This is great to hear! I was a huge advocate of patching the on-ball defense. I play exclusively off-line, and I could not stand how overpowered (sticky) the on-ball CPU defense is.

I knew if they patched this issue it would make the game feel significantly more organic and free flowing.

so you mean to tell me a new patch will drop & they STILL haven't addressed the inability to save your camera settings for play now online???

Read this whole thread. Some comments in this thread are hilarious...

Anyway, I've played the game exclusively in its original state. I was pessimistic to update to the patch. Hell, that means I gotta take my PS4 to mom dukes house and why do all that of its a negative outcome.

Nevertheless, it was WELL with the trip! I wa a fan of CPU on ball defense prior but truthfully, it feels just as good if not better now.

Some things I Think I noticed
-Plays run quicker out of playbook
-The CPU runs a lot more plays and less zip it into the paint for easy bucket
-This is huge for me and I'm 100% sure on this, Ace Is working to an extent. Watching CPU vs. CPU didn't give me the urge to jump in because the gameplay isn't accurate
-Blocks aren't "nerfed." They are just refined, meaning bigs will **** up your weak sauce but Rubio won't.
-CPU is smarter and more aggressive in a organic way.
-Fast breaks can still be utilized, even though they have been adjusted

Things that still need to be patched/fixed, in my opinion.
-Crowd... I think 2K is saving this for next year and will tout as new feature, lol
- Side step shots by CPU. Number one, they are still too prevalent and number two, they don't drop enough. I still rarely see them go on from signature players like Aldridge, Gasol...ect.
-bail out fouls need to be tweaked. Only few players should have that talent aka Kawhi, Lebron, Harden.
-End of game highlights
-This may sound crazy but CPU Curry needs to be more unpredictable. More unstoppable but they have tweaked him a bit but somehow, he needs to be more deadly...ratings aside.
-Touches for Bulls need to be adjusted. Watched CPU vs. CPU game and Butler had 5 FG attempts on 11 minute quarters and Rose had 27.
-BAIL OUT FOULS

Besides that small list, the game plays spectacular and I'm glad I took the trip to update it; it Was worth it. Also, shout out to beds. Roster plays dam good except Curry needs to shoot from west bumble **** and Butler needs to be more prevalent in Bulls offense.

Thank you, 2K.

Mike dropped me a note explaining that the code fix for handling stationary step boosts separately from other skill shots is in the patch, but it needed a shooting boost update as well. That should have dropped at 2AM so the fix should be live now.

They should have improved the defensive A.I. for pick n rolls instead of dumbing down the players like that. They might as well too k the play out the game. And speaking of the A.I., they do some really lame stuff. Like open shooters just roaming 5 ft behind the 3pt line. Who does that? That's wack. So when u pass them the ball their not in position to catch and shoot. But yet, 2k wants to market their product as "sim". LOL

How do you NOT run the pick and roll as the Warriors and call yourself sim? O_o

How do you not "personally care" for the most often run play in basketball and assert anything about what "sim" should be?

How?!

I want the ability to shoot fade aways off the dribble again.
