Has anyone played any games vs the CPU since the ACE updates today? Does it seem like defense was helped by these updates?

Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.
Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

Guys like you are the reason this game gets patched unnecessarily. How are guys stepping out of bounds a problem? It happens all the time in the NBA. And we all know this game needs as many non-steal turnovers as possible.
BS! If you call AI bumping into "AI with the ball" and shoving/sliding him out of bounds without him moving his feet a good non-steal turnover... well ok. I call it broken.

ACE Update? Did you mean the in-game Update? Do they tell us what has changed with those?
All I can say is, after the in-game update today all my games have been terrible. I can't hit open shots, my team can't do layups and screens are not working since the defender just blows by. I have no idea what is going on. I actually played a few games right before the in-game update and those were very close and absolutely fair.

Exactly this. We all want perfect, or what we as individuals perceive as perfect to us, but we also know that it won't happen. So, I'd say I can speak for a lot of us (complainers) and say that we'd be happy if there were at least slight improvement to legacy issues, or at the very least - no regression. Having to try and stomach the defensive play in this game is a chore. The on ball defense is clairvoyant and robotic, but off ball defenders are lobotomy victims. The cpu can shoot 60% and higher on me, effortlessly. Transition everything is pure and utter garbage. Seriously...there's no way to even remotely put a positive spin on it.
I don't play online so I thankfully don't have the headaches many endure. With that said it's pretty much unacceptable that in 2016 there are server stability issues. The same issues that were present back in the Dreamcast days. There are so many games out there that have a huge online population running 24/7 yet they don't have these issues.
We aren't all being unreasonable. Or I'll say that to me, what I just mentioned aren't unreasonable expectations.
Oh yes, I even forgot online matchmaking and lag. I play online. 20 games so far, at least 15 was a mirror match. I play with the Bulls and pray every time to get any other opponent, even GSW or Cleveland...But no, I wait for a few minutes (unacceptable since last year I only had to wait for 10 seconds or so) and get to play against the Bulls again. 2k16 it was irritating to play against Warriors and Cavs 90% of the time, but this is an even worse extreme.
Re: NBA 2K17 Patch 1.05 Available Now, Rosters Updated - Full Details Here
As I said in my other post in this thread, the patch did improve the gameplay. Glad to see I can play 12 minute quarters without seeing constant sky high scores & shooting percentages. Liking the speed of the game. The CPU doesn't make every shot.
I'm enjoying the game but to a fault. I hate that I have to constantly sprint down the court with the center to prevent cheap layups. My teammate defenders stand & watch offensive players run right past them. Lots of bailout paint foul calls.
I feel like there's a few glaring issues that if removed would make this game damn great. Its already pretty good seeing that 2k gets a lots of things right but certain pros are cancelled out by certain cons. Some of those cons are just too prevelant at times, messes up the flow of the game. Instead of the CPU playing good basketball they resort to cheap tactics. Defenders warping into you, rebounds grabbed thru your body, full court passes for an easy lay up, etc.
With all of this said regarding CPU gameplay I've still been winning. I do think that good ball movement on offense & the good that you "can" do on defense will win you games. Might be frustrating at times though. I was killing the Suns as the Warriors in my last game & they just kept finding ways to make it closer than it should have been. Won by 10 points but the lead should have been much bigger.
That's the rest of my 2 cents on this game post patch. MyLeague/Quick Games offline, Superstar default, 12 minutes. Has anyone else found more success shooting with the shot stick since the update? Before this update I went back to square because it didn't seem to make a difference. Now I'm back to the shot stick & I'm making significantly more shots.
Re: NBA 2K17 Patch 1.05 Available Now, Rosters Updated - Full Details Here
Oh yeah, wanted to say as well that I don't feel that the CPU can only score using cheap tactics. I've seen well run plays that leave me shaking my head, in a good way. Just wish those were the plays that gave them momentum & changed the pace of the game rather than an and1 play after easily getting the ball into the paint & my CPU teammate (or me when I haven't even reached for a steal) gets automatically put into a foul animation.
Re: NBA 2K17 Patch 1.05 Available Now, Rosters Updated - Full Details Here
Hey, has anyone had trouble contesting shots on close-outs?
My players will run towards the offensive player but absolutely refuse to contest the shot by putting a hand up when I use the shot stick. It's a bit aggravating and I'm not sure why it's happening.

Yeah same here. I have shot contest on intense d & for some reason it hasn't worked lately.

You need to learn the coach settings because most of the problems your complaining about is all up to you.. Maybe you guys need a sliders adjustment or something.. 2k has never been perfect but it gives a chance to actually make the game as you want.. Stop complaining because if another patch comes out and something else is ruin while fixing another issue.. All you will do is complain again.. Its a lose lose with you guys.. Im not speaking to the guys online but the ones offline should not be complaining.. The offline gameplay is absolutely great and the patch has made major improvements and it can only get better.. I believe with the right small patches with a great roster tendency edit and my sliders .. This game could be the best ever apart from gta.. Ive been playing 2k since dreamcast and I've always stood by 2k..they aren't scientist.. They are game developers and their doing a wonderful job.. I believe in 3 to 5 more years this game will be as real as no other game.. The new tuning system has made the game speed perfect.. Not too fast and not too slow.. And yes it'd a few bugs here and there but keep in mind that it's a man made game and not from God himself.. Its a video game and not the real nba.. If you want the real nba.. ESPN is always on.. You guys have to understand that the more the fix one issue another may pop up.. I say one more patch and they should leave the game how it is and work on 2k18..all you guys are complaining but will still go buy 2k18 once you see the new gameplay and graphic commercial that comes out
Re: NBA 2K17 Patch 1.05 Available Now, Rosters Updated - Full Details Here
Whatever happened when the patch released and the game feeling free and organic is now completed gone with what I assume was the roster update. CPU defenders are now absolutely otherworldly on defense now. It is ridiculous and stupid. The bumping and mirror like cut offs of the CPU are ramped up even worse than it was before. It seems no matter what this game is doomed to be a frustrating experience. I no longer enjoy playing anything on Superstar or HOF. It is not sim, not realistic, not enjoyable, and not basketball. We are supposed to be at a point in video games where there is no significant catch-up speed, no bandaids for poor game design etc. There is no such thing as swinging the ball around to catch defense off balance. The defense is literally never off balance. You can't use momentum against the CPU. Couple that with random turnovers and the inability to make anything if a defender so much as breathes on you from behind. I've reached a breaking point.

Having the same issue. Contests don't register correctly post patch so now you run up to a guy expecting your hand to go up and all you do is look him in the face as he drains a shot

It's actually defensive input lagging for whatever reason post patch. Movement/reaction differs most of the time.

You're literally a moron if you think you're gonna get a perfect game , ever. So just accept it for it was, shut up and play , or shut up and return it. Either way all this complaining is so annoying. All you're gonna do is make them break the game again for people who are actually enjoying. People like YOU are never gonna enjoy it no matter what they do. So why don't you and everyone else complaining just return the game and the ones who are actual optimists, realists, and sim ballers, play this wonderful game. Peace 2k forums.
