NBA 2K14 Patch #5 Coming in 10 to 14 Days - Updates to MyTEAM, Shoes & Much More

01:06 PM - April 29, 2014 by Steve_OS

Ronnie and LD2K mentioned last week, during their NBA 2K14 livestream, patch #5 for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 was close to being submitted to Microsoft and Sony.

Today they revealed the patch has been submitted and we should see it arrive in 10 to 14 days, possibly even sooner.

The patch will address some MyTEAM issues, update shoes and much more (that's all I could get out of them). Patch notes will be released when the patch goes live.

I disagree

I don't believe anyone wishes the fact that there is no chance for free agency in mycareer as an issue that would stay the same.

I'd say there are still 'big issues'....maybe not in any of the modes you play, but there are still some.

This update is supposed to be adding shoes, correct? Is this the first new shoe addition to XBOX One or have I just not gotten any new shoe updates somehow? Still have all of the same shoes since the release, only update I received was when they added the Adidas Crazy 1's for a couple of days and then took them off because the image on the shoe base was twisted around like the Jordan 2012 is.

You don't know at that point, whenever the shop calls you and tells you it's ready.

Umm no, that's not what's it's like. To put it more accurately, it's like a car shop telling you they'll be done with a routine installation in 3-4 days and 5 days later they havent called to tell you they've been waiting on a part since the 2nd day. Then saying, "When we know something, we'll tell you" which is essentially "dont ask me, I'll come tell you" THAT'S what it's like. You have twitter accounts for a reason, and while you're tweeting about MyTeam for hours a day, tell me why the patch that YOU said would come within 10-14 days hasnt arrived in 16. It's not a big deal, but again, the tightness of the lips regarding ANY info that isnt MyTeam is annoying.

The public relations department for this franchise is just jaw droppingly bad.

No one expected a 5th patch. If it drops one day unexpectedly and they throw in a few shoes, maybe fix a bug or two, and the boys at 2K are heroes for a day.

But that's not the 2K way. Instead they give a vague announcement on delivering a patch who's release they apparently have no control over. This leads to completely unrealistic expectations, speculation, and then anger when they miss the deadline they put out.

Rinse and repeat.

Except that's not what happened. People started getting antsy and asking about the patch well before the 14th day which was yesterday mind you. I don't even know why I'm explaining this lol.

1. That's EXACTLY what happened, just because you found a comment of some random guy (talking about nothing) changes nothing.
2. You cant use other folks comments in place of what I'm saying try make that my stance, then try to play semantics in regards to 14th or 15th day. You hold the position of such a weak stance that traffics on establishing arguments on inconsequential details that are holy irrelevant.

BOTTOMLINE; They should keep people more informed. Period. The hangup that Ronnie said today didnt just happen in the last 24 hours, it's been known and ppl have been asking once we got past the 10th day, AGAIN a timeline THEY gave. Why are we just finding out about it a day AFTER the given timeline? Dont give me a timeline, then when you're past it, dont have some answers ready. Or you know... do what you've done all year practically and be tight lipped on info and act as if nobody is asking you while flooding your twitter with Diamond whoever.

If you think that's fine, cool, I dont and Im aloud to think that. And btw, the comment you inserted didnt ask about the patch, it didnt even question about the deadlines they gave. It's not at all germane to our discussion.

My stance is very clear. Im typing in very clear American English. You seem not to understand, and you're beginning to bug me lol. Im done here.

An update saying that it's not out yet. I don't think we needed anyone to tell us that.

It would be nice if they would release the notes on what it actually being addressed in the patch. If something has to be changed later on then they can tell us when they find out. But I would like to know if I should put the game on hold and wait, or if I should not bother since none of my issues will be addressed anyway.

I have been hopped to what the patch will do.... Wait for it.....
Free Agency but watered down (pick from 5 teams)
Night lights at the park
Sneakers
Slider adjustments
Loosers Outs on 2 v 2
Backed further on the initial start of possession (park)
ALL ATTIRE wearable at the park (sleeves)
Audio issues
Gameplay Enhancements < MyTeam Bug Fix
Custom Clothing Available For Blacktop Mode

It is what it is.

Hard to believe what he said has any legitimacy..

# 111 ShogunTake @ 05/15/14 07:58 PM

Another day and nothing? Why tell is a patch is coming in 10 to 14 days when it clearly didn't? I don't care if I'm too anxious but as a professional game developer it'd be real nice if they actually kept us updated as to why things didn't happen the way they said they were..

# 112 ZephyrSong @ 05/15/14 09:41 PM

Like what was tweeted, it's out of 2K's hands. Best we can do is wait.

I swear, the things said here are downright funny. Been a member of this board when I was 15 and fast forward 10 plus years after, I'm reading the same things!

"Live will have my money next year"

"This is unacceptable for us, consumers"

... and then NBA 2K is STILL the best selling game and will continue to do so because no other basketball video game can match what they have done in the past decade.

I've been on these boards just as long and yes, the same song with one difference...VCs.

2K is on the hook. When you ask people spend money, you support or loose your customers. If 2k left the pay-2-play model alone, I would not care... as much.
Do they expect people to reset the VCs next year? What if Sony or Microsoft discarded their virtual currency when a new console was released. Oh wait Microsoft converted to cash.

2k must support what they have released. I don't even know what that means. Maybe this is a bad thing... We will see..

I haven't had to buy any VCs. I play all offline vs the CPU so while it might be some its not all of us.

I also don't support that model. I think them catering to all of this online stuff has turned this game into something it shouldn't be

Patch 5 still not released?

AMEN!!!! I've started wondering if they made a game that was entirely focused on today's nba (year to year to be more specific b/c of the release cycle) if they'd sell as many copies and whether or not the features /gameplay would be better..... I can't help but think that branching out into euro league, my player/my team, historic teams, VC and anything else that arrives in future editions makes the core game worse.. If the ENTIRE focus was on franchise mode would the game be better? Oh and it's day 18 since this thread was started and no patch release, please next time just start the thread the day a patch will be released lol

That makes no sense. How would having less options and only focusing on "franchise" mode make the game better?

I actually chose to buy the VCs, maybe 5 bucks. I felt the game the revs deserved a tip. That was the first week after launch. I quickly changed my tune when bugs that were fixed in the current gen version made there way into the next gen. I saw auto subbing, game settings, little things. I was still on the honeymoon but the game ran out of makeup.

Now I just want them to honor the commitment to this game model, and provide content which is worthy of the extra dollars.

Xbox live is free and paid. They have provided updates every month since the one came out. To everyone, paid or not.

Apple updates phones year after year. They understand when people are asked to invest in an ecosystem, they should receive something in return.

2k did not and does not have to continue pay-2-play. They could go back to how it was. My point is strictly on the power of what they are currently doing and not doing.

I believe what he was trying to convey was that these extra little knick knacks are distractions to keep your mind off of what's REALLY going on. I also believe he means they should FOCUS on gameplay and bugs instead of saying "hey look guys we are putting more Euroleague teams in the game for you to IGNORE again". Think of MyTeam and Euroleague as a Jedi Mind Trick.

Remember 7 years ago when there was supposed to be signature defense? What happened? You cant even move on defense hardly NOW. There will be a Titanium Brian Scalabrine card for The Precious MyTeam before we get signature defense for players.

2GTFOH if the patch does nothing to fix this game!

2K's PR people are just terrible. Giving false info about most of their product/release dates
