Patch #3 Out Now (PS4, PC, X1)

any news when will this patch be available in europe?????

Idk if its just me but since patch#3 I feel this laggy jumpyness with the controls.. Sometimes I can tap the left stick forward and the player takes like three steps.. It was there before but it is even worse now..

Is it only on walk-ups? Cuz that's supposed to be the signature walk-up feature, it is buggy, yeah, but not game-breaking really

In some ways the patch improves the game, but in one big way it has ruined the game.

Before patch 3 I played three seasons this way. Bulls w/Jordan added - let all the Bulls game play CPU v CPU and simmed all other games. One season was 82 games, while the other two were 29 game seasons. Jordan averaged 30+ PPG in those three regular seasons and 35+ PPG in the playoffs. Opposing players like Lebron, Durant and others had big games against the Bulls. Durant had 47 in a playoff game. Lebron had 55 in a regular season game. Kobe dropped a 47. Jordan's biggest game was 68 points in a regular season game.

Post patch 3, in two seasons (29 games) and playoffs Jordan averaged 23 PPG in the regular season and 25 PPG in the playoffs. Jordan reached 30 points only one game each season, and only 2-3 times each season's playoffs. There are no more opposing superstar big scoring performances. Most games the opposing team's starting five all score around 15 PPG with an occasional 20ish game from someone like Lebron or Durant.

This is why I only played 2K13 and 2K14 for about two weeks each. 2K15 had superstar performances before patch 3. But now those are gone.

it's wreally game-breaking sometimes, when during start of the offence you release 'forward' direction on 3pt line but player is stil walking into 2-3 defenders near free-throw area and they stole the ball in result but U can't do anything. and sometime controls are very laggy, approx. 1-2 secs between the moment when the button pressed and action, just like in online mode. I think it's because of some actions doesn't interrupted by other actions (by changing dirrection, steal etc.) but queued up somehow or some stuff like that

CPU v CPU games - I let it play through 3 seasons prior to the patch. One was an 82 game season, two were 29 game seasons. Jordan added to the modern Bulls averaged 30+ PPG in those three regular seasons and 35+ PPG in the playoffs. Opposing players like Lebron, Durant and others had big games against the Bulls. Durant had 47 in a playoff game. Lebron had 55 in a regular season game.

IDK about CPU vs CPU games (am I wright that U start game but let CPU control both sides?) but when U simulating or playing games sometimes U just can't stop that deamed superstars. Just finished play-off, in CAVS in every game Irving had 25+ PPG (thanx to Lin ) and LeBron and Love average 20+ PPG in series (sometimes I stoped them at 20- thanx to Kobe, W.Johnson, J. Hill and Biyombo ). During series with GSW Curry and Thompson 25+ PPG avrg. and few 30-35+ games from any of them.
And no offence but if other stars had big games against Ur Bulls maby U had problems with deffence

I noticed in myteam the other team shoot all 3 pointers with a super quick release..

Yes, I switch to CPU for the Bulls, so it's CPU v CPU. I was not referring to any of the simmed games. I only let the Bulls go CPU v CPU. All the other games are simmed. There's still a nice mix of superstar performances from superstars in simmed games.

It's in the CPU v CPU games that the superstar performances disappeared post patch 3. Superstars sometimes score 30+ points. Lebron has seven 30+ point games in 21 Cavs games. In the game, post patch 3, it's down to almost never.

Prior to the patch, Jordan on the modern Bulls averaged 30+ PPG, Post patch 3, Jordan on the modern Bulls averaged less than 25 PPG. Basketball has superstars and superstar performances. Without those performances, the game isn't much fun. Where are the top guys, the superstars, the guys who take over games?

They were in 2K15 up until patch 3. Now they're gone.

MaxMBox, I had the input lag problem before and after patch so i guess i am just used to it a bit now, but yeah, walk-ups can be anooying, i didn't get my ball stolen yet but it will happen of course.

