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.

With all the talk of green releases (using shot meter), what are the shot percentages among players that don't use the meter (turn off)? I don't use the meter, but if it's that easy (accurate), it shouldn't be in the game (IMO) past pro level. Seems as if the shot meter is being used as a "crutch" instead of learning release points.

Ok so i just played 2 rttp games and the experience was pretty much the complete opposite of the last time i played. I'll keep this short and sweet since i'm typing with the controller... Basically gameplay/controls felt very good. So whatever tweaks 2k made since the last time i played i just want to say great job. My complaints about the patch are now erased. For now anyway, they might make more tweaks and (by accident) mess it up.

Game is so much smoother. Gone are the stumble stutter step and the annoying ball flying over the basket without being touched happens a lot less now. Passing seems much better too.

I am selling my ps4 and xbox now because the game is honestly trash now. What's even more stupid is you cant even double team someone if they are in post mode. I can't believe they didn't fix that glitch but they upped the shooting to make it seem like some arcade game. ****** if you ask me. So anyone who wants to cheat or dribble without being able to be intentional fouled, double teamed, or have the ball be ripped, just press the post button anywhere on the court and dribble like that. I can't believe the shooting is so stupid now. Everything, I mean just about everything goes in if an idiot shoots. Even if you are wide open all shots should not go in. This game is * now.

You put $3,000 on the line. When a patch JUST came out. Really???

Sounds like your the one that screwed yourself..patches change games. Can't win every game.

Sounds like the people that pay $3,000 on VC and then complain when they don't win every game

So I didn't even realize a patch came out for this game recently. I thought I magically got a lot better. I only play offline. I'm playing a season with the Kings on HOF difficulty. I play all 82 games with 12 minute quarters. This is the only mode I play. For the first 70 games I was 37-33, in 9th place in the west, shooting 44% from the field and 32% from 3. This game was awesome. I was having the challenge of a lifetime. Can I bring the Kings to the playoffs? If I make it, can I have a long playoff run? It was fun. The last 12 games I went 11-1. I lost to OKC 137-129. In regulation. Those last 12 games I averaged 131 points per game, shooting about 57% from the field and 50% from 3. I thought after playing 70 games I just got better. I came back to this website to check if something was up because I just started the playoffs. I had to call pause at halftime. I'm up 77-48. Im shooting 10/13 from 3 and 28/39 overall. This is ridiculous. The challenge is gone. The fun is gone. Is there anything that can be done? Can I delete this patch somehow? I don't want to make the move to real player % because I like having a slight amount of control over weather or not I hit shots. But this is just silly. I shouldn't be ripping it up from 3 point range with Tony Allen (traded for him). He's 10/15 in the last 5 games. That's nuts. I'm just sad now. I can't finish this season unless it can go back to the way it was. I hate being the guy who blindly blames the people in charge of this stuff, but cmon man. You ruined this game. It's easier than Double Dribble now. Take the patch back. I'll wait a couple weeks. I can't play this game anymore. I am sad. That is all. Have a nice night.

What do you mean by wrongness? The game is terrible offline thanks to the buff in green release shots.

Let's not lose track of what the problem here is. Nerfing shooting to cover up bad defensive AI by the CPU doesn't actually "fix" anything. It just covers up a flaw/problem.

That's one of 2ks biggest problems. I wish they would see it. They mask their biggest issues with cover ups.

For example, most fouls on 2k aren't fouls at all. 2k can't find a way to generate honest fouls so they generate bogus inside fouls to keep. Foul numbers up.

Or 2k can't stop steal spammers on the outside, and they also can't help the computer ai guard the ball properly, so they make it impossible to steal the ball on the outside,

Bro, I haven't played for a long time so I don't know, so the patch 4 makes this game unplayable now? I gave it a half an hr try last night playing on simulation and the game was a little too easy, I only play half of the game so I could be wrong, it was just very easy to score on CPU, am I the only one experiencing this or the game became too easy itself after the patch 4?

This is EXACTLY how I feel, instead of Tony Allen for me it's Kirk Hinrich looking like a prime Ray Allen now. I've tried everything from sliders to real % to HOF, can't touch the game again til I read some good news here.

# 471 Jrocc23 @ 03/24/15 03:26 AM

I am just hoping 2K give us one more quick patch and put the shooting back to how it was and also add headbands (which I am sure won't happen lol). And then work on the shooting completely for 2K16.

Don't leave us with the shooting this way. 2K15 is easily one of the top 3 2Ks for me and if shooting is bad as it sounds, it'll be a long wait for 2K16 and leave a bad taste in my mouth.

Yeah the game is too easy and there is no efficient way to tweak that since sliders don't affect green releases.

Exposing the poor AI and not properly balancing the game doesn't just uncover a flaw. It effectively breaks the game. The game is not improved by flaws being uncovered with no possible resolution.

And I would say the shot system from reports seems broken regardless of the AI. Most missed shots in the real NBA are uncontested. And if the ease of getting greens is bad as reported, it is simply a broken mechanic, because it completely bypasses the simulation engine and ratings when greens are obtained (and they are obtained often).

# 474 The 24th Letter @ 03/24/15 11:41 AM

Maybe I'm not as good as I thought but I definitely can't get green releases on command like some are saying (on higher difficulties anyway).....so slider tweaks worked fine for me as far as increasing the difficulty of the A.I in my experience....

Why can't Tony Allen shoot 7/8 from 3 point? He is a professional basketball player, he is capable.

He is capable but he is not consistently capable. He shouldn't do that every game.

It should be possible but low chance of happening based off his 32% 3FG and that is with no one really contesting his 3's. He is left open a lot in the perimeter.

Can someone answer this ...

Does playing with real fg% help curtail some of the high shooting %s people are now seeing?

I believe it does, at least in the games I've played. Shooting percentages are up a few points for both me and the CPU, but I haven't seen anything over 50% for a game yet. Last game I played was in my Charlotte Hornets MyLeague versus the New Orleans Pelicans. Pelicans won by 7, 98-91 and if I recall correctly, they shot 48% for the game and I was at 46%. I didn't see anything that made me think the game was "broken".

You do see more mid-range and close-range shots going in, but 3-pointers remain the same. I actually like that the close-range was bumped up as that's seemed to help more layups from bigs go in with traffic around them, whereas before it was typically a miss if you weren't wide-open down low.

Thank you DJ. I typically play with default user timing but I will switch it to real fg% if I see %'s getting out of hand.
