NBA 2K17 Update 1.03 Has Been Released For Xbox One

There is a new update for "NBA 2K17" and it brings in a lot of new additions and features to the hit sports video game. The newest update, 1.03, is already rolling out online and its patch notes have already been revealed. This week, 2K released Patch 1.03 for NBA 2K17 for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

 

NBA 2K17 update for Xbox One is finally available today, but is it worth the wait? 

 

2K Sports’ basketball simulation game has been plagued with several issues since it was released on Sept 20, 2016. Problems with team substitution, missing attributes, MyCareer problems and missing 92 Dream Team roster. To address the issue, 2K Sports released an NBA 2K17 update last week. Patch 1.03 was first released exclusively to PS4 gamers, but now the NBA 2K17 update has been released for Xbox One.

 

 

Yesterday, NBA 2K confirmed that the Microsoft console can already download the patch to solve issues within the game. NBA 2K17 update Xbox One can be done within the console menu.

 

Here are some of the changes and features added by the NBA 2K17 update Xbox One gamers can expect:

 

 

 

General

• Updated court floors for both the New York Knicks and the Milwaukee Bucks.   
• Uniform improvements including the addition of a number of patches (e.g. Pacers 50th anniversary patch) and changes to more accurately represent uniforms for a number of teams.   
• Addressed an issue where some pre-order users were unable to see the ’92 Dream Team on the Play Now team select menu.

 

Gameplay

• Reduced the frequency of lob passes and increased pass speeds across the board.
