Ankle breakers have already been toned down many times since last year. I'm surprised you haven't noticed. As much as I play the game I usually only see 1-2 ankle breakers per game.

Yes, defense is extremely bad in this game. This I completely agree with. The defense is a total joke.

People should be getting in a good 3-4 games before they come to any conclusions imo. I don't think 1 game is enough to see if anything has gotten better or worse.

I'm really afraid for this shooting 'tweak' tomorrow morning. I've got a feeling Shot Creators are gonna get the full 12" rod on this. We already struggle sometimes to hit consistently. This might be a deathblow...

If these things are actually fixed, it'll be a few things off my 2K gripe list. I'm looking forward to downloading the patch when I have time.

From a few games against the MT Historic Allstars on domination to test gameplay, it does seem like plays are forming quite a bit quicker due to reduced bumping, and fastbreaks feel a bit "cleaner" gaining separation from the defense without getting held back.

They're about the only real differences I've noticed so far.

I honestly can't tell any improvements in the 3 games I have played tonight and I haven't played this game in since the show came out. I do not play online so maybe that's where improvements are. But the brick wall is still there and the telepathic on ball defense is as prevalent as ever. I'll play a few more tonight and after update tomorrow but I'm very close to retiring this game. They ask for improvements after saying a patch is coming, but then the patch drops fairly quick after announcement. I don't get it.

I've only played a few pro am games but I haven't noticed any change in gameplay . I'm sure other modes are improved .
