By this logic 75 vs 85 ball handling ratings makes less difference than 85 vs 86 . Don't recall if its exactly 86 since i never focused on doing it, but you get the point. You gotta realize that unrealistic speed boost animations and too high difficulty to break slow/bad defender are separate issues. One is now fixed.

I should've been clearer in regards to nerfing player speed off dribble moves - quick guards will surely have taken a step back in terms of explosiveness now because of this patch?

I wasn't insinuating that this speedboost nonsense was sim, more so the other moves I mentioned that had been dumbed down in patches. (SPin layin, passfake drive etc)

This is all assumption on my part, as I only play offline anyhow and didn't even know about this speedboost thing until yesterday.

As I said though, the problem isn't the exploits, it's the players. Sim ballers wouldn't use that kind of garbage, but cheesers do, and online, for the most part, is a cheesers paradise, it's the nature of the beast.

Alright, I finally got some games in with the patch. I do not play online. I am an offline only player, and if you call yourself of basketball, and you want that represented in a video game, you should have NO complaints about this patch.

I cannot BELIEVE some of the comments I'm seeing in here. This is what the community has turned too? Yall are really mad at them for making the game more realistic. That's crazy as hell for real, cause isn't this what the nba 2k franchise was built on, realism? Man, lemme address the bull I'm seeing in this thread.

Dudes talking about the game is too slow now? I feel like the game now has "weight" to it. Players aren't just zig zagging and twitching all over the court now. Play seems organized, with a purpose instead of 10 guys just huddling around in a crowd on the court. I can see plays develop, players moving to a spot, actual basketball being played and dudes are mad about this? There is a noticeable speed difference between PLAYERS now for sure. I can tell who's fast and who's not, and I can really get to the rim with those fast guys, and yall are mad about this? Come on ..

As far as a faster playing blowing by a defender, either yall aren't using the players with this skill, or you haven't the stick skills to pull this off. I was crossing fools up with Durant, spinning around them effortlessly to the rack. A quick hesitation move and blow by with Westbrook and I was slamming it at will. Are yall trying to just cross over and blow by with every player you control? Do you even run plays? Sometimes just running a play is the best way to get a guy open. I feel like this should be common knowledge but based on some of these posts, we live in an ISO only world. Crazy.

Shooting has also been tuned for the better. Before this patch, it seemed like me and the cpu were not missing anything. I'm talking 70% from 3 not missing anything. The game was pure arcade trash before this patch and that's putting it lightly.

I can now see operation Sports is close to being all online for this game. We don't even talk about the game anymore, it's nothing but complaints with no real conclusion or help.

This patch has actually made me enjoy this game again. I'm sure little warts and things will pop up, but after getting in a few games with it, some of the comments in here are blowing my mind. I feel like 24 and a few other cats are in here defending this game and we're far outnumbered. Is the sim crowd really this low now? It's a shame.

I play on superstar simulation, 12 minutes with 2K rosters. Game plays great for me now. As an advocate for the offline gamer, I fully support this patch.

The whole "speed boosting" isn't the real problem.

NBA players move fast and quick like that. Heck, even faster. Anybody who watches games would know this.

The problem is 2K needs to fix man defense. This is just a quick fix to cover up the bad D.

This. The sim community is much smaller than the Cheese community ESPECIALLY in MyPark. Year in and year out there's cheese in 2K. It was last year, this year, and I guarantee you there will be cheese next year. It's a never ending cycle. I wish people would stop crying and just make the right adjustments and play the game. Both sides are complaining like crazy right now smh. Its ridiculous.

Haven't updated yet, getting bored of 2K16.


Did they update any player faces or coaches? I only play offline btw.

[Rockie_Fresh88]

I still see play now online players comparing their gameplay to park players and vice versa . Different game modes . Different strategies .

I feel you.... Love the patch. It has balanced the game, period. It has showed all these #GlitchMade 2k "Gawd's" that they are trash; and brought the team and basketball strategy back... The sim crowd isn't that low, it's that the cheeseball community is so large and they came on strong to Operation Sports during last years game...
