People don't like to pass as it is - some of these things atleast made them pass. Knowing 2k they try to fix something and make something worse. -------------- - Fixed an issue that would allow you to travel if rapidly chaining together certain rhythm dribble animations. Hopefully that means speedboosting is nerfed atleast - but i doubt it. If so then atleast we have something positive. -------- Very pissed that they didn't adress brick wall. Or atleast pick dodger. Pshh. The best we can hope is more positives than negatives come from this patch. I wonder if "Among the changes" means there is more they did their not telling us.

i really really hope ea sports push hard with nba live 18, 2k games have not improved this game since 2k12, i really tired of been playing a game with code errors, being myself a game developer i know how really easy is to fix buggy code and AI because most of the time is just a simple conditional being applied in the wrong place.

Too little too late for me with this patch. I played last night (I haven't played in 2 weeks). Played Cavs vs Hawks. Game felt good but I didn't fall for it. Game was different the 1st 3 quarters until the 4th. I wanted to play today to see if it wasn't placebo. It's back to the same old 2K today.

I'm done with 2K. Still not buying 2K18. I'm not playing this game again. MLB 17 will have my time all year until NBA Live 18. It's over for me. I can't take it anymore. 1 game that felt good in 3 quarters and now it's back to the way it was? Yes, it's not as bad as before but it's still ****. Thanks for the patch but it's too little too late and isn't much of a change. Don't fall for the placebo effect. Play more than one game.

Initial impression:

Played last night - Lakers (ME) vs Thunder (CPU)

Offensive dribbling - felt nice but I still don't like the auto-hesitation coming out of dribble moves. However, I did like that the defense was better at cutting me off then merely bumping into me (e.g. it felt like they would get to where I was planning to go before I got there as opposed to just knocking me out of position with their body). I'm not sure if its a placebo effect of the patch, but I felt like a change had been made there.

Running Plays and Off-Ball Movement- Players felt smarter on the offensive end with less bumping. I will say I felt like my bad defenders got punished. Every time, McDermott came off a screen Nick Young struggled to follow and I enjoyed that. However, Deng did a much better job getting over and around screens to contest shots. On the offensive end, I liked what I saw from my guards. Russell could get over and around screens but Russ was pretty much lock step with him. Even when he bounced off a screen Russ' foot speed would allow him to close gaps quickly. I liked that.

Transition - Trying to slow Russ and Thunder's offense down was a real challenge. I nearly gave up the game to Kanter and Adams, and was forced to change my defensive settings to "Limit Transition" to keep them in check, which through off my defense a bit. I liked it since I couldn't bump Russ off his transition effort. Again, very happy with this.

Thus far, I'm rather pleased.

I think these fixes are pretty solid. The game plays a great game of basketball, I'm having a blast even before the patch. Not really sure what people expect, nothing ever is going to be flawless. There is always going to be that group of people that are never satisfied no matter what.

Could be placebo, but I'm noticing a hell of a lot more steals in terms of tipped passes. I'm also getting a TON of steals from inbound passes.

In the 2 MyTeam games I played last night I had 10 and 12 steals. This is really interesting.

Had the same thing. But it was only one game for me.

Bumping is much improved.

On some of these bumps, my dude kinda bounces and that's it - no more crazy animations (or at least toned down).

Defensively, on my LDD I could play defense more free and even the people that are doing bad help D (getting in the way and not rotating) didn't mess up the flow of my movement like they used to.

The offense with my Point Forward is pretty damn good for the same reason now too, since I can move around screens or people without worrying that one bump is going to make my guy do some crazy stuff I wasn't trying to do.

All in all - solid adjustments from the people that made them. I just wish they would have fixed some of the minor game bugs that seemed easy enough to fix with a patch by now, but I guess those guys left for 2k18 months ago.

with the new roster file, a lot of stars have shooting and touches tendencies in the 40s. Westbrook has low 40s in both so do Curry and Durant. When I simmed a season a couple time, russ only average 16 ppg, curry only average 15.5 ppg, Kyle Lowry only averaged 12ppg. There are a lot more like this, Lesser players like Derrick Jones on Phoenix have shooting and touches tendencies of 100 or close to it.
