NBA 2K18 Patch 6 is in the process of releasing across PS4, Xbox One and Switch, so 2K has revealed the full patch notes for the update. Those hoping for microtransaction tweaks won’t find any on this list, but there are some pretty helpful fixes.
- Trivia will be re-enabled in the 2K Zone in MyCAREER once all consoles have received this update. If you have not yet tried it out, 2K Zone Trivia provides 25 VC for every question you answer correctly!
- Users will no longer experience a hang when attempting to read texts from Bryan in MyCAREER.
- Fixed an issue where Bryan would stop sending users texts to pick up their endorsement VC cheques in MyCAREER.
- Addressed a hang that could occur in the Gatorade Training Facility right before starting an activity.
- Addressed a case where some users were seeing their custom created shoes appearing differently in-game than how they looked in the editor.
- The camera will no longer focus on the crowd when play resumes when called right before a free throw in Pro-Am and Play Now Online games.
- Fixed a case where the playoffs would fail to advance after completing a round during an offline MyCAREER.
- Squads will now remain intact when choosing to Play Game after completing a Ruffles Tournament game.
- Michael Jordan’s tongue should now look a little more Mike-like
While the patch’s PS4 and Switch file sizes have yet to be determined, the currently available Xbox One build weighs in at a fairly hefty 3.62GB. We’d imagine the update will be similarly large on other platforms.
This patch arrives about four weeks after patch 5, which offered a far more substantial overhaul to gameplay, glitches and the game’s online social hub called The Neighborhood. That update addressed longstanding problems with shoes and VC payouts after games. It’s plain to see the second patch of the month doesn’t cover as much ground, but that’s at least one small sign the base experience might finally be reaching stability. The trivia feature is also solid VC boost for those with lots of basketball knowledge or a talent for Google searches.
Patch 6 is not live on PS4 or Switch at this time, but we suspect that to change very soon.
NBA 2K18 is available now on PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Switch and PC. Since its release in September, it has remained one of 2017’s top-selling games.
