NBA 2K24 Update 1.3 patch notes

Update 1.3 for NBA 2K24 brings some much-needed tweaks to defensive coverage. The game’s stability while exploring The City has also been improved.

Developer Note

We are continuing to work towards resolving the most user-impacting issues being reported. The team is currently working on an all-encompassing patch that will be releasing in early-mid October. That patch will contain fixes and improvements spanning the entire game, including a number of community-reported items that required a longer internal testing runway.

Gameplay

  • Tightened up perimeter defensive coverage checks to reduce “ghost contests”.
  • Increased the make window size of open meter dunks.

City/Pro-Am/Rec/Theater

  • A number of fixes to overall game stability while in the City have been made to improve user experience.
  • Resolved an issue at the end of Rec games that would send the user to the game’s main menu following a black screen.
  • Functionality and stability improvements have been made to the Social Menu as we work to provide a more seamless experience.

MyCareer/Quests/Progression

  • The RISE-specific Heat Check Booster has been adjusted to activate after 3 made shots in a row rather than 5.
  • Fixed a user-reported issue that caused an indefinite hang when attempting to load a MyCAREER save.
  • Resolved a rare issue preventing rewards from being received upon the completion of some quests, including Rebirth and certain Badge Perks.
  • Closed a loophole that could cause issues getting through the offseason when attending practice after the final game of the NBA season.
  • Made some adjustments to ensure that Flashback games can be played at any time during the NBA season.
