Again, judge this patch not by the extremes nut by user skill in head to head. I don't mess with offline so I cannot opine on that; plus you offline guys have sliders, something OL and OA heads would kill for. Both games can be seen on my twitch archives linked in the sig for verification that defense can still be played, even against elite teams and elite 2k players.

Well getting to 100's points range with only 28 pip points and 9 free throws and %50 fg is definitely a bad bad sign, nowhere near acceptable considering what's really happening on nba courts. I don't think this can be justified.

These games were played before the ratings adjustments. We restarted our lg with the new ratings and carried our records over so it was a restart in name only. You are right. We couldn't justify the stupid easy shooting post patch buffed by inflated ratings. We are now seeing scores reflect pre patch 5 hof sim grind gsmes. Although I am still not happy with how 2k boosted mid range and open shot percentages, the ratings adjustments or hot fix is a good band aid for hof sim online user vs user gameplay. With how screwed we have been with broken leagues, I'm just happy to be playing balanced head to head league games again after the ratings adjustments.

Can we please get that 5th patch or something to fix the shooting?

Took a lot of the fun out of the mode for me in MC and Park/Rec. Too easy for everyone. People are just shooting from damn near half court now. And in MC which I care about more, my CPU teammates and the CPU players are just raining shots they'd never usually make. Even contested.

Y'all basically admitted it's an issue by doing a global update on players. So let's fix it for everyone change the shooting back to how it used to be minus the broken jumpers. If people playing ranked and etc with the global updates, leave it as is but if the patch has to be just dedicated to MC and for the people that plays MyTeam, cool. We just need one last patch.

The occasional sniping sucks but I feel the game is fair and fun in the park. If you play defense they miss. If you leave a good shooter open he dunks or hits the shot. A little arcadey but fair and fun

[Jrocc23]

It's fun, but if you know how to shoot even a little bit it can get ridiculous. Especially with players that know how to play. I am raining shots in park. I am surprised as hell when I do miss. Also this patch results in people wanting 2's all game long.

Ever since the patch, pull-ups go in at a SUPER high rate also because of the inflated shooting percentages. And users aren't even trying to do it, it happens by accident. Also that stupid little lean back/floater type shot is money but that it has been since before the patch specially got CPU players. Bottom line for Park is a lot of shots are going in that's not supposed to. Even players that's not good you have to be concerned about now when giving up jumpers.

My main issue is MyCareer though. It's wayyy too easy with me and my CPU making everything now. Contested and everything. The opposing CPU does the same thing. You have players with a 70 raining 3s. Mainly because you have CPU teammates and 2K made it where CPU contest isn't as effective as users. The shooting needs to be fixed for the modes that couldn't get the global rating decreases.

Is this the case after the roster ratings were edited?

[Jrocc23]

The ratings weren't edited for MyCareer. But for ranked games and association and etc, I can't really speak on. I haven't played a ranked game or with regular teams since the patch.

I can't wait to see the notes. It's my favorite part not knowing exactly what they changed.
