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.

I can see why they did it but I just wish they went the extra mile and released it for PC
Now that you said, it makes much more sense why there is no patch for PC. I guess at this point I should just stop believing it will come out this month or ever, come think of that, and start waiting for 2K17.

Good points, but I'm not pacified that easily. Just because we don't have RTTF (I don't really know what that is btw...a game mode we don't get? Off topic but that's annoying) doesn't mean we don't play others online or even locally. And this doesn't have much of a use for offline gameplay vs cpu, but it's still there...

Not to mention there's apparently been adjustments to Curry that I'm not sure we can replicate in any other way without this patch. They finally made him play truer to form and I don't get to experience it because I spent my $60 on a copy for my PC rather than going out and buying a console? That hashtag on my screen kind of felt like an insult further reminding me of this btw...

The patch changes affect all game modes, I don't see why it shouldn't be released on PC.

Last time it took them longer to release a patch in 2k16, it was because they addressed some PC specific issues. Since Vroman here told me that he had a connectivity issue and that support informed him that devs are working on a solution, I'm optimistic that the patch is yet to come. The lack of communication is worrying, but nothing unusual.

RTTF is a pro-am tournament where the winning team gets $250,000 and a trip to the NBA finals. PC wasn't included in the tournament. I suspect it was because of the rampant cheat engine users but honestly idk.

That's what I hope the issue is.

Looks like we are getting the patch nr. 6 after all. Guys at NLSC just dropped some news about the patch in their latest podcast (since I am a newbie here, I am not allowed to post links here, sorry).

When I heard it, I went to check the Steam Database and there really have been made changes in depots two days ago. More specifically, the changes have been made to the "branches" which are normally used for testing new patches/content.

I am guessing the patch will drop either next week or the week after.

Edit: Couple of minutes after writing this I realized that it was this forum´s very own joosegoose who found out this new piece of info about the patch nr. 6. Credit goes to you, mate, although you could´ve posted it here too.
Edit #2: LD2K officially confirmed that it is in fact the long awaited patch: https://twitter.com/LD2K/status/733352141817970688

150mb update dropped on steam. Tried to speedboost with liliard and j.wall to make sure, but really cant tell for sure since I hardly ever used that move.
