NBA 2K15 Patch

[formx]

Once again you are trying to make some retard person from me

Judging by your later content in this post, one could assume you as so.

but i can assure you, i know what spamming means and how much negative it is but also want to assure that i will spam Ronnie profile not because new problems with 2k15(its a new game, we are waiting for patch right?), i will do this because through last 5years i spend 150$ on their games with multiplayer mode implemented and i never played one game without some problem, there was years where i just cant play, so bad their net code was. You are from States and u think its a whole world, ask guys from Europe. Lags, loosing connections, low quality graphics all the way.

First off, spamming someone's feed in general is pretty fucking pathetic. Venting your frustrations towards something that is perfectly fine, but when you go on someone's Twitter and post the same shit on their feed won't help towards the cause and instead makes things worse.

Now talking about the netcode issue. The servers in my honest opinion for the previous games before 2K15 (At least for PC) were a pretty unpleasant experience all around at least in my experience. IMO at least for 2 or 3 online games I played for 2K15 PC, I didn't really have any lag. (I can't vouch for any other players though)

So what you think? can i be little badass and spam his profile?

Nobody can control what you can and cannot do, but you can be assured that nothing good will come out of it.

I'm happy with the game thus far and of course some kinks need to be worked out that's part of the process and I know they can't catch everything but I wonder if the devs really test their game before even considering building all this hype because 2K is slowly making their way down the road that is Obsidian with the Fallout series and their bugs.

[TheRocket]

Dunno about pc but on ps4 this game rocks. Best NBA 2K ever, really enjoy playing it.

[ThePointForward]

I feel the same about PC version, servers been working like a charm here in Europe, but hey, I understand that some people might have problems, that's a price for having an open platform.

[TheRocket]

Right? And i don't understand that constant whining and crying about the game, like i play some different version of the game. Everything seems so fluent and beautiful, so many different mods, options, graphics are better than ever, just as gameplay. My guess is that these people who whine all the time just can't enjoy the game, they are just waiting for some error or something unrealistic to happen and just look at the bad sides even if there are many good sides. I really enjoy this game

Maybe 2K should announce when they are going to patch this game

[Donatinini]

To me, skoadam seems to be in his customer's rights. Being respectful is an option for moral persons.

Anyway, I don't wanna pay half an apple the price of a whole apple.

Honestly, I can imagine how hard and painful it is for devs to make a deep and complete game works perfectly and released before the NBA season, but hey, 2K has sufficient skills and money to make it irreproachable.

I think those kind of products now begin to be really demanding in terms of development and therefore can't succeed release phase until they don't go for beta phase. But it means for 2K to not scorn PC players. Prob is, we are not the most interesting market for them, so it is quite comprehensible. I don't blame them, they run the business like they should.

About the patch, we will have to do it by our own, like always.

[Kevin]

Think positive. 2k will release a patch soon.

[ThePointForward]

To me, skoadam seems to be in his customer's rights. Being respectful is an option for moral persons.

Oh, he has every right to be dissatisfied with the game if it doesn't run well/as promised.
And he has every right to say that he's unhappy with it and to ask for a fix.
He just bought the game and he cannot play it as well as he imagined. I understand his frustration.


But when he does it the way he did (flooding and spamming twitter account) others have every right to tell him that how wrong and naive his "plan" is and what he could and should do instead.

Being respectful is not only an "option", but usually makes things done [faster]. If he just provided tech details of his stutters instead of spamming Ronnie's twitter account, the core engi that asked Leftos for help would have one more detail to go on. And when you're dealing with an open platform like PC is, every single detail helps in narrowing down the cause of the problem.

[Nick]

It's not about right and wrong, it's about maintaining a positive relationship between our community and the 2k devs for the purpose of creating the best possible NBA simulator we can, together. I'm assuming everybody here wants that same purpose. If we want that, then you should take note of my suggestions on page 1, because spamming 2k twitter accounts will work against said purpose.

[skoadam]

So u are playing online without lags, game is smooth in online matches? Whats your country? Norway?

Im not naive, im frustrated. From 5days im watching box of 2k15. Can many of you guys, without any single problem with this game, put yourself in position of others with maaaaany problems with this game? Even with much higher specs than mine and yours? If u cant just stop post moralizing posts.

Correction : He cannot play it as well as it supposed to be.

