The developer has announced that additional changes are in progress, and a more comprehensive patch is anticipated in October. This patch aims to address significant issues pointed out by the community and enhance the game's lukewarm reception.
The patch notes for NBA 2K24's 1.3 update have been revealed, offering various improvements to gameplay and popular modes like MyCareer. The latest installment of 2K Sports' annual basketball franchise has generated mixed reactions among dedicated fans, with some aspects such as the beloved MyCareer mode and player animations showing enhancements, while others criticize the lack of significant upgrades. However, the new patch by 2K Sports aims to introduce multiple minor changes as a temporary solution. Despite the negative reception, NBA 2K24 did address notable fan requests with the addition of cross-play for the first time in franchise history, although it is only supported across current-gen platforms. The single-player modes in 2K24 are also highly regarded, particularly "The W" women's career mode, which now offers new career paths and enhancements to the Player Builder feature. The latest update for 2K24 not only addresses immediate issues but also promises future improvements.
NBA 2K24 recently released the patch notes for Update 1.3 of the current-gen version. This update brings significant changes to MyCareer, the City, and overall gameplay. Notably, the developers have made improvements to perimeter defense checks to address the issue of "ghost contests." These adjustments aim to enhance the gameplay experience by tightening up defensive mechanics.
Furthermore, the City has undergone various stability enhancements. The Social menu now operates more efficiently, and several bugs have been fixed. Additionally, MyCareer has received numerous bug fixes, and a modification has been made to the "Heat Check Booster" of the RISE affiliation. Players now only need to make three shots to activate this feature.
The latest patch for NBA 2K24 includes notes from the developer indicating that more changes are being developed for the game. In addition to minor fixes in Update 1.3, 2K Sports is working on a comprehensive patch for NBA 2K24, which is expected to be released in October. This patch will address larger issues that have been raised by members of the game's community and require significant internal effort to resolve.
NBA 2K24 has faced criticism from fans for lacking significant improvements compared to the previous game. In fact, it currently holds the record for being Steam's lowest-rated game, a title previously held by Blizzard's Overwatch 2 due to negative reception after the cancellation of promised PvE content. With the upcoming updates for 2K24, 2K Sports aims to rebuild its relationship with disgruntled NBA 2K fans.
