NBA 2K15 Roster Update Brings Global Rating Changes to 3-Point & Mid-Range Shooting

Well Knicks Lance Thomas got screwed over this update. Now, he can't shoot threes, lol. The only 66 overall rated starter in NBA 2K15. This guy plays slightly better than that.

Again... Even Lance Thomas got boosted from the patch. This is just a way to counteract how the patch made him better. It shouldn't effect him too much more than how he was pre patch 4

Ok anyone with a F grade say 67 or lower now will be a 59 and will only be able to hit perfect releases or nothing? I personally have no problem with that because if they are rated that low they are not a "shooter" anyway. They are either a real non-shooter or have no business shooting jumpers at all.

I am more interested in the gameplay impact. Say the CPU deciding when to guard players or sag off also controlling Myleague ratings shooting scale.

The patch didn't just effect green releases. It also effected mid range shots going in at a higher percentage. Keep that in mind

NBA 2K15 roster updates arrive much more frequently this year. Whenever one is available, Mike Stauffer (bedwardsroy19) will provide us with the details.

Check out the changes for this mornings roster update below.

Since this roster update is sure to cause quite a bit of response, we are leaving this roster update topic opened. We will close it and hand out bans if things get out of hand, so please think before hitting that reply button.

Hey Everybody!

Here are the notes for today’s update:

• The Euro League Roster received a roster overhaul.
• 3pt and Mid-Range Shooting Ratings were globally adjusted based on shooting percentages from the newest patch (Every player had their Standing and Moving Mid Range and 3pt Shot Ratings decreased by 8 points) Due to these changes, in some cases the overall rating for players may be drastically different than it was before
• Sim Bhullar was added to the Kings

Hope everybody has a great Friday!

-Mike Stauffer (@2Kstauff)

Great job, haven't played yet, but glad to see tweaking is still being done, and new players being added so quickly. Adding players is so much better than it use to, I was wondering if Sim was getting added. Looking forward to trying it out, even though it means I have to redo my My League Roster that I backdated to opening night,lol.

With the patch they gave players a certain bonus to FG% for being open on jump shots and they also fixed all the releases. With this new change they just took away that bonus or the intended affect of that bonus. Basically they tried to balance it as much as they could. It should feel as normal as before.

There was nothing wrong with any of the releases. For patch 3 I played about 7-8 seasons with a Knicks franchise. Every one of my players could get a perfect release, they just were not common. You could see that ratings had an effect on green releases, which was a good thing. For instance, I was able to get more 3 point green releases shooting with Kyle Korver. I was also able to get more green releases from mid-range shooting with LeBron. However, it was more rare say with a 70 overall who was just above average at those ratings.

Patch 4 didn't fix green releases, there was nothing to fix. Instead 2K tweaked it so it became common to see any player make a green release and easier for that matter. For instance, a player rated 40 in mid range can get just as many green releases as the best player in the game at mid-range.

This is why a patch is needed to revert back to a similar mechanic patch 3 had. Rating changes such as this one will not affect whether a player gets a green release or not.

Very rarely did I see people complain here about patch 3 shooting. So why was the whole mechanic changed? Now most people have a problem with the shooting.

If you ever played on hof Sim you would know that over 70% of players were unable to get green releases

I cannot speak for HoF/Sim. However this was not an issue on SS/Sim and under. Furthermore, you're playing on HoF/Sim. You shouldn't be able to get green releases as other lower difficulties do, nor should that call for a major overhaul in all modes and all difficulties in shooting. HoF is HoF for a reason and that's not an excuse for changing the whole system of shooting, affecting more people in a bad way rather than a good way.

Re: NBA 2K15 Roster Update Brings Global Rating Changes to 3-Point & Mid-Range Shooti

I really don't like this choice... You should modify the gameplay NOT all the players... And what about the draft class auto generate ???

Still no word from 2K on draft class auto generate. I would also like to know. I doubt that can be fixed without a patch anyways to match roster ratings.

Have you played since the update man?

If not, why not just play and see if it improves your experience.? No use in going on about the possibility of it not working if you haven't experienced it....

Last question about editing MyLeague roster; can I globally edit the ratings, or do I have to go player-by-player?

Heading home now to DL the roster and play some NBA Today games.

Have to ask...Did you even use the Pacers? They were one of the teams who had quite a few glitched jumpers. Before the patch, Rudez was my best perimeter shooter. Post-patch, I feel that I can score and shoot enough with anyone to make the defense honest.

A global adjustment of -8 points doesn't make sense to me. They should have lowered by a specific percentage instead, that's more fair and makes more sense. Maybe 10% since that's what was adjusted in the patch.

So they update the roster now because of the Patch, now you know the Patch was a mistake. This is a bandaid fix ...

[Bigman101]

You can still shoot 3s with curry like its layups. Fix that please

For a quick fix for REC and The Park, can we get the difficulty put on HOF? I don't think a patch would be needed for that, would it?

Re: NBA 2K15 Roster Update Brings Global Rating Changes to 3-Point & Mid-Range Shooti

So in other words, us guys who play My Team are left screwed lol. Unbelievable.

Somewhat interesting since MyTeam is a moneymaker and it's the mode left most broken.

That fact may cause 2K to release a proper fix since lower value cards are as effective at shooting as higher value ones and essentially screws up the entire MyTeam valuation and economy from a performance standpoint.

Will this be a case of VC actually forcing a patch for the entire good of the game?
