NBA 2K23 Patch 5 Addresses Shooting, Court Floor Visual Issues and More - Patch Notes

[ggsimmonds]

I played two games in my Kobe era franchise post patch and they played out pretty well. One was a loss to the Suns and the other was a W over the Raptors.

I need to adjust the AI tendency slider but it played good enough to bring me back into the fold (I've been on a 2k hiatus since late December due to that patch breaking gameplay)

Have you tried cycling through the hair options in the accessories bit of edit player? SGA also doesn't have a headband by default but if you go in and select one of the other hair options you can get one.

He could be on old gen sirdez. On old gen, headband choice isn't an option(unless you have it on PC with a specific Mod that enables it)

There’s definitely a bug with the hook shots (unless this was intentionally as part of their “fix” early on). I even put the close and inside shot slider on 99 and was taking hook shots with 1971 Kareem in freestyle practice mode, and I was STILL missing some hook shots!

Conversely, if I take a 3 with Steph Curry with the 3pt sliders on 99, I’ll never miss unless it’s red and I intentionally try to brick the shot (and even some of those go in).

Mike Wang you really have to fix the dribbling. I'm seeing players dribbles getting stuck in mid air way too often, where the ball is not even hitting the floor before the next dribble starts. This has been an issue for a few years now but it seems to be worse this year. If I'm not mistaking, I believe this issue started when you changes the dribbling in 2K21 ( I could be wrong). Nevertheless, this is a huge eyesore & immersion killer. I don't know if a title update can fix this but it needs to be addressed. It's ruining the experience for me because it's happens too often.

I cook w kyrie when I get team take over. Just release well. Post fade is still money. Your shots v cpu should be “open,” but there’s no fix for cpu v cpu really.

to defend Mike Wang, i had the same problem in NBA 2k9. So it has ever been in the game.
I concluded that i had to imagine the ball hit the floor. I think it is the only solution because you can see a traveling.

For my part, i think the game is really really good but please 2k:
Cliff Robinson a SF it is just not possible!!
90's Scott Williams scults has been wrong since 2k12.
96 James Edwards have never been changed since 2k11.
Air Jordan 11 Bred Outsole (perfect in nba 2k11) and the logo on the left shoe could have also been respected
Still don't understand the sideline inbound when the PF make a sreen
Shandon Anderson wears shaqnosis?
Pippen 97 98 with 96 Uptempos?
Rodman Longley 97 98 with Ndestrukt?
Kukoc 97 98 has never worn the Air Jordan 13
Would really like to know why is Jordan injured (Hurt) in "the shrug" challenge. In NBA 2k11 he was not wounded for this challenge and it was good. I really have never heard that he was wounded after the Cavs series or the Knicks series.

I add:
It was not necessary to include Jason Caffey because he is a created player with a generic face.
Same thing for Scott Burrell, Randy Brown and many other players.
Really really really disappointed about this kind of stuff. We have been waiting for so long to get this? Are serious 2k?
