    Nice.
    Pretty solid patch for the game having released not even two weeks ago. Especially for MyLeague guys.

    No mention of increasing VC prices? Cool. Guess I'll be "grinding" out this VC in MyLeague in the meantime.

    Increasing VC prices? Hold up, Homie.

    Nothing here on MyGM/MyLeague draft class talent balancing, player tendency fixes, the left ankle injury bug, or player salaries and team salary cap balancing over time.
    That doesn't mean there's been nothing done. It's just those are the areas off the top of my head that guys here have said need work.
    Gonna need some testing after the patch drops.

    Blah. No mention of Pro-AM arenas being difficult to get everybody into, and having to send squad invites twice every time.

    This. Hopefully it's just one of those fixes that doesn't need to be mentioned, along w accesories for Pro Am. Why on earth would that option be removed 2K?

    Solid, solid, patch. Just the beginning, but if they keep accomplishing as much in each patch going forward, we're looking at a pretty complete game come New Years, maybe every as early as late November-mid December.

    I'm going to stop you before you get your hopes up, then they get crushed later. Looking at the notes, it looks the framerate issue was their top priority. They're betting on that the new gameplay will carry most people until they release the "mega" patch.
    For example, PNO players only have to worry about VC earning now.

    I would rather they push the game back to October next year. They could use the extra month to fix some of these ridiculous bugs.

    All you're doing with this suggestion is moving the development timeframe. How much time they have to work on the next game doesn't change unless they start forcing developers to work overtime.

    The September release probably affected NBA 2K17, because 2K16 was release in October. However, it would have been a normal development cycle from 2K17 to 2K18. It would be like your boss suddenly telling you that you're going to work 8AM - 5PM instead of 7AM - 4PM to get more productivity out of you.

    That is great those were a lot of my complaints. I hated that on MyTeam my settings would also go back to default. Which made it worse when I didn't notice auto timeouts was on which would suck for the framerate bug.
    I also just notice last night when doing some drills that the balls wouldn't be picked up when they jumped out of the ball machine which would end the badge drill and you would get no progress.
    And of course thank god this framrate bug is supposedly fixed.

    Still and incomplete game. The Gameplay suffers big time because they refuse to fix the biggest thing that hampers the end users gameplay. Contrary to this false narrative about not touching gameplay, they need to touch it with all hands on deck.

    What issue was bigger than the framerate?

    Game play is Great... All 2k needs to do is make some roster updates, especially to their player tendencies and badges. I have yet to talk to any roster maker or editor who doesn't agree with the proper edits the game is by Far the best ever in the Series.

    They need to fix the driving to the basket. Unless you're using like Kawhi Leonard to guard a guy, its literally 9/10 times you'll get blown by. Its only manageable now in MyTeam (where I mostly play) because people don't have access to highly rated shooting bigs. Once those start, the 5-Out with the ballhandler easily running through the defender to the rim uncontested will be ridiculous.
    I personally would like it if you needed to be running at near or at top speed to blow by people. As it is now, every fast player automatically blows by you on their first step even when you're standing in the direction they're running

    Hoping a dev or someone in the know can answer this.
    I have a MyGM save that I'm about 12 games into. The two fixes that say "new save" required, I get that this initial class of prospects may be screwed up, but will it be fixed in Year 2 and beyond in my current save? It would seem that it would be the case since prospects aren't generated until the new season is started. I can live with one year of potential issues if it's fixed in future years.
    Or is it forever and ever messed up in my current save?

    No art patches. Not shocked. Art is #297 on list of importance for 2K.

    Media day just happened today if you really expected art to be updated before then shame on you

    There are framerate issues that need to be fixed offline. Playing on broadcast low, when shooting and the ball hits off the rim, there is a distracting framerate jitter or something going on. It's usually in this view, and happens more on this part part of the floor while shooting 3'd from the area where Parker is.

    I wish they'd let us edit height/zoom with the regular broadcast camera, since they took away the broadcast generic that many used.

    So guys' wingspan, legs, torsos being way off is excused by today being media day? Did these guys grow longer arms over the summer?
    And a lot of these guys (Brogdon, Randle) have had different hair styles for a few years now, yet they stay the same in the game.
    And what does media day have to do with court lighting being too dark in most arenas? Or lack of floor reflection?

