You guys got the cheese out of the game but the MyPark gameplay is absolute garbage and not challenging anymore at least in my opinion.

Yea......... Smh... Learn to play basketball. My advice to you.

Played a game vs. the Cavs....me as OKC...Kyrie and LeBron were definitely still effective. I haven't played the CPU Cavs in a long time, so it may be old news, but I was surprised they actually got Love in the post a few times. LBJ was pretty quiet until the second half.

CPU Kyrie actually got me pretty good on this:

Got a good blow by with Russ, no idea why it's in slow motion, lol

IDK, to me, they still felt like the two clear fastest guys on the court.It was fun overall, biggest thing that stood out to me was HUM OBD vs the CPU...

What scary to me is that it may be the majority of players(especially online) and that they may complain with such vehemence for the next five months that what was tuned for this patch may be totally undone for 2K17.

I just brought the game again and installed it after waiting for everything to load and when it tried to connect to the server i got an error code. This is the code that came up. Efeab30c

I entered it on there site and it said error code already submitted. I can't seem to connect to the online server I'm not sure what i need to do next. I removed the game from my system. I don't know what else to do.

As an offline only player, I'm enjoying the changes. The speed of the game has definitely improved and I players move a little more consistently.

I think the problem of players not feeling 'athletic' enough, that's an animation/Skeltal movement issue.

No idea why I watched this but let's sum it up and save others some valuable time

This is a patch 6 rant

He didn't think 2k could do it, but they ruined the game. (He also has a video that says patch 3 ruined the game) that pops up when you watch this one.

He isn't mad about speed boosting, everyone knows he's not a cheeser, you can verify this by watching his old videos.

Follows that up by saying: He didn't start speed boosting until patch 3

'All 2k cares about is getting rid of cheesers', they dont care about My Park, only MYTEAM

5ft 9 outside point guard who is loving the new patch checking in. Never really had a problem stopping cheesers other when they have a big man stand at the 3 point line and screen and zig zag back and forth behind him, but now it's even easier.

They look totally lost, and given that the only time they could really get by you is zig zagging until you lag they are mostly rendered helpless.

Of course this is coming from someone who loves passing and using floaters etc rather than jacking up contested 3s so...

If you know how to drive, cut, and move off ball it's a paradise. Since none of them can figure it out, they collapse, kick out, 3 ball. They try to do Hesi 3, Stepback, Kobe escape, and miss due to stamina waste. It's hilarious to watch

Jesus the meltdowns are delicious. How about people just adjust and learn to play again....

I also like how people claim to be non cheesers but then go on a rant lol

Community is full of bums....boohoo I can't get an easy win anymore boohoo lol

Love the new patch! The speed boosting is dead cheese is dead! For you guys who complain about explosiveness, you must be playing with centers or don't know how to dribble.

For some reasons, it gets harder post patch. Not saying it's bad but i think i may have to readjust my game. I dont speed burst or do any cheesy things, im having problems defending the paint post patch. Any tips?

# 156 c333 @ 05/04/16 04:56 AM

This patch just teaches people how to play basketball (game), defend, pass and find good looks. If someone whines because 2K takes away ONE move then it shows what kind of player he is, very simple

I play park the most and I think it will encourage more new players to play there, since they now stand a higher chance to win if they play the right way, I see legend teams got beaten by pro teams (real ones not switched cities ones) all night, which is healthy in the long run

Not everyone that complains about it is a "cheeser". A lot of people are happy (like myself) that speed boosting is gone. But I don't like how 2K went about doing it by what it seems like completely removing a great animation that showed an explosion out a move. I am sure it was other ways for 2K to cut out speed boosting out of the Kobe size up and etc.

This is one of the animations I am talking about. I wouldn't call CPU Westbrook a cheeser for this move. It actually reminds me of a lot of PGs or other athletic players and this is actually easy to stop but sometimes you can get caught slipping if you're playing too close and not really paying attention like I wasn't in this video. I honestly see nothing wrong w/ this animation. Hopefully next year 2K can find a way to showcase that again and also not allow players to speed boost all around the court back and forth.

Why is it that since the patch when playing Euroleague Teams we get the NBA Playoffs Screen Swipe?

What's crazy is that the dude who's video was posted earlier with a tutorial on speed boosting, gets it, lol

https://youtu.be/HMR0yLm_uq8

People actually mad that you can't get unnatural boosts of speed left and right....

# 160 Smirkin Dirk @ 05/04/16 08:45 AM

Anyone else not know what the hell speed boosting is?
