    This patch has ruined My Team

    I don't understand why the hell 2k even released this patch. The game was fine before, now ppl can just run around the 3pt and drain shots.



    They took it out in the last patch and brought it right back. Like wtf???? People just turbo around the court and shoot 3's all game now. Its ridiculous. Completely ruined this mode now. Its bad enough that you have players with 95 plus 3pt ratings.



    Now on ball defense doesn't even matter. You can get perfect releases with an inch of space. Way to screw up a good game 2k

      3 point shoot is really easy. I mean i use the same starters for a very long time and I know their release but when I get to be wide open I get almost 80% for 3s. I mean I know it is easier but this is too high %. When wide open I feel it is same difficulty as FT.Hell sometimes when Klay thompson gets the ball on fast break I stop and shoot 3.

        I think that the patch made online play a lot better. Getting open shots is more rewarded, so basketball IQ matters more. Online-D is both easier and more rewarded, since the probability of contested shots going in has been decreased. I've yet to see someone shoot above 55% against me over a whole game, even with crazy lineups. I think open shots could be toned down just a little bit, but it's still a lot better than pre-patch.

        Which is exactly what happens in real NBA games, so this is good.

            Indeed it does, which is why I like the patch.

              You could play perfect on ball defense and still get shots hit in your face. Trust me, I love playing on ball. I take pride in it. But this patch disrespects good defense all together.

              It's impossible to play on ball defense when guys are turboing around the court and just stop on a dime to get the shot up. I played a guy who kept running to the corner with Melo and hit almost every single 3, no matter if he was defended well or not.

              It's stupid

                Don't get me wrong, this patch is great for people who move the ball, and keep the defense on its heels. Its great to see shots dropping that come as a result of great ball movement.


                However, in this broken game, a left right left right pull up is also considered an open shot. And no matter what anyone says, you can't recover 100% on those shots. You can close out, but it still gives people enough space to get constant perfect releases.

                A solution would be to penalize shots that come from moving left right left right by 50% or so. It would even things out, however it would be difficult to code in. A line of code could be written to penalize anyone who goes left, then right, then left again. A decreased shot accuracy penalty would be great.

                After one left right move its easy to recover, but eventually you end up giving a bit of ground.

                I didn't mind things pre patch, I got used to not taking open shots and driving instead. Now kids are shot jacking 30-40 3's a game and keeping up / winning games, kinda sad.

                And if this is gonna keep happening, then at least make fouls in the paint happen more often. Especially during those insane contact animations where you just throw the ball up, and drop dead on the ground because you just got body slammed but no call is made.

                  It really should but eventually how can you play manually defense to someone who just turbos to the 3corner and pulls for a 3, or does some left right left and he shoots? There is no way you can stay in front of a player if he does left-right left....

                    Haven't noticed anything in the patch really that seems different but what really makes me laugh is 2K said this would be gone and promised/told us everything like zig zag and cheese would be gone yet here it is back and better than ever.

                      In fairness, this has been a problem with the game no matter what Patch they make. It's because the majority of people who play this game are clowns.

                      MyTeam is even worse than other modes when it comes to this because cheesers can pick and choose the "best-of-the-best" players as far as cheesing goes...plus you get STACKED lineups...and users get to play with players whose releases they can perfect, not to mention they can choose players with the easiest releases.


                      I'm seeing far fewer shots go in in the last couple of days than I did at first. Maybe this is me adjusting to the defensive changes...but maybe not.

                      Right after the Patch I was playing games with both teams shooting like 65 to 70%....even with good defense.

                      Now...it's more like 55 to 60%. Well above what I've experienced in Online Ranked Games.

                        When 2k says screw you and you miss 3 inch putback and when 2k bails the other guy out letting him shoot 3s at will, is when you know some serious patching needs to be done.

                          For the life of me I can't work out why they haven't patched the fouling to allow for more fouls in the paint. I mean I've seen guys literally being thrown to the ground, losing the ball in the process and getting a turnover put on them. It's insane.

                          I also agree about the zig zag/left right left right cheese.

                          But the one thing that annoys me is the thing everyone else seems to enjoy. Nobody has a weakness. I mean their teams. You never get match up issues because you have an elite player at every position including coming off the bench. If I was playing H2H online against Dallas for example, I would be looking to stretch the floor to try and bring Chandler out the paint a little and to help expose their lack of perimeter defense. Then I might try to build as big a cushion as I could against their starters knowing how weak the bench is, knowing it's unlikely they make a comeback or help the starters out much.

                          In MT Chandler is Bill Russell. Dirk is LeBron. Parsons is Durant. Ellis is MJ and Rondo is Diamond Lillard. While the bench is the 2001 All-NBA first team.

                          I honestly believe they need to restrict the bench more, a lot more. At least until the final 2 seeds.

                            I'd love for it to go from 3 Gold in the sixth seed to 4 in the 5th, 5 in the 4th and then unlimited the rest of the way. Seems like a natural progression, but then 2K would be losing money in their eyes so the whole point is moot.

                              Capping the teams would not affect packs. You would still go for that Ruby Jordan ot T-Mac etc. However Goran Dragic/Silver Klay would be more needed as the best silver etc. There could also be a Ratings Cap. I don't know how they would do it. It is silly. First time I went from seed 6 with 3 gold to play in seed 5, I thought that I would face a team with 5-6 golds etc, and I saw teams with Hakeem and Jordan on the bench and I said " OMG, what is the point"
