It has essentially made our fears that the entire simulation game can be glitched past with decent timing a reality. In addition, the boost of open midrange shots being 60 for an average decent shooter seems entirely too high and out of alignment with NBA stats historically. Not even Curry has been hitting 60 wide open from midrange this season, and he's much better than a "decent" midrange shooter. My original plan was to not install the patch since the 2K15 with patch 3 played a very solid game. Unfortunately, the game loses all online connectivity without the patch, and refuses to play without it if an online connection exists. So as it stands, there are few viable resolutions. Slider settings don't work properly if the ease of green releases effectively bypass them. Not installing the patch makes the game offline only and breaks all online modes, updates, and features. I sincerely hope there will be an additional patch to bring these issues back into balance. However, Mike mentioned that the AI may be inadequate in covering the effectiveness of the players' shooting, and to wait for DaCzar to bring it up to par. I think the issue may be more problematic than that (most missed shots in NBA are actually open), and his comments make me fear that there may be no more patches for 2K15. If this is truly the case, the latest changes will have left the game in a broken state with more than six months left in the product cycle, which I do have to deem entirely unacceptable.

Wanting a patch 5 is wishful thinking. I thought we were all lucky to get a patch 4, but instead we got a patch that broke the game.

I, along with countless others, were stuck in the middle of our Reps. I've noticed post patch this was corrected. Wasn't there a shoe fix work around as well?

I think they also fixed the backcourt violations too where you get called for one because your ballhandler dribbled backwards.

I have stopped plays, because I thought I was going to get called for one.

Our 3 man team has been able to shoot over the course of the last two patches. But it did seem for a while (around the time the patch hit PS4) that the park felt different, missing shots we normally hit, playing good defense aka ''good shot defense'' and still having two's drained in our faces. I played roughly 2 1/2-3 hours last night, and the balance seemed to have returned, we worked the ball around and the majority of our open shots 1's/2's dropped, if we took contested shots we usually missed, and the same for our opponents. It even seemed like a semblance of defense had returned, strips, the ability to tip alley-oop passes (which had been very hard to come by lately), the ability to block dunks to a respectable degree, as well as layups seemed to go in at a more natural clip. It was one sitting, probably 15-20 games or so, but I was as excited to get back on 2K as I've been in a while.

Definitely this. I'm rated 80 and I saw no difference in a mycareer game.

It's normally an auto DL. Are you disc based or did you DL the game? You can try and eject the game and reinsert it. It should just boot straight into the update. It will tell you a 2.5gb update is needed.

That's weird, I've found 'almost' the exact opposite to be true. I've seen several players making open threes, even with a couple feet of space. But when we've been contesting with hands in their face I've seen only a few fall.

The 'almost' comes in the last game I played. We had a teammate that would wait for someone to contest his shot, move a foot or 2 over and make it. Close enough that I'd say it was good D.

I've seen a lot of people complaining about the patch. Saying the shooting is to easy, and the defense sucks. But I've played 10 games online and I've won all 10 of em. B4 the patch people would just play the 2-3 zone and clog the paint and it was a struggle to make a open shot, now I'm punishing the people who play zone all game instead of playin man defense. And no I didn't make every shot, I missed some open shots too but now I'm not afraid of taking those open shots because i know it has a way better chance of going in. And the defense is way better. Yes there's still those times when my opponent would zig zag to try to get an open 3 or turbo down the baseline and get to the hoop untouched but now my players react faster and move a whole lot smoother. I think they did a good job with this patch. Hopefully this is the last one. I just don't understand why they couldn't have the game like this from the beginning
