NBA 2K17 Patch 1.08 Available Now, Patch Notes Included (PS4, Xbox One)

Re: NBA 2K17 Patch 1.08 Available Now, Patch Notes Included (PS4, Xbox One)

If any 2k developers are reading this, please find a way to fix and or tune open shot 3's! Now anyone can hit. Glasscleaners, Paint Protectors, Athletic Finishers from corner. Anywhere! And that goes for my park and proam!

This link is the proof of a Paint Protector shooting 8 3's during a Pro Am Tournament game which was supposedly on Superstar Sim difficulty:

Please please fix this! It makes the game completely unrealistic.

Well uh, if he makes the first open three, then start playing him closer because he more than likely invested attributes into his three ball, making it a 60, which is, in this 2k, serviceable.

Don't complain, just play closer. With a 60 three pointer, all you have to do is breathe in their general area, and it'll more than likely be a miss.

Stop thinking everyone is supposed to be a one-trick pony in this game. "Oh, if I take away the ONE THING they're supposed to do well, then they should be nothing more than a body on the court! WTF 2k!" Some players have skill outside of their archetype, it's just that simple.

WTF!!!! WOW... Just wow..... People need to wake up.... Seriously.... Wake up!! I totally understand the frustration from the those players. "Get the corner!!... But that's a Paint protector... Silents"

It's crazy, i've been a life-long 2k fan and i've been known by my friends to at times make excuses for 2k, to tell my friends that it'll get better, that the developers are listening and crafting a better game every year...but after that, i had nothing to say.

All summer pre-release, we heard "archetypes are going to matter/make a difference" etc. etc. but it's obvious unless this game is bumped to harder difficulties archetypes play beyond their intended skills...smh.

I'm just disappointed because Pro-Am is widely claimed to be the antithesis to the arcade style gameplay of the park -- it's supposed to be SIM. But obviously that's not the case...idk at this point i'm just disappointed this hasn't been addressed or even looked at yet.

And it's not like 2k doesn't know this part of their game exists, they do! I'm sure they're aware of all these out-of-position players shooting like Steph but...they want to keep their game welcoming for everybody...i just don't understand then, the need to create archetypes this year. IF EVERY ARCHETYPE CAN SHOOT, WHY NOT JUST LEAVE THE CREATED MY-PLAYERS AS IT WAS LAST YEAR WHEN EVERYONE HAD BASICALLY A 99 IN EVERY RATING CATEGORY....SMH.

If you think rebounding specialists should be able to shoot 80% on 3s, you're part of the problem that has turned this game into an arcade jokefest.

Sagging off bad 3 point shooters should be a viable tactic, but the game over rewards being open to a ridiculous degree. I had Brian fking Grant who has a 25 rating for open 3s hit 3 three pointers (one fading away) on me last night because I told my PF to gap him.

This year's programming is broken in so many area's it's not even funny at this point, and zero attention to gameplay in this patch just reinforces that 2K don't care.

EXACTLY! Sagging off should be a viable strategy for inconsistent shooters. We assumed he had 55-65 3 pt, but that still doesn't warrant him making 8 3's like he's Ray Allen in his prime.

Tbh, if this game was SIM as it constantly declares, that man would of at most made 2-3 3's out of 10. And of course, defending that, we could've lived with that.

No, the PROBLEM is people whining all year long about every other freakin' archetype until 2k had to come up with all these patches and shooting adjustments. Which is one of the reasons why I knew this archetype crap would be a failure to begin with. You ever think Dimer is helping him out, along with all of the appropriate measures to ensure he can spread the floor a bit?

A 60 rated three is serviceable. If he hits ONE three, then guess what? Close the darn gap. Why is that such a hard concept? I HAVE a LDD, and I can tell you that they aren't always consistent from 3 every freakin' game. But guess what? If I'm open in the corner with the appropriate badges and hotspots, then if you choose to leave me open, that's YOUR problem, not MINE.

So what, a Slasher should be able to do literally nothing but go to the rim? A LDD should be able to do literally nothing but play defense? A Glass Cleaner should be able to do literally nothing but rebound? Come on.

Re: NBA 2K17 Patch 1.08 Available Now, Patch Notes Included (PS4, Xbox One)

8 Patches in, over half way through the season, half way through this games life cycle, and 2k hasn't fixed a single game play issue!
They made attempts at fixing shooting and it failed. Shooting is still broken along with hundreds of other things.

