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.

I thought that was a delayed block animation it happens all the time.

You're absolutely correct, because I play Center and it happens a lot, and it causes rebounding issues.

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

Having watched a little NBA tonight on TNT Its painfully obvious how far NBA 2k14 ONLINE Play is away from reality. let me preface my suggestions by saying they are based upon ONLINE Play only since I do not play OFFLINE

ONLINE ISSUES:

Online Stability and Gameplay - Each year when the game drops there seems to be an online stability problem for everyone or a select few online gamers. 2K usually remedies the problem in a week or two but the annual consistency of this issue is a concern. Another point of emphasis is normally the first week or two when you are actually able to play the game it seems to play quite realistically. Then I'm not sure if 2K tunes the game or they have to make some sort of change to online stability but all of a sudden it seems like the old problems reveal themselves quite quickly

1. 3pt Shooting Effectiveness - Something needs to be done about 3pt shot accuracy and 3pt shots that are contested. Contesting a 3pt seems to have no affect on the quality of the shot. Also there should be some sort of AI feedback concerning the quality and context in which a 3pt shot is taken. In sum...too many 3pt shots go in that are just mindless shots that are not set up. Dribbling around the perimeter gingerly until you get to a hot spot and shooting a contested 3pt shot is far too effective in this game.

2. Rebounding - maybe this is a legacy problem but every year defenders seem to go dumb when the ball is in the air failing to go after loose balls OR on the flipside they will for some unexplained reason chase a ball that they should not touch giving away a possession. IMO there is some sort of offensive rebounding bug that kicks in a couple time a game causing a team to get their own rebound maybe 4-5 times consecutively even when outnumbered under the boards.

3. Spamming Steal Button- fouls should be far more prevalent for players who just continually spam the steal button...I'm sure there has to be some sort of skill mapped to stealing the ball but it is negated by the fact that you can repeatedly spam the steal button with little consequence.

This issue is particularly critical when utilizing inside players who IMO are ripped far too easily.

Maybe its too late on current gen but hopefully these online issues can be addressed in the next gen game.

Is there even going to be a patch, since this haven't been stickied yet?

Fine tune default controls I can't shade no matter how much I try even with a new controller also triple threat with default controls seem funky.

Better response from controls I press jump/block next thing I'm doing it multiple times.

Better awareness from a.i,

No more 90% last second shot makes.

What's point in having tendencies and attributes when players don't play according to them or don't play to their attributes.

How much fan support we need b4 gm actually makes trade for us what we requested or trade people away. Ur force to be star of team yet such a hassle to get players u want to play with yet alone getting decent games out of them without hero ball

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

to put it simply - the rebound button DOESN'T WORK. it's the one area of the game that is actually BROKEN. you press the rebound button, and your player just stands there, frozen. you MASH the rebound button repeatedly, you're player still stands there frozen...he doesn't jump or reach for the ball.

seems especially problematic when you are already controlling a big man in the paint after you contest an inside shot. it's like after the shot goes up the game won't get you rebound. you can mash the rebound button 10 times and your player still won't jump or reach for the ball. the button is broken.

no wonder the CPU always out-rebounds me - i lose so many easy rebounds because the damn button doesn't work.

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

Yeah add COACH name I would like to see the what coach I have or around league and their skill level.

Increase trade percentage. IF IM STAR Player on team and I ask to trade away player. TRADE HIM AWAY. Especially when GM say he will take my side and look for trades.

ALSO TIRED OF LOSING OPTION IS HORRIBLE.

I didn't mind if u don't get players every time u ask or even if I get the basic GM response bout to having trade players away. I wouldn't be asking it if we were 5-29 and I'm force to play HERO BALL yet still LOSE!

At least bring up option to let me select players.

ALSO I would love to know Exactly what does LOCAL FAN SUPPORT AFFECT.

Also fix CHEMISTRY all it shows is 1-10 in home screen in MYCAREER. While it shows 1-100% under fan support in Social Tab.



I shouldn't have to jump team to team all b/c The GM logic is horrible Fix IT.

Another thing is when u do jump u jump multiple times taking u out of position for rebound or block.

