I played about 400 online ranked games and I have no idea what is "zig-zag" 3 pt exploits? LOL. Whatever it is...i never done it. I shoot when i am open and that's it.

Ok now I'm pissed. Was loving the update until I found out you can no longer use custom rosters for blacktop mode. The old method of loading the roster in quick game mode then backing out doesn't work anymore, ever since the update.

I'm sorry, but I love playing blacktop mode.. And if I can't play with custom shoes and signature shots, then the mode is worthless.

Steve, is there any way you can ask 2K about this? Blacktop mode uses default rosters only, after the update.

Thanks

Sounds like some nice improvements especially for the defense. I haven't tested the patch yet since I'm on xbox1.

Can anyone please tell me if they see any difference at all online in team-up or in VS matches to the sluggishness/delayed player movements on the court? Do you feel like you have more control now over your movements or is it very similar to how it was before the patch?

Also what about the in game substitution screen while your playing does it show the stamina bars for players now? or do you still have to call timeouts to see that. I don't understand how something so basic as seeing your stamina in game was left out of current gen, especially since they have it in 2k15 on old gen.

Yet they still havent noticed that coaches in myleague don't improve at all even if they have A+ potential...

Was flagrant foul added in this patch? Just saw my first flagrant today in an online game.

No it was in the game already, but there seems to be more instances it being called now.

So glad that Leftos was able to get a fix for the MyLeague rotation issue that I brought up to him back in October, even if I myself wasn't able to show him how to produce it.

Good job, fellas.
 
# 311 ramspeedkill @ 12/08/14 08:19 PM
anyone know if this was updated?
 
# 312 tha_show256 @ 12/08/14 08:25 PM
Such a great patch! I can't recall the last time 2k put out a patch that fixed so much! Kudos to the 2k team!!

Looks like the ref taking 30 seconds to hold the ball before letting it be inbounded is gone...

Yeah I want t know when the new jerseys show up....

Anyway...I love that the bigs will actually dunk while under the rim rather than that bull**** animation where the defender triggers that animation when behind you.

Pacing seems good so far..

A lot less sliding on defense and hands up defense is more responsive...

It's the easiest insult when something people want addressed isn't fixed. "WOW 2k is lazy they still haven't fixed THIS." Yeah that's right, regardless of the hundred other improvements and adjustments 2k is lazy because certain things weren't addressed. I think people assume fixing something that's broke is as easy as changing a light bulb.

My response is always: Don't you think 2k, or any other gaming company, would prefer to release a game with absolutely no bugs, glitches, issues,or complaints. Let's not pretend that the issues are their because of laziness or lack of trying. I can't imagine any company in the world willingly and happily releases imperfect products. Sometimes issues happen and a lot of the time they aren't simple fixes. In the case of videogames patches cannot fix every issue or complaint.

So far lag is terrible. And the fastbreak is non-existent. What happened to fast break?? I used to be able to fast break and now i can't do a single of them.

Anyways, about to play a game.


Kudos to 2K for patching all this stuff tho.

When I saw they added Larry Sanders goggles, you were the first person I thought of...lol. Then I saw the goggles and thought the same thing you said...lol.

1 huge bug not in the patch notes to be fixed:

The long pause during inbounding situations where the ref won't give the player the ball until the commentary finishes their story
