it feels like they upped the speed a lot. It's too fast

Glad to know Im not the only 1 who felt this, although it only seems to be with the latest roster update, when I use a older roster its back to normal. Hope they can slow it down with another roster update. Now players are like on skates, like it use to be with previos years games, where you had practically no control over your players. Id say this is something that can probably be tuned in a roster update, so hope it happens soon, like tomorrow would be nice

It's funny. Two days ago, I told one of my friends that this NBA 2K16 was probably the best sports videogame I've ever played. It seemed to be a huge improvement over the last few years' versions. Now (and I know it's a small sample size, but it doesn't look promising), after this patch, I find that it plays almost identically to the last few versions that I hated (for instance, the CPU is running the 'I'm going to put my head down and drive' offense again). Honestly, if I didn't enjoy NBA Today mode so much, I'd just delete the patch. I've loved the game since purchase, so I'm not giving up, but this patch has taken it from 'best sports game ever' to 'I have to look for a slider set'. That's kind of sad.

Thanks you guys. All you had to do was learn how to take care of the damn ball.

Why 2k just why! [emoji853]

My considerations after 14 games played post patch (28 different teams – superstar/simulation – no sliders – shooting user timing).

Shooting - I think we should specify which aspect we are talking about: numbers and/or perception. In my opinion, percentages are better than ever. I’ve seen an average of 44-45-46% from the field. Percentages alone are near the perfection, is the development of those numbers that I do not completely like. Last tuning is a good step forward (maybe it needs more balance: I have seen many reversed/unexpected outcomes but at the end of the day numbers are fantastic).

Transition defense – They were able to cut down final scores (FINALLY). The pace of the game is now pretty solid and final scores (48 minutes games) are PERFECT (obviously it is also due to tuned percentages). I’m wondering why they did not put it in patch notes. I mean the improvement of transition defense is so evident.

Bump stealing – I hate the change they made. I play mainly offline and lowered bump stealing is allowing the CPU to get away with drives that should have been stopped. The CPU now never turns the ball over. But I ultimately think that this will be the focus for NBA2k17. We need a smarter and humanized AI. The CPU is too consistent in many areas of the game. The AI should be smarter but at the same time able to make dumb mistakes (the CPU is now too consistent taking care of the ball). User and CPU should be punish when attacking the basket with reckless abandon.

On ball defense – Contacts and bumps are returned to the initial level even though crossovers and moves are a bit underpowered (especially against the AI).

Defensive awareness – Centers are still gravitating out of bounds. Defenders leave their man open again (fortunately not at the previous rate).

Game variety – It’s a small sample size, but I have seen more close games (less blowouts, if you prefer). On one hand I’m loving it because weaker teams can now compete, but on the other game variety seems reduced.


However the gameplay on superstar/hof simulation against the AI is better than ever...best offline experience ever (and after patch 4 it's not even close...)

yeah, I'm not seeing any improvements to transition defense, at least not online. It's still as terrible as it was in Patch 3, not to mention defenders still don't get back on defense quick enough after a made bucket.

I think this is an ACE issue. There was already one update per Czar to fix big touches so hopefully the next brings some more normalcy. I've def seen what you've described when the patch first dropped. Seems a good bit better now.

I don't get as many blocks or steals . Also been getting dunked on a lot at the pro am .

This game is not good right now. The gameplay alone is crazy. I have a great record and have been a good 2k player. Plz explain how do you miss shots wide open and green meter or in the middle. Its lke the games purposely making you struggle to win games or compete. This needs to be fixed. I am all up in my leagues then suddenly jumpers not going in.... I mean , wth?

i just finishing watching the thunder vs cavs game. dion waiters missed two wide open corner trees at the same spot. the cavs went on with a 10-0 run to seal the win eventually.

nothing wrong with missing shots. mix it up with other offensive schemes if the 3
ball is not working. the momentum of the game will bring u back in the game.

To go with the conversation about the auto shot contest and the amount of fouls, I have it too. But I was wondering if having the enforcer badge maybe ups your foul tendency? I play with no auto shot contest but I do also use the left trigger a lot

Did they tweak the effectiveness on picks?

Coming off a pick into a jumper is so much smoother.

Yep. You're right. After a few more games, I'm not entirely loving the changes, but it isn't nearly as bleak as I thought.

Ok... The defensive rotations are sooooooo bad. If I leave my man to double, theoretically the defense should rotate right? Not when the defense is guarding Kyrie Irving and my man was Mozgov. If I choose to leave my man, the CPU IQ is nonexistent.

Also, can we please address the momentum shifts? Or is that something that's impossible? I've said this recently in another thread but I'm not a fan of these guarantees. If I'm beating someone to sleep, they shouldn't be just coming back with ease.
I'm in the middle of a MyCareer game and stopped to write this. No way Steph and Klay combine to miss 6 layups in a quarter. Not to mention I came out of the game with 6 minutes left in the third and up 25 then I go back to start the fourth and the other team is within 3. That's insane. I don't even play online anymore after a dude hit 6 straight contested threes including a half court buzzer beater, as I missed dunk after layup after turnover to come back and win a game I dominated from the start.


Oh yeah! This isn't as much of a big deal because I've learned how to offset it but the shot-making is a little frustrating. I don't mind missing a contested layup every now and then but to go back down and see a guy with a lower rating than the player I just used make a contested three on the very next play is just insane. You guys said you were gonna cut out demigods but all that it's seems you've done is make the CPU the demigod. And no I'm not turning down my difficulty because as an actual baller, the lower levels don't provide a challenge.

All my requests are about making the game more realistic, which you guys said was the goal. If it's inconceivable, let me know. I can always lower my expectations.

Yea I had the CPU rotate off of CP3 to cover DEANDRE JORDAN standing at the 3 point line. My opponent did the expect what I would of have done. Passed it back to CP3 for the wide open 3 smh.......

And the defender was Tyshaun Prince. I would of understand if it was some lowly defense rated player. But Prince would never do that.

Whatever they did to tone down losing the ball it's hard as hell to block dunks. I'm a big man a guards keep Dunking on me at the pro am
