I think we have a difference of opinion man, I know what you're talking about.

To me it seems fine, the overall explosiveness of players in this game could be better in general. Someone mentioned maybe having a new rating that differentiates first step from acceleration or something. It's definitely not real life like with the ability to cut and drive out of a size up but I can see what 2K is trying to do but limiting some of it because people will exploit any and everything. It's sad really.

No offense taken, just healthy discussion back and forth.

I understand. And don't get me wrong, I don't like that the animation is gone. But I am also happy speed boosting back and forth is gone. But like I said, I think 2K was just trying to fix it before the RTTF Tourney. Honestly, I think they should have slowed that animation down if anything and waited to fully fix in 2K17, but to remove it completely is disappointing.

But man is it entertaining hearing the speed boosters get upset. This video has a lot of them mad on Twitter because it's acting like its a video on how to speed boost now lol:

That was horrible user defense showcased moreso than it was a launch because you were left wide open with so much space to go. The launch itself was still at such a slow pace it didn't even register to my eyes like a "launch" - the progress was so casual and monopaced - not a word but got to use mono to describe how there is almost no noticeable inflection in the launch.

Eh, I feel like it's a bit of overanalyzation to get the view across. If you have general issue with 2k's take on speed/ explosion, that's something I wont argue that with you. Nothing has really changed though....just the exaggerated boost you would get from particular moves.

For one, it's Tim Hardaway Jr., I don't expect the explosion to be lighting fast. The cross did what it was supposed to do, made him go one way, and I successfully exploited that by branching and driving. It was definitely a successful launch sequence IMO- again, if you had an issue with the overall speed of the game I doubt that will change- that's a different subject

As an example, I'm branching out of a sig size up here with Kyrie here....happens much quicker in comparison- against SS/CPU D

IMO that looks almost perfect to me. A step ahead is what quick NBA players generally get and thats what it looks like here.

I think people who are mourning the speed boost think that getting past your defender with moves means leaving him in the dust at the 3pt line while you streak in for a dunk. It doesn't really happen like that in real life

I hear you and I understand where you're coming from, and damn that video is hilarious.

The salt in the park and on twitch is real with this patch, I have a feeling a lot of these dudes are gonna need to watch some 2KU videos or something with their cheese gone.

I agree.

You can still get complete blow bys as well, just not all the time...

After this new patch NBA TODAY menu still stuck in april 22 games schedule

It's been like that for me without the patch. #xboxone

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've been saying this for years man. Granted, I don't play online, but I've felt like the first steps were too slow in 2k.

Maybe I just suck, wouldn't surprise me, but I find it far too often that I can't take advantage when a big switches out to guard my PG. Guys like Westbrook, Rose, Curry and the like don't need size-ups or dribble moves to get past bigger defenders at the top of the key. They just don't.

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.

Except you shouldn't have to always pull off a dribble move to blow past someone. That just isn't realistic.

Very happy with the patch right now. Played a couple of ranked games and one against 24th letter, and I really liked the way it felt.

Re: NBA 2K16 Patch #6 Available Now For PlayStation 4, Patch Notes Included

Like the way the game feels now after this patch, mainly play online teams and enjoyed my park for the 1st time in awhile as a big man. I use the Cavs online, and was didnt have any issues with Kyrie or LBJ getting separation.

@All -

So this particular patch does not affect offline gameplay?

[IgotSyphillis]

Re: NBA 2K16 Patch #6 Available Now For PlayStation 4, Patch Notes Included

I only play offline. I'm in the first round of my playoffs right now and I turned off the auto download of the patch cause I don't want to mess anything up. I still remember last year when that final patch ruined a whole years worth of effort by making the game too easy. So my question is to those who have the patch, how does it affect one who solely plays offline? Should I get it. I don't really use complicated dribble moves to begin with. Just picks and passing and post ups is how I score. Does it affect the CPU beating me off the dribble? Does it affect my first step when I pass to player and try and take it to the hole just using a regular analog movement with no special dribble? I don't know what to do.

This is the 'community' now...it's crazy

Have you played PNO yet?

Nah, I haven't been on in a few days. Plus I'm on Xbox One so I'm not sure if the patch is even out for us yet.

Is the cpu less effective in iso situations with this patch 24th or anyone else for that matter? Are cpu Lebron, Westbrook, etc still effective?
