NBA 2K24 Patch 1.2 Notes

MyCareer mode, a favorite among many, wasn’t without its issues. The patch has made it easier for all player types to progress. A significant fix addresses a bug that prevented players from advancing to the second NBA season. In a nod to basketball history, Michael Jordan’s position on the GOAT tier list has been solidified; he can’t be surpassed until a player wins seven championships.
Shooting Mechanics Debate
Shooting in NBA 2K has always been a topic of debate. The developers have emphasized that there’s no RNG (Random Number Generation) in shooting, making it purely skill-based. However, this has sparked discussions among players.
Some argue that a purely skill-based system might not reflect the unpredictability of real-life basketball, while others appreciate the challenge it presents.
MyNBA
