Anyone Else Noticing A Major Difference Post-Patch/Update?

[Cavs2016]

I’m so sick of this cycle. Game plays great out of the box. And then the ****** twitter mafia forces an uproar that leads 2k to backtrack on their creation.

This was the best playing 2k probably ever. And then they ruined it overnight.

Game speed and stamina.... sigh....

Props to the devs for creating a great game out of the box. Your work is appreciated by the real basketball fans. You guys deserve a Grammy.

The more realistic pace was amazing for the 3 days it lasted. Brought strategy into the game.

Now it’s the same turbo fest button mashing arcade junk the twitter gang loves.

It must suck to make a masterpiece only for the higher ups to cave in to vocal pressures and tear it all down. Honestly don’t know how you can work for a crap company like 2k.

Have you played the game since the change?

I'm on Xbox so I haven't gotten the update. This is really disappointing news. I felt the same way you did, 2K20 was a masterpiece. I know Czar and OG and Mike felt that way too but the ****** demographic is the biggest and they're killing Sim Nation.

So you're saying turbo'ing around is back?

Plus game has no commentary but has the pre game show and David Aldridige reporting on the sideline WTF?

Would it be worth it to uninstall the game and then reinstall offline without any patches? You may have to do some editing and CAP's...do without court, uniform and ACE upgrades but at least you could salvage something out of what you spent???

I have not noticed a major difference to standard games. I have not ventured into MyPark to see the difference there.

I’ve played a few modes. It’s stretched into my career.

Pre-update my player has below average physical traits and no upgraded defensive badges. In practice and games it would SHOW. It was great. Being a bad defender punished you. You’d have to hide. Or if I played my angles and exerted energy I could be around average. But that was a sacrifice. It was perfect.

You had to pick your sprints in transition. Whether it be offense or defense. You were conscious of your stamina. Make the chasedown block effort? It’s gonna cost you on the offensive end. Sprint in transition? That’s gonna pay a toll.

The offensive pace was perfect pre-update. Now everything is way too fast. The rhythmic, strategic pace is gone.

Now my player has extreme lateral quickness even tho I don’t skill wise. Now I’m clamping Fox and Curry even tho I was getting torched by Caruso in practice last night. Now I don’t even get a Gatorade symbol. Now I don’t even have to choose my spots for turbo. The entire game is turbo now. There’s no change of pace due to fatigue. Or choosing spots. Players aren’t jogging back and forth in transition like in real life. Everything is 100% speed. It changes the game. It changes the flow.

It’s a big game changer. I will adjust but it’s so frustrating. It was so perfect and beautiful before hand
