The third post-release patch for NBA 2K17 has arrived for both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The update frees up the ability to deliver roster updates – the first is out now also – and addresses a number of issues in gameplay and with the various modes in the game.

The patch delivers PS4 Pro support, the updated court for the Cavs, various adjustments to foul calls, fixing of illegal screens, changes to CPU defensive AI decision-making, and the ability to skip previously watched scenes in MyCareer story mode. Unfortunately, even with the patch, issues with Pro-Am reportedly have not all been solved.
