    Every UPDATE REQUIRED message should come with bullet points of what it actually does

    For how little effort it would actually take, just to have a couple of bullet points saying "added Moments cards to MyTeam" or "tweaked shooting slightly" or "added XX brand shoes" would go a long way to making these updates a lot less mysterious.

    2Ks absolute refusal to do all by the bare minimum of communication is a big reason why people create threads like "OMG THEY CHANGED SHOOTING I CAN'T HIT NOW" when all they did was add a jersey or something...

    I wish they'd lift their communication game across the board, but just backing up every UPDATE REQUIRED message with even a little explanation would go a long way.

      Could not agree more! And not just "made ACE adjustments"! We need to know what they are doing to the gameplay imho.

        Prior to today's Tuning Update I was enjoying the game LOTS.

        However, today 19.11.2017 around 15:18 (CET) - there was another Update Required notification.

        Went out of MyLeague to update the game. Sadly gameplay went downhill AGAIN. What the hell are you guys at 2K/VC doing?! Care to explain what you TUNE exactly?

        I swear, if I had box copy of the game, I would have never updated the game :/. Yes, it had problems, but it was best NBA game you lot ever produced. Now it's 2k16 with patches... Stop listening to those Online scrubs/MyTeam/Pro-Am guys all the time. You tune Online part of game, but it breaks stuff in Offline modes.

          I agree with you , i have mentioned this before to many complaints about OP arctype or shooting to easy , i wish they can reset everything back to origenal , just fix bugs and glitches . Stop playing around with shooting , it really mess up the game for ppl playing offline

            I agree. They need something to tell us what's being updated when the big basketball in the middle pops up. Admittedly, I'm guilty of always blaming the updates when I have a bad game or the game plays differently than from when I last played it in PNO.

            I hate playing not knowing if I have to practice more, or do I have to "adjust" to new gameplay mechanics and/or percentages.

                And once again, they messed up EVERYTHING with an update

                I was having decent games vs HOF cpu for a while, I adjusted sliders a bit for decent gameplay and tight realistic games

                Today i get an "update required" and after that the cpu has become superhuman again...
                They can dribble in the middle of all your guys without never loosing the ball, they get unreal steals all the time (just as you press pass, the cpu center does 5 meters in 0,5 sec to steal the ball...), not a single screen is working for you, your jumpshots don't go in anymore, your cpu teammates in defense stop marking their man for no reason...

                SERIOUSLY what is the point of screwing up the game like this on a regular basis ?? So if i understand, i have to once again struggle again with the settings and difficulty to achieve decent gameplay until the next update that will mess everything up in 2 weeks or so ??

                Indeed, they should really communicate about the nature of the updates... when are they coming, and what they are supposed to "fix"...

                  How funny would it be if the "update required" wasn't even a gameplay tuning update but like a face scan or shoe update.

                  That would be hilarious based on the "game is once again broken" comments.

                    I really appreciate those essential shoe updates instead of gameplay ones.

                    They really know what is the important thing here.

                      lol i'm not saying I approve of these shoe updates and stuff over gameplay updates but I would find it hilarious if the people saying "2k updated their game again and now it plays like poop" find out that the update didn't even tweak any gameplay related elements.

                      Then it would be complaining just to complain and WANTING there to be something wrong with the game every time 2k tries something.

                        Play Now Online: 3 point shots have definitely been more difficult to hit in the last two days. I've missed most of open shots with Mirotic and McDermott whereas until 17th November I could hit with Rondo and Wade consistently as long as they were open.
                        It would be interesting to know if these shooting tweaks will be a regular thing throughout the year to make it new and challenging all the time or is this permanent.
                        Oh and they should definitely tone down Town's and Dieng's offensive rebounding, it's ridiculous.

                          Played my first game after this quick updated and just got blown out by the Knicks 129-96 in my career after having thrillers with Brooklyn and Portland yesterday. The way the hof a.i. played was disturbing on both side,it's has gotten worst. My teammates played like first graders and the cpu literally abused the and1 cheese. Smh.

                            The tuning updates in the last day have made my offline game worse. Rocket passes are making a bit of a comeback for the CPU, and I'm feeling more quicksand in animations as my players try to contest shots or catch passes.

                            I'm also seeing more of a return of CPU defying physics to win loose balls and get rebounds, with things like small PG's grabbing offensive boards while surrounded by three defenders, including two guys over 6'10".

                            I had a lot of this stuff minimized with my sliders and roster edits before the blizzard of little tuner updates I've seen come out in the last 24 hours. I was getting decent 2K games. But not now.

                            The tuners also really nerfed my user shooting, especially 3 pt. I can adjust that with sliders, so I'm not complaining about that, but why these additional changes offline were needed I have no idea, when it's the online guys who are causing all the shot tuning changes.

                            I'll try some other slider adjustments - again - but this is getting ridiculous. I quit the game for a while before patch 5 and came back after but lord it's a struggle.
