NBA 2K14

I've had some dodgey charges given against MyPlayer in career mode.

Noticed the blocking fouls at the line, the most annoying thing about that is in the 1/2 occasions it's been given as out of bounds it was my player it went against, same for a sideline bump.
One time I was pushed out for a TO and the other time I had a foul given against.

Have seen a lot of suspect goaltending calls too, there was one yesterday I watched in the replay and the ball wasn't even at the same height as the rim :rolleyes:
Was blocked almost immediately from the shot. Wasn't against my player btw so not comparing it to the suspect calls above.

Playing NBA 2K14 on PS4 on a bad connection is painful.

The menu won't even show up until it loads a load of 'news' spam. For some reason they've set it so that it saves some portion of the MyCareer mode save is in the cloud so you can't even play it without an active connection. It's a game designed with no regard for the reality of internet connectivity outside the cosy environs of major urban areas.

A second 2GB plus patch showed up in my download queue today but I'm certainly not getting my hopes up about it fixing such fundamental problems with the structure of the game.

The game is fine and at times absolutely beautiful but this is a woeful effort by 2K. Wish I'd got FIFA instead.

Hi all,

Ronnie2K here with some NBA 2K14 Patch 3 Notes. It was released early morning, 12/19 on Xbox One and will be released on PS4 shortly. Will update you when confirmed; as always feel free to stay tuned to my Twitter account- http://twitter.com/Ronnie2K.

Our commitment to NBA 2K14 Next Gen is ongoing, as you can see with the level of depth in the 3rd patch. This patch is a mixture of gameplay improvements and fixes for technical issues, including many MyPLAYER cases. We appreciate your patience and support as we venture into this next-generation of gaming. Furthermore, the team continues to stay focused on making NBA 2K14 the best possible experience for all of our users out there. We will be monitoring all your feedback after the patch hits to look for any further issues.

Here are the notes:

GENERAL

- Fixed an issue in The Park where matches were not starting appropriately, in addition to a large number of optimizations for this experience.

- Addressed a number of issues that were known to cause disconnects during head-to-head and Team-Up gameplay.

- Corrected an issue where an assigned dunk package would sometimes not be used in The Park.

- Fixed a number of issues that should result in a much more stable experience for users playing in Leagues.

- Addressed an issue where the user would encounter a lengthy blank black screen during the initial launch sequence in certain conditions.

- Fixed a bug where user Settings weren’t properly saving in specific situations.

- Fixed a case where the user would experience a loss of controller functionality despite having a controller turned on (XB1).

- Fixed a case where the user would enter into an unresponsive state after a second user signed in and then subsequently signed out (XB1).

- Fixed an issue where the title did not send game invites to all Xbox Party members when a user enters a joinable online matchmaking session (XB1).

- The title will now receive game invites if the user is already in an Xbox Party with the host (XB1).

- Addressed an issue where blocked users were allowed to enter matchmaking with each other (XB1).

- Fixed an issue where the title would shut down when resuming from low-power standby (XB1).



GAMEPLAY

- Slightly reduced the shot % penalty on fouls in order to create more appropriate ‘and-1’ situations.

- Tuned shooting percentages such that they fall more in line with our expected results.

- Addressed an issue where teams would call timeouts back-to-back in certain situations.

- Fixed an issue where the camera would sometimes stay on the scorer after a made shoot, often resulting in a 5-second inbound violation.

- Passes are now more accurate along the sideline, on fast breaks, and when passed to receivers who are in the middle of coming to a stop.

- Shortened the distance receivers are led down court (when passing) during regular transition (non-fast break) offense.

- Fixed an issue where the rebound button would sometimes be ignored when engaged in a boxout.

- Made several improvements to the dribbling model in order to smooth out ball movement.

- Adjusted physics calculations on in-air collisions to make defenders ‘stronger’.

- Tuned shot blocking logic such that defenders are more aware of attempting blocks when the ball is still rising, and less likely to target the ball on its way down (when goaltending will be called).

- Tuned down the likelihood that poorly rated blockers will get their blocking hand in perfect position in front of the ball.

- Players who successfully block a shot are now more aware and will have a greater chance of recovering the loose ball if it falls nears them.

- Fixed an issue where players who shouldn’t be physically able to body-up in ride collisions were able to do so at a higher than expected frequency.

- Tuned the body-up system in order to reduce the amount of clipping present in this sequence.