But anyway, I got nothing against your point. Flooding is childish and improductive, I didn't mention it because first it has been said, and secondly because it's obvious. I was defending the idea of a legitimate complaint.

Fair point

[centrifugal]

I think almost everyone is exaggerating

The whiners who think that flooding / spamming someone's account will make themselves heard. That would just be annoying. A little courtesy and kindness never hurt anyone. I know it sucks to pay money and not have a product 100% ready, but you can complain in a civilised manner and just not give them your money again if they don't fix it for you. I do think it's actually kind of silly to buy games day 1, full price. Especially the price for the PC version was ridiculous this time. Console games are expensive because Sony and Microsoft want their cut... why does a game cost so much through a download service?

Bighort also exaggerates when he thinks that this is the reason why companies don't make games for PCs. As if console gamers don't whine. I'm sure console gamers are all civilized intellectuals with a rich vocabulary and a positive behavior.

Leftos I think is also a bit over the top when he says that he is sadenned by these calls to action... We're in the internet age. People used to whine before the internet age. Now they can do so without even showing their face. Whatever you do, no matter how good it is, someone will whine about it. No need to be sadenned really. There are far more saddening things taking place on planet earth right now. People in middle east are beheaded, people in Eastern Ukraine have had their cities demolished and their people killed by their own government, people in Africa die from Ebola.

It's just a video game. A video game we like very much and want to see it become better. But that's just about it.

[Sman21]

Havent got the game yet.
We get ripped off here in Aus so ordered from international company.

Looks like alot of people with high end pcs are having problems.
In another PC game i play there was a lot of complaints about micro stutters and stuttering etc.
Took the devs ages to finally pinpoint the problem.
It was caused by overclocked pcs.
So if anyone has a high end computer, that is overclocked and suffers those problems, try going back to stock speed settings and seeing if it solves the issue.

The beta testers probably just test on a wide range of standard unmodified pcs.
Thats why they dont find the issue.

Could be a completely different issue but wtf its worth a try

I have an overclocked 4 year old cpu (i5 3570k @4,6hz) and I have no issues whatsover with the game, so overclocking is not the issue here for sure. No micro-stuttering whatsoever and I am fully maxed out and gaming at 1440p resolution. Constant 60 fps. Except for SSD (850 pro samsung) and VGA (GTX 980) everything else in my system (mobo, ram, cpu) is 4 years old and even back then the i5 3570k was not considered high end cpu (it was the best overclocker of that series, but nowhere near high end). I hope that these complaints that you cannot run the game on printers and shit will not lead to some serious downgrade in future, since the game is looking sick. So far from true high end users I only heard one mentioning stuttering with TITAN sli setup, but sli setups are know for micro stuttering so here again we cannot blame the game.

[Uncle Drew]

Patching or fixing the bugs isn't as easy as you all may think so just wait for them to finish fixing the bugs I'm sure it'll be worth the wait.

You are so correct. Generally speaking..when they fix one thing something else goes foul. One thing's for sure, they didn't touch the offensive rebounding bug, it seems worse than ever.

[MaxMBox]

I love this game. Really. Yes, there are bugs and issues, that should and I'm sure would be fixed but let's be honest: NBA 2K15 is big step up from previous years. Let's remember how many huge bugs we had last years when generally we had a lil' bit polished but the same game from the year before.

As for stutterings and other issues let me tell my own story. I couldn't connect to the Servers till yesterday, even when Servers seems to work properly. With and without 2K support I've tried so many variants: closed ports, disabling\uninstalling antivirus\firewall software, installing and reinstalling steam and the game, deleting profile files etc. The last thing for me to do was reinstalling Windows. Before making image of the existing system I decided to uninstall all additional but heavy software: Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, AutoCAD, some not necessary software. After all uninstallings and before making system image itself I decided to test the game for the last time and the game connect to the servers so now I'm playing online w\o any problems. So who can tell me the reason: installed Adobe software, some kind of fragmentation of system disk or 22 Gb file hyberfil.sys that was deleted by me in final stage of system disk cleanup?

