11:14 PM - January 30, 2017 by Steve_OS

NBA 2K17 patch 1.08 is available now on the PlayStation 4. Once we confirm it is available on the Xbox One, we will update this post.

UPDATE: The patch is available now for Xbox One (2.7 GB)

UPDATE #2: Just got clarification, for those asking, 1.09 on PS4 is essentially patch 8.

Check out the patch notes below.

GENERAL

Fixed an issue that would cause some users to sit on the team logo screen during startup for an extended period of time.
Corrected a case where users were able to upgrade their MyPLAYER outside of the constraints of their selected archetype.
Fixed an issue that was preventing offensive strategies from running properly during gameplay.
Difficulty level for MyTEAM Play With Friends games has been changed to All-Star.
Fixed a case where some Grand Badges were incorrectly negating the effectiveness of other Grand Badges they should not have.
Addressed a hang that could occur during a Park After Dark event when leaving and re-entering the event.
Fixed a case where certain users would not appear in a MyCOURT owner�s �In MyCOURT� list, making it impossible for the court owner to kick them from the court.
In MyPARK, users will now have the default camera settings for their chosen camera angle, and will still be able to select the camera of their choosing.
MyPLAYERs are now able to attain an overall rating of 99.

NOTE: All patch fixes will work in your existing game mode saves unless noted otherwise.

In regards to the play now online. People wanted tiers. We gave you tiers. It's not a matchmaking bug. It's just a ton of people all wanting to play with the same team in a tier.

The feature was put in because users wanted to play with lower ranked teams and not have to face the warriors every game.

Now if we loosen that restriction and say this user only wants to play in a certain tier but NOT against this same team and no one is picking other teams then what you would have is wait times might drastically increase AND users would end up facing teams not in their tier.

Which fundamentally goes against the very design which was to allow users to play within a particular tier.

The real issue is that many many users are all still picking the same teams but the amount of other teams available has also shrunk due to the tiers themselves.

Any chance u could take the time to look in the the errors that are reported on the top of this page and on the previous page of this thread? The ones pertaining to the issue of not being able to load in to our own mycourts ever since this update...

We can join friends court, or a park that a friend is in, but no more mycourt or mycareer... We need to address this issue!!!!!!!!!!!! Please?

# 103 XtremeDunkz @ 02/01/17 07:27 PM

I am still getting stuck at the team logo screen after the patch........ is this serious right now?

I'm honestly not surprised.

After the last patch it seemed to me like the focus was make it stable and move on to 2K18.

The remaining instability has been in the modes addressed in this patch.

The A to actually exit. Immediately getting the message "there's a problem connecting to 2k servers..." From here on I cannot load in to mycourt or mycareer from my point guard, my other players work perfect... But my point guard, cannot get to mycourt or mycareer, getting the same A21468B6 error. HOWEVER I can still go to PLAY NOW from the main menu then PLAY WITH FRIENDS and join a friends park or a friends court with my point guard, NOT my own court. I've tried clearing reserved data multiple times, tried cancelling retrieving data and waiting for "update required" while in blacktop. Tried hard reset. Even tried uninstalling game and reinstalling game. To no avail. Also deleted my profile to have it re-sync from Xbox live cloud and still my point guard cannot access his own court!!! Can someone please help? Accidentally quitting the shoot around while searching for opponent seems to have broken mycourt for my point guard!! Keep in mind, if I join a friends court, I can still play walk on, team pro am, park, whatever... Except mycareer or access mycourt!!! Only for my point guard! My small forward and other players still work flawlessly. Only point guard is having this issue... Please help!!!

Go to Park with with the affected my player and purchase a boost.

Somehow a friend of mine cleared his issue after purchasing a boost in the park for the affected character. He was then able to access his My Court without error.

Has anybody figured out how to get your custom camera settings back at the park? Why was this even changed? Out of all the things wrong w this game why fix something that's not an issue?

But there is an option for custom matchmaking which allows you to play against teams outside of your tier, however even if you pick that option the game still matches you up with teams inside your tier. The custom matchmaking literally does not work.

I tried this, purchased a boost, tried going to my court but got the same error. So I came back in, bought another boost and played a game in the my park, then tried to go to mycourt and it did load, however it put me in the old warehouse mycourt which I should have the woodlands mycourt which I got from theirry Henry... Also I noticed I couldn't press A to see my career schedule... And when I press B and go to options, I only see SETTINGS and CONTROLLER SETTINGS... Nothing else... So it's a simplified mycourt... I tried changing settings in there for mycourt customization, and other settings to no avail. I'm currently trying to load in to my small forward and maybe change my appearance and see if that makes a difference...

This is absolutely ridiculous that I can't even get a response from 2k support... It seems all the money I spent means nothing to them... I'm thinking of making the switch to live like my friends have all done... This is way too frustrating...

# 109 Uzig718 @ 02/01/17 11:36 PM

Oh wow!!! I solved the issue!!!!!!

