Just curious...what are you guys looking for in the roster update?

# 642 Philstat @ 11/03/14 04:37 PM

Since we can't edit our own rosters, would like to see that everyone is on their appropriate teams and that their stats are updated, injuries etc.

Accurate one's for starters. I shouldn't have to go adjust and make moves to reflect what is actually going on in real life.

Randle/Nash are still starters?? Nash hasn't played not 1 minute this season. Randle was injured in the 1st game. Unless I'm wrong I thought that was being handled by EA?
Again if I'm wrong I stand corrected and an apology from me is in order

Everyone that is freaking out about updates and such, it's been a week since its released. I'm sure EA will support this game just like they did with 14. Last year's game just had a patch in September and roster updates for the new NBA season. Just hold tight.

# 645 Moses Shuttlesworth @ 11/03/14 04:46 PM

The only thing preventing me from purchasing this is the lack of roster updates.

If they start getting frequent updates I'll buy it.

Sorry man, just don't agree - 2K has been updating and have been from day one, they've release several updates this past week alone. We have not heard a SINGLE word from EA, not a single word. They haven't even come on here to reference the issue with replays and half time shows, not a word.

# 647 The 24th Letter @ 11/03/14 05:07 PM

It took them a while to get started last year but they got better...

Thing is...THEY are saying the #liveallseason, 48 hours stuff...this isn't an expectation we set....they said that...so let's not start with the excuses please...we should expect nothing less than what they said...and hold them to that..

I've only received one patch for 2k since release. :/ They haven't fixed the crazy amount on CPU rebounds/putbacks, which was a major problem for me.

# 649 alexthegreat @ 11/03/14 05:12 PM

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person, online, that can't block anything lol.

I'll get my stuff pushed back multiple times when I'm going to hole or under the hoop, but when I try everyone goes through me like I'm a ghost.

I think they also need to tune the contact on shooting fouls.

What awful game....man why did you even purchase it LOL!

That game is the game that I finally had enough of NCAA basketball and got my 1st ever copy of College Hoops 2K8

I'm glad I did because it turned out to be the best Colleg B-Ball game I've ever played to this day.

Wait for it

Wait for it

Wait for it

Someone will say "Sliders ruin the game" I don't touch sliders

LOL!

# 653 Rockie_Fresh88 @ 11/03/14 05:37 PM

I can't use sliders online anyway so I don't believe it's a fix all solution

Not saying it isn't needed. Do more people play these games offline against cpu or online against another user ?

I'm not trying to defend EA..just trying to understand.

What players aren't on their proper team?

I know they haven't added/updated the UDFAs that made the final cuts but what other players are on the wrong team?

Understood.

Are you playing a Live Season? Because isn't that and Online the only places it would affect you?

EA dropped the ball because they should be pushing these things out and the opening day rosters should already be set.

Just was wondering if it's preventing you from doing something.

EDIT: I'm waiting for more Synergy updates and to see if they give us playbook and player edits before starting anything...FWIW.

It's not really stopping me, but I try to keep rosters as real to what's going on in the NBA. The only time it doesn't apply is if Kobe gets hurt and then it's ok for EA to leave him on the roster. Lol

Sports games in general are becoming so good now that you do have a lot of people who start up a franchise and solely play against the CPU soon as the opening day rosters release.

People do in it MLB The Show, FIFA, Madden, and NBA 2K every year. And when NCAA Football was still around, that game too. I personally stopped relying on online play 4 years ago. Give me some sliders and an editable roster and I'm good to go.

Online against other USERS simply mask CPU AI flaws.

While that's true I'm talking about outside this forum . From Twitter , Facebook , psn , and Xbox live it seems most people play online. So any issues I don't like the there's sliders argument . If shooting percentages are too high , or blocking is too low sliders aren't helping any online user .I'm willing to bet more people play the park and my team in 2k than mygm and myleague . Same thing with live ... As an online user telling me there's slider does nothing for me .

# 658 Rockie_Fresh88 @ 11/03/14 06:16 PM

There a problems an online user can have with the CPU . If the user is playing off ball defense then the CPU is guarding the ball handler. CPU can get rebounds and steals . Sliders help offline but online we have to rely on the devs to adjust issues anyway.

Ive invested in it, shoot, I've spent about $100 on the game last year factoring in money spent on ultimate team. so please forgive me if I sound like another 2k lover, I am NOT! I do stand by my feelings on the dribbling controls, if you have Xbox check my achievements, I have the learn live achievement. I've practiced and practiced and practiced. I've spent more time in the practice gym then on the court. I DO NOT LIKE the hold direction on the right stick to dribble idea. it feels like they're TRYING to be like 2k's ISO motion which tried to implement those controls After live initially had freestyle dribbling back in the 2000's. I'm not crazy. the responsiveness isn't all the way there. they seem delayed. its like you have to find a rhythm that's like a step slow (MUCH BETTER THAN LAST YEAR THOUGH!) but it could just be me. which is why I prefaced my comments with I honestly don't know how I feel about the game. the game has a different pace then last year which I have yet to really master, I sometimes finding myself pressing the shoot button then waiting for the animation to catch up. I'll try slowing down. it could be me and my opinion will evolve as the year continues. In live 10 the control I had was second to none. I literally could go to the hole knowing I'm gonna finish with my left hand, and I would finish with my left hand. I can't do that with live 15.

Actually it does have freestyle dribble..you don't have to hold the right stick.. try going in different directions left to right string together different

I think the bottom line is whether we all agree or not with sliders every other sports games out there right now that has online gameplay still included sliders for the those who don't play online.

That is why this decision IMO makes no sense...

We don't all play these sports games the same way and what one person may think is SIM STYLE Play another person may not feel that way.

If a guy likes to see the CPU shoot 60% from 3-PT range every game that is his preferance.....but why handicap those who may not like those high FG%?

It's like they are saying hey play the game our way or don't play the game at all because there is no other options available for you with this game.

I've seen guys come on here and post they are perfectly fine with the gameplay they just want to decrease the success of steals.....

Well guess what they don't have that option other than to not try and make any steals at all which is absurd IMO.
