NBA 2K17 Patch 1.08 Available Now, Patch Notes Included (PS4, Xbox One)

[BegBy]

I haven't played in a couple of months. Haven't enjoyed it. This patch pretty much cements my belief that 2K has a very clear focus and it has nothing to do with fixing gameplay or replicating realism. I understand that their focus should be on maintaining online modes as it makes them money, but at the cost of doing very little for those who wish to play simulation basketball is truly disappointing.

I can safely guarantee that 2K18 will be the first NBA 2K title that I haven't pre-ordered or bought on first day. There is no chance this company is getting me again.

The Show can't come quick enough.

LIKE WTF? don't even get me started on how defensive stopper nowadays sucks and choses when it wants to active...m

So many times I go for the pass interception at the perfect time and get stuck in some grab ball animation then my opponent gets an easy bucket. Pick pocket is a joke, I don't spam square/stick but one swipe and it's an automatic foul or when I manage to get a loose ball it immediately teleports back into their hands. You'd think having the LDD grand badge activated would make things a little easier, nope, still getting my ankles broke when I'm not moving. My LDD would be my favorite char if I could play like I should.

2K can't even get the arena stadium correct for the all-star game. The all-star court is still in Toronto (Raptors) and still the 2016 all-star dorna exist. 2K FIX YOUR GAME WE GAVE YOU OUR MONEY, COME ON NOW!!

This link is the proof of a Paint Protector shooting 8 3's during a Pro Am Tournament game which was supposedly on Superstar Sim difficulty: https://youtu.be/DygQ-m4NzNw Please please fix this! It makes the game completely unrealistic.

Well uh, if he makes the first open three, then start playing him closer because he more than likely invested attributes into his three ball, making it a 60, which is, in this 2k, serviceable.

Don't complain, just play closer. With a 60 three pointer, all you have to do is breathe in their general area, and it'll more than likely be a miss.

Stop thinking everyone is supposed to be a one-trick pony in this game. "Oh, if I take away the ONE THING they're supposed to do well, then they should be nothing more than a body on the court! WTF 2k!" Some players have skill outside of their archetype, it's just that simple.

If you think rebounding specialists should be able to shoot 80% on 3s, you're part of the problem that has turned this game into an arcade jokefest.

Sagging off bad 3 point shooters should be a viable tactic, but the game over rewards being open to a ridiculous degree. I had Brian fking Grant who has a 25 rating for open 3s hit 3 three pointers (one fading away) on me last night because I told my PF to gap him.

This year's programming is broken in so many area's it's not even funny at this point, and zero attention to gameplay in this patch just reinforces that 2K don't care.

It's crazy, i've been a life-long 2k fan and i've been known by my friends to at times make excuses for 2k, to tell my friends that it'll get better, that the developers are listening and crafting a better game every year...but after that, i had nothing to say.

All summer pre-release, we heard "archetypes are going to matter/make a difference" etc. etc. but it's obvious unless this game is bumped to harder difficulties archetypes play beyond their intended skills...smh.

I'm just disappointed because Pro-Am is widely claimed to be the antithesis to the arcade style gameplay of the park -- it's supposed to be SIM. But obviously that's not the case...idk at this point i'm just disappointed this hasn't been addressed or even looked at yet.

And it's not like 2k doesn't know this part of their game exists, they do! I'm sure they're aware of all these out-of-position players shooting like Steph but...they want to keep their game welcoming for everybody...i just don't understand then, the need to create archetypes this year. IF EVERY ARCHETYPE CAN SHOOT, WHY NOT JUST LEAVE THE CREATED MY-PLAYERS AS IT WAS LAST YEAR WHEN EVERYONE HAD BASICALLY A 99 IN EVERY RATING CATEGORY....SMH.
