Fixes Coming For NBA 2K17 Shot Timing, Pass Speeds, Moving Screens, Defense and More

  02:12 PM - October 13, 2016 by Steve_OS

Some more tweaks and fixes are coming to NBA 2K17. Gameplay Director Mike Wang, AKA Beluba, has posted some of the details on Twitter. Check them out below.

Quote:
Fair Warning: Shot timing will become more difficult soon. It's too easy right now cause I had to compensate for the shot meter glitch.

When I undo my band-aid fix, you will see a noticeable drop in the frequency of green releases, so enjoy them while they last.

Sharpshooters will be just fine. But nobody should be averaging 80+% from 3PT range.

Pass speeds, moving screens and defense are being looked at as well. And yes, we know about the Relentless Finisher issue. Will fix asap.

It's not going to be as drastic as some of you think. I'm just prepping you all that the timing band-aid is going away after XB gets 1.04

Just addressing those who are saying that shooting is too easy and FG% are too high. I'm aware of it.

That's the smart move. It's going to be hard to find a sweet spot if he can even find a sweet spot.

I can't remember the last time I saw the CPU try to break me down and take it to the hole.
They do it to me all the time. I just played Boston and Isaiah Thomas either drove on me or gave me the step back J if I backed off. Past 2Ks you couldn't get the CPU to shoot a midrange J to save your life. Do they shoot too many 3s? Maybe, but the numbers don't look wrong in the box score.

I barely ever have guys driving into the paint.
Nope no slider adjustments outside of the usual for field goal and defensive realism. Try against Toronto and see if Derozan doesn't try to get to the rim, or Westbrook, or any other star with mediocre jumpshot. Some of the tendencies could be better but I'm not having that many problems with them.

Rocking the good stuff over here. Seeing drives and pull-ups when appropriate. Just need that last defensive, spam pass into the paint and pass speed patch #SimWorldDweller

When are they going to fix the relentless finisher badge? This is so annoying, it's like taking away shooting from a sharpshooter...

Exactly, this made us go to overtime in pro-am yesterday because my last second layup got F rated over a 6'0 PG and it was timed really well.

Has the update dropped yet? The spam passes into the paint every other play are freaking killing me.

Why are my AI defenders so dumb?!? Knicks just scored 25 pip in the 1st quarter. .

I'm just wiping my hands clean of this game, I'm done. It's been real guys. Hope you get the game you want, eventually.

According to Mike Wang on Twitter, he's not changing anything anytime soon.

I returned the game after I found out the relentless finisher badge is broken again. Will play on a friend's account when a fix (another on) will be dropped to see if anythings changed. But something tells me that there will be another patch and it will ruin it once again. After being a loyal costumer I feel like this game is like a spit in the eye. "hey, let's make the fans happy and drop them an unfinished game early". To tell you the truth, I don't give a sh1t about my career, in my opinion the success this franchise has his its online features (and I'm not talking about servers/lags/constant disconnecting). If I knew that there was a lot of effort was put in My Park for example, I could have given it a break, but this.. Ain't won't 30 dollars. There were so many promises before the game dropped, Park at night? contests? fair matchmaking? And what I get is me being a useless slasher...

And that very exact publication has made me lost about my belief on 2k as a simulation basketball and their aim for now and the future.. Someone pulling the strings over 2k hqs.

It's ridiculous. You should play hide and seek, not basketball online. Haha
You returned the game and blame them because they don't give you the good online experience. Consoles and sport games aren't made, meant to play online. They should represent a simulation of the reality against the cpu. You are crying because a stupid online badge doesn't work. It's people like you that helps them to ruin the game for us offliners who wants simulation. I wish we'd have Madden community but NBA developers and it'd perfect. NBA community wants online fixes and Madden community wants offline Sim fixes. Jesus... Life ain't never perfect.

Ovisously you don't know what you are talking about so I'm not going to waste my time on you. I got the full amount of money back so go enjoy your game.

This. And PLEASE fix net/rim sounds. Can hardly hear them even on highest sound effect settings.

I feel u guys on all the complaints and all the shhhhh 2K has messed up in this game but keep in mind that they released the game really this year. Plus, the NBA season is 2 weeks away. Let's be patient. #2K4LIFE

Just because YOU can't shoot doesn't mean there is a problem with the game.

Wonderful target audience to gear towards 2K... I think we can all see what has happened to the " basketball sim" monicker.

The game has issues but flooded blanket statements are further issue. I've always said that testing should happen in CPU vs CPU to eliminate the human element either way (all is great or it's all broken comments).

I think they should player lock and test it. They'll be able to see how movement is and how the AI defends

Whats the difference between a tune and patch? Surely if the next update will be receiving huge gameplay changes, it will come in the form of a patch?

Hoping they take their time to be honest. These things cant be fixed in 1-2 days. Id rather have Beluba and his team take 2-4 weeks with this one. Defence, shooting, animations, speed, net/rim sounds, among other issues, all need looked at, and realistically, will take time to fix. My guess is that we will see patch 1.05 around early/mid November
 
# 139 creweutah @ 10/15/16 11:46 AM
If the devs ever read this, can they PLEASE have a look at the net/rim sounds among other sound effects. Even on 100 sound effect settings, my net/rim sounds are faint. This ruins the match experience imo. I know its not the number one priority, but I really hope its fixed come the next patch/update. Ruins the immersion. I wanna nail a three and hear that net rip, or when I dunk etc. Current sounds are completely screwed

At this point with our edits I would only like defensive AI, slight pass speeds & no other gameplay tweaked.
