Man, the tattoos and sweat are off the chain. I just hope they can redo K Love. The homeless look needs to go. He's a lot more clean cut in Cleveland.

damn i got a few invisible teams. but so far its only on the teams i used a custom cyberface for reinstalling the game and each update one by one

Just played a quick half this morning, the control over the players is the biggest thing I notice. Defense is so much more enjoyable. The stat overlays actually showing up are another huge plus. I'm looking forward to playing a lot this weekend.

So where is this file?? I can not find it.

It's in your appdata folder

My patch reactions:

This has been the first time I was able to take nba 2k off of 720p with all of the settings on low. I changed it to 768 with a few on med but stopped there for fear that the game couldn't handle anything else.

It seems fast breaks and defensive stance has been cleaned up.

Shot timing has been fixed, which means I now have to relearn my shot.

Other changes maybe there but playing the game, I am not aware of them.

The bad:

This game is fundamentally flawed in the way it handles players input. It seems as though whatever you press gets in the way. If you call for a double team, your teammates do not respond quickly and your traps are easily avoided on all parts of the court.

When you bring the ball up the court and the play is set to start with another player, the player walks up to his defender and between you and yours and waits for the ball instead of coming to it.

When you throw and oop...I'm sure you already know what happens.

The Cpu close outs are much more responsive then the users team.

The cpu gets pretty damn good when you are up by 15, sparked remarkable comebacks with unlikely people making impossible shots. You'll get double teamed with little chance of a clean escape or passing lane and when you do pass it, players will miss open shots. (mainly mycareer but not just mycareer)

And, by far, my biggest frustration with the 2k series since 2k13 is the pick and roll. The pick and roll indicator gets the basics of a pick wrong before it is even set. A pick should be an opportunity to create space in order to look for a mismatch. This mismatch should come from the screener and ball handler reading and reacting to the motion of the defense. By calling for a "roll" to the basket before the pick is engaged it erases the purpose of the play.

I saw more fouls but just on me and not on the cpu. There was a play where I was in great position, chris paul had picked up his dribble so all I had to do was hold L2 to stay in front of him to cause his shot to go awry. That's what i did, Chris jumped into my chest, I got the foul call. :|

On the opposite end, I caught Chris off guard with a pump fake and I jumped into my shot as he worked to get back into position. This lead to a shot where he threw himself into me, I fell down with no foul called and non of my players tried to go for the rebound.

It seems like the cpu has some nepotism in this game.

I am reinstalling NBA 2k now to see if it fixes this for me. I haven't done anything to my files.

So Whatever, new patch, I will just start fresh. I have 3 problems now. All during the tryout stage. 1. Deron Williams is invisible when trying out for the Nets. 2. The whole Orlando Magic team is invisible when trying out. 3. Unable to tryout as a center on the Toronto Raptors. The game will crash. Other than that the game is great and I might stay on the PC version.

Reinstalling NBA 2K fixed all this for me.

Just watched CPU-CPU Portland vs Cleveland. Cleveland won 99-88. The stats were as follows:

Free Throws- Cleveland(19/26), Portland(12/22)

3pt FG Cleveland(6/16), Portland(7/19)

Which difficulty? I'm seeing it play really well on Pro with CPUvsCPU (aside from some rare times where the PG just holds the ball for almost an entire possession)

# 53 TarHeelPhenom @ 12/11/14 06:02 PM

All-Star difficulty.

I know it looks way better on the tv. The way the lighting reflects off of the players on PC is pretty insane

# 55 TarHeelPhenom @ 12/11/14 08:32 PM

Just watched a second CPU vs CPU game between the Kings and the Mavs. The Mavs won 116-106.

Stats

Free Throws

Captured a whole quarter of video. Gotta see how it came out. This mornings wasn't too smooth.

This is pretty much the only thing I don't like about this game. Those forced CPU comebacks kill a lot of the fun for me because you literally get punished for playing well.

# 60 Guffers @ 12/12/14 02:46 AM

I've played three quarters so far with the patch (who knew having a 2 year old led to limited rec time?) and I love it.

I'm now competitive on all star sim where as before I struggled on pro. I'm putting it down to fouls actully getting called and the cpu not spamming the paint so much.

It just feels FAIR and challenging as opposed to frustrating and the stat overlays look great as well! I can finally start a franchise and put in some hours over this Australian summer!
