Re: NBA 2K16 Patch #3 Available Now For Xbox One

SS/SIM has felt fantastic to me post patch tbh....

I second this. Had 12 min/HOF sliders before the patch and went to start from scratch but loved the way post patch played so much I'm just going to bump it down to 10 min quarters and turn a blind eye to the few stats that aren't perfect and enjoy SS/SIM. Slider-itis was killing me.

Back and forth runs, good offense, consecutive stops. I feel like this patch brought it back to how this game felt out of the box while fixing all the little things that plagued it during release.

The peaks and valleys are definitely my favorite part.

Went down 22-6 against the Hawks with the Hornets, tied it up at by half time.....Hawks went up by 6 after the half, and I ended up winning by 12 after a big run.....complete roller coaster of a game....didn't feel this way originally to me, which is why I made the thread about game diversity early after release....

I agree on the User CPU A.I., and also I think that the CPU opponent makes more mistakes now, not as many as they should, but it is better. My only real issue is that I am completely hapless guarding on the ball. The CPU just waltzes by me to the rim at will. I am using the the Lakers so that is a major handicap.

The Lakers are my favorite team in real life but I can't play with them this year man. 2K has it too accurate because their defense is an abomination in this game and there isn't much you can do about it except go thru the motions, like last night.. SMFH

I'd also know about the "Force 6th man option" how does it work and where is it? Can anybody provide a screenshot? Thanks a lot

Re: NBA 2K16 Patch #3 Available Now For Xbox One

I started up the game and didn't get a "NBA 2k16 needs to be updated message. Game started and there was some window on the main menu that had press B at the bottom. No idea what was supposed to be there but it said the code I entered wasn't valid.

At the bottom it had a message to get the upgrade I needed to go to the main menu so I went to Home Screen quit the game and started again. When I got to the main menu this window was up again with press B at the bottom, again I got the message the code was invalid and I didn't see the need to go to main menu to get upgrade but it also never told me that NBA 2k16 needs an update do you want to update message...so how do I know if I got it?

What does 2K have against defense? My God you guys should be embarrassed for releasing this game like this.

Game plays better in MyCareer and Play Now, but so far I'm HATING this patch on MyTeam.

Playing RTTP in the second seed and guys just hesitation dribble right through me. Passes and dribbling in traffic with no consequence. Every game is a shootout. Point guard zig zag turbo insanity

Blocks werent great before but now EVERYBODY can score inside. One cut and buckets.

Play Now feels much more balanced. Gonna stick with that for now I guess

I completely agree the lack of player interaction while shooting free throws takes a bit of realism away from the game. 2K PLEASE FIX ASAP.

Re: NBA 2K16 Patch #3 Available Now For Xbox One

HOF sim seems too easy now. won my last 3 games by 20+ points before patch i won the majority of games but most were tight. CPU turning over the ball like crazy, and my 3 going in at a higher clip.

Small sample size, but anyone else seeing this?

I see players interfering high fives. Can you be more specific.

Re: NBA 2K16 Patch #3 Available Now For Xbox One

2k gives us so much control... They include defensive and offensive tutorial vids in the game... They give us PoE.. Sampham and daCzar post helpful defensive tips on man to man defensive ...

So 2K.. Why give us all this control on defense... If your going to decide the outcome for us when the cpu AI decide to make a scoring move to the basket ???? And you use a Jedi mind trick to lag the user on defense then release us once the cpu has had its way with us .. and hope our minds and eyes believe it's all a legit fluent behavior ..???

i agree with this here 100% - so frustrating.

Even though transition defense has gotten better. Its still a problem and def rotation still a problem not as bad as before the patch but still a problem. This is all in mycareer. CPU still throw tom brady passes. Loose ball still goes back to offense with their superhuman reflex. Crowds are too damn quiet, they look bored out there. I have yet to experience a kickball called. Very rarely see a charge call.

AI teammates throwing the ball in the backcourt getting backcourt violation. AI teammates looses the ball easy because there is no kickball violation being called. Does kickball or charge do even exist in this game. Even though patch 3 has somewhat improve this game. There are still lingering issues. And for some reason why does it take my center forever to sprint, even at full stamina he jogs what the hell man. I am getting outrun by snail centers like Roy Hibbert. Why are they outrunning me or even catching up to me. Its like I take huge step back before I sprint. Who the hell runs like that on a basketball court.

I not sure if this is a placebo effect but that stupid freq and vibrating dance has been tone down. I dont see it as much as before because that stupid dance has cost me alot on trying to get back on defense. All in Mycareer

There are charge calls in MyCareer. I found that playing on casual you will NEVER get a charge call (due to it being at 0) so I put it on SIM and have successfully got 2 charge calls so far my 2nd season PRE-patch. I am playing POST patch right now and can def say the game feels much smoother and the lag on the button presses are no more (this was a HUGE problem for me). Hopefully there will be more charge calls as I can't say how many times I'm in position against aggressive drivers like westbrook, rose, wall, and bledsoe only to get the bump animation and around me they go.
