Some people don't understand the definition of an exploit smh

Anyways, you know you've got a great patch when people are so mad, they break their discs.

[found on Twitter, not my messages]

I'm on XB1 and can't get on now, but maybe I can finally go back to the park now on there. Thank you 2K/VC!

I have seen patch 6 gameplay and it looks LAME 😳

I'm not even an abuser of speed boosting but to not even be able to naturally launch out of a dribble move... 😳

I feel like I can still launch out of moves fine...

I feel like all they removed were unnatural bursts

The dribble moves make perfect sense. I can still break down defenders and blow by people by playing the angles instead of doing random moves with no purpose.

So what are these updated player portraits?

Movement looks so slow.

To those complaining: If you can't dribble without the speed boosting you're just not a good dribbler. Speed boosting required no skill at all. People complement me on my dribbling all the time and I avoid speed boosting as much as I can. You guys might want to try playing actual basketball instead of the Kobe sizeup back and forth cheese. Yes, even in park playing real basketball wins games.

# 91 daveberg @ 05/03/16 10:19 AM

Lol, all this mess. So glad I only play offline.

Though it SUCKS that they nerf aspects of the game across the board which has a direct impact on sim guys who don't use these moves as exploits. They did it with the passfake drive and the spin move to the point they're totally useless now.

Thanks cheesers. Thanks for forcing 2k to patch out stuff that actually comes in handy when used in the correct manner.

I've seen people say this who absolutely sucked at it or couldn't defend it at all so they bash it in some kind of way (not saying that you cant). It wasn't hard to speed boost but there were definitely levels to it. If it was so easy everybody would be on the stage player level of speed boosting and that's far from the case. It was a lil more to speed boosting than just spamming the kobe escape.

On another note patch 6 just really takes us back to patch 1 when folks were using size ups like Jamaal Crawford, Steph Curry etc to create space. I'm sure a lot of folks will be just fine with the changes after they make the proper adjustments.

This seems to be the current trend with 2K now. Offline gamers don't matter in the least bit.

Their game play "fixes" have done nothing all year but make the game pretty much awful for offline players.

I've bought every 2k since the original for dreamcast. They sucker offline players in every year with great game play out of the gate, then a month or so later they make the game how they really want, for the online crowd. This game is an absolute mess from where it was at release.

I'm gonna take all the hype and announcements for 2k17 with a grain of salt, we're going to just repeat this same process next year.

Xbox users have to wait once again tho...

# 96 Hustle Westbrook @ 05/03/16 11:08 AM

Lol cheesers are pathetic. They're crying and threatening to not buy 2K17 because they can't use an exploit anymore? Good riddance, go play the other game.

Exactly!

For people who actually understand the game of basketball, dribble moves are more effective when you use them properly.

The only people complaining are the ones who prefer "arcade" style basketball. I haven't had a chance to check out the game post-patch, but if the game is more "sim" style basketball, I'm going to love the new path.

I really don't get the complaints...it fixed an exploit, it didn't take away bursts of speed alltogether.....this is a bad thing? Game feels a lot better online and offline imo

I mean, at least play first....everyone has a 'Bah 2k' speech prepared without even experiencing the changes....if you aren't feeling it after that, then that's fair....