Also CPU Big Men wont rebound they just sit there and look at ball NO MATTE THAT THEY HAVE THE REBOUNDING SKILL and 90+ in OFF/DEF rebounding. TIred of watching MY BIG MEN GET THEIR SALAD TOSS DOWN LOW IN PAINT.

1. SLIGHTLY increase the shot % make for Wide Open shots (meaning a defender isn't within miles of the shooter). Not 2k13 levels, but there should be more forgiveness of shot timing on super wide open shots and if you have a decent outside shooter.

2. There is a glitch for the blacktop leaderboards. Apparently if you dashboard right after a game, you don't get the loss. This allows some to have insane winning streaks (that are false) and never get losses simply by dashboarding before the game ends.

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

Here's a video i made discussing a problem with the moving catch-and-shoot animations. I hope this can be addressed in the patch, but maybe it's not patchable due to the new passing system...I hope that's not the case.

<iframe width="480" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/n9ZPhRSjuvA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

It looks like the difference is in the passing. On the user replay there was a bounce pass, as opposed to the CPU pass which looked to be more like a lead pass. I get what you're saying, but I think it does come down to the passing.

I'm not a big fan of the control changes that were made with the 'flash pass'. I reverted back to the old controls. It'd be nice if there was some way to meld the best parts of 13s controls, and 14s controls.

For the most part, ppl I know who play and love NBA 2k haven't really enjoyed the new controls... And the ppl online I play seem to dislike them as well. I know there's plenty of folks who like the new control system... But I think that's part of the problem. Since there are now a myriad of ways to pass, it will directly affect the animations (especially the catch and shoot) unless you're spotting up from the corners.

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

Request to patch out 2kInsider....

Request to patch out slow get up animations after some falls.....its nice to see but pointless if there is no real-time injuries....

As mentioned rebound button does not respond...

For those having issues with block button I suggest tapping the button instead... if you mash the button like a madman he will jump more than once and you end up out of position....

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

I figured I'd make a thread for patch suggestions. I know there's already a 2k15 wishlist thread, but this is more for immediate fixes that can be addressed in a patch.


1. I think the main thing that bothers me right now is the shot success logic. Too many difficult or contested shots are going in.

Lower the success rate of post-up turn-around fades...and lower the success rate even more when these are contested. It seems like the game does not register contests against those shot types. Those post-up turn-around fade aways and hooks are driving me nuts. They go in at a crazy percentage. You can time your contest well, get a hand in their face - the game doesn't seem to recognize the contest at all. The Knicks are the cheesiest in this area. They get so many points off of posting up and shooting contested turn-arounds.

Contact layups go in way too much. success on all contact shots should be lowered. The game favors the offensive player too much right now. On defense, if you are able to get in front of the ball handler, get your hands up, and force contact, then the shot should miss most of the time...but it's crazy how often your opponent can lean into you in the paint, toss up a leaning prayer contact shot and sink it.

Basically, defense (contests, contact) doesn't seem to lower shot percentage enough. Shot difficulty also doesn't seem to make much difference in shot success (turn-around fade aways seem to go in just as much as regular jumpers).

On the other hand, good old-fashioned open shots don't seem to go in enough.

2. Foul calls in the paint feel arbitrary. I'll be standing there doing the "hands up" move with the right stick, the shooter will shoot into me yet I'll be called for a foul. Standing with your hands up is not a foul, that's just good defense. Stop calling fouls on defenders just for standing there. if you get your hands up and don't leave your feet, you should not pick up a foul call.

NOTE: this is all while playing on Sim/Allstar settings.

OFFLINE, you forgot to add. Also fouls are dictated by tendencies unless its a reachin situation. Check players tendendies to see that some draw fouls at higher rate then others.

No just learn the release and dont rely on a the "A+" on the screen. Its wrong anyways. We dont need any more shot boosting with all these sig skills

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

Are you making open shots against the computer Illosophy? I am not an online player. Head to head it seems fine. I am specifically playing against the computer on superstar sim and shots are not falling. It could be that I don't have a hang of shot releases, but in the ebb and flow of the game open looks playing the computer miss more than they should.

Should have been the first thing you mentioned. We dont need HOF SIM online gimped to make it easy. Shots are determined by ratings and tendencies as well as the most important CONSISTANCY.
