NBA 2K15 Patch #4 Available Now, Primarily Addresses Shoe Issues

03:17 PM - March 12, 2015 by Steve_OS

NBA 2K15 patch #4 has been released for PlayStation 4 and PC users. It is not available yet for Xbox One users. The patch primarily addresses the shoe issues in the game, more specifically in MyCAREER mode. You can see the workaround here.

After you download it, let us know what you are seeing. Once 2K releases the patch notes, we will update this post.

UPDATE: (via @Ronnie2K) Another thing addressed last night was fix to deal w/ rare occurrences that led to NBA 2K15 MyPARK rep being stuck. Should no longer happen.

God guys it's so stingy. Stop complaining about the patch and download a good roster and fix your sliders and you'll get great realistic results

its actually not that easy to fix the sliders to get good results. its ridiculously easy to make jumpers on superstar even with lowered shooting sliders, and many of us feel hall of fame is too cheesy and unnatural.

as you can see that would leave one in a bind.

Again, I'm still on patch 3. Even with no lag I literally hit zero green shots with the Kings, a team I've been playing with since launch.

Greens weren't happening for many releases and many teams, it needed tweaking.

I also heard the patch updated defense, and took out a ton of animations.

Shooting being a little too easy will take a little work with sliders but operation sports has some slider pros. The game radically improved minus a few small flaws in the patch

The shooting has definitely gone way too easier after the patch and i'm not liking it much, yet other changes to gameplay and overall input timings and vs. are all welcome.

Im not one to complain, but Im not going to download a new roster and start a new gm mode.
Im 60+ games into my first year and was hoping to complete my first 82 game season ever, no simmed games. (I may have did it once before, a long time ago)
2k has been consistent with being able to tweak sliders, as a matter of fact Ive been playing with the same custom base sliders since 09,(with a few tweaks) I tried adjusting those sliders and I cant get that same feel I had before.

They must have tweaked something else that isnt in any of the sliders.

I still like the game, though.

This is probably my first real complaint about a 2k basketball game since who knows.

plus Im waiting for the patch notes. so Ill know what to tweak gameplay wise

Are you speaking of HOF Sim online level?

# 427 Rubio809 @ 03/21/15 09:49 AM

Again, what if I deleted the game then reinstalled? Will this reset back before any patches and what about when I am prompted to go back to main screen for updates? Will that automatically do a patch??

And yes, this game WAS too damn good prior to patch#4.

This is exactly what I was going for when I made that thread about 2k keeping momentum after patch 3.. We play a part with the nature of feedback were giving...

I don't know for sure if i'm included in "some of these guys" but it's very possible so let me explain.

It's not that the game was great after patch 3. It's that it was great compared to what it became after patch 4. Personally i thought the game was bad prior to patch 3 and became average after it. Not quite horrible, maybe horrible compared to 2k13 as far as movement and controls.

Edit: obviously 2k15 might be the best in the series in some aspects, like the plays for example or the customization depth of myleague. But the thing is that i rarely use plays and don't play myleague so obviously i'm not going to base my opinion on that. To me the button responsiveness and controls are extremely important, both are subpar at best. Servers, still regularly problematic. Exploits like baseline dunks and holding nuts that don't get patched even though they should be easy to fix. There's much more and all of it adds up.

But reading coached17's post it looks like there's still some hope. I really hope i can experience the same thing, i can't imagine going until 2k16 (or live 16, you never know) without a basketball game.

# 429 erickonasis @ 03/21/15 03:10 PM

If patch 3 was so great then why the he** did you use sliders?

These statements are laughable.

Thank u 2 k for patch 4 it was much needed offline .

HOF sim is now perfect

And i challenge anyone to stream playing on HOF sim offline NO Sliders to always get Green releases like they are claimimg

I'll watch it

# 430 jyoung @ 03/21/15 03:16 PM

This issue to me isn't that it's too easy to hit green releases, it's that shots with a green release go in 99% of the time. I've only missed two green release shots all year in several hundred games played.

Maybe a better shooting system would be:

green release = you get your player's true shot rating
slightly early/slightly late release = -3 attribute points to the player's shot rating
late/early release = -9 attribute points to the player's shot rating

I'm not sure what the ideal minus values would be, but that's definitely something that could be tweaked to perfection with a little testing.

I've always preferred shooting systems that have the ratings matter more than the release timing. Dudes with 60-70 shot ratings shouldn't be draining buckets that extend well beyond their natural abilities, just because the user has mastered the timing of players' shooting animations.

Exactly, and patch 4 made things much worse in that regard. At least in patch 3, shooting was more on a realistic level in regard to player ratings. Now ratings have no effect from mid range.

# 432 The 24th Letter @ 03/21/15 03:46 PM

I'd like to catch a stream of that too...

I consider myself a pretty seasoned player and even I can't get 9/10 green releases on HOF like some are claiming...

Not even disputing that it's the case, but I want to see it in action...

# 433 LorenzoDC @ 03/21/15 04:07 PM

I'm on Xbone so I can't say, but checking out this thread and the slider threads, it looks like offline players haven't been able to find a good set of slider adjustments yet to keep shooting percentages sim like.

Seems like just lowering the shot making sliders isn't enough because green releases are too common and green releases seem to go in 100% of the time.

The slider set using real FG % without user timing also doesn't seem to have this all worked out yet.

There was a lot that apparently went into this patch, including some game speed related things. Maybe we'll know more when patch notes finally come out.

A lot of the game play adjustments are getting good reactions, it's just the problem of shooting becoming too easy offline, and the sliders not seeming to be sufficient to correct that.

I will do the video because I was green lighting all over the place with my Nets on HoF/Sim.

I successfully (read accidentally) took a charge the other day in mycareer post patch, with my PG against the CPUs PG right near the 3pt line as they were setting up their offense, CPU tried a drive as I happened to hit the charge button...this is the only charge I've managed to take in 2k15 to date and I've been playing since launch. I'd actually given up even trying after realising the CPU will just auto dribble around you or run through you with no call. Whether the patch has effected this or not though is anyones guess because WE STILL HAVE NO PATCH NOTES.

Yeap on both levels i tested, HOF/SIM, Superstar/SIM both gone way easier then b4. It's always welcome to be able to make shots but the way they go in sometimes are way off from reality.

# 439 erickonasis @ 03/21/15 06:50 PM

Well to me the game was unplayable after patch 3 . Players were sliding all over the place and you could not play defense at all. Input lag was all over the place (its still there but no way as much) . Blown layups all over the place . I can actually guard my guys now when playing good defense .

Ill trade that for a few green shot releases any day.

Again im talking about hof sim with no slider after patch 3.

# 440 LionsFanNJ @ 03/21/15 08:05 PM

Yeah prior to patch three I hated playing on ball defense in my games, because even slight change of direction would send my player in all types of weird directions. Now I can play good positional defense without that worry....and I contest the shots.
