Adjusted the shooting model to reduce the frequency of made low percentage shots and missed high percentage shots

Exactly the opposite of what we need.... We are already at "Min/Max" behavior for shots where some players shoot 60+% over a season while other (good shooters) shoot below 30 % just because getting a green release is everything...

Re: NBA 2K23 Patch 5.0 Notes

My god. Their “High percentage/low percentage” tweak no doubt will be the final hammer into this once great game. I can already tell it’s going to make even remotely contested shots harder than they already were, and make open shots go in like 2K22 style. These are all issues this game originally FIXED from 2K22. Now it’s just 2K22 again.

1 step forward, 4 steps back.

I assume no updated jersey selections for old rosters still?

And whatever happened to the updated Kidd and Scalabrine scans promised in the last update? lol

It says updated sculpts for Harold Minor, but where in the game is he?? He’s not in eras, or in the 92 draft class or main roster.

They ruined shooting cpu can’t hit anything I had the perfect sliders for me clippers are shooting under 30% missing everything wide open

Beat the clippers 105-84 they shot 31% I shot 36%. I purposely left them wide open after the first quarter and they missed almost everything. It was only one game but I’ve never seen the CpU shoot that horrible on this game. I’ll try a couple more games but I don’t have high hopes. Sick and tired of always having to adjust sliders.

How's rewarding good shot selection vs poor shot selection a bad thing?

How's rewarding good shot selection vs poor shot selection a bad thing?

According to 2K, anything contested at all is a bad shot therefore won’t go in. And if you’ve watched the NBA, that’s clearly not how things work.

I would absolutely agree IF the game was cheese with contested shots where they go in too much. But it’s the opposite. Out of the box contested shots never went in. I had to lower defensive jumpshot strength sliders to 10 just to make it realistic. Now after this patch am I supposed to lower it to 0?

They keep fixing things that aren’t broken, therefore breaking things. Then break them more when they try to “fix them again.”

When 2K22 came out this message board was on cloud 9. Everyone saying it was the best 2K ever. Then after the first patch it was destroyed, now many call it the worst 2K (imo 2K21 next gen is by far the worst 2K. Defense non existent).

Then 2K23 comes out, and once again we’re all saying it’s not just the greatest 2K ever, but the greatest sports game ever.

It goes months with no touches to gameplay. Then all of a sudden, they pull the rug out and send us all scrambling back to sliders. Then they keep tweaking new things and then re tweaking them to send us back to slider hell. It’s insane.

The f*#^}^}ing game wasn’t broken to begin with. Why mess with it. Now it’s a complete chaotic disaster.

I’m sure I can ONCE AGAIN find a slider balance to get it right. But I’m tired of constantly redoing sliders after I get them into a sweet spot.

I CAN’T WAIT until 2K24 comes out. Not so I can buy it (I’m not masochist so I’m not gonna willingly go through all this again), but so they can finally leave 2K23 alone and maybe I can play it without having worry they’re gonna undo everything I like about it.

Re: NBA 2K23 Patch 5.0 Notes

From what i have seen i didn't see a lot of differences for shooting.

Maybe it is a little bit easy but if you miss the timing you will miss the shot.
I'm a little bit surprised that they diminished the difficulty and i was ready to play with this difficulty. Yesterday i scored a beautiful 3 pt with Jordan, and it was the first time it was really exciting! The action was not good, Horace dribbled inside the paint and Jordan was alone. I didn't have the video because i forgot to save the last 15 mins after i came back from eating. I was crazy because iloved so much this shot!! Today they changed it. I really hope i will made other 3 pt like that.

My best score in the Blazers Challenge is 2 3 pts shoot lol (HOF) in 20 games!!

So maybe it will help me.


I really think there is the inbound plays to improve.

It says updated sculpts for Harold Minor, but where in the game is he?? He’s not in eras, or in the 92 draft class or main roster.

He would need to be added officially to the 1992 NBA Draft Class. They have a lot of players currently missing from the draft classes that are available in other areas of the game. A major update would need to come to them in order to get them correct.

Caldwell Jones would need to be added to the 76-77 Sixers Classic Team and 83-84 Rockets team in the Bird/Magic ERA roster. He likely comes via the next RETRO update which should also include some other players I hope (M. Gasol, J. Calderon, L.Deng, C.Atkins (added to 2 different teams in the classic roster), M.McGee, L.Eackles, etc.)

Re: NBA 2K23 Patch 5.0 Notes

We’ve been complaining about the attributes getting randomized since the game came out but I’m glad it’s (hopefully) finally fixed. Nothing like putting tons of hours of work in making historic draft classes and having 2k mess it up. Hopefully they fixed their potential and normal attributes getting messed up.

Yeah, that's a big one. It'd be nice if guys like A.C. Green no longer come into the league trying to take dudes off the dribble from the wing all game.

I'm also curious what the tweak to the Pistons classic court would be.

Re: NBA 2K23 Patch 5.0 Notes

So I guess based on the patch notes
Mj has to play like Reggie Miller/Richard Hamilton in order hit shots?

Re: NBA 2K23 Patch 5.0 Notes

Played 3 games since patch 2 against the clippers where they shot low 30% and held them under 90 both times but the Jazz shot 47% against me and scored 112 so it could be the maybe the clippers are just washed or off to a slow startmy franchise. They are 1-6 in year 2023-2024.

Re: NBA 2K23 Patch 5.0 Notes

Do you guys know if new shoes and courts are applied across old saves or can they only be accessed in the newest 2k roster?
