NBA 2K14 News Post


2K Sports submitted title update #3 last week for Xbox One and PS4. It's available now for both consoles. Once the patch notes have been revealed later today, we'll post them here.

Based off of early feedback, you can't save rosters to the hard drive and there are still people crashing in MyCareer mode. Da_Czar mentioned offline playbooks are fixed. Let us know what you are seeing.

UPDATE: Patch notes have arrived.

GENERAL
  • Fixed an issue in The Park where matches were not starting appropriately, in addition to a large number of optimizations for this experience.
  • Addressed a number of issues that were known to cause disconnects during head-to-head and Team-Up gameplay.
  • Corrected an issue where an assigned dunk package would sometimes not be used in The Park.
  • Fixed a number of issues that should result in a much more stable experience for users playing in Leagues.
  • Addressed an issue where the user would encounter a lengthy blank black screen during the initial launch sequence in certain conditions.
  • Fixed a bug where user Settings weren’t properly saving in specific situations.
  • Fixed a case where the user would experience a loss of controller functionality despite having a controller turned on (XB1).
  • Fixed a case where the user would enter into an unresponsive state after a second user signed in and then subsequently signed out (XB1).
  • Fixed an issue where the title did not send game invites to all Xbox Party members when a user enters a joinable online matchmaking session (XB1).
  • The title will now receive game invites if the user is already in an Xbox Party with the host (XB1).
  • Addressed an issue where blocked users were allowed to enter matchmaking with each other (XB1).
  • Fixed an issue where the title would shut down when resuming from low-power standby (XB1).
GAMEPLAY
  • Slightly reduced the shot % penalty on fouls in order to create more appropriate ‘and-1’ situations.
  • Tuned shooting percentages such that they fall more in line with our expected results.
  • Addressed an issue where teams would call timeouts back-to-back in certain situations.
  • Fixed an issue where the camera would sometimes stay on the scorer after a made shoot, often resulting in a 5-second inbound violation.
  • Passes are now more accurate along the sideline, on fast breaks, and when passed to receivers who are in the middle of coming to a stop.
  • Shortened the distance receivers are led down court (when passing) during regular transition (non-fast break) offense.
  • Fixed an issue where the rebound button would sometimes be ignored when engaged in a boxout.
  • Made several improvements to the dribbling model in order to smooth out ball movement.
  • Adjusted physics calculations on in-air collisions to make defenders ‘stronger’.
  • Tuned shot blocking logic such that defenders are more aware of attempting blocks when the ball is still rising, and less likely to target the ball on its way down (when goaltending will be called).
  • Tuned down the likelihood that poorly rated blockers will get their blocking hand in perfect position in front of the ball.
  • Players who successfully block a shot are now more aware and will have a greater chance of recovering the loose ball if it falls nears them.
  • Fixed an issue where players who shouldn’t be physically able to body-up in ride collisions were able to do so at a higher than expected frequency.
  • Tuned the body-up system in order to reduce the amount of clipping present in this sequence.
  • Made several improvements to fix overextension of player elbows during steal/rebound opportunities in order to reduce arm pops, and to improve hand/ball interaction.
  • Addressed a very rare case where a defender would snap up from the ground right after getting knocked down.
  • Pump Fakes have been tuned to correct an issue where some players would twitch when performing the fake.
  • Addressed a rare issue where the game would potentially hang after a player fouled out during a Team-Up game.
  • A new and improved ‘Beluba’ camera is now available for your use.
  • Corrected a commentary issue where the commentators would discuss (and often praise) a player for a given statistic when the sample size of the stat does not merit the discussion.
  • A number of other smaller changes have been made to address issues as well as enhance the user experience.
MyCAREER
  • Fixed a hang that was known to occur when loading save files where a purchased accessory had been equipped.
  • Fixed an issue where users would get stuck in the Shooting Drill when they had previous changed their Shooting Type to Real Player %.
  • The in-performance VC earnings overlay will now match what is actually given to the user upon returning to the travel scene between games.
  • Addressed an issue where player names were occasionally not showing up correctly when dynamic goals were handed out.
  • Corrected an issue where the title would not resume following a timeout called shortly after halftime.
  • Fixed a hang that could occur when the game would try to simulate ahead in scrimmages.
  • Fixed an issue where games would be unintentionally simulated when viewing the NBA.com headline about clinching a playoff spot.
  • Corrected a rare issue where the user would be unable to progress past the All-Star break after playing many seasons.
  • Corrected a rare issue where users would not get the VC reward for accomplishing a milestone.
  • Users will no longer get drafted 30th overall after turning in an impressive performance in the Rookie Showcase.
  • Additional ‘fake’ rookies (some quite good) will no longer be generated after the NBA Draft at the outset of the mode.
  • Identified a rare case where the game could hang in the dunk contest at all-star weekend if the user left the controller unattended for a period of time (this fix applies for MyGM all-star dunk contest as well).
  • Addressed discrepancies between dynamic goals and follow-up press conferences, headlines, and social media messages.
  • Fixed an issue where the reporter would reference a stat incorrectly when asking the user a press conference question after a played game.
  • Tuned AI behaviors such that teammates that are unhappy with your MyPLAYER will now show it more often after the whistle.
  • Corrected a very rare issue where a user’s attributes would be lowered to 25 in all categories.
  • Players will now retire completely in later seasons at an appropriate age (rather than sitting in free agency).
  • A number of smaller issues (e.g. social media message cleanup) in addition to further mode tuning have been performed in this patch to enhance user satisfaction.
MyGM
  • Corrected an issue where some users would hang when attempting to start the mode with an edited roster.
  • Addressed a bug where players would ask for contracts in the MLE pricing range when they clearly deserve contracts of much greater worth.
  • Corrected an issue where certain injuries were not properly healing in the expected amount of time.
  • Addressed a display error on the Team Finances pricing graphs where it would display the user’s team as earning $0 in specific situations.
  • Fixed a number of issues pertaining to the hiring and firing of head coaches and assistant coaches. This should now be more reliable.
  • Corrected and optimized a number of owner goals to ensure they always fire at appropriate times (e.g. staff hiring goals will now always respect the available budget) and that they don’t conflict one another.
  • Staff goals will now fire in the offseason even when the user has opted to simulate past the Staff Signing period.
  • There will now always be a minimum level staff member available to sign when the user’s team does not have the budgetary funds available for a higher level staff member.
  • Addressed an issue where players that retired to become coaches would get their name randomized.
  • Corrected a rare hang that would occur when the user’s team suffered an in-game injury where the user later performed an in-game save to resume the game at a later time.
  • When asking the CPU to rebuild lineups, the player roles set by the user will now be respected in most situations.
  • Tuned player morale/player roles logic to be slightly more forgiving.
  • Tuned the height ranges for generational players to be more in-line with our original intentions.
  • A number of other smaller corrections and tunings have taken place to enhance user satisfaction.
NOTE: All patch fixes are intended to work in your existing game mode saves (MyCAREER, MyGM, etc.).

