NBA 2K16 Patch #4 Available For PlayStation 4, Xbox One & PC - Details Included

[2kNerd]

Don't know what changed...but something has.

Notice little stuff....suddenly I can't make shots. I miss so many wide open shots, it's unreal. Meanwhile the CPU throws up crap...and it goes in.

Sooooo many more backdoors layups. It ruins everything.

I feel like I've lost control of my defensive players. Passing is worse...and something is wrong with player movements. I'm having trouble getting into freelance offense...and players are moving around like they have never played basketball.

MC feels more "random" now, I don't know. Contested shots go in and wide open shots don't. Good releases brick and bad released go in etc. Movement feels also weird. It feels like movement is almost back to 2K15 levels, as if the speed is set to 60 or 70. I'm having difficulties doing smooth directional changes now (f.e. running around a pick etc)... Not sure why. But anyhow, having to adjust to those changes after every Patch/Update is kinda tiring.

It's amazing how every patch/update is the best for some and the worst for others. I feel exactly the opposite of how you do about the game now.

The game feels the same to you as it did on the 15th? (or whenever patch 4 came out for the X1)

Because I completely understand where you're coming from, but I'm also seeing the same things as 2knerd.

6 days ago, I could feather the left analog stick to stay with the man I'm guarding. Move in to pressure when appropriate, but giving a reasonable amount of space to cut off angles but still contest a jumper.

I played 2K16 for the first time today after a few days off from it, and when I feather the left stick now, my defender doesn't respond as quickly. The input def isn't 1:1. It feels like I'm fighting him, and dragging him to his man. When I finally get him turned around and in position to defend, it's like the floor turns to quick sand on that spot that was so very difficult to get to...

The CPU is running around me at will. My teammates refuse to get into the freelance, and the interior defense has vanished.

The issues are so very potent in MC. I agree that patch 4 was wonderful, but the games I played today didn't seem to have the effects of patch 4.

It's seriously a riddle trapped in an enigma.

What's misleading about this thread is that it seems like some folks are hopping into it late, thinking what they might be seeing now is representative of patch 4. But it's not.

When I posted these...

I don't feel the need to switch to someone to play responsible D. I'm eager to see how that plays out in MyCareer later on today. 1 criticism is that I saw the ball teleport thru Faried's body when I drove w/ Steph. It would be nice if it wasn't in the game, but it is. What you gonna do tho, ya know? I'm not gonna harp on that.

...I obviously wasn't having any issues w/ patch 4. But today, I absolutely saw what 2Knerd & Meccs alluded to.

The last two patches have killed the defense for me. The athletic movements and leaping ability you once had are now replaced with 200 pound weights for feet

[jfsolo]

Just a couple of little plays of how I feel more in control of my defender than I used to be

I agree with you, I like the game much more with patch 4. It took a minute to get my sliders readjusted to the changes, but I think the game is better now than it has been.

Sick of seeing offensive players get speed boosts to pick up a loose ball after I knock it loose. What the hell man?
