Spending more time downloading patches than actually playing these days...
I wouldn't have an issue with this if the patches were for gameplay fixes such as the psychic CPU defenders knowing the dribble move you're doing or even eliminating the Dan Marino bullet passes from the CPU into the paint. But hey, who am I? Just a sap that buys the game every year.
These patches are why I truly believe they need to leave the game alone for the 1st month after release. Let people ply, collect info and make a solid few patches after. Right now it's just knee-jerk fixes that break/remove other things. Remember how shooters used to set their feet when catching passes in the corner? Probably not, because they removed it with patch 1 or 2.
Next year play the game for a bit, provide constructive feedback, and, looking at you 2K, use that feedback and engage with the community before rolling out patch after patch.
They need to have a proper public beta test that runs for 1 or 2 months prior to the game's release for people to test all game modes with maxed out characters, and use that time to patch the hell out of the game before proper release.
Of course, there is no money in that so it definitely won't happen, and we'll all buy an unfinished and buggy game once again in 2K18.

I love monopolies.
Guys, you are talking about solid software/game development and 2k in one sentence, c'mon...
I'm surprised they patched the hopstep exploit so quickly. Could you imagine if they had patched exploits/glitches that fast two years ago? Putting that aside, it's very disappointing to not see any gameplay fixes in a matter of three patches in two days. I just don't understand it.
