NBA 2K17 is expected to get its 1.05 update sometime this week across PS4, Xbox One and other supported platforms. 2K Games and its community managers have given us the inside scoop on the upcoming fixes.
The official word on the update arrived Saturday in a tweet from the game’s official account. “The next NBA 2K17 update will address PROAM divergences as well as fix an issue preventing roster updates from occurring,” it reads. There’s more to be found, and it will all be “coming soon,” according to the message.

While we don’t yet know precisely when the changes will go live, 2K community manager Chris Manning has also promised that “it’s close” and he’ll let his followers know as soon as he has a more detailed answer to report.
He’s also tweeted explanations for some of the “more” that the official tweet doesn’t discuss. Of most importance to fans right now is the broken Relentless Finisher badge that buffs contact shots. Manning has since said “they’ll be looking into the badge [and] inside scoring as a whole.” As noted in a previous article, illegal screens will also be coming back to PRO AM mode, which should make things a bit more difficult for sharpshooters.
Probably the biggest issue now that the NBA season is officially underway is that no roster updates have been released at this time. The reason for that is officially unknown, but some of the game’s most dedicated players believe it may have something to do with MyCareer save file corruption caused by overwriting the static rosters within that mode. As a result, stat tweaks and changes from real-world games have not arrived yet.
Just like all previous NBA 2K17 updates, this one will release progressively across all platforms including PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.
