Anyone having issues with their controllers? Player not responsive.

[strawberryshortcake]

Anyone having issues with their controllers? Player not responsive (analog stick). Completely offline player myself.

Originally when the game was released, the controls were fairly responsive (analog stick). Playing on ball defense was very satisfying. But for whatever, it seems like I am completely losing control of the players nowadays (left analog stick). I can sort stay in front of the ball handler, but now I am sliding more and more all over the place to a point where I frequently can't even stay with the cpu ball handler anymore or do much of what I want. I am still winning games. But I'm no longer "connecting" to my player anymore. There seems to be more warping. Stuck to animations, etc. Something just seems really, really off.

I had a new in box PS4 controller and thought maybe my other controller was wearing down. Unwrapped the new PS4 dualshock controller and nothing has changed. Responsiveness is no longer the word I would use. I have even tried "resetting" (pressing that reset button on the PS4 controller), but nothing is working to give me that original feeling when I first bought the game.

Something definitely feels completely different, not just on the defensive side of things, but also offensive side as well. Losing control, non-responsive player movement. I don't know what it is. But the game no longer feels the same.

Anyone having the same issues?

Don't feel as if anything has changed since release regarding controls

I haven't played in a while, and the game feels different my past three games then what it did when I first bought it. Let me guess.

You don't feel as "sticky" on the defensive side of the ball anymore?

Sounds like what I experience online (input lag is cut down this year but it definitely spikes up here and there, causing me to slide, run away from where I want to go, sometimes not even registering a button push, etc)... never heard of that stuff happening offline though.

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling your game? If that doesn't fix it and you're still losing control of players and not getting a response when trying to do something try contacting 2K about it.

I just experienced the same thing today. My guy crept to a crawl as i tried to explode and literally, with opposite input walked out of bounds.

Honestly the game has felt different since i made minimal slider adjustments to blocks, boards and steals

I went to my brothers yesterday and he has a 5'7 point guard with maxed athletic that was just being sprinted past by a 6'7 SG in the park, and he had everything pressed down as far as he could.

But the buttons refusing to register is an on-going issue, especially when you're trying to block or rebound.

Yep, pretty much. Not only less sticky, but just the player not perfectly responding to my control input. When the game first released, I was able to play lock down on ball defense on the CPU. Now, I'm completely losing my on ball defense ability. I can still sort of do it, but, the CPU is able to beat me to a greater extent.

But more importantly, and what describes my current experience is the characters feels more twitchy, sliding, running away from where I want to go. Sometimes, pushing the analog stick directly to the left (broadcast view) makes my character move diagonally somewhat instead of a horizontal straight line. It also seems like it's easier to blow by the CPU without doing any major dribble move. It's getting to the point where I'm actually considering retiring the game. I don't feel the desire to play the game anymore. Something is definitely "off."

Uninstalling and reinstalling is definitely my next approach.... "causing me to slide, run away from where I want to go." That statement kind of describes the issue that I'm having. I'm hoping maybe GameStop or Best Buys has 2k16 setup somewhere so I can try it on their system to see if I'm getting the same experience.

Every once in a while my controller input gets "stuck" either moving in one direction or with "defensive hands up" engaged (right stick).

This is something reported by many PC users. This usually passes after a minute at worse or requires restart of the game.

I made a similar comment in the other thread. My opponents are getting pass me way easier without any real moves. Plus, it's harder to stay in in front of my man. Before, I felt that I could keep my man out of the paint pretty well. Now, it seem like anybody can get into the paint and score at will especially considering that they increase the inside scoring percentage.


It's starting to look like they nerfed the defense.

Is this even possible? I thought they could only adjust shooting percentages without a patch, and they only did it recently. Can they actually tune the sliders online dynamically?

It's also possible that people have "got better" and know which angles to go in to avoid the bump animations.

Don't know if there were any changes, but I couldn't stay in front of this Laker user to save my life last night...then I discovered my DA was at 100....did they change that to the default?

I moved my DA to 15, but I was sliding around too much. I ended up bumping it back to 50, not that it mattered.

Well, something f*cking changed. I'm 3-7 since the d*mn update while on a six game losing streak, and I can't play defense to save my life! I can't keep my man on the perimeter, and they're abusing the paint. The defense is sluggish to move, and I feel like I'm always fighting for control of player.

And it's definitely NOT the case of people getting better at the game. I have played some players where I KNOW that I should have whupped their ***, but I couldn't stop them from driving and scoring in the paint. I played a OKC user where all he did was drive with Westbrook, and I couldn't stop him. There's playing defense, then there's throwing noodles at the wall. Defensively, I was throwing noodles at the wall. It was so bad, I was shocked as hell when he took a shot with Durant.

I'm going to record my next and post for analysis.

Well I don't know if it's a case of an adjustment to layup accuracy or something but playing offline on all-star against the Blazers, and it was SO MANY CONTACT LAYUPS. By Lillard. By Henderson. By McCollough.

To be fair Barbosa was kind of getting into the action too. Not a big fan of how small CPU guards of varying actual abilities seem to play so well and finish so consistently with pressure. And seemingly make every open shot.

Welp...I'm done playing this bullsh*t. Went from dethroning NBA 2K11 to being NBA 2K15 2.0. Someone send me a message when they decide to bring defense back again.

Re: Anyone having issues with their controllers? Player not responsive.

what about the PNR controls? are you guys seeing guys not rolling to the rim when you tell them to? Or when when you do PNR the big goes to the side you tell him then all of sudden move to the other side.
