NBA 2K16 News Post


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 makes me worried because something like that was exactly what I was afraid of when I read that they reduced contact lay ups

Has directional passing improved?

I downloaded and played the new patch on my xb1 and i was impressed. I like how they toned the offensive player movement down/speed down coming off pnr. I also like the fact i am seeing less offensive rebounding which has been one of my biggest pet peeve for over several years. 2k also did a great job in reducing the phantom steals/loose ball glitch or whatever you wanna call it because it was too overblown and unrealistic. I mean this is the nba not pop warner right? Lebron or any other superstar aint losing the rock with minimal contact ala 2k14 lol. I did notice some input lag online, but it couldve been my oppenent connection speed. 2 THUMBS UP 2K!!!

Nothing too major yet because its a small sample size...but i watched a few NBA Today games last night and it appeared that the point guards were doing the old "i'm going to drive and attack the basket if it's the last thing i do routine." I'm hoping this was just a couple of games because i hadn't noticed a lot of that pre-patch 4. Gonna fire up the One in a few and see if it's constant or not.

Noticed this against the Pelicans...the guards were driving like crazy and they all but ignored AD until the 4th. Was hoping this was just random and not the patches doing because AD was one of the more represented bigs in the game as far as touches. On the flip side, I played the Clippers and they were a lot more balanced.....they forcefed BG every time he was in the game...

I play with the Pelicans in MyCareer. If it wasn't for me feeding AD the ball, he would never see it. Before I became a starter, he was getting 10 points a game and 7 rebounds. At least he was still getting defensive stops

Wut? Since the release and after 4 patches I still have the rebounding sliders for both HUM/CPU at 65/35 (OFF/DEF) to achieve realistic offensive rebounds numbers.

Yea... I get it. But when I was talking about steals. It seems everyone can see all passes that are made. That same night I played a heat user who put Wade at point guard. And just drove to rim all game. Drive and drive... he had 20 at half. I went to the warriors small line up. Curry, Thompson, Iggy, Rush, and Green. I put Green on Wade (because he was scoring so much in transition). I played a lot of off ball on that match up vs Green. He didn't score another point for the second half. I started taking smart shots.... Game over... beat him by 15. After he was up by 15 at half. I know this sounds normal. I made adjustment to my game. And came out the winner. But I didn't have to do much playing.

I only played 1 online game bro,i was the cavs vs rockets so i could be wrong @fearwhatnow. I dont play it enough to see all of the glitches you probably see so pardon my ignorance.

It's not a PS4 issue, you guys literally don't get that both are these machines are the same as a mid level PC. The only thing that separates them(consoles) is memory type ddr3 vs Gddr5. Mid Level PCs spec lower and with less memory made by the same manf. "AMD" get the highlights. There is nothing exotic about the hardware, NBA LIVE, NHL, MLB, Madden does not have this problem. It is simply software code period and how it is written.

Has anyone noticed that they've seemed to have fixed the crowd reponses?

Directional passing feels the same.
 
# 178 barond57 @ 12/16/15 02:27 PM
Why can't 2k add a button that protects the ball? Say if you're in he crowd and you feel pressure coming from behind it helps you escape so you don't automatically lose it. Or if you're a big when you press it you keep the ball high so people can't spam the steal button to strip it from you.
 
# 179 MeloJello @ 12/16/15 03:08 PM
Passing is still a problem especially in Mycareer. Look at this there is no way this should of happen. I should be dunking this ball but look at this BS. And why I rarley see bounce pass in this game. Where is the bounce pass. IF affalo bounce pass I woould be dunking the ball. COME ON 2k.

 
# 180 The 24th Letter @ 12/16/15 03:13 PM
There's a button dedicated for bounce passes.
