Re: NBA 2K14 Patch #3 Submitted - Gameplay & Various MyPlayer Issues to be Addressed

Which promised fixes?

Does it include player roles/satisfication fixes as well as trade logic fixes?

I'm going to just hope he wasn't intentionally being vague. I can't help but become one of those guys screaming from the sideline for a simple explanation.

At this point its almost comical...certainly well beyond insulting. Just outright state what the patch addresses. Provide patch notes and maintain a shred of integrity. No needs to fumble through this like every other failure in the gaming industry just because some clueless putz in a 50 dollar suit behind some crappy particle board desk fears being transparent.

Stop treating your customers like they're clueless and beneath explanation. The whole idea that avoiding your customers and refusing to provide clear and concise answers and explanations as some kind PR move is beyond absurdity.

Anyone who's ever run a business knows the best way to deal with a failed product or failure of service is to be direct, empathetic and address the issue honestly, head on.

I know Leftos has mentioned he was working on player role fixes in other threads, so hopefully that is addressed. By adjusting the role/morale issues a vast majority of the unrealistic trades will be avoided as they result from the players being unhappy.

I don't care as much about the unrealistic trades as I do the amount of trades.

I just hope the amount of trades are toned down. I know how hard trade logic probably is to code, but trade frequency should be a simpler fix.

Wonder if there will be gameplay improvements? Of course we won't find out until we play the game ourselves as there will be no patch notes!

Maybe he is not allowed to go into depth on that yet ever thought of that before ripping him?

I doubt they considered this a failed product they earned a lot of money off the sales & the whole VC stuff

Check out the current gen forum for news on that:

lol Would be hilarious if he'd been checking this forum for weeks on end expecting last gen content only to see thread after thread about next gen.

Playing NBA Today game with the Golden State Warriors against the Pelicans, up good against them till the 4th qtr, things started happening. Up a few but need a defensive stop and a rebound then this happens

Spoiler

Stephen Curry got the block, ball is loose and the Pelicans player goes through Thompson and beats Lee to get the rebound. I'm done with this till the patch...like I said before if it doesn't fix enough trading it in

I don't know why everyone is bugging about patch notes.. it will likely be accompanied by a summary of at least the main points, 2k is around to fill in the blanks, and as an entire user base we're more likely to find certain bugs if they still exist unknowingly (to 2k) than 2k. This patch was intended to satisfy the masses who still cannot play a stable game over a month after release. The wait time isn't excusable in this spot and 2k should be pressuring & working with xbox & sony to pump this out. Madden had no problems with on time roster updates from day 1. 2k should have been prepared and now that the patch is submitted they shouldn't be resting on their laurels. They should get this out and work on patch 4, then develop 2k15. This game needs the extra attention.

Does anyone remember how long the previous wait was? I know it wasn't 2 weeks.

Oh man, I stuffed up my question again.

Let me start again.

Im an XB1 user from Melbourne, and a few of us have noted we dont get any notofications we've downloaded any patch since getting this new console. Do you get notifications?

(And Ive turned off 'auto update' in the xbox panel settings)

Lol no worries, I think I understand now. Are you saying you aren't getting notifications for the patches for 2k so far, or every single patch you have downloaded for any game on the Xbox One?

I don't recall having this issue when I got patch 1 and 2 for 2k, but I'll test it when I get a chance later.

Apparently the Battlefield one is out but I havent got a notification.

It's hard to tell with 2K because MS doesnt communicate with us about patches through the console

It's not that easy to provide patch notes.

Patches are typically hundreds of individual source code check-ins and providing all of them would be more than overkill... for one thing, someone would have to figure out which changes were related to what big-c Changes.. probably discuss with the engineer responsible for the change and find out what the deal with it was (a lot of times the descriptions engineers provide on their own are not enough for, or maybe even not understandable by a general audience).

It would probably take days to create patch notes for the patch, when you should really be worrying about it coming out ASAP and further issues being addressed, rather than anally documenting this bunch of fixes.

Besides, in an atmosphere like this, it would just be used for people to say 'smh where's [x]??' or 'it didn't work' or new patch requests with pet issues.

That's weird have you tried calling MS?

I don't have to think about it. I've patiently waited for answers. I'm a paying customer who isn't satisfied with my product. As a business owner and one who deals largely with the public I can't imagine avoiding my good paying customers with the excuse of "I'm not allowed to talk about it". Whether they consider it a failure or not should matter little to anyone who's unhappy with the product they were sold.

I go above and beyond to give my customers an honest response when things don't go according to their plan. I don't get why the video game industry gets a free pass to push out inferior products while expecting us to answer to them. It doesn't work that way anywhere else.

I certainly don't feel as though I ripped anyone. Expecting an honest and frank level of customer service is far from unreasonable.

This highlights the issue of when one company has a monopoly over the market.
