A recent roster update has significantly improved gameplay!

After much testing, the gameplay has been tweaked in many areas that needed adjustments as far as I can tell:

-Transition defense is much better

- players actually have hand-eye coordination, i.e more blocks

-defenders close out and chase off screens better

-help defense is much more aware of impending penetration

-sprinting animations, among others trigger quicker

-the spin when being defended closely does not create the huge gap it used to.



This is bitter sweet because the gameplay is fantastic, but the only way to take advantage of it is through using 2k's terrible roster....smh.

Yeah it's like they finally put in all the defense that was clearly missing from the game. Hopefully this is where they start to improve on for 14. The last roster updates improve the game by a lot. You can actually play some defense that resembles NBA basketball.

Maybe i'm really the only one that disagrees here, but 2K doesn't care enough, nor put enough effort into their roster update to make significant gameplay changes. The gameplay has always been fantastic this year, of course it has it's problems.. But there is no such thing as 'secret patches' with the things 2K takes credit for, you know they would brag and announce such an update. I don't know what the difference is when you guys are playing it now, but I can assure you it's gonna be based on how you're playing. Not the roster update.

Sorry man but you are wrong. Patches cost money and if you can tweak gameplay without a patch that is a smart design. 2k calls them "tuners" as in fine tuning the gameplay on their end you download the rosters if you are connected to the net. Just because 2k doesn't come in and take credit for the change in gameplay does not mean anything. You don't notice how blocking has changed dramatically. Everything on defense has been amped and if you can't see the difference we must not be playing the same game or you are not paying attention.

No. I honestly have seen no difference in any aspect that I cannot attribute to either sliders or my own gameplay. I understand why you would think that but I'm gonna have to respectfully disagree. Lol.
