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.

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.

This has pretty much been my experience with Real % post patch, as well. Although I've only played a handful of games with the patch. Before I could rarely hit two and almost never three in a row with guys like Ryan Anderson and Luke Babbitt even if the were wide open set shots. Now if they're open they seem to hit more than miss, but will still miss occasionally. Also, pre-patch a shot with a hand in your face never seemed to fall and now I've seen a few go in.

Also, contested shots down low seem to be falling at a higher rate, but that's an improvement from before where nothing ever seemed to fall. It's just nice to see some big's get contact and be able to muscle through it for and And 1.

IIRC in my last game I shot around 47% and 39% from 3. With that said, I've only played a few games, so obviously it's a very small sample size. I may have to readjust some sliders, but I'm wait a few games before going too crazy with them. However, from what I've seen with Real % all I have to say is so far so good.

This is the only basketball game out to play for money right now online and it is giving me bad health. If these stats are not changed I am going to file for a lawsuit due to pain and suffering of my health. This basketball game causes too much stress to be the only basketball game that is competing. I am filing a lawsuit for this game to be taken off the shelves and for nba live or nba jam or nba street to take its place. This game has caused way too much stress after this last patch. I am calling my lawyer within the next few days to set this up.

This made me laugh

Uhh sounds like you were the idiot who bet thousands on a video game after a patch without practicing first.

It's okay, with that last post he made he won't be posting here long and can get all the help he obviously needs.

Man, here I am going to school to get a good job when I could make a living just playing you and taking your money.

I played the Golden State at Portland game and lost 110-102. In the first half I held the Blazers to under 40% from the field. In the second half, they scored a ton of points in the paint on drives to the hoop and offensive rebounds. They shot something crazy like 65% for the half, but again, most of those were close range. Lillard blew past me a ton of times and the help D was nowhere to be found. The first half, he wasn't looking to drive as much. Aldridge did work in the post and mid-range. In my first game, Charlotte at Minnesota, the T-Wolves just had one of those games. Hitting 3's and seemingly every shot when the shot clock wound down. They shot 52% and I was at 55% and still lost by 16. So yeah, more shots are falling but if you can contest and guard tough, the percentages stay realistic, at least on real FG%. It's when the blow-boy's start happening that the floor opens up and shots fall from all over the place. This was all on All-Star/Simulation with no slider adjustments.

This still sounds promising to me DJ. Thanks for your impressions. I strictly play on ball defense and switch to whomever the ball is passed to. I also use the Sixers so it should hopefully still be challenging to win regardless..lol. I'm a little nervous that some are saying it's even tougher to control your guy on defense as I felt my guy was constantly moving or re-adjusting before patch 4.

To you, CaseIH, etc: Do you feel that you guys have better control of your guy on offense? Did they reduce automations (animations that often take too long to carry out leaving you out of control) and shorten up the animations so you have a little more control when moving with the ball?

Because I'm playing 2K15, and enjoying myself.....even if I give feedback on it. I also point out what I enjoy about the game...

Don't want to be one of those guys who spend all their time on the forum *****ing about every aspect of the game....then get upset when something is tweaked. I'm sure you know those types of guys...................

The player movement does seem more fluid; you'll still get stuck in animations but they don't feel as drawn out now. That could be another reason why playing defense has changed in that before you were almost guarding against the animation than you were the player; now you've got to really play the man.

I may have to try on-ball defense (I said off-ball earlier but spoke wrong) to see if that helps (I think it will).

I am still loving this game and at the end of the day if I have to adjust a couple of sliders to get the shooting percentages back to where they were before the patch, that's not a big deal to me.

# 510 bcruise @ 03/25/15 04:14 PM

Okay, I have to say this because what I'm seeing is so far off from what others have claimed. On my PC version I can lower the close, midrange, and 3 PT sliders to 0, get green releases and STILL brick with an F shot quality with Klay Thompson. There is an entire range of 0-50 to work with on each of those to find a sweet spot for offline play. I fail to see how this is broken and unfixable.

I'm perfectly capable of posting video showing F brick after F brick with good releases if anyone wants.

Yeah you are looking at it from a user vs. CPU offline. If you play mycareer you cannot edit sliders so they are basically stuck having a game that shooting gets way out of hand. MyPlayer is the most popular mode or it was. So it is not fixable in that sense.

Yeah, you definitely have a point there. But people seemed to be acting like the entire offline experience was broken.

I do feel for those who want to play a realistic career.

I would say offensively you have more control than on D for sure. The 1 ssue with offense I have is wen you pass the ball to a guy he slides all over the place, so where you passed to him at the elbw, he might be at the 3pt line once he secures the ball,lol. That's really th eonly offensive control issue I see since this patch.

I understand not having sliders available with the online connectivity aspect of MyCAREER, but they really should make sliders available for the offline version....

I tweaked a few sliders and the game is kicking *** as usual. Just had to make some minor adjustments.

Best 2K since 2K11....hands down. And probably my favorite basketball game ever.

Hi bro, do you mean you tweaked the sliders after the patch and is going well, would you please tell us what changes you have made? Thanks!

Ive actually had 2 really good games today and that was with my edited roster, as I felt the official 2k roster was playing better than my eidited roster after this patch. I tweaked some more sliders in favor of the D and I was happy with how it was playing.

I don't know about online since I never play online, but Im thinking now the patch hasn't screwed up gameplay to the point of not being able to fix it with sliders.

I think a couple changes I made to offensive/defensive awareness, and offensive and defensive consistency might be the biggest changes along with strength of shot gathers and releases.

I put off awareness at 38 and def awareness at 62, and had off consistency at 40 and defense consistency at 60, and felt that everything felt good. Maybe it just seems that way but it seems turning down off awareness seem to kind of slow them down some, and turning up D awareness I felt kept my guy from sliding all over the place. I also have On Ball D at 65. All my settings are the same for me and the computer.

You do need to turn up off reb, and turn down def rebounds, as it seems tuning the off awareness and D awareness effect rebounding too to a degree.

What exactly are the sliders that need to be tuned??? Please name them, thank you!