Every time 2k puts out a patch, something gets broken. I don't know if anyone else has experienced this, but since this patch came out I have been unable to join friends in park or get put in the same pro am walk on game with friends.
I'm still receiving upgrades from practice after I'm a 95. 2k claims that I'm the problem, that I'm in some way cheating or violating a terms of service agreement.
Your game is broken, your servers are garbage, and you have no idea how to fix your unfinished and broken in almost every way game.

Edit: The joining friends in park or getting into pro am with friends went back to normal, meaning that it works, sometimes.
So, so far, I haven't found what this patch broke. This might be the first patch that didn't break something else that 2k has put out this year.

Bro you're wrong. A player with 60 shooting rating should not be hitting shots from distance like that. You can leave Rondo open all day from 3, he's going to miss in real life. Go play my GM and see how fast your tune changes when you realize EVERYBODY is a threat to hit a 3.

Re: NBA 2K17 Patch 1.08 Available Now, Patch Notes Included (PS4, Xbox One)

Your argument will start making sense as soon as my Playmaker starts grabbing 8 boards over the top of a glass cleaner every game.

I've outboarded Glass Cleaners before with my LDD. Not always, but I've done it more than quite a few times. I run with a Paint Protector/Post Scorer/6'8" Point Forward who, a lot of times, outboards Glass Cleaners. It's called possessing the skill to do it.

Yeah, and I learned in this 2k, even before all the shooting patches, that a 60 three can hit. How? By playing HOF MyCareer and having Thaddeus Young hit threes for me.

And even early in the year, I think it was either Mike or Zimmerman who specifically stated that a 60ish three point rating means their shot is "effective", but not always consistent. So you should've seen this a mile away WHEN THE GAME WAS IN ITS EARLY STAGES.

And just like I said in the video, as soon as a defender breathed on him, he threw up a tire iron.

Re: NBA 2K17 Patch 1.08 Available Now, Patch Notes Included (PS4, Xbox One)

Yo has anyone else played any games since 8 and 9?

I can't say anything for MyCareer, but I played a MyTeam Domination against the Magic, and I might be imagining this, but the defensive rotations, switches, offensive ball movement and overall flow was insane..from both me and AI. Insane in a good way. Plays were snapping to start quick and one possesion thej just seamlessly snapped into screen and movement like i ahev never seen in this game.

Only 1 game, so doesn't mean anything...but yo this was drastically noticeable to me, and on Pro difficulty. Just yesterday I was able to pick out 5 idiotic plays in a quarter and a half...to today's.

Someone play something not on Pro or AllStar and take notice and of the D. Is this all in my head eh?

Re: NBA 2K17 Patch 1.08 Available Now, Patch Notes Included

Na it's the PNO now stuff. I haven't played 2k in 2k months now. I can't take the mirror matches and the fastbreaks holding. Drives me crazy. First year I haven't been active on 2k. First ever.....

LMAO @ "In 2K months..." though. I don't know why that's so funny to me.

Anyway, it seems like a lot of people are as fed up as I am w/ gameplay. I'm so glad I'm not alone. Fastbreaks, double teams...It's frustrating because this game could be so awesome because it's only a few minor adjustments from greatness but either they can't fix them in a timely manner or they just won't. It's sad and leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It makes me feel like it's all about the money w/ the company rather than putting out the most simulation sports game possible.

Lol let's say since Christmas. I haven't played like I'm use to playing this time of the year. I'd usually have about 100 videos posted now.

I've only been playing NHL lately.

This is the worst 2K I've ever played... Yet i still play it. I'm a hopeless soul. I Come home from playing basketball and i want to play a basketball game. I watch basketball on my league pass and I want to play a hoops video game. It's been pure torture this year man.

are you guys strictly online game mode focused?

offline in myleague, with tendency, rating, slider tweaks this game is good. not great, but good and far from unplayable.

Did they fix the glitch with ANY player being able to DUNK on anyone? I see shapshooters and playmakers dunking like slashers!

The animation swap glitch was fixed, but any MyPlayers who did that glitch still have those animations equipped and can still use them.

Just another instance of 2K continuing their long history of failing to police their games effectively and punish cheaters properly.

Eh, people shouldn't have to adjust how each player and team individually play to get this to play a normal game of basketball.

That being said, unedited HoF plays pretty well offline and that's what I stick with. But not everyone is good enough to play HoF, and having to jump through editing hoops just to play a normal game of video game hoops is pretty ridiculous.

But this patch basically proves that us offline gamers are going to be stuck with what the product is at this point. Online is the only thing that's going to get actual fixes until 2k18 comes out.
