Re: NBA 2k14 patch - post your suggestions for fixes

Patch the god awful semi "live" ball physics. They're terrible resulting in waaay too many idiotic turnovers(how many times do you see a player just lose the ball because their teammate ran into the ball and knocked it out of their hands?) The ball physics are terrible and the ball reacts more like a tennis ball or something really light in the sense that anything barely close to it disrupts it immensely. I've gotten more steals as a result of the ball handler dribbling the ball off my leg or the side of my arm barely grazing the ball without even hitting the steal button. It's stupid. In general i feel players are just too lose with the ball, it's like they barely have a grip on it. I've gotten ridiculous blocks of centers layups with my point guard just because i bumped it on the way up. That type of stuff doesn't happen as much usually and it doesn't feel as satisfying. It's just like 2k12 with the whole random body parts blocking shots and point guards stuffing bigs.

MyPatch:

1. Blacktop court lags for 5 seconds when ball goes out of bounds at either of the corners. Single player and Online.

2. Standing Dunks just don't work. In 2K13 my 5'7 PG could do a Standing Dunk on a 55 max rating. My 7'0 SF isn't able to do a Standing Dunk on a 75 max rating with Vertical maxed at I believe 90. Seems like players are forced into sloppy layups so that they intentionally get blocked.

3. Shooting is horribly off. Excellent, A and A+ releases miss too often. It's as if your timing doesn't matter at all because whether you are releasing properly there's a 50% chance it won't even go in. 2K13 seemed to have this correct.

4. Crew Mode needs a minimum of 10 available slots. Not everyone is available at all times. Running a 5v5 usually involves kicking a member to invite people that are Online at that particular moment.

5. Full Arm Sleeves slightly overlap shirts at the shoulders as a player moves.

2 and 3 feel like must fixes for me, everything else is just being picky.

The success rate of euro-step layups needs to be toned down. I play on HOF/sim 12 mins vs other online users in my league. The rate at which these go in are crazy. You don't even need a guy that is known to do euros. I see guys like Marquis Teague and Dunleavy making euros, sometimes even getting the and 1. Do it with a guy who has finisher and acrobat like Tyreke Evans and it gets a bit ridiculous.

Eurosteps, hopsteps, and all contact layups/shots go in way to easy.
This has taken all the strategy out of the game. All you need to do to score now is euro or turbo or up and under into traffic and get an and one or foul.

On of the most frustrating parts of the game.
I am starting to believe that you could play better defense in 13 than you can in 14. SMH. Hopefully, a patch can bring defense back.

It makes me want to not euro. Don't want people thinking I'm trying to cheese. The only guy I euro with is Evans because that's a move he is know for pulling off, but he makes it almost everytime. Then I see these bum 6ft PGs who have never done this move in a game let alone with a 6' 10 guy on them hitting it. Hell Anthony Davis can euro with consistency, and get fouled or score.

Fix the online leaderboards so that they show the per game averages, and not just only the total.

the live ball physics are great. it forces you to actually pay attention to where you're dribbling...if you don't want to dribble off your teammate, pay attention to where he's moving and don't dribble right toward him.

yeah, the live ball physics cause some weird stuff to happen sometimes, but that's a small price to pay for finally having a game that forces the user to pay attention to where they're going. the problem is that the game doesn't have the technology yet to create contextual "scenario-specific" dribble moves where the ball handler tries to dribble the ball in tight spaces or around defenders. once those types of dribble animations are added, the random knocking loose of balls will not be a problem anymore. for now, we just have to deal with it. i'd rather have live ball with some occasional weird turnovers than no live ball where people can just dribble through arms and bodies with no awareness of their surroundings.

Re: NBA 2k14 patch - post your suggestions for fixes

1. PLEASE fix my CPU teammates that watch the ball bounce in front of them...or in some cases 2 teammates watching the same freakin ball and doing nothing to get it. Ball awareness or whatever.

2. The CPU's ability to drive without consequences of losing the ball. DeAndre Jordan pulling spin moves in the paint like he's CP3 is crazy

3. While boxing out the CPU seems to magically warp past my player or simply pushes my player outta the way

4. Going for a block yesterday I timed it PERFECTLY with KG to block LBJ on a fadeaway...at the apex of the block on the replay KG pulls his hand back to allow LBJ the shot. Who jumps to pull their hand back? I'd rather you just call the foul on me man...

5. Not sure if it's ME but sometimes what I input into the controller isn't represented on the screen. I tell my player to jump....nothing....or to attempt a steal ...nothing...dunno

That's all

Court Updates.

Re: NBA 2k14 patch - post your suggestions for fixes

Patch

1. The behind the backboard shots from 15 feet that go in 90% of the time.
Tired seeing Oden and Perkins hitting it, Kobe & Wade fading away and making it too.

2. The CPU moving my players out of good positions when I pass it: wide open from 12-15 feet but when I pass it they run to 19-21 feet.

3. Players running on a break and soon as I pass it the stop to let the CPU catch up.

4. Catch animations that turn the player into the defender or away from the basket.

P.S. TAKE OUT THAT DRIBBLING DOWN THE COURT LEAN BACK ANIMATION!

This is killing me! I get 4-5 turnover a game because of this.

Re: NBA 2k14 patch - post your suggestions for fixes

There's an issue when you go from defending to rebounding. Your character often goes for a blocking animation when it should go for a rebound.

I have some examples of it in this video. At 0:45 I block a shot and try to collect the ball after that but my player just jumps around trying to block. Same thing at 7:54 and probably somewhere else in there too.
