Addressed a rare issue with Dark Matter player cards not displaying the player reveal during pack openings (MyTEAM). Addressed an audio issue with Dark Matter card animations (MyTEAM). Prep work for Season 6 of MyTEAM. It’s. . . peculiar. Various stability and performance issues have been addressed to further improve the overall experience.
To those invested heavily in the NBA 2K21 community, it’s no secret that Visual Concepts’ next-gen version of the game has endured its fair share of growing pains. Beyond the obvious gameplay-focused cheese methods and the like, perhaps the most pressing issue present on new machines is the large assortment of crashes, error messages, save data corruption and miscellaneous bugs. While not listed in explicit detail here, the hope is that many of these major flaws have been addressed. After all, we’re pretty tired of looking at that never-ending Zion loading screen. NBA 2K21 has its issues, but stability might be its single biggest concern right now.
Today’s NBA 2K21 next-gen update arrives one week after its current-gen counterpart that updated likenesses for Thomas Satoransky, Jaylen Brown, Reggie Jackson and more. Some of these changes that weren’t already in the next-gen version likely made their way over in this new next-gen build, but several of those likenesses were vastly improved on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S to begin with. The current-gen patch also added 2K Foundation courts and some fairly inconsequential MyTeam adjustments, too.
Overall, we expected this NBA 2K21 next-gen update to be a bit more substantial, but, as long as the bugs and crashes are mostly dealt with, that’s a huge improvement over what came before.
NBA 2K21 next-gen is available now on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
