NBA 2K18 is only a few days old, and it’s already getting an update. The NBA 2K18 Twitter account posted on Monday that a patch is coming for the game that’s demanded much of the attention of the basketball world in recent weeks.
According to Polygon, the patch will address a number of issues Xbox One players have had with the MyCAREER mode of the game that officially dropped the masses on Friday.
Users on the NBA2K Reddit page have reported trouble saving files, losing virtual currency, and other issues while playing through the immersive game mode.
A new #NBA2K18 patch is now available for XBOX One & PS4. More info later.

The official 2K tweet says the patch will be available on both Xbox One and Playstation 4, so it seems both versions of the game have had similar issues.
PS4/XB1 patch approved and releasing within next hour. Just a heads up when you get that update. More info soon.

No word on whether it fixes the glitch where Draymond Green and Kevin Durant share the same personal space while hanging out in your virtual home, but losing currency in-game does honestly seem like a bigger deal here.
Patches with games this big and involved are inevitable, so it’s good to see 2K Sports getting out in front of this. The faster they work to fix the bugs, the fewer viral videos like this will pop up to hurt the game’s reputation.

The good here, of course, is that that the game made JaVale McGee a billionaire so the net positive is already pretty high.
