I had no idea what speed boosting was and still dont understand it completely, but i can still get to the rim off the dribble. My iso and dribbling skills are not strong at all, so i can attest that post patch penetration is not difficult. The manual cuts are still as overpowered as ever. But, patch notes didnt mention this being addressed so i didnt expect differently.

Any patch that makes the game more realistic is a good thing. I give 2k a thumbs up for improving the game 8 months after release.

Just played a game against my cousin and he had beaten me a couple of times in the past turbo-ing the whole game and now with this patch, it rewarded me for playing terrific defense. I love it! He wasn't calling any plays at all, just iso-ing with Harden and he severely got punished. Proud of the patch.

Switch off ball to defend the manual cuts.

10 game win streak at the park last night with my crew. You cant help but laugh while watching players attempt to do the Kobe escape size up into a speed boost. I also noticed that my PF that has break starter was throwing quite a few passes out of bounds that I usually make (which is a good thing). All in all I really like the new patch. Will the real 2k hoopers please stand up!


PS. I can't wait to see how these qualified rttf teams have to change their game now because of this patch. Should be interesting.

10 game 🔥 with another small ball lineup in Sunset - 6'6, 6'1, 6'1

One of the 6'1 is an Outside SG who would defend the 3.. the other is a 6'1 Inside PG

We even beat a big lineup that consisted of two C's and a PG.. they were using a double screen strategy but both bigs seemed to be inside builds

All we really feel is the absense of Hardcore speed boosting.. much of everything still works the same.. the pick up dribble animation that is occurring however seems to have been implemented to encourage ball movement and less ball hogging because I'm experiencing this even without intense defense pressure and without spamming anything it almost seems random at most tines...

I can say that team ball is as necessary as it ever was with this new patch. I've been running with randoms in Old Town (I know, we're a wave of one) and we have been getting easy wins just off of good ball movement. I'm not entirely sure that the speed boost is completely gone as I've seen people use the fast hesitation and then explode move back and forth for open three's but its nothing good anticipation cannot fix.

Overall, I'm pleased. I noticed that the only people who really have been having problems are the selfish guys who like to play "super random hero ball" by themselves instead of moving the ball around for a high quality shot.

It's definitely based on a few things. Trying to force the issue was number 1 on the things I saw cause it. Yeah, team ball flat out bodies teams now. And honestly, we had a cpu the other day, and I called for alleys all day. No one can defend smart cuts. It's literally a basketball IQ wet dream.
