NBA 2K16 Patch #4 Available For PlayStation 4, Xbox One & PC - Details Included

[HowDareI]

So, I was out all day today and when I got home we had 4 on to play Pro-Am...

These are my reactions after 4 games:

Don't lose the ball anymore dribbling, at all. You can go right into the defense and the ball stays; they should've kept a balance but now we're onto the other extreme imo.

Can't hit shots to save my life, it seems like the already inconsistent 3's are even more inconsistent. Deadeye, Limitless Range, and Microwave and I'll shoot below 30% being wide open...nah, that's bogus.

My friend plays at center, has max inside scoring/athleticism/defense/rebounding.
He can easily grab 20 boards a game, but can't hit inside shots at all anymore. Has post move badges but is missing even on mismatches in the post.

Contact layups seem like they're completely gone, unless you're not near anyone I haven't seen anyone making any at all.

The worse parts now:

So many pump fakes getting called into fouls. I'm seeing hands up defense now being sucked into animations; not good at all. My friend got called on a foul perfectly contesting a 3 with no contact at all...it was almost hilariously bad.

Every person in the world can reach on a drive and get a steal. Stealing was toned down? But it's actually worse...makes sense.
I had 5 turnovers in a game, all off reaching on a drive. By a help defender...on the opposite ball hand.....but it's not a foul........riiiight.

The good?:

I have a little more control of my player.....that's it....literally.......

Wow yo, I don't think I've EVER had such a negative experience playing 2K in my life. Even the infamous patch 4 on 15 wasn't that bad too me. People were hitting everything but I just gunned right back..and I was always a good scorer.
I pray that this was just a fluke, and maybe the connection is off or it needs to be tuned a little more or SOMETHING...

But honestly yo, (IMO, key words) this is the worst patch I've ever, ever seen.
They've strayed so very far away from what I remember on day 1. I'll take all the crazy blocks from guards over what happens now any day. To me, this game out of the box was nearly flawless...I'm so disappointed in this game right now it's crazy.

Yeah game is playing great right now overall

The CPU defense on SS/Sjm feels crazy sticky right now though....it's like my pet crossovers are getting canceled by contact...and this is coming from a guy who hadn't complained about it from day one...

I'll get after it again tomorrow, but it felt off in my last game tonight...

If you receive the ball while your player is moving, the ball can still come loose before your player has enough time to go into the pass fake animation.

It's because the pass fake animation is a stationary animation only. Your player has to be at a stand-still before the pass fake will trigger.

Your player is most vulnerable to being stripped of the ball while he's moving, even moreso if you have the turbo button held down.

So I recommend using the pass fake immediately after a rebound, or immediately after catching the ball along the perimeter or down in the post on offense.

I use it all the time in Pro Am whenever I'm spotting up in the corner for a three pointer and someone is closing out on me to where I won't have enough space to shoot or drive. Just stand still, pass fake once or twice to plan out your next move, then carry on from there and you won't turn the ball over.

That same strategy works in MyPark/Gauntlet whenever you're taking the ball out at the top of the key after a foul or turnover. Just pass fake until you know where you want to go with the ball and you won't have to worry about it coming loose.

The game of 2K is like a sword fight:



You must think first...



...before you move.

After playing some more, Id have to say shooting is not only harder for me but also the AI, and I know its not me just being a good defender,lol. Before this patch I felt shooting was near perfect for me and the AI, but not a big deal, Ill just have to do some slider work to find the right spot for me and the AI offensively.

Lack of fouls were a issue on day1 and its even worse now with this last patch. Sadly Im not sure it can be fixed with sliders either considering I have them cranked too 100. Going to try and lower off/def awareness to see if that might make for more fouls but dont have much faith in that fixing it.

Gameplay other than what I mentioned with lack of fouls is still solid with this patch, so no complaints other than lack of fouls and really there needs to be more organic tournovers besides lowering passing slider to get more.

The issues that have been mentioned time and time again with My GM and My league along with lack of fouls and organic turnovers is where my gripe is and it seems this has been the same complaint for any hard core simulation style player for years. Every year I hope for the best and get very disappointed but end up buying the game anyway. I have to learn to not believe the hype and quit buying this game day1, so thats going to be a New Years resolution quite buying NBA2k day1, and treat it like I have een able to do with Madden for several years now. But thats not 2ks fault, its part of advertising and they all seem to struggle with the truth nowdays, its just sadly the way things work, but definitely going to try and stop buying into the whole BS each year.

Teammates on the bench still not clapping when you make Free Throws, zero reaction, it always happens in the NBA.
Cmon 2k

Seems that way as Im hardly seeing any fouls for me or the AI and thats with all foul sliders at 100 even. It wasnt good before with lack of fouls and now its close to unbearable.

You can try what Im going to try and drop Offense and Defense awareness sliders and see if that may help with more fouls. Doubt it does but its worht a shot I guess.
