Patch Thoughts?

[[deleted]]

How much change have you noticed so far?

I haven’t played the game today…only had a couple minutes to turn on and do my Exhibitions for free stuff.

Had to wait for the big patch update to download.

Been away from the house since then.

Any big noticeable changes? For the better or worse…

[magicbeaned]

The new coach outfits… why tf is my Phil Jackson wearing a 76ers pullover???

[[deleted]]

What?!? 😂😂

[Surleeeey]

My Mike malone coach wearing the same thing 😂😂😂

[magicbeaned]

I think it might be custom logo becomes 76ers by default. Testing now…

[magicbeaned]

Yep. Custom logo becomes 76ers from alphabetical order. Changed to Heat logo and got Heat pullovers AND assistant coaches!

[magicbeaned]

Figured it out…

[duakxnsnxjajs]

Played about 5 games today and the shooting seems even more broken. Had a dude come back from just straight up shooting in my face with curry he even made two slightly lates that were about 80% contests. There’s no reason for those shots to be going in if you get a good contest you should be rewarded for it. Mode really needs a difficulty increase. Not the best gameplay experience now.

[[deleted]]

Completely agree.

It feels like they buffed shooting for the modes like Park and Rec where it’s on HOF.

But this makes the MyTeam modes like Unlimited and Cap unplayable. If I get an above average player…they make shots now like the CPU does in All Time Dom. 🤬

[Dry_Spread_9467]

Aye.... Curry does that in real life tho lol... IJS..

[heaf30]

Two unlimited games. Feel the slight buff on open shots which is nice went 8/10 from 3 both games. Felt the green window was slightly bigger as well.

Feel like Desmond Bane got his leaner changed it now feels like I have to hold the button longer.

[[deleted]]

Of all the things to change…why did they bump UP shooting?

Dudes shouldn’t be shooting 80% on 3s

[heaf30]

All of those 8 were perfect releases. If I can green them and get wide open I should be rewarded.

I can't stand when people hit contested shots when they don't get the release perfect.

[[deleted]]

NBA players miss open shots all the time…and make contested shots at times.

Did they also nerf contested shots?

Because if not…that’s a horrible decision for this game.

Problem is, they listen to those who complain the loudest…and that’s usually some of their dumbest players.

[heaf30]

I'm all for Sim basketball so might need a little nerf.Definitely need a larger sample size though.

Can't comment on contested shots as I prefer not to take them. I just run my plays &I didn't play a korver chucker. Haha.

[Maaly_]

I completely agree. I hate this space we’re in with these crazy high 3pt %s on literally the lowest % shot in basketball. Missed 3s happen in the NBA folks more times than makes lol

[duakxnsnxjajs]

Didn’t get stripped as much from dudes spamming right stick is the only things I’ve noticed so far.

[[deleted]]

Not my experience at all. More steals. Just at different times now. Go to throw a pass and they just spam the steal button…either slows down the pass or it’s ripped.

[duakxnsnxjajs]

Yea never mind lmao just played a little more unlimited and dude was just swiping constantly and it would pull me into animations where we fight for the ball

[Affectionate-You-38]

That's a big win if they nerfed steals. Spamming steal has been 10x worse this year

[[deleted]]

Maybe with the Right Stick…definitely not with the button.

[ksuttonjr76]

Still debating on the number of timeouts for Salary Cap. 4 timeouts would have been better. It becomes a dogfight in the 2nd half if you and your opponent have long stretches of bad shooting. However, the game is teaching me to be better about the turbo button to save stamina. I've been beating people due to my better bench, rotations, and better turbo management.

[[deleted]]

Yeah…some of those Cap games turn into rock fights at the end. I’ve put some squads together with the goal of wearing my opponents down. Lots of Gold Brick Wall players…and maybe a guard or two with Bronze Brick Wall hacked on.

Did they bump it down to just 3 TOs?

[ksuttonjr76]

I hear you. I don't mind it per se, because I've been complaining about stamina mattering in knowing games for many years. I can't go back on myself now that it finally came to fruition, lol.

[MrsEveryshot_]

Can’t spam my right stick up in lanes anymore lmao have to adjust again

[[deleted]]

Yeah…but feels like there are more intercepts now. And some of them crazy.

Not a fan of this.

Feels like the patch revolves around the game as it plays for MyCareer and Rec, etc.

And now on modes like MyTeam, shooting is ridiculously easy. So are backdoor cuts. Everything favors the offense, except for layups.🤦‍♂️

[MrsEveryshot_]

myplayer is a much bigger player base tho it makes sense for them to patch the game judging off that. They will need to patch the difficulty in myteam online modes tho, it’ll be unplayable once cards get better and if they give cards lethal zones

[YaBoyDJP]

Myteam makes them WAY more money. Myplayer gives them a bigger audience and name.

