NBA 2K17 has a 1.07 game update that’s currently live on PS4. Full patch notes are available below courtesy of the NBA 2K Facebook Page. In addition, we have extra commentary from gameplay designer Mike Wang and the playing community.
The patch itself weighs a hefty 7.523 GB on Sony’s console, which is pretty close to its predecessor. In terms of revisions, Wang mentions over-dribbling prior to shots will see a noticeable drop in field goal percentages. There will also be a server-side turning update dispatched today that nerfs the effectiveness of contested three-pointers.
Beyond that, it appears that prior +1 stamina boosts in practice will now only occur when working on free throws, as opposed to other types of shots.
Another heavily discussed change comes to MyCourt mode. Instead of getting the ball back when making a field goal in 2s pickup, possession of the ball will switch to the opposition for both two and three-pointers. This subject was recently addressed in a poll from 2K community manager Ronnie Singh. Because most players were in favor of the adjustment, it was officially implemented. As a result 2s games may be longer, but the gameplay is ultimately fairer.
No release date has been announced for the patch on Xbox One, PC or last-gen consoles, but we suspect the file will be posted to those servers over the next few hours or days.
