I love the NBA2k series but its generally buggy as hell on release.
How much of that game do you play?

I've played around 350+ 12 minutes quarter games in NBA2k15 MyLeague, and I'm on XB1. Before that patch, I maxed my slider for fouls and got about10 free throws per game - not enough, but not a BROKEN MODE. Then post patch I eased up on the sliders and got good free throw and foul stats.

You're not making apples to apples comparisons. The issue you mention pales in comparison to a whole set of issues that led the game's chief developer to advise people not to play the whole mode. No one is saying the other games are percect, so don't use that straw man.

I mean, c'mon, man. You're reaching, and I'm not even sure you play NBA2k, as I never see you on those threads.

Also, depending on their QA testing schedule, certain bugs will be found and others wont. I highly doubt their testers are playing the game the same way we do. They probably have some QA procedures set and go through and sign off on what they tested. Then theres the part where QA finds an issue late in the cycle and the developers have to decide if it's a showstopper. Something that literally will prevent the basic functions of the game from working. Anything else probably gets a severity and worked on from there. This has been my experience at the company I work for.

Re: Kolbe says to WAIT to start your CFM

probably good advice. I have played CFM to try and find all the "game breaking" bugs.


when you go put XP into your HC, it shows you spent it, then you go back in and realize it doesn't save....you wonder if ANY testing could have gone into CFM.


I am willing to be very forgiving if they patch ALL of these major issues that should be working out of the box

Who is justifying it? I never justified that. I was just responding to his reasoning and his claim that CFM is the "backbone" of Madden.

There is not a single sports game thats released that doesnt have significant bugs now a days. The key is are they significant to you?

Take NBA 2k15: There were virtually no fouls called in that game at release. It made me furious because Fouls are a significant part of the game. Most of the "sim" community here didnt care. There were maybe 1 or 2 posts about that before it was fixed. It took 2k 3 months to fix.

Thats why you see people here claiming that NBA2k never had any major bugs.....because those bugs werent "major" to them.

Take Madden 16: I dont play CFM past one season so the fact that rookies are being generated with increased speed ratings doesnt effect me at all. I recognize though that it is a big thing to alot of people.

Every game has bugs. Each year you have to hope that their isnt a bug that affects the way YOU play. Now knowing that there are always bugs on release....wouldnt it be smart to just a few weeks before buying the game?

I do agree that the game should be working right out of the box. All games should in my opinion. But without knowing what restraints were given to the madden developers, I personally won't condemn them for the bugs in this release.
