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).

This may remedy the feeling of a lack of control on defense from time to time.

May take a while to get used to manual contesting, but give it a shot......as some have already commented, it works for them, and me obviously ...some even play well without it...it's preference really.

I know you'll actually put some effort into trying to figure things out so let me know if it works for you!

And then when she come back asking for money to go shopping, you keep giving that chick money so she can look good for everyone BUT you.

I hope that was the response you typed back to them, lol

There is so much confusion.

1-Defensive assist sliders DO NOT affect AI temmates.

2-I suggested manual shot contest because automatic contests are less effective. It also improves fouling and rebounding. Late aggressive contests are useless. You end up fouling or being out of position.

Those settings allow you to play the most effective defense in the game. A good user who plays with manual defense will always be better than a full AI defense (100-100-always). Manual defense is far more responsive.

Even though we are talking about imput lag so in teory it should affect offense too...

# 484 sirio994 @ 12/28/15 11:29 PM

Manual shot contest forces you to use the right stick and hands up defense which (if i'm right) affects pass accuracy. However it also depends on your difficulty level. On All Star assisted defense works well, on superstar and/or beyond it starts to be uneffective and you need a better/manual defensive system...

Yeah man it's the same for me .. Depending on who has the all I may do a soft close out or hard close out... What's crazy is my AI teammates hardly ever contest enough but a simple slider change can fix that...

i've been on manual shot contest all the while in 2k series. i feel that this option allows me to have full control of where and what i want the players do.
it doesnt really force me to use right stick to contest all the time. i mix it up with vertical jump (back+jump input) too. infact, i that that was better esp mid/close range. i wont be able to contest effectively all the time, but so far i manage to contain the cpu opponents below 95 pts on average (10-min quarter, superstar simulation). i am targeting 90, then 85. just a personal challenge to make the game fun.
tip by 2k: to close out effectively, u need to be near to the shooter BEFORE he releases the shot. else, less effective to affect the shot going in.

My whole team moved out of LeBron's way when trying to take control of them to defend a drive to the basket. Wish I had the video to show but I could no longer look at the game after that.

ok personally, i feel the difference when i tested playing at 100 and 0 per game. at 100 the players are sliding just like the old 2k series. hate it man.
i've been on 50 box out assist strength as i'm not sure whats that for. so far, i like my cpu performance on the boards. they are crashing no stop and bail me out for missing shots.

# 488 ataman5 @ 12/29/15 04:17 AM

Guys i doubt that anyone is here to be able to completely clarify the situation that some or more experience.

I haven't had anything related to input lag or slow movement before patch4 esp offline. And i'm always since day one all full manuel. Def, boxout asists are 0, contest manual.

It's not about them. It's the movement, the slugishnes and general heaviness all over the place in the game.
Also in specific there's definitely something weird going on dribbling to halfcourt but that's another issue.

We should definitely categorize the problems we face to be clear for devs to really understand. What i suggested is all offline so normally it's all affecting online for me too because the game offline is as is.

Also after patch 4 in 18-20 Myleague Online Games which are 12 mn quarters on Hof/Sim 15 of them has had connection errors (specific error codes appeared) in the very exact times of 3rd and 4th quarters; but i've not had any drops in Play Now Online, Mypark or Pro-Am. So that's another issue other than offline/online heaviness of movement.

I hope that devs still look for feedback and will have it sort it out somehow someway. Because this is not about gameplay,graphics, game modes etc. this is core stuff, a process issue.

As others suggested my connection isn't the problem and such as i experience same offline and online. The issue is well documented network plugged in/out.

I doubt that uninstalling and installing the game would fix those.

But what i will try tonight will be going back to factory on eveything on my end to which i mean i will do steps followed:

- Delete all saved data of Nba 2k16. Not the game but the saved files on Ps4 saved data/applications.
- Reset to Factory Settings of my Ps4
- Rebuild database of my Ps4
- Reset to Factory Settings of my Router.

I will follow these steps and will definitely let you know whether i would fix it on my end.

There's like 3 different conversations going tbh. I think what your referring to is actual input lag ataman.

Can't get upset when people question why she's still on your arm when they see you next year either

# 490 mauro78 @ 12/29/15 06:13 AM

What changed in patch #4?

Thx

Yeah there is a difference but still get unwanted movement at times. I should've rephrased what I said because I didn't mean literally no difference.

The game played a little better this morning then got worse over the course of the game as far as lag.

The steals have definitely been ramped up and you can run into to people again and make them lose the ball.

I have no clue what the devs are doing. 1 week it's this the next week it's that.

They are trying to please the masses .... And with the task of meeting a new game release annually they have chosen to comply and listen to the casual gamers and there mommies who by the game for them. We as sim players are extremely out numbered..

I had already did that stuff last week but didn't seem to help me. Played 2 games this morning and the first was playable for the most part, but the second was more like what I've been experiencing.

I agree man. I'm all for 2K wanting to improve on ball defense but they went a little overboard with it. When every player sticks to you like glue & is constantly bumping you (which would be a foul IRL) it makes the game not fun at times. 2K needs to really reevaluate on ball defense next year.

# 499 Kully @ 12/29/15 09:38 PM

I finally actually started to use the sig size ups after watching The 24th Letter's videos. I'm able to get by the CPU with more consistency now:

I also need to learn the game better. Bought the game at launch yet I still don't really know how to play the game.

# 500 ProfessaPackMan @ 12/29/15 10:09 PM

I actually bumped down the OBD slider for the CPU since I wasn't a beast on the sticks(pause)like 24 is. Knocked it down to about 30 and it's helped me out as far as being able to get pass the CPU without worrying about them sticking like glue.

Much better than leaving it as is knowing my skills aren't quite good enough to get past them with ease.
