Game has been turned from sim to arcade.It was a great 1 week enjoyment though.What's funny is 2k's twitter says nothing has been changed just like 2K22.

Oh no. It begins. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I agree. I can maximize sliders to where I can make it challenging enough, yet it’s still arcadey with the easy dunks and drives. But lowering speed and accel with ball sliders helps a lot. But if they nerf defense AT ALL via patches then it’s in dangerous territory of easiness. Like 2K21 bad.

And that is what I’d like to see return, at least an option within shot-timing that removes the “green = make” mechanic. They should keep it for online users, but let us offline guys have the option to remove guaranteed makes. Or hell, just give us a slider to fine-tune the boost from greening a shot, with the default value being 100 so the online users always make greens on default (I think this was the original idea behind the Shot Timing Impact slider but that got immediately ruined with the green = make mechanic, so now the slider is basically worthless).

Ah gotcha. That makes perfect sense.

I've compared 2K to The Show in this regard in the past. But man it just seems like Sony is much better at giving you optionality for stuff like this.

Not experiencing that at all. Though my only gameplay today was in the MyNBA Era mode during the 2000s, so I haven't tried Play Now or a modern era MyNBA. But in the 2000s era game, I was getting destroyed by the Spurs, first quarter ended 30-13 (their defense was good, BUT I would've scored 18-20 if my guys weren't ice cold). Using my current slider set as well, so maybe the issue stems from default settings?

Gameplay is great so far but 2K has the tendency to change it so its too early to call that. Plus I can just not put this game on that high of a pedestal knowing how expensive and grindy it is with MyCareer. It's the worst it has been in its history. It's a huge part of the game and people should not ignore that.

Nothing has changed gameplay wise

Agreed. Played all day today and didn't even realize my game updated in rest mode overnight, until I saw people talking of a patch on this forum tonight. Game was exactly the same as yesterday.

Good to know. 2K always randomly changes. Must be some coding that makes different games play different. Even in 2K22, I’d play some games where it feels 2K21 easy. Then next game felt insanely tough defense wise.

As long as they don’t make core changes and nerfing then I’m good.

I tested the patch for at least 4 hours playing with different teams,restarted the console several times to see if it was a fluke and tried with internet on and off all sorts of things .It played very frantic arcadey with crazy amount of 3pt shoots,Off and Def awareness dumbed down etc. They were clearly testing waters.

As after todays roster/tuning update things were reverted back to what it was.Game speed is upped though i have no doubts about it. I'm not gonna take risks anymore as i took a backup of my console if **** goes sideways.
