Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

I'm ecstatic I was able to sell my PS3 for $150 over the summer. I still have my 360 but don't touch it. I do play PC games though if I'm ever "bored" of the PS4 but that hasn't happened yet.

I'm the exact opposite.

PS4 is mainly a Crunchyroll/Netflix/HuluPlus machine, whereas I'll play the PS3 or rarely the PS4 if I get bored with PC games.

Obviously it will replace the PS3 once it builds up a decent catalog of games, but the PS3 has so many RPGs out worth playing (and still coming out - NEW PERSONA!) that I can't replace it yet.

Yeah I occasionally get the urge to buy a PS4, but the PS3 and Vita are still keeping me plenty busy. Especially now that you can get games for cheaper now. I feel pretty comfortable waiting till Spring to cop a PS4. Don't blame you all one bit for being early adopters though...

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Anyone else regret selling their PS3 so early? Not much games to play on the PS4 that are actually more than ports from old gen.

Thats why I kept my 360. I regretted selling my xbox when i got the 360 at launch last gen and I was left with very few games to play for the first few months.

I love my ps4 but I actually play my 360 more at this point. Still playing GTA, WWE, UFC and NBA2k14 (since its so screwy on the ps4).

I'm not selling mine, got too many CD's saved on there to get rid of it.

I had put it away for the last two weeks though to play Madden & NBA2K
on the PS4. Missed the Show too much so this morning I put the PS4 away till March & hooked the PS3 back up.
Gonna put the PS4 out of my mind till March.

Yeah, I'm keeping my 360 and probably moving it to another room once I get a Xbox One.

Still keeping my PS3 for Blu-Ray too, maybe moving that somewhere too. Just doesn't seem that worth it to sell right now. I could eventually just give/sell it to my parents cheap so they have a current system.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

I saw someone with a title while streaming from their ps4 zen pinball in a live stream. I got excited thinking i could transfer my star wars and other tables to the ps4 version. But it was actually pinball arcade with the wrong title lol It looks like next week is for zen pinball 2 available on ps4.

I didn't sell my PS3 or 360.

I'm a little underwhelmed with the launch titles. This week I've been playing NCAA 14 on the 360 and The Walking Dead/The Wolf Among Us on PS3. I'm hoping that the once the patch releases for NBA 2k14 that I will get me back into playing Next Gen games.

Spoiler

2K Sports submitted title update #3 last week for Xbox One and PS4. It's available now for Xbox One users, later for PS4 (No ETA). Once the patch notes have been revealed later today, we'll post them here.

Based off of early feedback, you can't save rosters to the hard drive and there are still people crashing in MyCareer mode. Da_Czar mentioned offline playbooks are fixed. Let us know what you are seeing.

UPDATE: Patch notes have arrived.

GENERAL

• Fixed an issue in The Park where matches were not starting appropriately, in addition to a large number of optimizations for this experience.
  
• Addressed a number of issues that were known to cause disconnects during head-to-head and Team-Up gameplay.
  
• Corrected an issue where an assigned dunk package would sometimes not be used in The Park.
  
• Fixed a number of issues that should result in a much more stable experience for users playing in Leagues.
  
• Addressed an issue where the user would encounter a lengthy blank black screen during the initial launch sequence in certain conditions.
  
• Fixed a bug where user Settings weren’t properly saving in specific situations.
  
• Fixed a case where the user would experience a loss of controller functionality despite having a controller turned on (XB1).
  
• Fixed a case where the user would enter into an unresponsive state after a second user signed in and then subsequently signed out (XB1).
  
• Fixed an issue where the title did not send game invites to all Xbox Party members when a user enters a joinable online matchmaking session (XB1).
  
• The title will now receive game invites if the user is already in an Xbox Party with the host (XB1).
  
• Addressed an issue where blocked users were allowed to enter matchmaking with each other (XB1).
  
• Fixed an issue where the title would shut down when resuming from low-power standby (XB1).

GAMEPLAY

• Slightly reduced the shot % penalty on fouls in order to create more appropriate ‘and-1’ situations.
  
• Tuned shooting percentages such that they fall more in line with our expected results.
  
• Addressed an issue where teams would call timeouts back-to-back in certain situations.
  
• Fixed an issue where the camera would sometimes stay on the scorer after a made shoot, often resulting in a 5-second inbound violation.
  
• Passes are now more accurate along the sideline, on fast breaks, and when passed to receivers who are in the middle of coming to a stop.
  
• Shortened the distance receivers are led down court (when passing) during regular transition (non-fast break) offense.
  
• Fixed an issue where the rebound button would sometimes be ignored when engaged in a boxout.
  
• Made several improvements to the dribbling model in order to smooth out ball movement.
  
• Adjusted physics calculations on in-air collisions to make defenders ‘stronger’.
  
• Tuned shot blocking logic such that defenders are more aware of attempting blocks when the ball is still rising, and less likely to target the ball on its way down (when goaltending will be called).
  
• Tuned down the likelihood that poorly rated blockers will get their blocking hand in perfect position in front of the ball.
  
• Players who successfully block a shot are now more aware and will have a greater chance of recovering the loose ball if it falls nears them.
  
