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.).

Hilariously unacceptable. Whoevers idea this was needs to be fired.
Yeah I just tried to play as well (early Saturday morning) and each time I tried to load my Custom Roster on Quick Game I got that error on the PS4. Then I restarted the game and tried to do My GM using my Custom Rosters and it let me load them but for some reason my rosters were loading as the default 2K rosters. Then I tried it again and went to Edit Roster and selected my own and what do you know......everything in my roster was the default 2K rosters all of a sudden so it's looking like all the hard work I put into creating my own custom rosters is down the drain.

Do a fantasy draft in GM. It works and is more fun

Updates are automatic . But servers have been down all day for me
 
# 606 Gagnon39 @ 12/29/13 12:50 AM
I'm sure this has been asked multiple times but I don't really know how to search it...

Do we have to restart our myCareer for the injury fix to take place?
 
# 607 mars123 @ 12/29/13 03:23 AM

People are far more likely to talk to other potential consumers about the bad things than they are the good things.

They may already have our money, but people can still cost them many, many more potential sales by telling all of their friends, family, strangers on the street, etc. not to buy the game themselves.

There's also the factor of future 2k games they might have bought but now won't. Not to mention any potential vc sales.

And worst of all you can't even save a roster to your hard drive…A DAMN ROSTER. A feature that was PROMISED to be in the last patch and wasn't.

2K, where are you?

Signed a last time customer.
Yet you ignore the next gen gameplay that for me, is the best playing sports game on earth...
 
# 610 barkers23 @ 12/29/13 04:36 PM
is there a work around for not being able to edit the contract offers to players in mygm mode?

pretty much unplayable if not...

Just noticed I can select the CPU team and change their jersey in my gm. Did patch 3 add this?

Anyone else lose all their off court gear? It's still in my closet I just can't equip it.

I hope it does work this way. For some reason I don't believe that a publisher will actually realize they made a real mistake (e.a. when it's actually costing them lots of money.)I can't believe all of the great reviews for example on amazon.com.I wish more people would point out, that there is a line to draw here. You just can't release a piece of software with THIS many major bugs. Customers should not give in to this.Personally I don't even find the graphics especially great. Players look like some kind of wax figures to me. Some faces look like they were victims of some horrific fire... (e.g. Al-Farouq Aminu).

I was wondering if someone can chime in on this topic:
Meanwhile I've started 4 different MyGM-Files, all of them with the Lakers.In all of them, a scout has never approached me asking me who to scout from the prospect list.

Can anyone confirm this behaviour?
Does it only happen with the Lakers?

In all four i'm at least 8 - 10 games into the season and the scout position (staff) is filled from the start of the season. With the first file i'm already at the all-star break and i'm still not able to scout someone...(Irrelevant for that file though, cause it crashes every time during the all-star break anyway...)

Scouting happens maybe 15 games in. It will happen.

Ok, thanks. Others said it happened after 5 or so games for them.
That's why i was wondering. Again, in my first file it didn't happen yet, and i'm already at the all-star-break. But maybe that was fixed in patch 3 and it will happen in the files i started after that came out. I will post about it.

The game plays brilliantly for me (when it works). Ive got my sliders tuned so stats and gameplay feel really good.

Major issues are with the CPU. Im holding them to an avg of 40-45 PIP, but this increase when I play small line-ups, as it should. They hit a decent amount of 3s, avg about 8 per game I'd say. % would be a little high. I give up between 15-25 FTs per game.

I was about to gripe about the lack of CPU mid-range jumpers, but looking at the above, I realise that it's all probably spot on. I am seeing more mid-range pull ups since the patch. Kobe took 24 shots against me, nearly all of mid rangers and post-ups at the elbow.

Ill be keen to see how Aldridge/Dirk/Boozer play. 2K's CPU rarely use their big men right.
