NBA 2K17 Patch 1.12 Available Now, Patch Notes Included

[Nickstank]

AWESOME - Improvements to double team logic for more appropriate rotations and to prevent help defenders from leaving their assignments.

DON'T CARE - Enhanced several dribble size-up combos to make them more responsive when chaining moves together.

THANK YOU - Improved logic for off-ball collisions to prevent excessive bumping, resulting in a smoother offensive flow.

FINALLY - Removed select dribbler collision reactions that would slow down the ball handler when contact was made from behind.

MEH - Offensive AI enhancements for better decision making when countering double teams.

NOT SURE WHAT THIS WILL MEAN - Fixed an issue that would allow you to travel if rapidly chaining together certain rhythm dribble animations.

Overall I'm fairly happy with the changes that were made, but it's not nearly enough and some of these are 6 months too late. 2K is a strange, strange company.

This better not equal as a nerf to online defense - it's already bad enough - pretty much making offense easier than it is. People don't like to pass as it is - some of these things atleast made them pass. Knowing 2k they try to fix something and make something worse.

Hopefully that means speedboosting is nerfed atleast - but i doubt it. If so then atleast we have something positive.

--------

Very pissed that they didn't adress brick wall. Or atleast pick dodger. Pshh.

The best we can hope is more positives than negatives come from this patch.

I wonder if "Among the changes" means there is more they did their not telling us.

How about fixing the issue where young guys (21,22,23) will retire because they haven't played in a year? That's really annoying while playing MyLeague.

I'm hoping they implement some type of D-League next year to prevent this

Actually thought I'd see something defense related. Should have known better.

That's what I would love as well. We had it before bring it back. Especially with there being more teams now.

I'd love if they could just implement some sort of call up system. Allow each team the ability to call up to 3 players (this way there isn't a revolving door of prospects). Any player called up is under contract with the team & takes up a roster spot. You can send them back down to the dleague but they are still your contracted player.

The TL;DR version is :

"Defense can go to hell"
