NBA 2K16 classic Steve Nash

The first patch for NBA 2K16 arrived today on PlayStation 4 and is expected on Xbox One soon. The update’s focus is heavily on getting the 2K Pro-Am to work. The mode had been largely broken since the game released nearly three weeks ago. Also addressed is the inability to join other MyCourts plus a number of fixes throughout the various modes. 

GENERAL

♦Resolved a rare case where the game would hang when entering/exiting the Tattoo editor when customizing the tattoos on your MyPLAYER.

♦Addressed an issue on the main menu where the title would freeze for a period of time before proceeding to the selected action (e.g. loading a MyCAREER save).

♦Tuned player sweat so that its effects are much more visible when playing longer quarter lengths.

♦Players will no longer slide/skate when pressing the block button during an inbound state. It was funny while it lasted.

♦Tuned crowd excitement and intensity on made buzzer beaters.

♦Resolved a case where certain players (e.g. Kristaps Porzingis) would have their hairstyle change slightly when zooming in the camera very close in replay.

MyPARK/2K PRO-AM

♦Pro-Am Team Play has been added to the game! You can now play as a full team in your custom-built arenas.

♦Addressed a number of matchmaking issues that inhibited users from playing in Pro-Am Walk-On games.

♦Fixed an issue where your player would sometimes appear with the incorrect height (if you had more than one MyCAREER save file) when entering MyPARK/Pro-Am from within MyCAREER.

♦Fixed a rare case where the ball would get stuck in the High Roller courts, thus preventing a game from concluding.

♦Improved voice chat support in both MyPARK and 2K Pro-Am.

♦Improved the animation of the skateboard in MyPARK. If you don’t have this, get it. You can move between courts faster than those that are on-foot!

♦2K Beats will now continue to play after finishing a game in MyPARK.

MyCAREER/MyCOURT

♦Fixed an issue where some users were unable to join their friends’ MyCOURTs.

♦Fixed an issue where the host user was unable to send MyCOURT invites after leaving MyPARK/Pro-Am with a squad.

♦Addressed a number of issues with Accolades not unlocking at the appropriate time within MyCAREER.

♦Pressing the back button will no longer cause the game to hang from the MyCAREER NEXT menu after being eliminated from the playoffs.

MyGM/MyLEAGUE

♦Numerous tuning and code enhancements to improve simulated player stats.

♦Playoff games (within a series) can no longer be played out of order in MyLEAGUE Online.

♦Found and fixed a case where visiting certain submenus with no head coach would cause the game to hang.

♦Fans of relocated/rebranded teams will no longer hold up signs referencing the previous identity of the team.

♦Fixed a rare hang that could occur when the ticker referenced a previous game result where all of the players on the team have since been traded.

♦Selecting to load a custom draft class will no longer cause a game hang in the MyGM offseason if you had previously been fired during that same offseason.