And about superstar performances, i disagree when it's Manual or even MyCareer. Z-Bo went OFF on us, Lebron went off on us (not my match-ups) and then John Wall went off on me while i went off on him, haha, i see a lot of SuperStar performances ( SOMEONE PATCH RUSSELL WESTBROOK OH MY GOD)

I still get stuttering unless I disable the sound.

the game crash at intro, when players are introduced one by one.. help.

problem fixed

STILL can't change the length of my Myplayers socks. The update seems to have glitched the cutscenes even worse than what they were before, with the other players mouths not moving and no audio dialogue being played. It's not completely gone, but FAR more prevalent now after the patch.

Going off one game while you're playing defense against them isn't the same as what players average over a few seasons.

MaxMBox, ... see a lot of SuperStar performances ( SOMEONE PATCH RUSSELL WESTBROOK OH MY GOD)

Yep, Westbook is IMBA. idk honestly how we passed Tunder in PO.

I got your point and maybe you're right. They fixed teammates work and maybe this somehow split offensive performance between all teammates in CPU vs CPU games also.

2 B honest this patch ruined a lil'bit more that fixed IMHO. yep maybe the patch fixed some gameplay things and made teammates' play more noticeable in MyCAREER but I can't change damned shoes now (gamedevs, R U serious??). I know that it's sound lil' geeky but shoes is the big part of basketball culture and that's why I'm not playin' MC at all 'till they don't fix that. cuz there is the All-Star Weekend in my MC, and I don't want to play Rising Stars and ASG in yellow Lakers sneakers even if this is my godlike signature Jordan Brand model I'm some kinda old-school fella in this case and prefer the same color scheme for jersey and shoes.

they fixed some things in MyGM that should make GM's live much easier but ruined (or don't fixed from previous time idk really but ruined is more likely) training intensity satisfaction especially during PO and I lost 2 players in the offseason because of that (I "broke a promise I gave..." and 0% morale and decline to resign during off-season consequently).

But they are trying to fix the game and make our game experience nearly perfect. So kudos to them for that and let's hope that they fix some major issues in nearest future

still no patch (

I just ordered a GTX 970. If I don't see improvements in the stuttering after this I will be royally P.O.'d.

Well it would still depend on your other specs. GPU isn't everything, and if your other specs are weak, the GPU could be bottlenecked.

My CPU should be up to the task, i5-3570k. I could push an overclock if needed, but doubt it is needed. I looked into seeing if my CPU would bottleneck the GPU before I spent $375 on a single GPU. I gotta admit though, it felt good to finally buy a GPU above the x60 range.

I upgraded to the 970 as well - it is amazing. 60 FPS on the highest settings. I had the micro-stuttering issues before, but no longer after the upgrade.

Will you release patch #4 which will fix myteam crash? Now this game is a crap, very bad quality and the biggest problem: myteam.

Who are you talking to?

To 2K?

"I got your point and maybe you're right. They fixed teammates work and maybe this somehow split offensive performance between all teammates in CPU vs CPU games also. "

I've run a number of games CPU v CPU in quick play. Bulls vs Bulls such as 90-91 Bulls vs 85-86 Bulls.

In a first round playoff game the 90-91 Bulls defeated the 86-86 Bulls 122-84. 90-91 Jordan scored 42, while 85-86 Jordan scored 37. I'm seeing a lot of 30+ point performances in these Bulls v Bulls quick games.

Out of curiosity: Are you awarded VC for these CPU vs CPU games?

The thing is we shouldn't have to power through bad code with raw processing 'horse power'. The first patch did make the game perfect for me. The second/third patches either upped the system requirements, or just broke some compatibility thing (particularity with GTX 600 series cards). The fact that setting everything to it's lowest, which looks like literal PS2 quality graphics, did not eliminate the stuttering has me betting on the latter.

Thing is I am buying this card for other reasons than NBA 2K15. Wolfenstein TNO and Shadow of Mordor on max settings is too much for my card. The difference is those games at max actually require 780's and 970's. 2K15 on PS4 runs 60 fps at max settings (well maybe not AA) and it's GPU is pretty much the equivalent of a GTX 570/GTX 660 in terms of GPU processing power and capabilities.

The patch is released in Europe now. Still no XBone release yet.
