Original Story:
Visual Concepts has not released the official patch notes just yet! We’re expecting them to release it within the day. Thankfully, the community is here to lend a hand. Here’s what we know that got changed (and not fixed):
Updates from Mike Wang on next patch, recent hotfixes, and badges. from NBA2k
Recent hot fix went in to fix the easy special delivery team takes and slight nerf to contact dunks. Let me know if further changes are needed. Looking into post hook exploits, fading 3’s, and OP blinders badge. Any other badges need adjusting?
Initial fade fix will come via patch. But after that, it will be possible to adjust independently without affecting other shot types with hot fixes. Will be looking for feedback until (almost) everyone is happy.
hey @Beluba, any eta on the upcoming next-gen patch?
We’re working on it.
Contact dunks are way to common, u literally get dragged into it, maybe add contact blocks if you know what I mean
Agreed. It’s in the plans for 22.
How about nerfing charges on next gen. Any time I drive majority of the time it turns into a charge animation
I’ll tighten it up by early next week
As you can see, the long loading screen is stll there, which I hoped would be the first one they’d fix. Same as before, if you spot any gameplay-related changes or technical fixes, feel free to let us know down in the comemnts below.