    Offline is okay, when you play online and people are using Westbrook to just charge and blow by all defenders and help defenders (save a Kawhi like I mentioned) MyTeam online is tedious and boring. The meta for the mode is to just use preorder Kyrie or Westbrook and charge into the paint (and because they're running its an automatic blowby even if you position your defender to block the optimal drive path).
    Like I said, once higher rated cards come in, the 5-Out offence is going to be seen far and wide. For right now its somewhat manageable because sapphire Westbrook can't shoot, but once a moments card comes through its game over for the balance online

    This game is broken. All people do online is left right, left right to exploit the games lag to get open and then shoot. That makes the online portion of the game unplayable.
    Its terrible that 2k didnt prepare for such an ambitious game like this. Lag makes online play unrealistic and unenjoyable. Not to mention the "ride the hip" animation is an expliot. I see what 2k was trying to do but it was a poor attempt

    Yes, the light of the courts (for me) must be a priority. This is the third year in a row that we have this “problem”, for that reason I’m not confident on a fix.

    Draft Class balancing is a must.
    It sucks to adjust the Rookies, because you see their Attributes - it makes Scouting irrelevant.
    Still like the other fixes though.
    And the best thing on this Patch: No Gameplay changes :woot:

    To be fair, 2K16 had really bad court lighting. But they improved it for 2K17. But for whatever reason, they took a big step back again.

    I'm guessing their ratings are just a calculation based off your steals/blocks/lateral quickness levels?

    So... guessing CAPs will be fixed in the next patch?

    Really hoping so because I just can't get into MyLeague with the way that the system is currently set up. The lack of face customization is down right embarrassing for a sports game in 2017. We're basically choosing players instead of creating them.

    What do you guys think the chances of 2K addressing the VC situation are in future updates? I normally would think 0% but they already changed haircut prices.
    If they gave everyone 50k VC added to their account I think that would go a long way, would get some trust back from consumers and wouldn't really break their bank too much.

    For some reason this (and 2k17 last year) is the only game that does not download its patches by itself. Anyone else have this problem or know how to solve it? It is infuriating when I sit down to play 2K and it's like "oh hold up, you need to download this 4 gig patch first". Wouldn't be so bad if 2K's patches were normal sized but they are always several gigs large.

    Thanks for testing earv!.. Can you confirm if the stadium shaking thing is by design in close games as the road team or if it was apart of the framerate glitch.

    Framerate still dropping on the Playground.... I’m not gonna buy a PS4 Pro to fix this mann this is crazy. Maybe this neighborhood stuff was just too much.
    It took them awhile to fix Old Town last year I believe ain’t no telling how long it’ll take them to fix this...
    Plus me and friends still split in lobbies. :/

    Omg thats crazy my friends told me it was fixed but they were probably in a server with low number of people 30-40 instead of 70.
    2k if you cant fix it ,limit servers from 80 to 50-60 people.

    Did they fix the parachutes that come down late in the game after you call a timeout?

    Haven't read through the entire thread, but what's the concern with the parachute prize drops for the crowds? I know it's a minor detail but that's one of my absolute favorite aesthetic implementations this year.

    The white mark that was on the screen on the PS4 Pro version is gone.

    Looks like it's gone during gameplay, but still is visible during the actual timeout scenes.

    Frame rate is actually worse when playing offline on the 2K Low camera on PS4 Pro smh. It's pretty much unplayable now. What's going on 2K!

    It was already bad on Broadcast Low (offline as well), especially when the ball is coming off the rim on misses...shooting from the right corner side of the 3 pt arch especially.
    It's like a hiccup in frame rate, or the camera moves real quick. But it's so annoying!

    This issue would be fixed if they allowed us to play the game at 1080p/1440p or checker boarded 4k.
    Native 4k is too much for the ps4 pro.

    I really wish they would've fixed the left ankle/foot injury bug. It's insane how many injuries I was seeing in my games before I turned them off. I feel like MyLeague the only game mode I can play right now since I can turn the injuries off.
    I can't believe people aren't making more noise about this issue. Is it because it only becomes so apparent in 12 minute quarter games?

    It runs smoothly for a bit till you get pop-in notifications stats. Game has some frame-pacing issues when it's not hitting its 60fps.
    This is the only game that is super loud playing native 4k.

