I’ve never said a new one is worse than the one it replaced until 2K24 (contrary to Strossdood trying to paint that picture).

I did the same for NBA 2K22.

Wow for 2k20 being your first! im old lol

I would pay for them to update players appearances. I mean you want people to by vc and I'm not doing that but I would pay for player appearances updates

Might as well throw that bread at a gaming PC bro

Will open up an entire new world to you as far as art updates

Anyone having issues with the AI scoring in modern era? I’ve used sliders and default SS the AI just shoots under 40% every game. It was fine before. It’s fine in the Lebron era but modern day is where I see the issue. Bummer.

Id rather pay extra for any art update to replicate the real NBA likeness to a "T"
like paying VC than to play in PC with a very outdated last gen experience. if that is only way to resolved this issue.

Re: NBA 2K24 Patch Available Today - Season 4 Arriving on January 12 - Patch Notes

I get why they nerfed it but I think the issue was not the pass itself but both the way the defender plays the pass and the pre pass contact between the defender and offensive player. There needs to be more pre pass contact in general. Bomb passes and forced passes where the defender has good position need to go errant more frequently and people that have a defender or multiple defenders draped over them need not be able to catch the ball cleanly, if at all.

I only ever use that pass if my opponent is playing off ball and fishing for steals on the perimeter and if I notice that the cutter is running into help defense I'd press O to cancel the pass. Making it instantaneous pretty much kills that option.

Like you said about a lack of prepass contact. I can go a whole PNO player control game seeing zero offball prepass contact yet one of the teams is spamming and forcing the ball inside to a cutter. The defense rarely gets a bodyup animation until the ball is caught on those cut passes. I cant figure out how to be physical with my player when the pass is in flight. You basically have to play the pass and try to steal or recover position and wait for the catch animation to start, otherwise they slide past you easily and you are out of the play when they catch.


Let me be clear i think the issue is only when the pass is in flight; bodyups on layups or gathers or even pass catches is harder on 2k24 but you can still absolutely stonewall people. Lets all hope they keep the AI shooting lights out from 3 wide open, since the removal of the quick cut to basket command takes away a great tool to punish aggressive ppl online who leave the ai, spam steal, and cherry pick.



They didnt nerf the issue though, just being able to force the AI to cut with that button. You can still see the issue in 2k24 with real players cutting or using other methods of making the AI cut, so it just removes the tool that was most people's primary action to keep defenders honest online. I'm real confused why they would do this. Anyone who has been using circle/B for handoffs with the AI already accidentally figured out how to get the ai to cut still too. It just makes the game harder against cheesers online for casuals IMO.


I hope they never do this to handoffs man

I exclusively play against the AI and for me it has ruined the game as the function was essential to get your teammates to make more backdoor cuts, to actually get them to move at all. Unless your're running a set play the rest of the team mostly just stands around and does nothing.


I hadn't touched the game since the patch came out and I realized what they did. Yesterday I gave it another go. Wembanyama was doubled and I had an unmarked player that has a perfect lane to the basket. But what did he do? Nothing. He just kept standing somewhat close to me. I tried the 'lead to basket' pass anyway, but it was useless as the pass was triggered way too early. After that I closed the game again.

It simply is no fun to play offline when 2k takes away necessary tools to even the playing field against the AI just to please the online crowd.

I don't have a PS5 (yet; I'm mulling over getting one, the 4 and Switch were gonna be my last gaming generation but we'll see) so the patch hasn't affected me but sending a cutter while an off ball defender keeps spamming the steal button on the perimeter is the PERFECT counter to off ball defense. Not having that would play right into the off ball defenders' hands.

This reminds me of when they removed the hop step button because the hop step would literally go through defenders like they were ghosts but they didn't fix what was actually wrong with the hop step or physics in general.

I made another post about 2k removing the ability to enter post shot animations from baseline near the sides of the rim. It is funny because today I was just mumbling to myself that they did the same kind of fix for hop steps. I finally figured out how to force that particular gather (it is down and towards the offball hand on the right stick) and realized they just severely limited the area you can do it from in the new games and how far you can hop.

I was in 2KU last patch trying to figure the input out and kept seeing the old OP (2k20 with giannis) hopsteps but the animation just wouldnt move your player downhill at all. Looked very odd to me and ive stopped doing it entirely online since it serves no purpose.


@YDBoUnCe : PS5 AI can easily get hot from 3 if you can get them spot up, wideopen, "claymore badge" type shots. I'm talking 3 in a row back to back to back from the AI having no takeover and a 82 middling 3pt rating and a couple shooting badges... 76OVR kevin huerter is a good example. There were a lot of unobvious advantages to me, like a teammate who picked draymond who regrets his funky jumpshot release (and quits) suddenly can space the floor when they quit to the tune of 12 straight points.

Obviously it isnt that simple though. In PNO 1v1 they will trap with the guy defending your worst shooter; in that case I hope you got a set you memorized (DaCzar on Youtube, must watch him explain how the AI plays with you as a human in a set offense! unlock playing fluidly with your ai and have more fun. Cant stress this enough). We have it a bit easier in PNO5v5, besides the quitters and blatent seller. There are definitely fewer sellers on next gen.

All I could take from this video is how absolutely HORRENDOUS PnR defense is. Why is the tag on the roll man coming from one pass away?

This has been going on for YEARS now.

Im offline player only mostly my nba. How is the gameplay compare to release date version? 2k have this history of ruining gameplay via patch.

Re: NBA 2K24 Patch Available Today - Season 4 Arriving on January 12 - Patch Notes

Just played the game again. notice things that havent touch till now.

- I thought by now they fix the running to walk transition.
- the absurd 3 point shot make by CPU.
- Players appearances a lot of player been rocking diffrent looks for a couple of months now.
- fastbreak transition with slow acceleration for opponent to catch up. both CPU and Player.
- Court still looking like matt texture only the dark colors looking glossy and reflective.

whats the deal this year with 2K in PS5? is this how slow the update from last year aswell? or they really dont touched the NBA side of this that much? asking bcoz i transition to new gen console.
