PC, PS5, & XSX Official Patch Notes & Discussion (Latest Patch: 7.0)

[mp3]

Yeah I think as much as 2k25 on the ps4 is more than playable I need to get myself on next gen for 2k26 as its the little things that grind on me a little like courts that have just updated like the Clippers I could understand slightly if they left the old one in but teams like the Wizards, Suns, Kings, Pelicans Court being out of date since 2k23 it seems and player looking the exact same is like they say a glorified roster update for the same price almost is just 2k being greedy when you look at how much money they made last year from each platform and vc transactions

[Andrew]

Definitely. As I've said, as long as those platforms receive releases and at all full price, there should at least be a reasonable effort as far as quality, essential updates, and post-release support.

Also, Patch 2.0 is out now on PC. Restart your Steam client if you don't see it!

[ThePointForward]

That's some very detailed patch notes,

The ps4 patch 1.04 has dropped as well, no idea what is in it but its 55.86GB

For comparison, Steam update is 9.9 GB download, while affecting 129 GB worth of files on the drive.


Keep in mind this is the difference between Steam and console's delivery systems. Unfortunately neither Sony nor Microsoft has caught up with Valve in this regard, even though AFAIK it's not some secret.

Thx in advance
Rob

[mp3]

The ps4 got another update, v1.05

Zero idea what it updated.

[Andrew]

I assume "various fixes for performance and stability", to use the preferred vernacular!

[mp3]

All I can see is that the sliders are now messed up again, the cpu now runs there center end to end beating my center to an easy fast break basket, the players also now feel on skates.

It's so frustrating who 2k so this especially when they give no insight to what they have changed.

[mp3]

Did the next gen version get the city jersey and player likeness update? I thought I'd seen take of patch 3.0 released or was i wrong?

I wonder when 2k will bless the old ps4 users with the city jerseys etc, hopefully before Christmas anyway.

[Andrew]

I need to update our resources and post a bulletin, but it looks like they are posting the patch notes on the website as well as via images in the Discord. So, for the moment: https://nba.2k.com/2k25/patch-updates/

(Much easier to copy and paste all that than typing it all out again, I can tell you that much!)

[blackthorne2001]

can't wait for patch 3.0 for PC they will Finally add "Easy Anti Cheat" protection so the probability of crossplay in 2k26 on PC will be happening.

[Andrew]

Patch 3.0 is out now for PS5 and XSX|S. PC patch is slated to be out in time for the start of Season 3 on November 29th.

[mp3]

Patch version 1.06 is now available on the ps4.

[Andrew]

Seems they still have no interest in providing patch notes for prior gen.

[mp3]

Or actual content either mate!
They have probably just updated season 3 for there online dress up barbie game, I checked and they still haven't updated alot of the nba courts are outdated with some like the Wizards and Suns still the 2023 court and player likenesses the same but they also didn't add the city edition jerseys or courts either which is what i was hoping for most from the update.

I've got to make this my last year playing on last gen lol.

[Andrew]

Could be the last year for that generation period, though I also thought that last year when they barely touched on prior gen during the preview season. So, we'll see!

[Andrew]

Patch 3.0 is out now on PC, and Season 3 is also underway in MyTEAM and MyCAREER.

[mp3]

The City jerseys seem to of made there way to the ps4 version, sadly the city courts haven't arrived yet tho.

[mp3]

The ps4 version has a patch update now available, v1.07.

[barber]

Need a sponsor update

City Jersey
HAWKS, MAGIC, MAVS, NETS, WIZARDS

Classic Jersey
KINGS

Sponsor
CAVS (Changed the shape of this season)

[mp3]

There was another patch on the ps4 I downloaded today and I have to say they really killed the flow to the gameplay vs the cpu.
The pace has slowed right down to where they take 18-24 seconds to Shoot the ball and it's mainly a player driving to lane or a 3 at the end of the shot clock, they now also have players as if there not running plays just standing around watching one player dribble (Harden on the rockets)

I played a couple of different teams to see if it was that first team that maybe were just playing that way but out of 4 games I loaded up only the Warriors still played like the Warriors, iam sure this can be addressed once again vi's sliders but honestly this is one of the things I really hate about nba 2k games is the complete deconstruction of what was good gameplay "out the box" when the game was released

[Andrew]

Came through on New Gen as well, I'll add the notes ASAP. Should be through on PC by the end of the week, in time for the new season.

[Andrew]

[iFahad81]

Yes just updated today and it is crashing relentlessly just after loading screen. tried swapping in two older exes and it won't even load now. Also tried verifying games files to no avail. this seems to happen periodically. 2k really frustrating. breaking the game with patches and updates isn't good enough.

[johnwest1985]

For me what worked is moving out the mod folder and the mod file in the main game, then stop steam and then restart it and start the game. After that i put the mods stuff back in but found out with the global it doesnt work. So its the global causing issues.
