In all fairness, then, the patch notes for NBA 2K21 update 1.05 are pretty thin despite the massive download size of the content. For the most part it looks like a few Legend scans got the most love, and a series of very insequential bugs have been addressed to make the experience better. The bug preventing players from getting their daily VC bonus has yet to be resolved, and team stats still don’t show up at pregame during Rec matches. While I’m sure there are plenty of smaller tweaks featured in this update that genuinely improve certain mechanics, they’re not outlined on this list. Instead, players can rest easy knowing the machines at Jeff’s Arcade (that almost nobody uses) look outstanding.

This small list of adjustments isn’t all that surprising given that Visual Concepts has been a bit slow in making sure the current-gen version of 2K21 is up to the series’ traditionally high standard. After all, most of the team is likely busy putting the final polish pass on the next-gen version of the game that’s literally days away from release. While there may be more substantial updates coming down the road, it’s difficult to expect anything truly massive this week in particular. With any luck, some of the coolest next-gen features will soon find their way to PS4 and Xbox One as well.

NBA 2K21 is available now on PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC and Sadia.