    I can confirm the MyLeague Sweet Cookie VC glitch does not work anymore.
    I did the glitch and gained 0 VC out of it.


    Tried all variants, but didn't work for me either. We knew it would eventually happen, but still sad. At least I could improve my player to a 79 before it was completely patched. Oh well, I'll have to be content with gameplay being consistently good which has been the case so far, crossing fingers...

    Thats a decent patch so far. Haven't tried playing at the playground and see if they really fixed the frame drops.
    Now with the added attributes screen, you can now save a ton of VC on "upgrading" attributes that stay the exact same

    Just saw the patch notes and looks like the patch didn't really do much. Didn't improve CPU and time outs or CPU substitution. Looks like it didn't fix the injury bug that causes guys to get injured like they are playing NFL instead of basketball.

    Park is still awful as it was before this patch.
    Only thing that has changed is that they removed another way to make VC from MyLeague quick, but in return didnt bother to fix issues where you are not getting any VC or randomly lose 200-300 VC after a game.
    Waste of download bandwidth.

    What system are you on? PS4, here. I've noticed the missing couple of hundred and thought it was tax. Then I realized they don't tax you in here. Noticed only three times because I was low on it beforehand. I wrote them a ticket. I'm not even mad because I'm too busy having a ton of fun with the game...

    I'm generally in your boat when it comes to most games having a few bugs here and there, but they've basically made it impossible to play MyLeague. I don't think I've ever seen so many bugs within one game mode before.

    I hate bringing it up, but I'm really getting tired of my player jumping up in the air after making a basket, and if it's not the player I'm controlling, it's someone else. This has been going on since 2k15. Do the devs really not notice these little things?

    More time than it ever should be put on a gamer. If you played 2k back in the day before VC upgrading could be done easily within a day or two. 6-10 hours max. You'll have to go way over that to even get near what you could compared to the old games. IMO

    This is the way it should be. Maybe a little bit harder, but it IS a game at the end of the day.
    It's funny when people say "it's realistic that you should grind, rookies in real life only score about 5 pts a game". I feel like saying "don't you buy games for fun?!". What happened to us man. Imagine getting sliders for Sonic the Hedgehog to slow him down to a realistic speed because he's too fast
    At least 75% of the game should just be you having fun and enjoying free fun play. 25% grinding seems enough to enjoy the game still. This game (if you have no VC) is like 95% grinding in MyCareer mode

    They need to find a medium. It's all about balance. No I don't wanna be a 99 after 50 games but being a gamer I simply will not exclusively play this title to play the 200 plus games required to even reach the mid 80s. There's has to be a balance between realism and fun factor. I mean how realistic can the mode be when a guy named DJ gets an NBA tryout based off 3 pickups games to 21.

    This patch definitely killed long passes in Pro Am. Back to how passing was in 2K17 which is a shame.

    Just curious if these are the type of long passes that you're referring to? The following isn't from Pro-Am, but just regular NBA offline games. I was simply testing to see if long outlet passes were possible this year. And the same transition outlet passes continue to thrive because the transition defense still remains a massive legacy 2k concern. The transition defense is essentially powerless against the transition offense. Yes, it doesn't work all the time, but the amount of successful long passes is still far too high based on how 2k codes the transition defense and transition offense.

    I was loving the fact that people were doing a bunch of turnovers trying those long hail marry masses or constantly trying to thread the needle. In previous 2k's my teammates took advantage and I hated it, even though we lost a couple games in Pro-Am because of turnovers I liked the fact that stupid plays weren't being rewarded.

    Game play is Great... All 2k needs to do is make some roster updates, especially to their player tendencies and badges. I have yet to talk to any roster maker or editor who doesn't agree with the proper edits the game is by Far the best ever in the Series.

    Agreed, from a gameplay standpoint, its never been this good. Im frustrated at not seeing shooting fouls on 3pt attempts, or really any shooting fouls on the perimeter, but outside of that, gameplay is amazing.

    I play a lot of PNO and Pro-Am and just don’t see it I have only seen it one time with a center that had Gold break starter I agree even with badges it shouldn’t be that easy but I’m not seeing it and to say the “patch” effected something gameplay wise when they haven’t made a change to anything gameplay in the notes I doubt the touched anything
