I hate the way this franchise is going. All of its improvements are now about eradicating "cheese" as opposed to portraying real basketball. I understand that striking a balance is extremely difficult and basketball is probably the hardest sport to replicate, but truth is that NBA basketball has exploits. NBA Basketball has stuff that just doesn't seem fair.

Westbrook's speed, Stephen Curry's shot, Draymonds size and mobility on defense. All of those are essentially cheats in the real world. But in 2K they have to be tuned or eradicated for the sake of video game balance.

I do appreciate the continued work on the game, but I'll just wait on 2K17

Yea but it doesn't even impact the game in any way. I've seen guys turbo the entire game and one timeout gives them the ability to turbo the whole quarter. In real nba you don't see westbrook turbo past everyone every possession. In 2k you pretty much can turbo every possession. I want to see fatigue, you don't see that in 2k.

I just haven't seen it myself. You have to give players rest. Every time I play a person with Jordan. They always burn him. And his rating is 98 I think. I've seen guys do it with Harden. Just burn him out early. And then he never recovery the right way.

I mostly play in Myteam so I encounter it there. Recently I played a match where he only played his offense through j.r smith and never subbed him out.

He ran circles and posterized kareem on one occasion in the 2nd half. I just don't see how stamina is working consistently if games like this occur, where turbo dunks and 3s is the players bread and butter.

So uhh.... Ante-Up anyone? Lol

Went to the stage, won like 4 times at the 1k and once at the 5k.

Without the speed boost, these cheesers can't do anything.
I love the update.

I wish I could equip dunk packages and still do the crazy posterizers instead of unequipping all of them. But hopefully they do it in 2k17. Been having fun though nontheless.

After this new patch NBA TODAY menu still stuck in april 22 games schedule

# 68 Jrocc23 @ 05/03/16 02:51 AM

I don't have the patch because I am on X1 and like I mentioned I am just worried you can't explode out of moves anymore.

BUT I am anxious to see boosting being gone. It's going to expose a lot of people that thought they were good because they just boost everywhere lol.

So I also might be willing to hit the ante up as well. I can't wait for the Xbox people to be shocked when they can't boost. I just wish I could be in the party when every major booster realize it's over[emoji23]

Will it come out on PC ? I only see PS4/Xbox on the notes.

Man the patch notes look great. It will add a lot more variety to the park for sure, although pretty sure people will find new meta 'exploit' eventually. All the cheesers tears so glorious, thanks 2k.

# 70 Rockie_Fresh88 @ 05/03/16 04:47 AM

Lol at people trying to speed boost now . I haven't noticed a difference with break starter though

# 71 c333 @ 05/03/16 05:34 AM

We are here to witness the extinction of two species, guards shorter than 6 ft and cheesers

Boosting is not going to be taken out, anything that costs VCs stays lol

I am not talking about attribute boosting. I am talking about boosting out of size ups.

I've seen this so much lately. And this was early in the game. Once you get a players here. They need rest. I've seen Harden, Jordan and James just keep missing layups and open 3 they'd normal hit. It's especially hard to recover between quarters after getting it.

You guys change gamespeed, you guys change the shoothing, you guys changed park with the 3 sec and now you guys removed the speed boost which was 7 months part of the game. If you create a game think before if you want that or not but do not remove things after that long time which is a big gameplay part! Bann me or what ever ... 2k17 ??? HELL NO!

You will not be missed with such attitude . And yes speed boosting was a cheap exploit that made point guards way superior to any other position in park. Don't you think its a bit lame to build your whole game experience around single move ?

# 77 ballin2k0 @ 05/03/16 07:25 AM

great job with the patch.....i actually had some fun playing this game in myteam i got around 3 or 4 hours in and i didnt feel cheaped and cheated so much it felt like it rewarded my good gameplay unlike 99% of the 2k players online i always just play for fun and dont really care if i win or lose but could never really have fun because getting cheated every game is not fun at all

Yeah unfortunately this patch has unintended consequences on the base game. I can no longer break down defenders with Lillard. I never play the park and don't care to. Wonderful that its downfalls have ruined the core game.
