To those complaining: If you can't dribble without the speed boosting you're just not a good dribbler. Speed boosting required no skill at all. People complement me on my dribbling all the time and I avoid speed boosting as much as I can. You guys might want to try playing actual basketball instead of the Kobe sizeup back and forth cheese. Yes, even in park playing real basketball wins games.

I've seen people say this who absolutely sucked at it or couldn't defend it at all so they bash it in some kind of way (not saying that you cant). It wasn't hard to speed boost but there were definitely levels to it. If it was so easy everybody would be on the stage player level of speed boosting and that's far from the case. It was a lil more to speed boosting than just spamming the kobe escape.


On another note patch 6 just really takes us back to patch 1 when folks were using size ups like Jamaal Crawford, Steph Curry etc to create space. I'm sure a lot of folks will be just fine with the changes after they make the proper adjustments.

Movement looks so slow.

Thats what actual basketball speed looks like, not 0-100% in an instant all the time

Lol, all this mess. So glad I only play offline.

Though it SUCKS that they nerf aspects of the game across the board which has a direct impact on sim guys who don't use these moves as exploits. They did it with the passfake drive and the spin move to the point they're totally useless now.

Thanks cheesers. Thanks for forcing 2k to patch out stuff that actually comes in handy when used in the correct manner.

This seems to be the current trend with 2K now. Offline gamers don't matter in the least bit.

Their game play "fixes" have done nothing all year but make the game pretty much awful for offline players.

I've bought every 2k since the original for dreamcast. They sucker offline players in every year with great game play out of the gate, then a month or so later they make the game how they really want, for the online crowd. This game is an absolute mess from where it was at release.

I'm gonna take all the hype and announcements for 2k17 with a grain of salt, we're going to just repeat this same process next year.

I haven't played the new patch yet, but will do in about an hour or so; I'm 99.9999999999% certain I'll love it.

People complained about patch 4 shooting last year (and rightfully so), but this was a whole another level. Every single game was just the 3 dudes on the opposition team doing the exact same things over and over again.

It was absolutely horrible to play against, and not in the way guarding someone good can be horrible at times, but just the same repetitive crap game after game after game. Speed boosting ruined 2k park way more than P4 did last year.

I'm absolutely delighted 2k have addressed this and they deserve credit.

Lol cheesers are pathetic. They're crying and threatening to not buy 2K17 because they can't use an exploit anymore? Good riddance, go play the other game.

The dribble moves make perfect sense. I can still break down defenders and blow by people by playing the angles instead of doing random moves with no purpose.

Exactly!

For people who actually understand the game of basketball, dribble moves are more effective when you use them properly.

The only people complaining are the ones who prefer "arcade" style basketball. I haven't had a chance to check out the game post-patch, but if the game is more "sim" style basketball, I'm going to love the new path.

I really don't get the complaints...it fixed an exploit, it didn't take away bursts of speed alltogether.....this is a bad thing? Game feels a lot better online and offline imo

I mean, at least play first....everyone has a 'Bah 2k' speech prepared without even experiencing the changes....if you aren't feeling it after that, then that's fair....

No compression pants again is really disappointing, not only that, the fact you can't pair socks with any other long leg wear. Even last year you could use ankle wraps with leg wear to create the look for your player that you wanted, but they've taken that out this year.

2K needs to realize that quick players can explode from a dead stop. In fact, this isn't done well enough in 2K16.

If I'm CP3 and a medicore defender is up on me, I should be able to blow right around him without using any kind of dribble move. They need to add more explosiveness to some of these guys.

I was about to say..I thought the game wasn't explosive ENOUGH.

One of my biggest gripes was the lack of explosiveness from players. It takes too long to execute what you want to do sometimes and is just flat out boring sometimes when you do the softest take or slowest step back possible.. Only time you ever get explosion from our world class athletes, is when it's a canned animation..

Game just getting muddier so the grandpa minded developers can try to 'be sim'

There's a point it gets less sim when players are worse in the video game then real life..

You can still speed burst when you properly blow by someone with the correct moves. Pre-patch you can initiate that speed burst just dribbling which exploits the defense.

Are you watching the same basketball I'm watching?

Klay in this highlight is much, much faster compared to that video. In fact, the whole game, the player movement is much faster than in that video.

And Klay and Tim Hardawary Jr have similar ratings for speed/quickness/acceleration/ball handling in 2K16 AFAIK.
