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

Gotcha, I play on All-Star-Superstar/ Default....I was going to make a thread about this...even though I am a sim guy I haven't played on simulation mode the last couple of years....I have honestly found default to be more enjoyable...mostly because of the non shooting slider changes that come with simulation mode... I think they are outdated..

That would explain the foul/ made shots differential were seeing...

well, there's your answer. it's probably simulation mode that's making me see all this stuff. maybe i'll switch to default then. isn't simulation mode 2k's recommended mode?

on top of the contested turn-around cheese from Carmelo, Amare and Chandler...J.R. Smith and Felton hit contested jumpers in my face, and Felton makes contact layups and picking up undeserved fouls in the paint by forcing contact into stationary defenders.

I basically just keep using these same 2 teams because i'm trying to figure out how to counter all the Knicks stuff. Maybe it's just the Knicks. Or maybe it's just something about the matchup with the Warriors that makes the Knicks play extra strong. I've been playing with these same 2 teams for about 15-20 games and it's the same Knicks garbage every time. I can beat them sometimes, but i only win by 2 or 3 points, and they still pull plenty of cheese even when i win.

Not sure, It should definitely be adjusted though ..like I said its pretty outdated from 2k11 IMO..

The fact that they pretty much eliminate knocking the ball lose/ getting deflections always annoyed me about simulation..

I heard Mike say something to the affect that the game was tuned on superstar sim or something like that but I do the same as 24th and I've won and lost games on strategy alone. Its fun even using crappy teams like the Wizards who can't rebound for crap. No two games are alike and everything isnt a blowout

Patch Kyrie Irving, that kid is 10x the player lebron is in this game.

Either that or make online quick match difficulty higher.

I have also noticed my wide open 3s have been missing as well especially with Chandler Parsons. he goes like 1-6, 2-7 on wide open 3s and he has an 85 which is the highest on the Rockets(who i use every game). James harden also misses way to many open mid range. But Kyrie can shoot lights out througg double teams and finish layups getting hit by dwight.

Speaking of Dwight, I like him.

Fix the shot feedback. When I switch my controls back to 2k13 let it be FULL 2k13 controls and PLEASE add offensive and defensive 3 seconds to crews mode. I am a fan of of the blocking system...however I have seen shots blocked with a few armpits just saying

How do you switch back to 2k13 controls?!?

You really need to use some sliders. =) Played the Knicks with a modified version of JA Money14's sliders and didn't really have a bad experience outside of losing because of momentum and my own stupidity. Didn't see many bad shots go in after a few 12 min quarter games. A couple crazy layups did, but nothing game breaking.

Sim sliders out of the box are just not that great. Default is probably "better" because you make more difficult shots and stuff like blocks is probably easier.

I think you'll see the same cheese regardless of what team you play due to the CPU's default tendencies. It's just worse with the Knicks because they have a plethora of outside shooters. And because of the overpowered momentum code, the cheese the Knicks pull off with standard sliders just makes it that much more of a problem.

Seriously, sliders. The increased layup defense alone will probably save you many migraines.

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

I think the biggest problem with the game is the plays.

So many plays are broken in the game. I'd hazard a guess as to more than half the plays in the game are broken and stall.

The effect this has on gameplay is -- at times -- a killer.

Playing the thunder just now (with the Jazz), and their playbook must be littered with broken plays.

So many times late in the shot clock after watching a ball handler stand out near the three point lane while no player moves, just to watch Westbrook or Lamb lob up a miracle J as the shot clock expires.

Another thing about the thunder. In the 3 games I've played them Durant is barely noticed. Lamb, Westbrook, Jackson and Fisher all took more shots than him.

ftr ... I blew them out 102- 89, but it felt much more. I opened up the first qtr at one stage leading them 25-9 before they rallied.

I saw their defence pressure my shooters, and then when I started taking it into the paint they collapsed that and locked the paint down.

The side effect to this saw another issue.

Both Ibaka & Perk got into foul trouble and had 4 fouls by halfime. The CPU played them like they normally would, disregarding the foul sitch.

Perk fouled out late in the 3rd qtr and Perk within the first couple of minutes of the 4th.

At one stage Fisher was playing power forward while Perry & Gomes sat on the bench with 100 stamina in the tank.

So there's in a nutshell the biggest problems with this game. The playbook. Weed out the broken plays and just scrap them.

Then some CPU player rotation AI needs adjusting. Managing foul troubles and the bench better.

If Beluba can patch that, this game will be talked about for the next decade.

PC and general bugs:

PC only:
- the cool new starting screen for drills is a great idea, no load-save-saving-saving-load-saving... now. You can start a new drill faster - UNLESS it breaks after your very first drill. Now you go back to the old method, because you can only select "Quit" after a drill.
- also, remaining drills number is bugged. Says 2 remaining when I just finished one of the original two.
- D-pad (display signature skills and defensive calls) only work in Scrimmage mode, but not in actual games. Defensive sets can be displayed, but not signature skill display.
- MotionJoy gamepad support is great, but too sensitive. Your guy sometimes jumps uncontrollably.

General gameplay:
- players not shooting when they are open
- guards scoring 80% of the time from driving. Including players like Steph Curry - he never shoots three pointers when your MyPlayer is on the court with him. He shoots ok while you "sim to your next appearance"
- some players not shooting at all, very big problem. E.g. in 12 min quarters Superstar difficulty vs. the Maverics, Nowitzky took 0 (zero) shots, finishing with 0 points. He was on the court but did nothing. This is gamebreaking.

Fix the logic for which team gets the ball after someone knocks it out. Ive seen multiple instances when the wrong team is awarded the ball after an out of bounds play.

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

WAAAAAAAAAAY too many wide open shots are missing. i'm almost convinced that 2k has enacted a shooting percentage cap where you can't shoot over 50% for certain stretches. i repeatedly miss wide open 3 after wide open 3 with the Warriors. meanwhile my opponent can force up junk contact layups and contested turn-arounds and drill them. the shot success logic is all kinds of jacked up in this game. it doesn't matter what kind of shots players are taking or whether or not they're open. shot quality doesn't seem to mean anything anymore. i want 2k11 shot success logic back.

This Rocker... It is kind of deflating to work for a shot and have it miss. I understand open shooters miss but the consistency of misses is greater than the consistency of makes. The success rate in 2k11 was perfect about this. There is something going on under the hood where there is stretches where you can not hit a shot. Wide open shots do miss alot more.

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

I hope that they re-evaluate and remove silly attribute caps in MyCareer. Why can a PG only go up to 92 speed, 92 passing, etc.?


Also add the alley-oop back into the 2K13 controls option. I'm really not feeling these new ones.

Attribute caps in MyCareer is for sig skills to react. If you're a 99 in everything, there would be no reason for signature skills. (And IMO they want Lebron to stay the best player on the game.)

I've played maybe 10 games, and I've only had 1 where I was getting open looks and the shot wasn't falling. Seems much more realistic to me. Especially vs 2k13 open guys were automatic with open shots.

Keep it as is.

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.

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

Biggest patch requests:

1) Ignore any and all noob suggestions
2) For the most part, keep the game AS-IS There's bigger risk in changing it than not.


The game:

- I've experienced sliding when some big dude just pushes me outta the way if I'm next to him. Literally slide a few feet like I bounce off of him. Is this because of Bruiser sig? If so it's unrealistic.

- Have 12 -15 roster spots for crew. 6 is ridiculous because the stars have to align for everyone to be on at the same time.

- My controller settings and game settings are not saving after I turn off console. I'll try deleting settings but for now, not working.
