NBA 2K21 Patch 2 Notes
NBA 2K21 Patch 2 Notes
The latest patch addresses every mode in the game and perhaps most importantly, it fixes the issue that would cause players to be kicked offline after executing a green release.
Also of major importance, this patch will include a larger shot meter, which is a direct result of fans who have maintained complaints about the shooting difficulty in the game.
Take a look at these details provided to me by 2K just prior to the official release of the information.

*Improved audio logic for PA announcer, crowd, halftime and studio show, sideline reporting, and special guest commentators.

Improved art, lighting, and text readability for various menus throughout the game.
