R.I.P. Speed Boosting, you won't be missed....

# 5 Caelumfang @ 05/02/16 08:27 PM

No speed boosting and tuning down Break Starter? LMAO!!

# 6 KingTocco @ 05/02/16 08:27 PM

They nerfed break starter! Let's go!

# 7 Jrocc23 @ 05/02/16 08:27 PM

Wow. I am hoping you can still explode out of dribbles. But this might be amazing if the boosting back and forth is gone.

Breakstarter has been tuned. Uh oh lol.

# 10 iTofu @ 05/02/16 08:32 PM

Awwwwwwwwww ****! This is cool!

I honestly think 2K nerfed Break Starter so streamed games of the RTTF tournament didn't look like complete cheese.

It's great to hear that breakstarter and speed boosting have finally been reduced, but I wish that this patch had come sooner than the final weekend of Road to the Finals qualifying.

I guarantee you that 90% of the teams who have already qualified for Road to the Finals got there by abusing the breakstarter badge.

I don't play in those modes. But I've seen a few videos around of it. It's usually when the point guard has the ball. And he is doing that high dribble and is speeding by defenders (stuck in mud) Even defenders with 99 Lateral Quickness have trouble sticking to the ball handler.

The only way to slow the offense player down was to either foul them or bump them really hard (the hardest to do) or back up into the paint.

Just look up NBA2K 16 speed boost. You'll long videos on it.
