NBA 2K24 update 1.3 patch notes: Defense changes, MyCareer fixes, more

The NBA 2K24 1.3 update is set to bring a whole heap of changes to the game, addressing some of the most important issues while also improving overall gameplay balance and stability.

2K has also released a timeline for what has been labeled an “all-encompassing patch” that’s set to arrive in early-mid October. That update will contain more fixes and improvements for the game, including some improvements that needed a longer internal testing runway.

But, for now, this update, while seemingly smaller than the one coming next month, brings more balanced gameplay and refined defensive coverage, in particular.

The update also brings adjustments to City, MyCAREER, and other modes, as well as many enhancements and fixes.
