NBA 2K16 Patch #4 Available For PlayStation 4, Xbox One & PC - Details Included

03:17 PM - December 15, 2015 by 23

NBA 2K16 patch #4 is available for PlayStation 4, weighing in at 2.4GB. The same patch is scheduled to be released for PC and Xbox One very soon. Once they release, we will update this post.

UPDATE: Patch #4 is available for PC and Xbox One now.

Check out the patch notes below and let us know what you are seeing!

GENERAL

Addressed a hang that can occur when editing/applying tattoos in Edit Player.
Resolved a bug where one or more users in a co-op game would lose control of their player at some point during the game.
Fixed a disconnect issue that some users were seeing during online games.
(PC) Fixed a corruption issue where some users were experiencing hangs, missing art assets, and infinite loads. Please ensure that your virus scanning software (e.g. Avast) whitelists your Steam folder/directory. This is required for new content to properly download and install.
Closed a loophole where the pause timer would stop counting down when sitting in the �Report Image� flow.
Improved the user interface when applying contracts to players in MyTEAM by removing the display of how many contracts the player would have IF the current card was applied.
Fixed a case where the user accepting an online invite would sometimes skip the position selection screen in the way into matchmaking.
Headwear should now properly unequip when attempting to do so from within the MyPARK Apparel section of the store.
The player portrait will now update when a new user is signed in on the main menu via the account picker.
A number of other optimizations and enhancements have been made to improve the user experience.

GAMEPLAY

Teammate free throw celebration/interaction behaviors have been corrected.
Slightly tuned down the frequency of ball collisions.
Fixed an issue that led to a temporary loss of user control on possession changes while in the 2K Cam.
Tuned down the frequency of missed alley-oop and putback dunks when open.
Fixed an issue that allowed high rated post players to shoot post fadeaway 3's at a high percentage.

MyCAREER/MyPARK/MyCOURT

Fixed a rare issue where the game would hang when Doris Burke interviews your MyPLAYER at the end of the first half and/or at the end of the game.
The correct records and rep levels will now be shown for the players on the MyPARK loading screen.
Corrected the wall and floor art for the San Antonio Spurs theme in MyCOURT.
Fixed a case where some purchased shoes were not properly appearing on the shoe racks in MyCOURT.

MyGM/MyLEAGUE

Resolved a hang that could occur many, many years into MyGM when entering the offseason.
Generated players will now wear the correct color socks for away games.
Fixed an issue where generated players were getting their free throw animations randomized every offseason.
The Strengths/Weaknesses screen in Team Comparison should now be functioning properly once again.

NOTE: All patch fixes will work in your existing game mode saves (unless specifically noted otherwise).

I know there is a button dedicated for bounce. But you cant call for a bounce pass off ball in MyCareer.

This sums it up nicely

My bad, didn't know you were referencing your video, cant watch it currently...you cant call for a bounce pass off ball pressing circle? I don't play MC so excuse my ignorance...

Very anxious about the gameplay. The help defense is overpowered imo. Check out the clips below.

Over help on D by Andre Roberson. Twice in a game left his man Danny Green for under the basket easy score and open 3. I am playing the OKC and SAS is the CPU.
https://youtu.be/mjbQH8Wxhwk
https://youtu.be/7UOK4Vn6kro

Even superstars like Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant overhelped in the game!
https://youtu.be/0OBvWeVsjBc
https://youtu.be/Cb8CSUQjv5s

Steven Adams again. Post patch 3 and now, post patch 4 still loses his man.
https://youtu.be/JJKtVJ8qux8

Bail out foul is still there, but i only encountered once by Dion Waiters.
https://youtu.be/TPf05nui5Wo

I saw the ball was immediately striped from Ibaka after he got the offensive rebound. With this animation, I hope 2K17 can add an animation where he can hold up the ball above the head after the offensive rebound. We saw Tim Duncan does that very often.
https://youtu.be/aAa3gLQWRn8

Overall, I still like the gameplay. I'll probably need to pay more attention to my weak side defenders and play more off ball D so when it happened i will switched and make them move back to their man.

You can protect the ball with LT.

It is simply software code period and how it is written.

( to my knowledge) Xbox records video at your request while the ps4 CONSTANTLY records video. Considering that would mean the ps4 needs to record for the system and for every steal, block, assist and score of every player on court of nba 2k , there IS a difference. If live it's anything like Madden it records only certain plays on a highlight rating scale. Now i can't for certain say this is why it doesn't work, but its a theory.

THE PS4 HAS A DEDICATED CHIP FOR STREAMING AND RECORDING. It does not cost the devs anything. It was one of the first reveals about the console. This is also why you can share play.

Really trying to raise some awareness about myGm users not having any injuries in game

Well it kind of kills it a bit when you never experience any injuries when playing games. I believe 2k15 did a pretty good job although some injuries were frustrating, i had to adjust. Alot of play through injuries, or minor injuries aswell...its better than not having any at all

# 192 lilweezy45 @ 12/16/15 05:28 PM

the overall computer awareness need tuning even the best defenders be to dumb losing they man, over helping, centers to far under the basket giving up easy buckets, i know 2k developers play the game enough to see this type of stuff happening without having to come to the community the awareness is beyond stupid alot of times specifically on defense

It's the same in MyLeague. I think I'm going to come up with my own method to injure players or something.

I agree with every video you post. Especially in MyCareer this is a problem. Even though it doesn't happen alot compare to patch 3. Its still a problem. Patch 4 should of fix this completely. I thought player awareness was a selling point in NBA2k16 because I dont see it. Wing defenders keep over-helping leaving 3 point shooters open when help is not wanted inside yet they still come. COME ON 2k. Im losing games because 3 point bombarded because idiots AI on my team keep leaving their man to help out when they are NOT WANTED

If you start up park and notice the 2nd ranked player's W/L looks normal, you have the update. It probably updated while you were away from your Xbox, I know mine did.

AArrgg that three second call....

# 197 spoofrice11 @ 12/16/15 06:39 PM

Haven't noticed much improved on Patch 4. MyPlayer felt really slow at first.

My requests were not fixed:

"- Not being able to skip Time Outs, Halftime, & Postgame. (I don't care about cheeleaders, my coach in the huddle, or seeing the locker room every game. I play the game, to play it, not watch boring things.)

If the cpu calls time out 3 times at the end of games and me a couple times, it feels like I sit there several minutes. I don't have a ton of time to play, I just want to advance the ball. So find it real annoying that when a TO is called, I can't skip it right away like the older games and have to sit there for at least 20-30 seconds before it will go on. And Postgame takes forever to get through all the talking that I don't want to hear.

*Let us skip things that just wastes our time."

Thanks for clarification dave. I finally got a chance to check out patch late last night but I only got to play a couple of mypark games and a mycareer game. In my very small sample size of games movement of my guy felt different yet it still feels like it takes him an eternity to get going in a direction. On ball d felt the same to me but off ball feels a little nerfed--just a bit. It feels a little harder than usual to put a body on guys when cutting through the paint. Still like this game a lot.

Whoever brought up the idea of 2k creating a put the ball in the air animation for bigs to protect the ball when surrounded in the paint is brilliant

! We need something that can help us secure boards and get the ball out---hope for this in 2k17

# 199 Bblade @ 12/16/15 08:41 PM

Hey, I'm on XBOX ONE and patch 4 is not 2.4 gigs for me. It's like 1.5 for me. I don't know why it's like that. Is anybody else experiencing this?

Press the Y and B buttons at the same time and you'll do a pass fake.

The ball can't be stolen while you're in the pass fake animation.

This will buy you an extra second or two to think up your next move while the steal spammers converge on the ball.
