"NBA 2K17" is arguably one of the best games released in 2K Sports' long-running basketball franchise so far, but that's not to say it's not without its flaws. As always, games released in this day and age don't release without issues that need to be fixed with immediate patches, and this game is no different.
The new patch for "NBA 2K17" released yesterday, which is currently only available for PlayStation 4 and is coming soon to Xbox One and PC, fixes a list of minor errors across all modes of the game. A lot of it are just cosmetic and stability fixes, such as animations not working correctly, as well as crashes and freezes happening at certain parts of the game.
GameSpot reports that the patch should apply to all of your "NBA 2K17" game saves once you download it, while PlayStation Lifestyle reports that the patch is over seven gigabytes big. One shouldn't be surprised at how big patches can get now in this age of broadband and huge games, but you'd think minor fixes don't need entire gigabytes' worth of updates just to address.
"NBA 2K17" released last week on all current-gen platforms to critical acclaim, with many saying that the game takes NBA simulation a step further than before. 2K Sports has outdone themselves this time, going to great lengths to recreate the authentic NBA experience in a video game. They've been managing to do that for a while now in previous games, but doing things such as traveling to each NBA arena and recording the audio in those locations ensure that players are as immersed as possible.