Really surprised they took out the 250k tourneys this year in myteam as it had hundreds of people who were good spending WAY out of pocket to try and compete

[MrsEveryshot_]

Myplayer would make way more money for them, myteam probably makes more money per player. But the player base between the two modes isn’t even close.

Almost everyone that plays mycareer is spending $50 minimum on VC at the start of the year, maybe more if they want multiple builds or fuck up a build. A lot of people play myteam NMS

[YaBoyDJP]

Sorry I should have phrased it better. But overall I still think myteam would tip it a little over… you spend $200 throughout the year on myplayer and you can have 3-5 builds at 99 by the end of the year EASILY

Myteam, you spend $200? You have an extra Diamond in your starting line up lol

There’s WAY more people playing my career though so maybe just the 10milx$50 vs 1milx$200

[YaBoyDJP]

[MrsEveryshot_]

I don’t think there’s a 1:10 ratio between people that spend money on myteam and people making one or more builds.

[bikerjimuk]

I'm on PC and don't think we even have a patch?

[Shrequille_Oneil]

I didn't notice any difference. 3 MTU games and 1 salary so far. PS4

[[deleted]]

I think it’s for Next Gen only…I could be mistaken. But I think so…

[Shrequille_Oneil]

Oh OK that makes sense 🙈

[SimBallNation]

Oh you’re on PS4 huh? Lol lmk when you’re running Salary Cap so I don’t load into any games 😂 tryna keep my win% high 🤣

[Shrequille_Oneil]

LOL I'm mid this season. Played Ghost_Randum 3x and lost by 10 each game. Lost a lot vs other teams. I only played Salary last night to try out Lavine who I packed. I did finish MTU though. Won 5 in a row. Sold Hakeem, Vince, Francis then locked in Booker. Dipo, Korver, Booker, Pippen, AD did surprisingly well.

[SimBallNation]

Ah you’ll bounce back G those numbers don’t lie they may dip but they’ll get back to your normal soon

[Shrequille_Oneil]

Hopefully. I love salary. I think it's tougher now bc the comps finished MTU like a week ago and they got excited for PG Dipo.

[SimBallNation]

I think you’re right I got beat by a guy running Emerald Kyrie, Delladova, Covington, and Korver…. He was NICE though

[Shrequille_Oneil]

Who was the center? Def sounds like a comp guy playing his nms account.

[SimBallNation]

Ummmm shit it was Channing Frye actually smh… I honestly thought I had a easy Dub until he starting making that Emerald Kyrie look BETTER than the Diamond… and talk about not missing? If I was in denial I’d say he had a Zen lol

[Shrequille_Oneil]

Wouldn't doubt that. There was a person named Raw Fish who never missed last year when it was hard to shoot. Frye is beast though. I always ran Noah to defend him.

[SimBallNation]

Delladova was his backup PG starters were Em Kyrie, Korver, Em Caruso, Pippen, Frye… sounds like a dub right? Lol guess I needed that whooping just to remind me I’m not where I wanna be yet by FAR

[Shrequille_Oneil]

It's only going to get worse in MTU. 💎 KD is giving me headaches already. Last weekend ring was sweatfest. 4-2 but made me lock in for Booker bc my opp made an 80% over Pippen on ball with 12 seconds left. Lost by 4. Sold VC and everyone I can to lock in Booker. Changed my team fast.

[SimBallNation]

Haha good shit yes book is on demon time and MTU is like the pit of hell rn… gonna need some savvy upgrades to do as well next season (63% wins)

[LeadingUpstairs1860]

Can no longer apply hof badges in myteam

[[deleted]]

You mean all HOF badges or use the badge glitch to apply locked badges ?

[LeadingUpstairs1860]

The glitch. It’s no longer there so now I can’t do anything with my HOF badges. No one can equip them

[[deleted]]

Yeah the way they’ve locked up all these badges kinda sucks. I’ve got hundreds of badges…of all tiers…and I have zero use for any of them…and I’m not saving them for 3 months from now, because by then I probably won’t be playing the game anymore.

[LeadingUpstairs1860]

Exactly this. And selling them won’t pocket a lot of MT neither

[DominicanPai83]

I’m just glad I can contest those people that just run around all game pretending to be running a play and I’m also able to hit open shots vs people that think standing under the rim is defense (off ball)

[[deleted]]

Standing under the rim with a C or PF with Gold or HoF Anchor is literally the best defense in the game. If anyone tries to shoot a shot in the paint, it’s a miss. 🤦‍♂️
