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).

Seems that way as Im hardly seeing any fouls for me or the AI and thats with all foul sliders at 100 even. It wasnt good before with lack of fouls and now its close to unbearable.

You can try what Im going to try and drop Offense and Defense awareness sliders and see if that may help with more fouls. Doubt it does but its worht a shot I guess.

This is what the game is, and Ill keep loving it for the next 3-4 months. Ive just finished an 82 game my league, and Ive just started a new one where Ill play all 82 games for Dallas and Cleveland

I still dont think dribbling is as responsive. In fact I think this area really lets the game down.

And bad/slow defenders are still too sticky.

But this game is awesome and is the best one they've made.

# 223 Jrocc23 @ 12/17/15 04:06 AM

Man, it seems like Mike changed the shooting again. The midrange is super broke now. Seems like 3s are easier than middies now.

Thought it was just because I was playing HOF in MyCareer but it's super broke in Park. Very open shots and green releases is off. I am pretty sure it was messed with. Wish it would have been left like it was.

It's because the pass fake animation is a stationary animation only. Your player has to be at a stand-still before the pass fake will trigger. Your player is most vulnerable to being stripped of the ball while he's moving, even moreso if you have the turbo button held down. So I recommend using the pass fake immediately after a rebound, or immediately after catching the ball along the perimeter or down in the post on offense. I use it all the time in Pro Am whenever I'm spotting up in the corner for a three pointer and someone is closing out on me to where I won't have enough space to shoot or drive. Just stand still, pass fake once or twice to plan out your next move, then carry on from there and you won't turn the ball over. That same strategy works in MyPark/Gauntlet whenever you're taking the ball out at the top of the key after a foul or turnover. Just pass fake until you know where you want to go with the ball and you won't have to worry about it coming loose. The game of 2K is like a sword fight: You must think first... ...before you move.

The fake pass is so damn good especially as a big. I actually like playing big man even more now . Also I saw a video where Mike recommended the "fake drive or fake spin " in the post up before doing a move. Very effective

I still see the bug exists where, after the first period is over, the game wants to load the player cut-away interview, but something goes wrong and it turns black and back to the game immediately. Any one knows whats up?

dribbling works for me. the only thing didnt sit well with me is the help defense. playing 82 games was grueling!

Is it me or can anyone get in the paint with ease and run coast to coast and score with ease? I can! Can anyone add to this?

Was there anything In Patch notes that we need to restart to get? I didn't see anything. Just double checking.

# 230 Kully @ 12/17/15 10:10 AM

It looks like you get an auto blocking call if you are close to a defender and he goes back court or out of bounds. Happened about 10-12 times over a five game span for me. Looks like it happens when the animation makes them move out of bounds:

If I did something wrong as Lavine, please inform me.

I think its just subjective by 2k.

If you body up full court and are on the side of the ballhandler then force him out of bounds IRL that's a foul.

I didn't do anything but stand there. Would that still be a foul?

No bodying up involved at all. I'm just trying to understand a little bit more because I'm am having this happen to me semi-frequently.

CPU had a 20% 4th quarter against me.....never seen anything like it, lol

This has been in the game from the start. It makes sense to me because the defender can easily camp the mid-line and start a contact animation. People abused this in years past so I am glad 2K made a little concession here to keep things balanced

# 235 ballin2k0 @ 12/17/15 10:39 AM

2k please stop making animations people can exploit this was one of my problems with the gme i felt like i was getting beat by players that learn certain animations instead of playing a video game for fun they will do anything to win even cheating with animations and listen to the last couple of comments its clear i was right,i do think you guys at 2k did a great job with patch 4 but to be honest it will be a matter o time before yhese guys learn to cheat everything again please seperate them into cheater server or something its no fun playing a cheater on nba myteam.you could do it by win loss or something not everbody plays this game like there in the nba and getting paid for it,seperate the players thaat cheese with certain players also make them always play each other.

Honestly, in the NBA...probably.

Yeah that's cool . I would still like to see more offensive fouls/charges in the game

In that case it makes sense. I was trying to cool off a hot Williams by pressuring him with Lavine hoping to cause some turnovers. If it is a concession to help online players that's fine by me.

True enough

# 239 ballin2k0 @ 12/17/15 11:00 AM

the thing is i used to do anything to win but around 2k11 i realized i wasnt really having fun..i was just making sure i won the game so i understand both sides.thats why im saying seperate theses guys because your average player dont want to play like that but the die hards are on there to punish people i know because i used to do it....also you usaully end up playing the same players on myteam online the matchmaking needs to be fixed i dont want to play the same cheater over and over and over.....im a adult can you imagine what a younger person feels like if im having theses problems and i am naturally good i dont have to cheat to win and dont and i have more fun to this day just playing for fun.

# 240 ballin2k0 @ 12/17/15 11:15 AM

one other thing i think could be a quick fix is give us a unranked option in myteam that way the try hards and die hards will be busy climbing the ranks and most players that play for fun will play unranked...also please give the 1 silver player or 3 gold player option in this unranked mode if you dont it will be ruined by everybody using the same players every game.i wouldnt bother with this but i believe that the 2k guys listen to us and i love nba2k im just trying to help make the game better and i think theses try hards are running everbody else off the mode thats not good for business.
