The latest patch, the sixth of them, features updates for gameplay, MyCAREER, Neighborhood, Pro-Am, MyTEAM, MyGM and MyLEAGUE aspects of the game. Here’s some of what gamers can find within the new NBA 2K19 patch update 6.
NBA 2K19 Patch Update: Gameplay updates
In terms of NBA 2K19 gameplay, there are plenty of people complaining about how the defense works within the game. 2K indicated that they’ve improved the AI defensive switch logic when it comes to defending inbounds passes or pick and roll plays. They also, indicated that multiple pass steal attempts won’t be ignored anymore. So for a gamer who presses steal too much, they should have a chance at stealing the ball now.

A rule involving the shot clock in the game has been correctly applied. If a player is fouled and the time on the shot clock is lower, it will reset to 14 seconds. That should give gamers a more realistic aspect of the way it’s been called in the NBA.
NBA 2K19 Patch Update: MyCAREER, Pro-Am, MyLEAGUE
These three popular modes in the game have been addressed through the NBA 2K19 patch update. In the MyCAREER/Neighborhood aspect of the game, fixes have come for squad traveling on the Subway, as well as an improvement in “ball pickup radius” during the Dodgeball game. Additionally, Virtual Currency (VC) is now earned when a user completes a Neighborhood game after leaving the “Ante-Up” building in the game.
In Pro-Am, 2K has provided a fix for matchmaking. In addition, 2K fixed a glitch “where opposing players would sometimes show in the Pro-Am Shootaround before the game.”
MyGM and MyLEAGUE have a few updates as well. For instance, in shared team designs, alternate uniforms should now properly upload or download for gamers. That’s just one example in addition to overall stability improvements for the MyLEAGUE Online mode. All of the latest patch notes are available on 2K’s Facebook post.
NBA 2K19 Patch Update: Lingering gameplay issues?
Even with the latest improvements, gamers are still asking for some important fixes they want to see. For example, some people believe the game still has its defensive issues including an invisible defensive wall. For example, gamers are indicating the body sensitivity on defense is too much. One comment even noted how when you run into a screen you lose the ball. Another said the only way to score in the game is “off the ball.”
A few other issues that gamers are asking for resolution of include being able to change a jump shot in the MyCourt or Team practice, as well as a glitch where defenders “freeze.” In the comment, the gamer indicates it happens when trying to run from behind an offensive player with the ball to go around them.
If enough gamers continue to complain about the gameplay and AI issues, 2K Sports may eventually work these into their next NBA 2K19 update.