And this is another reason why some people faced with some kind of issues, some with another kind of issues and some don't faced issues at all - we all have almost unique PC if we'll count not only hardware, but software also. And all this in very different versions, builds and settings. You wanna help to community and devs: describe issues that U have with system config including major and minor software. Try to reinstall OS and run game on clean OS with only up-to-date drivers installed. Don't be some kind of silly boy who is sitting on the floor in toys' section and crying cuz he didn't like how exactly his new robot's legs are mooving.

Maybe 2K should announce when they are going to patch this game

An announcement needs to be made. The brand is going to suffer until then. I've seen it described as the Sim City of basketball games, which is quite embarrassing really. I submitted a ticket in Steam to have my purchase refunded (not as unlikely as you all may think given Steam is now abiding by Australian laws) and if successful, I'll certainly be sharing the news with websites. Having articles showing 2K15 refunded due to complaints of the game not delivering would further damage the brand's reputation. And as someone who has bought every single release since launch day on Dreamcast, I more than have the right.

P.S. Logging into the game via Steam today hit me with a message saying the servers are down and thus many game modes. Surely 2K will detach the need to connect online in a patch.

P.P.S. I really hope 2K isn't waiting for the NBA Live release first to see what their competition looks like and then decide how much they need to patch their game and how much they can keep till next year...

It's just a video game. A video game we like very much and want to see it become better. But that's just about it.

So Leftos, a developer of the game, cannot be frustrated (or saddened like you said) by people that do actions that is considered childish and inappropriate?

You said it's just a video game, but why are there people going to the extreme anyway?

Leftos has stated in at least one post that a patch is being worked on. There's nothing to 'announce', when you're uncertain of a timetable. It's being worked on, actively. We've been told such by longtime members of the community who we trust. All an announcement would do is give a completely blind idea of when to expect something, so that people such as yourself, could get up in arms and have a brand new issue to bitch about if and when the time frame was not met.

It's staggering, just how childish and nonsensical people can get over this. I hope most of you guys are early teenagers, cause Lord knows a great many of you act like it. If grown adults are handling disappointment, and lack of immediate gratification this way, we're in trouble. If this is the decorum for handling not being able to play a video game appropriately out of the box, what do you do when actual, serious issues arise?? I can't even imagine the coping mechanisms. I weep.

One of my last try with this....game. I take my i7 to another lvl, because i start to wonder 3ghz its not enough for this...game. Plus i also start to think that my cpu is blocking my gpu. So i give him 4,2ghz + extreme on, so in stress it should be 4,4ghz. Guess what, this....game is still droping hard. But its not over. I take my gpu to very similar trip. I've modded this card with bios and OC to the lvl of 570gtx. Guess what, this...game win again. Did i mention my DDR3 memory runs 1750mhz? And guess what all i did is AAx2 without quality of AA+ resolution only HD....LOL
There is np really.

Are you still getting stuttering, or is it just a FPS drop? From what I recall, you had reported that initially, the game would run smooth, but as the game progressed, it would deteriorate to the point of unplayability. Is it the micro-stuttering that everyone else is reporting? If not, I don't think I've seen a single other person report what you are saying is happening to you. Could you post a video of what is happening, and maybe describe, at certain time marks, what you are finding?

If it's the micro-stuttering, have you tried this posted solution, which many have had success with?

I went into task manager and set my priority for NBA 2k15 to "Above Normal". Also, I set the affinity by unchecking a core, clicking OK, and then resetting it to use all cores again. Used to be a trick to solve micro-stuttering in NBA 2k13 and 2k14 and it seems to work for me on NBA 2k15 as well. Can anyone else confirm this works for them as well?

Maybe your problems will continue, and if so, I hope they're solved soon. It seems, though, that more and more people are finding at least temporary workarounds until an eventual patch release, whenever that may be.

[maddenftbl]

My problems is my resolution wont save! Only issue I have right now.

[ChrisCP3Paul]

Yea I agree bighort people really need to start posting videos instead of spamming every damn thread on this forum with the same shlt over and over again, yea we get it, stop talking and show us

Here below is just an example of a video I made from another game Rome Total War 2 that I posted in their official support forums, and how it only utilizes 1 single core (out of 6) while the others sit idle (which by the way is absolutely crazy for a AAA game from a well known studio IN 2014!!!)
it's clear and present evidence and you can see the issue exactly, in the second videos shows the frame rate drops for example....

you guys think 2K15 has issues with stuttering, well try playing this fckin game you'll tear your hair out