• Fixed an issue where players who shouldn’t be physically able to body-up in ride collisions were able to do so at a higher than expected frequency.
  
• Tuned the body-up system in order to reduce the amount of clipping present in this sequence.
  
• Made several improvements to fix overextension of player elbows during steal/rebound opportunities in order to reduce arm pops, and to improve hand/ball interaction.
  
• Addressed a very rare case where a defender would snap up from the ground right after getting knocked down.
  
• Pump Fakes have been tuned to correct an issue where some players would twitch when performing the fake.
  
• Addressed a rare issue where the game would potentially hang after a player fouled out during a Team-Up game.
  
• A new and improved ‘Beluba’ camera is now available for your use.
  
• Corrected a commentary issue where the commentators would discuss (and often praise) a player for a given statistic when the sample size of the stat does not merit the discussion.
  
• A number of other smaller changes have been made to address issues as well as enhance the user experience.

MyCAREER

• Fixed a hang that was known to occur when loading save files where a purchased accessory had been equipped.
  
• Fixed an issue where users would get stuck in the Shooting Drill when they had previous changed their Shooting Type to Real Player %.
  
• The in-performance VC earnings overlay will now match what is actually given to the user upon returning to the travel scene between games.
  
• Addressed an issue where player names were occasionally not showing up correctly when dynamic goals were handed out.
  
• Corrected an issue where the title would not resume following a timeout called shortly after halftime.
  
• Fixed a hang that could occur when the game would try to simulate ahead in scrimmages.
  
• Fixed an issue where games would be unintentionally simulated when viewing the NBA.com headline about clinching a playoff spot.
  
• Corrected a rare issue where the user would be unable to progress past the All-Star break after playing many seasons.
  
• Corrected a rare issue where users would not get the VC reward for accomplishing a milestone.
  
• Users will no longer get drafted 30th overall after turning in an impressive performance in the Rookie Showcase.
  
• Additional ‘fake’ rookies (some quite good) will no longer be generated after the NBA Draft at the outset of the mode.
  
• Identified a rare case where the game could hang in the dunk contest at all-star weekend if the user left the controller unattended for a period of time (this fix applies for MyGM all-star dunk contest as well).
  
• Addressed discrepancies between dynamic goals and follow-up press conferences, headlines, and social media messages.
  
• Fixed an issue where the reporter would reference a stat incorrectly when asking the user a press conference question after a played game.
  
• Tuned AI behaviors such that teammates that are unhappy with your MyPLAYER will now show it more often after the whistle.
  
• Corrected a very rare issue where a user’s attributes would be lowered to 25 in all categories.
  
• Players will now retire completely in later seasons at an appropriate age (rather than sitting in free agency).
  
• A number of smaller issues (e.g. social media message cleanup) in addition to further mode tuning have been performed in this patch to enhance user satisfaction.

MyGM

• Corrected an issue where some users would hang when attempting to start the mode with an edited roster.
  
• Addressed a bug where players would ask for contracts in the MLE pricing range when they clearly deserve contracts of much greater worth.
  
• Corrected an issue where certain injuries were not properly healing in the expected amount of time.
  
• Addressed a display error on the Team Finances pricing graphs where it would display the user’s team as earning $0 in specific situations.
  
• Fixed a number of issues pertaining to the hiring and firing of head coaches and assistant coaches. This should now be more reliable.
  
• Corrected and optimized a number of owner goals to ensure they always fire at appropriate times (e.g. staff hiring goals will now always respect the available budget) and that they don’t conflict one another.
  
• Staff goals will now fire in the offseason even when the user has opted to simulate past the Staff Signing period.
  
• There will now always be a minimum level staff member available to sign when the user’s team does not have the budgetary funds available for a higher level staff member.
  
• Addressed an issue where players that retired to become coaches would get their name randomized.
  
• Corrected a rare hang that would occur when the user’s team suffered an in-game injury where the user later performed an in-game save to resume the game at a later time.
  
• When asking the CPU to rebuild lineups, the player roles set by the user will now be respected in most situations.
  
• Tuned player morale/player roles logic to be slightly more forgiving.
  
• Tuned the height ranges for generational players to be more in-line with our original intentions.
  
• A number of other smaller corrections and tunings have taken place to enhance user satisfaction.

NOTE: All patch fixes are intended to work in your existing game mode saves (MyCAREER, MyGM, etc.).

It came out yesterday for Xbox 1. Us PS4 are still waiting on approval from Sony.

Oh and good luck getting any actual impressions from the 2k forum.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

I've decided to never venture into those forums if I really want to keep enjoying the game which I still am for the most part apart from some Madden like catch-up tendencies I've experienced.

Yeah. IMO I'd rather not know about bugs you can exploit. If I don't know I'll enjoy the game. Once I know stuff like that will eat at you.

I try and only have fun with games now and aren't as harsh on them. I don't spend as much time playing as I used to, so why stress?

PS+ and Xbox Live Gold are great for the old systems though, because that's instant free games for the account you primarily use on a new console.

I just did my warranty, but i selected the 400-499.99. Is there anyway to change it to the 399.99 and get refunded some money or is it fine the way it is?
