It's amazing how every patch/update is the best for some and the worst for others. I feel exactly the opposite of how you do about the game now.

I agree with you, I like the game much more with patch 4. It took a minute to get my sliders readjusted to the changes, but I think the game is better now than it has been.

Sick of seeing offensive players get speed boosts to pick up a loose ball after I knock it loose. What the hell man?

This is one of the fundamental issues that I hope they can solve for NBA 2K17, because it's my opinion that they can't fix it year for whatever reason.

Live ball by itself may have been nerfed but it's a lot easier to get steals in that situation actually using the steal button...

Also, were you able to make the CPU pick up the ball pre patch? If so I don't remember it, I did it twice last game with on ball D

My idea for next year is to tie cut offs from the R Stick into the left trigger...

Did they remove the patch or something? The first day it was cool but now it seems like the game is playing like it did before patch.

I have put in at least 10 plus 12 minute games under the patch 4 vs. the CPU on SS/Sim

• On Ball defense is overpowered against the CPU. The CPU is just too sticky on the perimeter good defenders , bad defenders, average defenders seems to not matter as much as far as the level of defense the CPU can play. I liked the CPU on ball defense prior to patch 4 you could exploit a mis match but after patch 4 not so much.
• Has anyone been able to get consistent contact on the CPU? why are they so damn slippery?

As in Patch 3? it is feeling much different to me.

Patch 4 is the layup strip patch and contact layup reduced with overpowered OBD it is very clear those things were touched. They also let you you steal more on perimeter

The first day of patch 4 seemed like I had more control over movements. And also didn't get as many of those bump into the CPU and he will lose the ball moments. Now it seems opposite, I get many steals by just bumping CPU and also don't seem to have as much movement control

As a whole I still like the game, it's just certain things need to chill.

-No one gets stripped on drives this easily.

-In modes like Pro-Am, where you have max players, no way should guys with 90+ 3 point shots be missing so many (open) 3's.
Like, wide open shots...

-Zig zag is making a little bit of a comeback now that live-ball has been toned down to the point of being almost nonexistent on these dribbles.
While I agree that you shouldn't be able to sprint into someone's arm and get a steal, you also shouldn't be able to pull some And 1/Globetrotters ish and dribble through defenders like they don't exist.

-Too many times I feel like a ghost when going for an interception on bad passes. I literally see the ball get passed through my chest or arms sometimes.

-Reward good post players/punish bad ones.
Why put all this work into refining the post game, only to have hooks and fades miss so much? Yet people can just spam the power back down for 4 seconds then hit the shoot button and force the ball in with absolutely no move performed...or at least let me send that into the 10th row and not give me a foul animation.

That said, it feels like a switch was flipped the past two days and I can dominate in the post again. Not allowed to do hooks though, just up and unders...
I had 25 15 and 5....at half, in a Pro-Am game then everyone quit. Made me have hope in 2K again.

Been saying this.

I've been the guy trying to teach dribble moves/blow by techniques since launch when the AI was warping into place....but the CPU feels stickier than ever to me.....even bad defenders. I'm not having issues shooting any more and can use ball movement to score effectively, but it is definitively noticeable...

When I see guys say it's too easy to blow by on SS/SIM I'm like:

Spoiler

Lol.

Won't complain too much because I feel this is the best you've been able to play on ball D vs the CPU vs launch as well....contact hasn't been much of an issue for me...

I can still bump the CPU and they lose the ball. Thought that was fixed?

i'm on superstar simulation sliders. that would be sufficient to get the charging calls.

I wouldnt think it owuld be easier on super star sim to draw charges than it is on all star sim sliders, plus I have the charge slider up to 100, but maybe it is, but I struggle to win on AS, so SS I know would be too much for me to handle now days.
I did the last game actually draw a charge, 1st since patch 4 released. When the game 1st came out I would get a few, but this last patch is when it seemed I started not getting any or seeing very many. Not that there were anywhere near enough before, when you compare to real life, but patch 4 seemed to actually nerf it when it didnt need nerfed, there actually needs to be more for both user and AI.

Yeap....

I played a Cavs user last night for the first time in weeks, and the guy was just gliding right past my defenders as he ran through the paint with a full head of steam.

no prob. charging calls definitely toned down. i think it takes to understand the opponent tendency and using the proper controls. if u have the tendency to play onball, u have the tendency to keep bumping the left trigger and getting ready the right stick to contest or the jump button for block shot. onball is so fun that i dont think abt pressing the circle for charge calls. if only 2k could fix the cpu ai defense otherwise i cant enjoy onball to the fullest.
