The Patch options!!!

[shadio5]

Ok this is a subject that still haunts me since NBA 2k8 (2k8 death patch). Patches. Yes they are needed. But can we all agree now that sometimes when 2k patches the game, some of the things that we love about the game get lost. Some elements that we loved about the game gets completely tarnished after the patch is received. The problem I have, is not getting a patch, but, we should have a option to revert BACK to the original game pre patch setting if we choose to. Basically we should have a choice. Because lets face it at the end of the year we will be playing a whole new game. How dangerous is that? 2k is basically experimenting with us. We buy a game and then you change it. This is not the game we bought. First impressions are important (negan).


Patches all started with 2k because of online exploits, which I think started in 2008. But then us offline guys have to pay for it when they patch the online issue. OFFLINE people should have a choice. There should be a a patch option on the option list. And in the option list is should show all the patch updates that were made to this game.

IMO the patches have removed elements which made the game less enjoyable. Sure there are some exploitable things that were "fun", but they were a selfish type of fun.

Honestly some things introduced at launch such as auto-hesis, forcefields, magnets and unresponsiveness is what kills the game for me. Patches have adjusted some of that, and removed things such as speed-boosting, and adjusted powerful badges like deadeye etc.

If you have the disk you can play off-line without updates.

Nah they just went out of their way to handicap players who knew what they were doing. Now we are getting more and more crutches for bad players.

Knew what they were doing, or being repetetive with exploits they found by viewing their favorite youtuber?

Bad players are being exposed as they can't zigzag and deadeye from good defenders.

Before back on PS2 i remember that not everyone could play 2K. I remember one time giving joypad to my 14yr old cousin for a quick game (12min) haha he scored like 30pts for whole game. Now you have 14yr olds at Park or online screaming and shouting when their ball bounces of rim while trying to dunk on 2 bigmen. #dumbdown and #make$$$

That's what you think this is? This game has been dumbed down FOR bad defenders.

You see what were doing. We are going back and forth about what was fixed and what was not fixed. To avoid all this, we should just have a menu option to go back to whatever gameplay changes we had before. We should have full control of this. This also confuses the customer. We are playing a NEW game every month. When we only paid for one game......


We should have a choice. Everyone seems to experience something different when the game gets patched. We should have a choice on what works for us. This should be mandatory
