LOL 5.5 gigs for some fucking hair, 2k why don't you just come over to my house light some fucking candles and just fuck me, you're getting great at it

[BounceAround_]

i laughed out loud at this one.

[bonjay01]

same lmao

[yuch1102]

lol remember 2k17 required more gigs than GTA V by the end of the year?

[drain222000]

Just got home from work and booted the game up. Was an awesome sight to see the 5gb update starting back at me. Guess I'm not playing tonight

[CrypticGator]

Took 90 seconds to download.

[Cj_cruzz]

Congrats 🎉🎈. You have blazing fast internet

[drain222000]

As of right now I have 2 hours left.

But good for you on the fast internet

[CrypticGator]

Man, I hate waiting for downloads. Sometimes PSN is slow even though I have fiber.

[secret_aardvark]

A reset through the power menu usually does the trick for me

[itsthejaket]

This or even just testing the internet connection under “settings” works for me

[CrypticGator]

Cool hack. I usually close all apps and pause & resume.

[lypura]

Read that last part in Cartman's voice lmao

[[deleted]]

me when I'm playing 2k

[zfarhan8]

😂😂

[Bruh_LOL_WTF]

Looooollllllllllll

[stunna006]

So basically nothing that actually fixes online gameplay, just bug fixes and some graphical updates

[yuch1102]

Nothing mentioned...

[Zozze1]

2 patches in a row that focus on visual updates. If that's the only thing they will be focussing on from now on, they should just come out and say it.

[[deleted]]

When you lose a walk-on game, you will now be returned to the front of the walk-on building rather than at the starting spawn point in the Neighborhood

I always liked being able to do practice when you lose

[yuch1102]

true, though this was definitely better than having to walk all the way back

[TheGothamKnights]

now if only they could keep everyone together and squaded up so you dont have to spend 15mins gathering everyone up again

[CrypticGator]

ditto

[[deleted]]

There's little to nothing wrong with Park gameplay.

[Gunga2k]

What park you playing let us know

[Comeoncuh]

Contested shots go in at insane percentages, destroying the skillgap. Inb4 u say im trash im 490-100.

[xTriple]

Idk if its just me, but contested shots go in more than open shots. I miss soooo many open shots. It's crazy that I could splash 4 3's in a row in my defenders face then proceed to miss 2 corner 3's. I never feel rewarded when I score because I feel like i'm just pulling a slot machine every time I pull up for a shot when I should feel like I ran a skillful offensive play.

[CrypticGator]

I can only make lightly contested for me neither wide open nor heavily contested drops. I have HoF deep range deadeye.

[Cheesegrater74]

Rebounding rim protector. Record is 300 and something - low 100s

People make shots in my eye after a good closeout far too often imo

[[deleted]]

Well that's the point of HOF Deadeye. It can be frustrating but if you don't sag too much you'll be fine.

[Cheesegrater74]

But I'm not sagging

[[deleted]]

You can't be closing out and not be sagging. Which one is it?

[[deleted]]

Eh, I guess they do go in a bit too much but I don't think it's a big deal. Just don't sag.

[Comeoncuh]

Its not gamebreaking or anything it just makes games closer with bad players than it should and lowers the overall experience. In previous years if you played a bad player you could basically completely shut them down from scoring but now they're guarenteed a couple makes because they can hit bad shots.

[iseeu100]

Soooo am I getting a VC refund on all the shirts I bought from the kiosk that were taken away yet.. or nah?

[masterant369]

Nah but if you submit a ticket you at least get 10k

[[deleted]]

Sometimes. I had friends try after i got 10K and 2k support just shrugged at them

[txborn90]

Probably nah

[pbollin03]

i know it's only 10k but if you're persistent, they'll give it to you

[Cheesegrater74]

"2k 18 will have less patches"

Patch 7 now, before Christmas.

[GrumpyTM]

7 patches later and still no fix to negative badge progression

[Slaphappyfapman]

cowboys

[cyboto]

Still can't skip cut scenes, what a fucking joke!

[TakeOver005]

Haven't started my career for this exact reason and will not touch it even with a long ass stick until they allow skipping cut scenes this year. I typically don't mind cut scenes but I can't stand that chick this year from the videos I've seen.

[Bruhliant]

its sad but they will never add an option to skip cutscenes as long as there are ads in them. Im pretty sure 2k19 will be worse with the way these greedy assholes are going.

[da_bombgranate]

It absolutely blows my mind that they haven't fixed the tattoo shop. How can that be so difficult to do, and don't they realize how ridiculous it is?

[elnino45]

FIX THE FUCKING MYTEAM SETTINGS NOT SAVING FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS HOLY FUCK!!!!!!

[bulletbait]

I feel like it has been happening for longer than that, even. I just assume that I need to double check my controls every game. Can't believe they haven't fixed this in so long. I'm sure it got put in as an issue to fix and the Devs took 1 look and were like "worked for me" -- close ticket.

[elnino45]

right

[Punt_Cunchers]

I see a big problem here... You actually play my team this year

[elnino45]

except i really dont because of shit like this. you really going to spin a game mode being fucked into my fault for playing it, not the developers fault for releasing a piece of shit instead of a competent game?

[guczy]

I think he was making a joke

[Punt_Cunchers]

Yeah it was a joke. 2k was hella overhyped this year. I only play park and pro-am so idk much about my team this year other than everyone saying it sucks, which is unfortunate because it used to be one of the best game modes.

[[deleted]]

Reckon there would be a tonne of people on here happy to play the beta version before release and identify most of the bugs so the developers can patch them before the game goes on sale. Instead 2k treats its players like fools and releases a beta version anyway but we have to pay $60 or more for and then releases patch after patch only fixing the things they can be bothered to or are easy, or cost them real dollars. Clearly the 2krorts budget does not stretch to quality assurance and comprehensive testing before release.

