Increasing VC prices? Hold up, Homie.

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?
Sent from my iPhone using Operation Sports
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.

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.

Wow, that's embarrassing. I meant decrease of course. Hopefully, I don't get banished from the 2K community for that.
But how do we know that they aren’t being rushed to finish this game early? The game used to come out in October anyway. I’m just saying rushing usually only causes more bugs.
Lol...I figured it was a typo.
The bugs are noticed by the Community, so moving release date back just means longer time before issues are fixed. Your have a lot more eyes combing thru the game with Community Members.

There's no way they fix tendencies or balancing of the classes... they'll fix the left foot bug though
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.

What's broke about the shot meter?
That's a ton of work for the community to expect from them year after year when these things can be addressed on the design side.
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.
What issue was bigger than the framerate?
I don't think I could disagree more with the part in bold. The gameplay in 2k18 is spectacular.
That is likely a server-only change needed and nothing to do with a game patch.
LMAO that you don't think they are working tons of overtime already
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.
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
Wish the forum had a dislike button so I could press it 100 times for this post.
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?

Speed edits will greatly improve the blow by issues.

Let's go boys !!!!!
Media day just happened today if you really expected art to be updated before then shame on you
I wish they'd let us edit height/zoom with the regular broadcast camera, since they took away the broadcast generic that many used.
Huh?
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?
Tried tweet Ronnie/Chris/Mike Wang, no response at all.
I have tweeted 2K support a lot of time, they just keep ignoring me. It has been a week. I'm frustrated.
It's like we are not customer, we are beta-tester.
Sorry for posting complaints here. It's just suck.
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

And 2k
Doesn’t need to release patches to update cyber faces they can do it through roster updates

I'd rather have them do it in patches so that it can carry over into MyLeague's rather than being exclusive to that roster update.
wow they are too slow to release it.. they hurry up to release it before My Cowboys game begin at 7:30pm
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.

Oh I agree.... but this has been a problem for years, they will not fix this and will rely on the fact that we can download custom classes.
I can´t remember them being this overpowered.
And this is a tuning thing, not really a bug, so I assume this to be one of the more "easy" fixes.

LOL you just cant please some people, they added it because people complained about not being able to see prior to upgrading.
I know why they added it, and it's good, but I don't believe that they didn't consider this to be a feature in the game during the design phase.

I'm glad they added this in but you still CAN'T see which category upgrades your On-Ball Defense, Pick and Roll Defense etc. and by how much. Some categories are still hidden.
I'm guessing their ratings are just a calculation based off your steals/blocks/lateral quickness levels?
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.
Disappointing.

Patch 1 was the dsay one patch, they gerneal dont release those note, patch 2 seemed to not have done what it was intended so no notes.
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.
It's a patch, it's going to disappoint someone. It can address 10,000 things, but it's the 10,001 thing that's the "game killer" 😅😅😅 #JordansTongue

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

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.

It really shouldn't be, 2K17 was native 4K and ran perfectly smooth.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!!
I just checked this and it seems it's been fixed! I have to play some more tomorrow, but as of now, thank you 2K!!!!!
Now let's work on the court lighting so all courts are as bright as the Lakers and Warriors (and add reflections). :y220b:

I have a Pro, and plan on buying my first 4K TV soon. Are you saying it doesn't run smoothly??
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.

Cleaned out dust and changed the thermal paste. Every other game is quieter except this game.
Thanks for the frame rate fix I put everything back to normal and it's all good..

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...

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.

Did they at least make it so people can't equip elite dribble moves and contact dunks despite not having the stats for it this patch? Because that was some hot bull**** last night.

Also, I remember this same update required box pop up alot last year while i was playing a game and it wouldn't go away until I went to the main menu (which was so annoying btw), but are all these "update required" notices patches? I was always unclear about that.

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

I doubt it, but they are getting some serious backlash from it. Only time will tell. Best case scenario is that they reevaluate the business model for NBA 2K19.
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.

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.
If it’s not in the patch notes I doubt it was touched. You probably ran into someone with sliver or higher break starter.

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.

Naw I’ve seen a ton of this since the last patch. When the game first came out I was laughing at all the Long passing that didn’t get caught or the player had to stop to catch the ball but now I’m like 😶.
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