- Made several improvements to fix overextension of player elbows during steal/rebound opportunities in order to reduce arm pops, and to improve hand/ball interaction.

- Addressed a very rare case where a defender would snap up from the ground right after getting knocked down.

- Pump Fakes have been tuned to correct an issue where some players would twitch when performing the fake.

- Addressed a rare issue where the game would potentially hang after a player fouled out during a Team-Up game.

- A new and improved ‘Beluba’ camera is now available for your use.

- Corrected a commentary issue where the commentators would discuss (and often praise) a player for a given statistic when the sample size of the stat does not merit the discussion.

- A number of other smaller changes have been made to address issues as well as enhance the user experience.



MyCAREER

- Fixed a hang that was known to occur when loading save files where a purchased accessory had been equipped.

- Fixed an issue where users would get stuck in the Shooting Drill when they had previous changed their Shooting Type to Real Player %.

- The in-performance VC earnings overlay will now match what is actually given to the user upon returning to the travel scene between games.

- Addressed an issue where player names were occasionally not showing up correctly when dynamic goals were handed out.

- Corrected an issue where the title would not resume following a timeout called shortly after halftime.

- Fixed a hang that could occur when the game would try to simulate ahead in scrimmages.

- Fixed an issue where games would be unintentionally simulated when viewing the NBA.com headline about clinching a playoff spot.

- Corrected a rare issue where the user would be unable to progress past the All-Star break after playing many seasons.

- Corrected a rare issue where users would not get the VC reward for accomplishing a milestone.

- Users will no longer get drafted 30th overall after turning in an impressive performance in the Rookie Showcase.

- Additional ‘fake’ rookies (some quite good) will no longer be generated after the NBA Draft at the outset of the mode.

- Identified a rare case where the game could hang in the dunk contest at all-star weekend if the user left the controller unattended for a period of time (this fix applies for MyGM all-star dunk contest as well).

- Addressed discrepancies between dynamic goals and follow-up press conferences, headlines, and social media messages.

- Fixed an issue where the reporter would reference a stat incorrectly when asking the user a press conference question after a played game.

- Tuned AI behaviors such that teammates that are unhappy with your MyPLAYER will now show it more often after the whistle.

- Corrected a very rare issue where a user’s attributes would be lowered to 25 in all categories.

- Players will now retire completely in later seasons at an appropriate age (rather than sitting in free agency).

- A number of smaller issues (e.g. social media message cleanup) in addition to further mode tuning have been performed in this patch to enhance user satisfaction.



MyGM

- Corrected an issue where some users would hang when attempting to start the mode with an edited roster.

- Addressed a bug where players would ask for contracts in the MLE pricing range when they clearly deserve contracts of much greater worth.

- Corrected an issue where certain injuries were not properly healing in the expected amount of time.

- Addressed a display error on the Team Finances pricing graphs where it would display the user’s team as earning $0 in specific situations.

- Fixed a number of issues pertaining to the hiring and firing of head coaches and assistant coaches. This should now be more reliable.

- Corrected and optimized a number of owner goals to ensure they always fire at appropriate times (e.g. staff hiring goals will now always respect the available budget) and that they don’t conflict one another.

- Staff goals will now fire in the offseason even when the user has opted to simulate past the Staff Signing period.

- There will now always be a minimum level staff member available to sign when the user’s team does not have the budgetary funds available for a higher level staff member.

- Addressed an issue where players that retired to become coaches would get their name randomized.

- Corrected a rare hang that would occur when the user’s team suffered an in-game injury where the user later performed an in-game save to resume the game at a later time.

- When asking the CPU to rebuild lineups, the player roles set by the user will now be respected in most situations.

- Tuned player morale/player roles logic to be slightly more forgiving.

- Tuned the height ranges for generational players to be more in-line with our original intentions.

- A number of other smaller corrections and tunings have taken place to enhance user satisfaction.



NOTE: All patch fixes are intended to work in your existing game mode saves (MyCAREER, MyGM, etc.).

Lads I dont suppose anyone has a spare PS3-PS4 upgrade discount code they are not using , cant seem to find mine

Zero-Cool

I think this is 27 on the ps3 store at the moment, back it a tenner to upgrade it to ps4 then. Must check it out later.

Made some changed to the gameplay in MyCareer the last day.

Decided to put the difficulty up from All-Star to Hall of Fame since my player is now high 80s and changed the shooting from ''shot stick timing'' to ''real player %''.

