NBA 2K15 Patch #4 Available Now, Primarily Addresses Shoe Issues

[madmax52277]

I had a feeling it was time for a new controller, things are much better with this game now. I can't speak for the online users but those who said shooting is so easy, when the cpu start playing defense and you start missing layups and put back, and stupid turnovers.. you're going to need jump shot's to fall.

Regressing fix!
Shot glitch fix!
Gameplay fix!
Animation's fix!
Defense fix!
Graphics/optimize fix!
My controller fix!
My quote's often not fix!
Passing mechanics ??
Online users ?????

Things can't be perfect all the time, but 2k did a heck of a job. I'm finally @#peace.

Yes. I turned the shot meter and shot feedback off. I helps me miss more shots because im not that good at player shot releases. And i hate looking at that bar under player feet trying to hit the green release.

I'm impressed with 2k. They released a 4th patch after I personally said I didn't think they would. Based on how close we are to the next 2K. Hopefully this addresses the step backs & side to sides/hesitations moves at the park.


But regardless of whatever new issues this patch may bring. I can't complain because at least this shows they are really trying. And they might actually care about us after all lol...

Kudos to 2K for a 4th patch.

Thanks guys. I appreciate it.

It's a bunch of people apparently more interested in finding glitches and exploits to take advantage of then actually playing BASKETBALL. I just don't get it. My brain honestly HURTS trying to understand what exactly goes thru the mind of someone who plays a game like this only to take advantage of every little glitch and exploit in an effort to win a meaningless video game against a complete stranger. Just look at the results of this patch...in no more than a few days, these cheesers have already found ways to ABUSE the game and some of its flaws. It just gets old... And I'm not buying the "it's little kids" argument anymore. Because many of the worst offenders I play are anything but "kids". They are grown-*** men who apparently have nothing better to do than find stupid exploits and troll people like myself who just want to play an honest game of video game basketball. Some of it falls on 2K...but there is only so much they can do. As far as that goes, I still fail to understand WHY they can't find a way to segregate gamers who have different ways of playing the game. Exactly why can't there be Online Ranked Games with two choices - Casual and Hardcore? This is such a simple solution that would allow Casual players to match up with casual players at a lower difficulty level and also allow Sim players to match up with other Sim players at a higher difficulty level. No extra server load, just don't match up players with differing outlooks on HOW to play the game. It's just makes sense. The other thing they need to take a look at is the entire concept of "TURBO" and how it is used in the game. The way the mechanics of it are used now is so ARCADE that it cripples the game. It's just an overpowered weapon that begs to be abused. There has to be a better way...either building momentum into the game so that you have to use it to get to full speed...or maybe incorporating something like a "Burst" button or modifier that is more of a short-term thing, instead of the current feature that just makes basketball players look like they are HOCKEY players skating around on ICE when it is overused.

I agree.

But change 2k community to "the entire world" lol

It's never gonna stop. Human see. Human do.

Yeah I see it like this your level of shooting sliders will depend on how many perfect releases you can get.

There are four variables

1. How many "perfect" greens you get which is a stick skill part. If you get a lot of green's shooting will be easy. So you will have to do more to lower your ratings

2. How well you are at defending shots

3. How well the CPU defends your shots

4. How many plays you run/style of play

I was just thinking...has anyone thought that the change to shooting percentages and number of green releases was to compensate for the broken jumpers in this game? Being an online Pacers users, I was basically doomed to poor offensive games no matter how well I knew release points and how often I created open shots, because I couldn't get a green release to save my life. Some of you who are complaining about easy shooting were already using maxed out my career players, powerhouse online teams, and My Team which are basically teams of all-star players.

Some teams were unusable in online ranked games due broken shot releases. I spent hours upon hours in the practice mode trying to learn the releases of players, and the player that I use the most for open jumpers is Rudez and Scola. That's a damn shame and crime that I have to rely on bench players to take the final shot just because they're easier to use.

Personally, if this patch allows me to use George Hill, Stuckey, Watson, and Copeland as my 3PT threats and David West's pick and pop game (as it should be) PLUS give me better tools to play defense, then I'm all for this patch.

Real talk, the other game has this same "problem" of "easy" shooting, but I'm having fun though. I can play strong defense while making my opponent pay for lazy defense with open jumpers or a methodical offensive game. I want to do the same in this game like I did in NBA 2K11 for online ranked games.

I play with the kings. My friend gets "greenies" on almost every shot with the Suns. I get right on the mark but never seem to get green. Kings have a few really good 3 shooters too. I only play with the Kings but I think from my experience green shots are dependant more on team unfortunately

I have never thought a jumper was broken because a green releasecouldn't be achieved. 2k needs to seriously remove this green stuff its messing with out minds. Jason terry and kj McDaniels are only rockets to get a green release on HOF level and I still beat down people in ranked games