no need to be disappointed, this patch solved NONE of my glaring issues with MyGM. So from my point of view, they didn't put in much of an effort.the kind of bugs i am getting should never be in a release version of any kind of software. not being able to fix these with the third patch is just utterly unbelievable.So, let's just all not feel valued at all ...

There will have to be a 4th patch now I would assume. As of now you cannot advance rounds in playoffs, so you are essentially stuck in your mygm. They also need to fix the issue with changing salary, years and options on contract negotiations.

I'm confused as to how to see if I have the patch and if I don't how to download it. Getting frustrated because my MyCareer file is still glitched.
best thing to check isn the ps4 dashboard go to the game but not start it (pressing "x"). press the small "option"-button on top right. from the menu on the right chose "information". for me it says version: 1.03 since patch number 3.if it still says 1.02 you don't have the newest patch - at least not installed yet.

I don't think 2k was prepared for the problems that come with all these amazing features and modes. They should've put these things in gradually down the line when they were fully prepared
but i still thought they had learned from what happened when the MyPlayer Mode was new a few years back. When they had that game mode out first it was full of bugs and glitches. Less so than the new MyGM, but still a lot.I really hope they would learn from such experiences. (Like maybe, test the stuff, maybe only once before release ...)

I can't believe this. I HOPE I JUST HOPE this patch fixes it for PS4. I can't believe 2K, honestly. What a bunch of unskilled mother****ers. They should freaking fire everyone once and for all, get a nice Q&A team and get rid of everyone involved in this process because IT IS JUST NOT WORKING RIGHT they way it currently is.