Game plays a lot different on HOF, wouldn't say necessarily 'harder'. Being a PG, your opponent will score more on you but then again if being able to throw assists while progressing up the court since there was space. If feels more varied and realistic(AI threw an inbound straight out yest being one random event I didn't witness on A-S) so it definitely seems to player better.

Not sure how the FG % works, can't find any concrete info by 2k or in the game and have only played two games with it.
I'm not sure how much the pressure and stats come into play and does it only effect you or your team aswell.
Need to give it a bit more time to see will I stick to it but so far it seems at least playable if not still confusing.

Got this with my Xbox One today, really enjoying it so far. Anyone who fancies a game feel free to add me, Mikeyt086.

What's this Facebook Locker Codes app or have I missed the boat?

Im looking to play someone in a few since playing online just results in frustrating games(lads shooting 3s in transition and milking them all game, throwing silly down court passes and staying in the game etc).

Want to play someone who'll try a bit of everything and not just win at all costs or play cheesy.

Nah they're continuous, but they expire after a few days.

The app wasn't working for me over a few day period which might have been to yesterday.

You can get the new ones by just googling it as there'll be some posts within the day or two signifying a new one.
There's only two a week I believe and they last a few days.

Heh, with a 20gb limit on my broadband and no way to pause downloads on PS4, it'd be cheaper for me to buy 10 disk copies of the game

Got traded to the Mavs, got into the starting lineup with Devin Harris going to the bench. After two games, Harris came back in and Dalembert was benched. Now Harris runs point and I have to guard the opposing center

Marc Gasol killed me in the last game, he is 13" taller and 90lbs heavier. I should have taken a screenshot when he was backing down in the post. I looked like Nate Robinson when guarding him.

Cheers mate!

Also did a bit of googling and they gave away 10k VC yesterday! It was supposed to expire on Dec 25th, but I just tried it and it worked!

Go to Features > Locker Codes and make sure to include the - between the letters.

Delighted!

This is the 10k code for PS3/360. I'm on PS4 so I can't check if it still works like the next gen one above.

Hi lads,

Got this for Christmas and I've been enjoying it.

Would anyone be interested in an online Association Mode (Xbox 360)?

We got one going for NBA 2K12 and although it faded out quickly (summer time was perhaps not the best time to start it as a lot of people were off on holidays and the game was out a long time at that stage too) it was a good craic during the draft and the early games that were played.

We could do a fantasy draft (which IMO is the most fun part) as that way everyone is starting off on an equal footing and get it going from there. If there's enough interest I'll set one up.

See here for the NBA 2K12 Online Association mode thread to get an idea:

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056657210

If you're interested, post and we'll see what sort of numbers we get.

Cheers

3mb, no only can play quick game, but Im on 96% now so tomorrow might finally get to play

Won the NBA Championship with The Wizards in my career beating the Timberwolves 4-2 in the finals and I got the finals MVP.

Bit disappointed because i thought I would get a big coin bonus but got nothing.

Also the first cut scene after winning is an off season meeting with my rival saying how happy he is to be the rookie MVP even though I had better stats than him in every department during the regular season and his team didn't even make the play offs. Nothing mentioned in the cut scene about my team winning the NBA championship and me being finals MVP.

It was as if you are not suppose to win the NBA championship in your first season or something.

Don't think Ill play another season but I did enjoy the first season.

Id defo be up for the online assc mode, was sorry to miss last years. Anyone else not get a rival in the my player mode

2Mad2BeMad

have to say
this game has gone stale fast
just can't get into it at all
considering trading it in tomorrow
bugs and glitchs every game
online is laggy as hell
not to mention the 3pt shooters constantly, although I am use to that Everything else combined with that makes it quite difficult to enjoy

I like how they put the mycareer together though very enjoyable even if it is kinda heavily scripted

Online is a complete waste of time alright.

Most lads are just going to shoot 3s the whole game, even when you know it's coming it's too hard to stop with the awkward switching (and lack of sight if using the 2k cam).

It's been like that for years, and they don't seem interested in changing the sliders/gameplay mechanics for MP to combat it.

astonaidan

Finally done, only started my career so cant really say anything, going to try GM today, dont play online myself so that isnt a big deal for me

Mr Blobby

Kind of miss this tbh.. Might pick it up again.

That's two so far then.

Anyone else interested in an online association mode with a fantasy draft on the Xbox 360?

ironictoaster

Anyone elses mycareer mode freezing? I got a 5000 VC code there and I can't past the loading menu since I've added it in...
