Damn visual concepts your 2 most recent sports games and I believe only sports games are causing you to lose customers. That’s not cool

Console: PS4 Pro
Camera: broadcast
Problem: game always stutters like crazy when shot clock is down to 5secs or less (ie huge framerate drop - unplayable)
Online and offline
I have re-downloaded the game. Rebuildin database has been done on my console.
Still having the same issue

PSN and 2K both have been ignoring my messages. This is simply not good enough.
Thx for the article btw !

People may not want to hear this, but every year 2k makes more and more money on a product that is getting worse and worse. It's not 2k's fault they are making all that money, it's the people who continue to buy it. As long as those profits keep setting records year in and year out, there is no reason for 2k to care about the problems with the game. As much as people complain, words mean nowhere near what money does.

I have a Pro and I don't have this issue like in that vid. Wow, does it get that bad? Is it the TV? I still have a 1080i Samsung tv...I'm planning on getting a 4k in the future though...

Chchoi is exactly right. *Framerate drops when the shot clock hits 5. *I’m not a programmer, but this suggests a bug vs the console not being able to handle the graphics. *You’d think this could be fixed by now (though it would have been impossible not to notice this before release )

It could be a red herring of sorts though. Perhaps when the shot clock gets low, fans start to do something more, or audio takes up more performance, or something else along those lines more than just the shot clock itself. In addition, I know some people have no issues if they play at older arenas, which makes me think it perhaps has something to do with crowd/arena assets and what happens with them in terms of what they do late in the shot clock.

Played just a few games on my Pro during launch weekend and the framerate was one of the worst I've experienced this generation.* It was just a rental...glad I rented it first.*
