Did The Last Patch screw this game up??..

Re: Did The Last Patch screw this game up??..

What are you meaning by default release?

In Controller Settings, Under Shot Timing Profile, select Difficulty-Based. Lay-ups set to Real-Player %.. I have my slider settings for Human/CPU at 50/50 in terms of scoring.

These settings have given me a better feel, more open game. Fast Break a lot and you players will fatigue faster resulting them sitting the bench more and longer recovery. You'll notice the computer goin on noticeable streaks which aren't out of reason.

I’ve never tried difficulty based. I just put it on real percentage for both, because of all the bs Mike has put into shooting

Re: Did The Last Patch screw this game up??..

I have become the worst defensive player ever on this patch - I haven't had the CPU shoot under 55% for a game yet. Decided to put it onto semi-pro difficulty just to get some confidence back, and CHarlotte is 13/19 after one quarter and put up 34 points in 10 minutes

I'm generally an okay player (usually play superstar or at least off a superstar base) but I'm just a turnstile.

Just give space and slide back not to the side

Im 50/50 when playing defense. Sometimes on ball some times off ball depending on the match up. defense is definitely bout angles forcing to help side or sidelines.

Idk how but your right this game does play better with this setting.

The issue I get is the CPU will often just keep pushing into me. So I might try and give space and cut off angles, but they will just keep driving into me until eventually the animation "gives" and they get past, or I get knocked out of the way. I would much prefer it if cutting off the angle forced the CPU into a pass or a different mode of attack.

I probably just need to keep playing around with tendencies and body sensitivity settings. I'm also playing on default rosters without adjusting playbooks, so every CPU offense is basically just relentless driving to the basket and spamming floppy actions.

Have you tried the settings i posted previously. These issues you're having sound simular to what i was dealing with until i made my adjustments.

Yeah man, i was bout ready to give up on this game until i reverted back, and the game plays more balanced again now.

I’ve been playing that way for awhile and it’s honestly the only way to play. I use rhythm shooting with the meter off too and haven’t had problems on offense unless I’m just chucking up bad shots (which does happen ).

On defense, my only issue is the pro play animations going to the hoop that are a little too OP at times. But in MyNBA I make sure I setup my defensive matchups and changes against the team I’m playing so I have better defense. The matchups go a long way I find since when I have good defenders, I don’t have as much trouble stopping those animations.

Shooting has been changed again. I had moved all the shooting sliders to 65 and then 66 bc I still wasn't making shots and now all of a sudden I'm winning games by 30 points.

Re: Did The Last Patch screw this game up??..

it's so annoying that they keep tweakin **** for the park users. stop w this bull**** 2K. complete utter lack of confidence and this passing off of all these different settings just screams they don't know what they're doing. just make the game how you intend and work on the next iteration after that. stop throwing all these options and bending at the knee of park player complaints and changing the gameplay for the nba aspect. it has seriously gone downhill ever since the dawn of all this VC microtransaction BS. horrible horrible stuff all around. worst 2K in years

I don’t know where you guys are seeing shooting changed. They didn’t mention any changes to shooting numbers and I’m still seeing the same results as before the patch. Played 5 games and my averages are right where they usually are without changing anything.

I think you are right about the shooting not changing but now I am noticing the other team isn't scoring as much (something is keeping the games from being as competitive as they were.) Seems to me that the CPU was more aggressive and making more contested shots before the patch. I don't know EXACTLY what it was I just know with the same exact sliders I was in back and forth games and now I'm easily winning by 30+

Especially at the beginning of the matches ,they clearly dumbed down AI's speed on defence also offensive awareness and consistency.If you miss more then the AI in that period,those attributes slowly increase.If you torch them they turn into brick walls 2k23 style!

I play on HOF and jacked the sliders up to higher 60s to restore the gameplay to somewhat how it played a month ago.Increasing AI speed fixes defence but opens up other set of problems so i am still figuring out the defence part.

In order to dumb down the game all you need to do is open up a BS post and just to cover up the skill the issue by pointing the finger at 'cheating' AI.2K will immediately bring a candy!

Every damn year the trauma of '22 and especially '23.It never ends.