They are not suited for the task, plain and simple. They cannot develop a game with this kind of bugs, it just cannot happen. Not only that, but it's been a month and they haven't fixed it yet. It's outrageous.
Hmm. You think there is actually a Q&A-unit within 2K?From judging this game i would never have thought of this...
 
# 527 taterskin @ 12/23/13 08:32 AM
My created player can't dunk post patch..... before the last patch I was tearing the basketball goal down with posterizing dunks.... now my player just does layups. Not sure if anyone else has this prob....as I've not seen.
 
# 528 Brooke2011 @ 12/23/13 08:55 AM
If they don't have the uniform update by Christmas morning, what's the point. I'd like to play with the Christmas uniforms on Christmas . Also..... I have been playing offline not connected to the Internet for obvious reasons. I've had no problems with the game. My question is , can I get the uniform updates without getting the latest patch? I like how the game is playing with my sliders.

Now they need to un-break Contract Negotiations and we are ready to go.
no, we're not. there is loads more issues. see my post from yesterday.there is
1. can't scout new draft prospects (scout never contacted me)
2. player trading mechanics is broken (can't add players to an offer)
3. can't hire assistant coach. (if i do so it will replace head coach(!) and leave assistand coach position empty)
4. game crashes at the all star break -> goes to ps4 dashboard

these are only some issues i had within the first 2-3 days of playing. they still persist after patch 3.

i'm back to playing nba2k14 on ps3...
 
# 530 StormsWarning @ 12/23/13 09:39 AM
cant believe the reports i'm reading, i refuse to play it until they patch it correctly, i'm sure they will in time, everything is still new, in the mean time i have went back to the pc version, yeah its not next gen, but it didn't have all these issues either. the pc community is doing great things for that game.
 
# 531 Gwizzle27 @ 12/23/13 09:49 AM
Any word as to when the contract negotiations bug will be fixed?? Hopefully we don't have to wait another month+. Smh.

Did you know there is a workaround for this currently?


I can tell you how to do it:

1) In the contract negotiation - propose the lower amount that comes up by default (or really low ball to make sure the player comes back with a reply)
2) The player will respond saying we can do better, etc.
3) BEFORE you hit the X button [PS4] to bring up the screen again to adjust the numbers - press and HOLD the down button on the D Pad. WHILE HOLDING THE D PAD DOWN - press the X button
4) You will now be have access to the list of items you couldn't get to before. It's starts at the bottom and you can edit each category working your way up. PLEASE NOTE - you can't move back down once you move up to the next category - so make sure you know what you wan to propose before you start editing.

I hope that helps.

.
Just so you know - The user does NOT initiate the scouting process (like in current gen). After the first 15 or so games - your scout will come to you asking you who you want to scout. At that point - you can select specific players or positions, etc. He will then come back to you after each scouting report is done throughout the season.

This is still occurring (PS4)

Addressed an issue where teams would call timeouts back-to-back in certain situations.

Don't know exactly what they mean by this but I do have instances where I call a timeout and the opposing, CPU team, calls a time immediately following mine.
Yea, not a real big deal. But, I still have the issue where the CPU takes a timeout right after I do or vice versa. Like I said not a big deal but it still happens it wasn't fixed.

Yep, Chris Paul and KD have been the most noticeable so far...loving the pull up J's

Check and see if you have your dunk packages assigned properly. Otherwise assign them again. It's not the patch itself.

Thanks for the info.... I'll try to reassign when I get home, as I've already verified that they are assigned. It just started doing this.....Has not been an issue in my previous three seasons. Can't even get player to dunk on a steal/breakaway play.

Nice job 2K, you're the new EA.
Wait, wait, I wouldn't go that far bro! Some of us, me included, are having quite a bit of FUN with the game...I don't play MyGM OR MyPlayer so I don't see those issues anyway. As far as the game play and the game overall I am very pleased. The patches I am grateful for as well. I appreciate the fact that 2k does listen to our feedback. Not even close to EA status if you ask me, which you didn't I know. Just go play NBA Live and get back to me...I'll wait.

Crazy how some are having probs....some aren't. I'm in my 4th my career season and am still having great fun. I have not seen any of the freezing issues or other things reported. The only thing I have seen is the injury bug....where players would not return. That was fixed in the last patch.
