‘NBA 2K20’ gameplay update: Devs issue ‘small patch’ while promising more efforts to improve the game

The official launch of “NBA 2K20” was eventful and disappointing to many fans of the game. However, to be fair to the developers, they have been addressing the gameplay issues little by little just like when they recently released a small patch to improve players’ experience in the Neighborhood mode.

‘NBA 2K20’ gameplay update: Devs address some issues in the Neighborhood

One of the latest fixes that developers issued for “NBA 2K20” addresses a bug in the Neighborhood game mode. With the patch, released last week, players should no longer experience the game freezing whenever they leave the Neighborhood.

Developers admit that this is just a “small patch update,” but they also promised they are preparing more updates to improve the overall “NBA 2K20” gameplay. This is also not the first patch that devs have released since the game went live on Sept. 6.

Over a week since the game’s official released, developers issued more patch notes at once to address a series of “NBA 2K20” bugs reported. One of the most common issues is the game crashing or hang intermittently when opening various game modes and accessing several menus.

Some reported bugs on the MyCAREER and MyPLAYERS modes were also addressed. There was also an exploit in “NBA 2K20’s” MyTEAM that previously allowed gamers to assign a player to a position not included in its description. Many gamers were also disappointed after not receiving their rewards in MyTEAM matches; luckily, these issues have been fixed.

Developers still have many things to fix, but delivering these patches is still an improvement compared to the game’s state on day 1. Online sentiment showed more players were disappointed as soon as they tried “NBA 2K20” that #Fix2K20 hit the Twitter’s Trending page shortly after the game’s launch.
