Ahhhh seems the updates are mostly going to be like previous years, adding and fixing things in there dress up barbie non nba related portion of the game lol smh

Since the 1.4 patch I can no longer rotate shoes in the shoe creator, on top of not being able to re-edit custom shoes because when I click on them I get 2 random shoes with random layers/colors.

The patches have mostly been hotfixes for technical issues so far. Season 2 is going to bring the big patch, though to your point, it remains to be seen what gets fixed (and messed up)!

That's a bummer. I'd definitely recommend reporting it to 2K; I'm guessing there'll be a Patch 1.5 (and probably 1.6) in the near future, so if the Shoe Creator has been broken by the latest update, hopefully it'll be resolved ASAP. Other people have probably already reported it, but it wouldn't hurt all the same, as it emphasises the popularity of the Shoe Creator and desire to see it fixed.

There is definitely one thing the patches never fail to mess up with the updates is the slider!

On the ps4 are least, they sped up the gamespeed so I had to lower that to 42 and the cpu despite the lowered attack the basket rating they once again would drive the ball 60% of the time.

That's always frustrating. Interesting that they are tinkering with the gameplay tuning a bit on Gen 8 while holding off for the most part on Gen 9.

Yeah my guess is that they have been editing online gameplay that might not trickled down to offline play.

If iam honest tho I didnt have to do that much to adjust it back unlike last year however this was only the first patch

Only played one game in eras so might not be a good test but it felt like there was less suction so easier to score, harder to defend. Seems a little faster, more arcadey but it's one game so not a good sample size. There's definitely more changes to gameplay than are listed. Overall, I think this patch is a positive for the game but still won't change most people's minds on it.

After patch 2.0 these minor bugs still exist:

-Unable to rotate shoes in the shoe creator.
-The Elbow band with Number is bugged. If you use the number 1 in anyway for jersey number the last name won't appear on back of jersey during gameplay.

-2k oversight/bug: The retro era teams names have been changed since NBA 2k25.
The Jordan Era Teams now say 91-92 Chicago Bulls 91-92 Detroit Pistons instead of Chicago Bulls and Detroit Pistons like they did in 2k25. Now we can no longer cleanly create era rosters from other years.

A minor update (Patch 2.1) has come through. Patch notes are as follows:

• Returned the ball collision sensitivity on escape dribble moves to pre-Patch 2.0 levels based on community feedback. The improved responsiveness for well-timed, intentional steal attempts remains.
• Updated the shot meter to properly reflect the green window bonuses of the Poster Machine Takeover Ability.
• Resolved a reported hang that could occur when attempting to load a MyCAREER save.
• Fixed a hang following a press conference in the Out of Bounds story.

That's frustrating, a shame to hear none of that was fixed. I wonder if the labels for the Eras teams are going to have to be changed via an official roster update instead, or if it's something that's hardcoded this year. Either way, once again I agree that it's a distracting look.

Do you also have the same bug after an update? For example the ball goes out of bounds but it writes "personal foul".