I basically had to do the attribute boost stuff TWICE!!!!

The second time I joined my friend in a sunset park, bought an attribute boost for just my 3 pt and for dunks/layup AND I bought 1x boost for ALL attributes... Then when I finished playing one game after I bought those boosts, I pressed the BACK or SELECT button, then the right trigger to see my friends list in 2k, and clicked on "Return to MYCOURT" and BOOM I was in the woodlands court that I had!!!! I can start mycareer now, I exited to the main menu and loaded back in to mycourt to confirm the issue is resolved... So buying the attribute boost, and playing a game in my park, allowed me to load in to my court... But I had to do it twice....

Join a friend in a mypark from the main menu
Buy attribute boost
Play a mypark game
Exit to mycourt through the friends list and click "Return to MyCourt"
Loaded in to a simplified mycourt with no options to go to mycareer or change appearance...

Exit to main menu
Join a friend in a mypark
Buy attribute boost
Play a mypark game
Exit to mycourt (Return to MyCourt)
And loaded in to my woodlands mycourt with mycareer options!!!
Exited to main menu and loaded back in to mycareer (or mycourt) to confirm issue is resolved!!!!!!!

Hope this helps others... This is a ridiculous issue to have to deal with in the first place!!!!

That seems much much MUCH better than having so many mirror games.

Hate to say it, but this is just incorrect. You have an option in the matchmaking menu to choose to match up with all tiers, yet when we choose it it does NOT work and only searches your same tier.

The option literally does nothing, and this is what we are all complaining about.

# 112 Afectar @ 02/02/17 11:36 AM

Anyone still taking 1min and 20 seconds to load into mycareer practice on XB1?

I'm only complaining because on ps4 it take 30 seconds. It's annoying the heck out of me.

# 113 Mintsa @ 02/02/17 01:09 PM

Czar,

It doesn't work man, it doesn't work.

How many PNO games have you played ? How many PNO searches have you done ??

When you choose default, it only selects teams in your tier, not a random team. I can't put it more bluntly.

Easy fix for next year, just have the option to search for opponent by tiers. No matter what team I use I can select a tier that I feel like playing that night. Easy, done. BUT IT HAS TO WORK !

So if I use Toronto, and get stuck in tier 1 with the warriors I can search for a game in tier 2, 3 etc.

Or if I use Philly and want to rank up, I can search directly in tier 1 and try to play for extra wins.

The original complaint I was responding to did not mention that. So my response was mean to cover the general issue folks were having and explain how the design works against what you actually probably are wanting to have happen.

You guys are thinking that option is supposed to do something other than what it actually does.

It doesn't mean it excludes your current tier it just means you CAN match with any tier but to other users who are searching for games YOU are still in their tier. So you still are likely to match with someone in your tier it just means more people are eligible outside of your tier to possible match with you.

This all depends on the pool of available players.

As a community you guys should start a thread and hash this out and boil it down to exactly what you want to see. Then lobby for that specifically.

Was tiers what you really wanted ? Was it better without tiers ? etc etc. IMHO of course.

# 116 blk5tar5 @ 02/02/17 01:51 PM

Well if what you�re suggesting is correct and 9 out of 10 you�re right most of the time there should be an algorithm in place were if you pick a team within a tier you shouldn�t be able to play against that same team. Thus helping out the masses of mirror matches.

Also the custom search only gives two options to play within the Tier you desire or play the default. I think what Mintsa put above is a good idea. Having a selection of if you want to play a Tier 2, 4 or 5 does give the user options but might have a longer wait time.

Is there any way we can have the regular old online ranked matches back? Just scrap this entire Play Now Online mode, please.

If not, just give us the option to back out of matches! That would solve all of this.

I have no dog in this race as an offline guy, but thanks for engaging on this.

And just saying hello.

I had the same problem as you did before this.

I tried this the other nite. It didn't take. Also tried in a dummy lg i created. It stayed on HOF for a day. Went back following day it went back. Ill try again. Thanks Fam

The foundation of the 2K series were all of the incredible features, customization, and presentations that no other game could match. We saw this with the NFL 2K series as well. I feel like since the switch to next gen, 2K has completely sold out of its original identity. Mycareer has been turned into a money grab machine. The quality of this mode dissipates incredibly after the first season. Generated rookies still look like Neanderthals with dumb accessories. Mycareer seems to be all about getting your player ready to go to the park. I believe this is a huge reason stat caps and dreadful archetypes were implemented. I do believe the overall gameplay continues to improve, however, what keeps us coming back for more is the substance. 2K becomes so redundant. Everything is predictable. And the theatrics of mycareer are almost cringe worthy. I don't think we want to be a character in a short film. I personally would like a dynamic story line that can change based on the way you play, act towards the media, and decisions off the court. I lose immersion quickly with this game. Even small things like having one body type for every created player shows a lack of attention to detail.
