NBA 2K16 Update #4 Released on PS4, Coming Soon to Xbox One & PC

Live on PlayStation 4 in North America, with a PC and Xbox One release scheduled for later this week, NBA 2K16 update #4 is over 2GB and fixes issues with the game, turns down the frequency of missed alley-oop and putback dunks when open, and more.

With 2K mentioning that “all patch fixes will work in your existing game mode saves (unless specifically noted otherwise),” here’s the full list of patch notes for today’s NBA 2K16 update:

General

• Addressed a hang that can occur when editing/applying tattoos in Edit Player.
• Resolved a bug where one or more users in a co-op game would lose control of their player at some point during the game.
• Fixed a disconnect issue that some users were seeing during online games.
• (PC) Fixed a corruption issue where some users were experiencing hangs, missing art assets, and infinite loads. Please ensure that your virus scanning software (e.g. Avast) whitelists your Steam folder/directory. This is required for new content to properly download and install.

MyCareer/MyPark/MyCourt

• The correct records and rep levels will now be shown for the players on the MyPark loading screen.
