NBA 2K16 News Post


A new patch for the PC version of NBA 2K16 is available now. Check out the details below.

GENERAL
  • Support added for custom keyboard configurations.
  • Optimization improvements that increase performance across all configurations.
  • Addressed an issue where some users would notice commentary cutting out during gameplay.
  • Resolved frame rate stuttering at start of games/between quarters on moderate to high-end systems.
  • Addressed an issue where some users would see a black screen in the Edit Arena and Edit Uniform menus when ‘Special Effects’ was turned off.
  • New Video Settings option ‘Media People Detail Level’ added; reducing this will help performance on low-end and mid-range graphics cards.
  • Corrected missing/incorrect player icons when using a non-Xbox 360 controller.
  • Fixed a rare hang that could occur when attempting to fast-forward 2KTV.
  • Fixed a rare driver crash on DirectX 10.0 and DirectX 10.1 graphics cards.
  • Help text added to Video Settings menu.
  • Additional detail setting now available for Shader Detail in the Video Settings menu.
  • Fixed super sampling not working when Letterbox (formerly called Aspect Ratio Correction) was disabled.
  • The following Video Settings options should now provide the expected results when modified: Color Correction, Depth of Field, Screen Space Ambient Occlusion, Bloom, and Volumetric Effects.
  • Resolved a rare case where the game would hang when entering/exiting the Tattoo editor when customizing the tattoos on your MyPLAYER.
  • Addressed an issue on the main menu where the title would freeze for a period of time before proceeding to the selected action (e.g. loading a MyCAREER save).
  • Players will no longer slide/skate when pressing the block button during an inbound state. It was funny while it lasted.
  • Tuned crowd excitement and intensity on made buzzer beaters.
  • Resolved a case where certain players (e.g. Kristaps Porzingis) would have their hairstyle change slightly when zooming in the camera very close in replay.
MyPARK/2K PRO-AM
  • Pro-Am Team Play has been added to the game! You can now play as a full team in your custom-built arenas.
  • Addressed a number of matchmaking issues that inhibited users from playing in Pro-Am Walk-On games.
  • Fixed an issue where your player would sometimes appear with the incorrect height (if you had more than one MyCAREER save file) when entering MyPARK/Pro-Am from within MyCAREER.
  • Fixed a rare case where the ball would get stuck in the High Roller courts, thus preventing a game from concluding.
  • Improved the animation of the skateboard in MyPARK. If you don’t have this, get it. You can move between courts faster than those that are on-foot!
  • 2K Beats will now continue to play after finishing a game in MyPARK.
MyCAREER/MyCOURT
  • Fixed an issue where some users were unable to join their friends’ MyCOURTs.
  • Fixed an issue where the host user was unable to send MyCOURT invites after leaving MyPARK/Pro-Am with a squad.
  • Addressed a number of issues with Accolades not unlocking at the appropriate time within MyCAREER.
  • Pressing the back button will no longer cause the game to hang from the MyCAREER NEXT menu after being eliminated from the playoffs.
MyGM/MyLEAGUE
  • Numerous tuning and code enhancements to improve simulated player stats.
  • Playoff games (within a series) can no longer be played out of order in MyLEAGUE Online.
  • Found and fixed a case where visiting certain submenus with no head coach would cause the game to hang.
  • Fans of relocated/rebranded teams will no longer hold up signs referencing the previous identity of the team.
  • Fixed a rare hang that could occur when the ticker referenced a previous game result where all of the players on the team have since been traded.
  • Selecting to load a custom draft class will no longer cause a game hang in the MyGM offseason if you had previously been fired during that same offseason.
NOTE: All patch fixes will work in your existing game mode saves.

Good job fellas. You fixed alot of peoples games, but you broke mine...

I have the EXACT same problem........

Alright, finally with this patch the performance is fixed on my end. Had to turn off reflections though to maintain steady 60fps but everything is smooth now.
Commentary sometimes works without problems but sometimes goes mute in 1st quarter.
For now I'm pretty satisfied as I considered the game a lost cause in my system. They should fix the sound issues though.

I managed to find a workaroumd. Im on steam, not sure how youd do this on non steam version. Right click on NBA 2K16>properties>local game content (i think its called, local something.)>verify file integrity.

Steam will download the missing files i guess the update corrupted. Rediculous I had to do this, but atleast it got me going.

I still have the silent comentary bug I might add.

No sir, vanilla. Thats what had me confused because I have had the same problem out of other games that I did have mods on.

# 69 Lagoa @ 11/03/15 02:12 PM
So, i´m not play online, just offline after patch... no sweat (ok, it´s not on patch notes) but problem with commentary still here. I dont see any change with the patch.

So, 2k "working hard" on a patch for F@##=*/* 40 days and not solve the problems? WTF? No Sweat, No Fatigue, commentary problem.... more 40 or 60 days to work this? I have a idea, try it on NBA 2k17!!! :evil: :evil: :evil:

Im done with 2k16.
 
# 70 Lagoa @ 11/03/15 02:19 PM
Ahh, another one:

2k ignore SWEAT, ok, it´s a "little stuff", just a "cosmetic feacture", Lagoa overrated this....

But look on this patch notes:

The priority was to make the game playable without stuttering and it wasn't an easy task as the porting of the game was a failure. If the patch didn't fix the performance for most users 2k would be forced to refund anyone as WB did. That said, they managed to save the game with the new patch.
Most probably they will now fix the commentary and sweat problems. Yes they're late but believe me the latest patch saved them a LOT of money...
 
# 72 sakiboj @ 11/03/15 02:33 PM
They dont give a **** simply. Probably we will get again some patch that will fix one thing and break dozen other and then they will begin to create hype for 2k17. And I bet that it will be same fiasco like this year's. Maybe we get same bugs three years in a row

Steam offers refunds now for digital purchases, provided you haven't played a game for more than 2 hours or let it sit for 14 days after purchase.

Beyond that, Arkham Knight (which fear is referencing) was a special case. It was so messed up on release that WB pulled it off the digital shelves - literally stopped selling the game. And, even after a patch has failed to fix those release issues for a lot of people, WB has decided to offer refunds to anyone who purchased it digitally (as well as its DLC).

Thanks for the help man.


I deleted the whole game...works fine now.


BUT........my passing icons are completely gone. Seems this is common?
 
# 79 Walt Frazier @ 11/03/15 07:03 PM
XBOX ONE controller users = all passing icons GONE thanks to this 'patch'.
