I really wish they would have just triggered more instances of forced dribble pick ups when people dribble into traffic as a substitute for the various loose ball situations prior to patch 4 that people complained about. A forced dribble pick up would reward the defense when in good position yet give the dribbler an opportunity to keep possession(even though they may be in a bad situation). This may have kept both camps happy without making serious changes that may piss off a certain segment. I'm still a little confused about the cpu defensive rotations but overall I think this patch is a decent one..

I'm seeing the same thing it's just to easy to blow by the cpu and the defensive logic is not up to par sometimes...
I would love to have the original defense before that first patch!!!!

Yep, I use to have some struggles scoring PIP myself, but now its pretty easy for me to score in there, which is disappointing. I really do feel the game played better out of the box for us offline guys than it does now unfortunately. Sadly that seems to be the way the devs are going nowdays, for the last few years its 100% about how online players feel, and they seem to overlook what any of us say about offline, especialy when it comes to My League/My GM.

I do think a few of the issues might be able to be addressed with slider work, but imo we shouldnt have to spend half the year adjusting sliders to get the game as close to real life as possible, especially considering there selling point is its a true simulation of the real game, so to me that means it should play that way out fo the box, and if you want more of a arcade game then adjust the siders to make it arcade.


I really wish at this stage of my life that there was a great basketball text sim, as much as I love actually playing video games, the lack of work that the devs do with My League/MY GM each year makes me really wish there was a basketball text sim that rivaled that of OOTP baseball's text sim. Unfortunately there isnt one or I havent found it. Or a new basketball company would start to make a NBA vidoe game that was all about making a true sim, meaning stats were spot on and Association was there main forcus so it didnt have major issues. I dont see that happening though as I dont think anyone would take that risk with a NBA game with how well NBA2k sales are. From a business standpoint that would be a awful huge risk that in this day and age probably would be worth taking, as IM not sure there are enough of us diehard basketball fans that are all about Association mode, seems there are so many casual's that the online overtakes us, not to say all online players are casual's, but it does seem that the casuals tend to put the online over the top of us hardcore basketball fans of Association mode.

When the game first came out you could punish smaller players. You still can if you manage to dunk on them. also I boxed the computer out and they called over the back on me? What's the deal with that? The CPU is some kind of auto box out magnet. Also the gameplay is much faster. On the other hand I have no problem shooting with my guard. I can do post moves without losing the ball (even though I don't hit any drop steps, barely hook shots , up and unders, etc ... Only the post fade works ) I think the pro am was a lot more sim and fun out of the box.

This was honestly the first time I've ever been so mad at 2K I straight up refused to play for a couple days lol

I loved this game out of the box, if I could've changed anything it would be guards getting crazy blocks and so many pump fake fouls...
Other than that I was fine with everything.

Remember you used to be able to overpower bad post defenders and dunk on them quickly? Now it takes the full 5 seconds back to the basket to get a poster on a point guard.
Post shots don't even work anymore. Ever since patch 3, all these bums do is post up and press X near the rim and they score; no shimmy, no head fake, no drop steps...nope just one button and it was a foul or a bucket.
Meanwhile I'm over here making fools look stupid faking them out their shoes, and I miss open layups once they're faked outta the play...

Now I'll get to my shooter:
I understand basketball, so I understand a "perfect" release wide open doesn't fall every time. But when I'm open with a 90 3 point shot and I'm missing over and over I just give up lol
And once you make an outside scorer trying to go inside for easy looks to get a rhythm isn't gonna happen now...can't hit contested layups at all. Like you said, not even max inside big men are hitting em.

Offline, or even playing against friends is okay. I never really saw the patches effect the game as much as it does online modes like Park and Pro Am.
I still have close games, fun games in My Career and stuff like that....

It's just, whether or not it was listening to them bums again, bad basketball keeps getting rewarded and it annoys me. Day 1 I remember playing smart always won you the game..now I'm playing 2K basketball in Pro Am not actual basketball.

As a big man this sounds terrible. Ugh...

I will still play the park with my brothers since I find that fun. As for h2h games...naw I'm staying away from that like the plague. It would just piss me off...come to think of it if I played mostly online games I would've been banned a long time ago from OS due to me complaining lol

I havent played the game in maybe 6-8 weeks simply because it was infuriating as someone who never plays online. Having downloaded this latest patch I must say the game is at the best state it has ever been. I actually had fun with it again today. For all those guys who are so "sim" that they want the ball to go loose everytime it hits off a toe...I'm glad the devs didnt listen to you.

Downloading now. I hope it's good..

It's me or latest patches the game feels less physical?
Less contact, less blocks....I'm not saing is bad...I just feel it less physical...

I mean last two patches....

The game plays great so far.

I've seen it discussed a bit here. Corner threes are more efficient than midrange jumpers. Only a hand full of elite players consistently hit midis