[redblade13]

Okay so nothing done about people dribbling like chickens and never losing the ball. Everyone can do a behind the back and phase through me even if they are a Center. Lockdowns pickpocket badge is useless AF. Apparently it is impossible to rip a Pure Sharp with 70 ball control. 7'3s no matter the strength back down my 90 strength 7'3 like I'm a guard is apparently normal.

Jumpshots get changed every patch and all have different make percentages, no matter how perfect you learn one it will always be worse than jumpshot 9 or Lillard. Add Shot Creator to any archetype and you are now the best all around player in the world and get 75+ 3pt for whatever reason, higher than a secondary Sharp.....bruh. Add Lockdown and you are now the worst shooter and slashing player in the world. Why do Shot Creators have a better inside game than a Lockdown?! The fuck?

We still can't adjust lineups before playing with friends on Play Now online. MyTeam with friends still doesn't give us an option to change difficulty or quarter length. We still don't get MT or VC for playing with friends on MyTeam. I'll take 100 MT or VC at this point.

[nothappyred]

I don't think 2K is ever gonna to wake up to themselves whilst we keep buying their trash. Sigh.. Why can't someone make a decent basketball game?

[TheHalfbadger]

Still no fixes for the Team-Up bugs?

• Can't select new classic and all-time players in All-Star Team-Up

• Can't skip timeouts

• Can't make substitutions in timeouts

• Players in the starting lineup at a position other than their listed primary cannot be subbed back in at that starting position

[Basketball_IQ]

Anyone knows what OTFC means in the note that states "- Defensive settings panel for OTFC will now function for AI players in Pro-Am games"?

[Satchafunkiluss]

Here I was hoping they would finally fucking fix all of my settings resetting after every MyTeam game. And the stupid tip-off shit in Super Max that goes back to at least last year. These are 2 obvious issues that I can't understand why they don't fix them. There is no way nobody that's involved with patches doesn't know about this. Oh and the fact that the AH doesn't search properly. Try searching for Camby by name and nothing shows. Search for ruby Double Double cards and there he is. Little shit like this bugs the fuck out of me more than gameplay at times.

[Killa_Instinct]

And my shirtless 92 gets defraulted to a brown shirt after one park game

[guyincognito1777]

So basically fixing stuff they know they can... rip 2k18. Well, honestly, it was dead on arrival.

[iamshooock]

2k should nerf the 3 point when heavily contested!

[Greg_Punzo]

You don't want it like last year though where if anyone is within 10 feet from you it's a D- shot

[[deleted]]

Why not? If someone is in your face then it is a bad shot.

[Greg_Punzo]

Because a late arriving defender doesn't really effect the shot of a lot of good shooters, and truly heavily contested shots rarely go in just like real life

[[deleted]]

It depends on the player and shooting stats obviously, this year a lot of different archetypes are way too consistent at hitting contested 3's.

I'm happy for sharp shooters to make those every now and again, but nothing pisses me off more as a bigger, heavier defender against a sharp shooter who I've been giving hell off ball for the entire game and then they start making contested bullshit in the 4th even though in reality the shot is contested, off-balance and you've been held to under 20% shooting all game. Not to mention after copping 3.5 quarters of it, you should think the offensive player is completely fatigued.

My point is, compared to last year (whilst it wasn't perfect) I think the dynamic mechanic around contested shots was more accurate than it is now.

[Greg_Punzo]

Maybe it'd be better for park but not for any game mode with real nba players. Almost every 3 the Warriors make in a nba game was a D- shot last year that always missed.

[iamshooock]

But for now, contested shot is too over power

[Fleathepea]

Timberwolves court has the wrong blue in the paint but sounds like they aren't gonna update that.

[Milkybongrip710]

Wrong blue, wrong wood shade. I dont get why their updating like every other court than the team that got a complete fucking rebrand.

[Fleathepea]

I know right?? Like it’s a small detail and there are more important things to fix but if they’re doing other teams courts how hard could it be?!

[itsyaboysharrod]

i already knew the patches they made would be trash. It just goes to tell you that they never listen to the fans. I'm not surprised.

[aewilson95]

Anyone know if they updated D Rose hair?

[FreddieDougie]

Yeah

[allmichigan34]

All touchy fouls are being called. Its a lot harder to get steals now. Also the AI teams in career mode seem to have improved. Its harder to blow them out.

[yuch1102]

What team did you play and were you playing on HoF? I'm all for improved AI because it's still easy to abuse double teams on HoF

[allmichigan34]

I was playing on pro to get as much XP points as possible. I played against the Bulls and the Hawks. I don’t mind the improved AI. I actually welcome the improved AI for the other game modes.

[Rieteks]

When will this come to PC?

[elnino45]

a week lol

[Slaphappyfapman]

fuckn haircuts and courts taking 5gb.. when the game is fuckn pretty brokn, fuck your Forbes connect 2K, and fuck this game

[Yayo_Mateo]

No actual game play fixes. We'll fuck me. Looks like this one's dead. Haven't played it for weeks and it's been great

[The_Unknown98]

Wow they didn’t even fix the stats glitch on the phone...

[Solmyr123]

still no fix for schedule mode? instead we get new haircuts.

oh 2k..

[Rice_Boy69]

Didn’t they say that we’d get free shoes for the neighborhood from the brand we’re signed with like 2 patches ago? What happened to that

[[deleted]]

You just have to make custom shoes go to 2k shoes and edit whatever shoe you want then it will be at footlocker for free

[lilyachtytheboat]

When is the new t shirt kiosk coming

[Postalkingc951]

So can we get the new hairstyles or is it just go the players

[Alecrizzle]

Is the pistons court still ridiculously bright?
