NBA 2K17 Patch 1.06 Available Now For PS4 & Xbox One, Patch Notes Included

[GSW]

Impressions:

Last night around 8:30 i downloaded the patch. I jumped in a 12 minute game on HOF TWolves (me) vs Nuggets. I had pretty low expectations because since the first patch or so i felt like my players were running in mud, everything took so long to develop the game didn't *feel* smooth and i felt like I was always fighting with the game to do the things i wanted to do.

Well, that feeling is gone now the smoothness of 2k is back. I finally felt in control and not a slave to animations and sluggishness of controls. Fast Breaks finally feel alive and apparently this is without the ACE updates so i can only imagine how much better they will feel.

On defense i feel like its more read react as the computer doesn't take ahour to get into a set...although i do think this can be improved even more.

All in all i like the patch. I didn't play mycareer and i probably wont I'm not sure. But i actually feel like playing 2k now and i'm happy the "fun" feeling has returned.

These are my opinions they aren't to be taken as fact and i didn't spend much time taking the game apart as many of you do. I play video games for fun not to be upset.

I played an online game this morning and shooting was horrible. I played pacers versus Jazz, I was the Pacers. I lost by 7 to someone who got away with playing horrible defense; leaving guys wide open. I was 5-27 from 3. I know the Pacers don't have great shooters but they are still NBA players and guys missing wide open shots consistently is annoying. C.J. Miles, Teage, Paul George, and Ellis miss so many open 3s I didn't want to shoot anymore open shots anymore when the game got close. I started forcing contested layups since I didn't have any condfidence in the shooting. To me it just feels different from yesterday.

Maybe it's Me but the game just feels to sluggish, to many silly animations. Guys can't catch and shoot when wide open. They do this stupid animation where they have to catch and control the ball for 3 seconds. This gives the defense time to recover. They also do it when u on a break and pass to your ball handler, sometimes he animates like he is gaining control, thus disrupting your fast break. This game is beyond unrealistic.

I wish the devs understood that guys don't have to be steph or klay to hit a open 3. It's like now u have to be a great 3 point shooter. Average 3 point shooters are now bad 3 pt. Shooters now.

I'm not going to knock you, because I posted a picture in the PNO thread a couple of days ago with the same horrible shooting from the Pacers. It's feels good to me of late, and I just chalked that one game as a bad outing.

I can only speak for MyCareer but nothing has changed. It feels basically the same. (except shooting which feels off now) One thing that was there before and is still there after the patch: you always get slowed down when the opponent CPU makes a critical pass or goes for layup/dunk. I have this recorded actually but forgot to upload it. I was running way behind with the CPU making a fast break and when he goes for the dunk I actually turned around while continued to run in the same direction. None of my inputs changed. The CPU's action had influence on my player even though I was in the other half court with no one near me. I always had the feeling that sometimes something literally pulls you away or makes you sluggish intentionally. This is exactly what is happening.

I'll upload the video later.

I wish we could start simulation from any of the things we happen to be on.. I would leave it on game log or maybe the box score section.. Instead having to move back over to where it says continue simulation..... Ido overall like 2ks layout and how much more they have to scroll through and how you can download player training setups and all that.. Much better layout and more to look at the on Madden... I wish Madden had the trade finder thing.. Haa

I agree I want to WATCH the players. Simcast live doesn't make sense to watch little circles instead of the players.

Have they fixed the issue with players randomly sliding about 5 feet into position when receiving inbound passes after a made basket? I can not stand this! It's a HUGE eyesore & immersion killer!

0:50 - Last video. This is just another example of how easy it is to steal the ball while playing your own defense. As a disclaimer, the possibility of steal spammers might become a problem. However, this was just one game, and I could have been having a good defensive game against this particular.

Feel free to dissect the other videos. Also, I REALLY hope this thread doesn't become a crying fest over Sharpshooters, or what they didn't fix. I just want to read impressions about the patch to see what other people noticed.

Here is the video I was talking about earlier. This is MyCareer. See how I get turned around suddenly and walk backwards when the CPU starts his layup animation? I did not let go of the left stick and didn't hit any buttons. This happens whenever the CPU makes a critical pass or goes for dunks/layups or in general when his animations take a longer time. During this time you basically slow down or get pulled away. That is what makes it feel so sluggish. I don't know what is causing this but it is a major issue!
