NBA 2K21: Fixes for MyCareer and The City

For MyCareer, 2K fixed a hang when trying to enter the private workout leading into the Draft. They also addressed an issue where attribute prices could show up as negative numbers and a rare soft hang in Live Practice on the recap screen when all badges had been maxed out.

The City also had its fair shares of addressed issues. Based on the feedback received from the community, they have improved City gameplay, with more optimizations coming soon. Jump Shot Creator issues have been fixed, and they have improved stability for Garage Hoops and Gatorade Rental Court games.

There was an issue where the game would hang after purchasing boosts and entering another store. This has been addressed as well. Finally, while accepting invites to the City, the loading time will be even faster now.

2K has now fixed an issue with downloading user-expansion during MyNBA. Among other improvements are multiple hanging errors and stability issues, which are common with almost every game mode. MyTEAM had an error where the player had the wrong overall displayed, so that has been addressed.

Finally, for The W, the online experience has been improved and the hang that occurred while editing the MyPlayer’s appearance has been taken care of.
