If you’re buying NBA 2K21 on Blu-ray then be prepared to set aside some time and hard-drive space for the basketball simulation’s day one patch, as it weighs in at an ankle breaking 26.3GB on the PlayStation 4. While you’ll be able to play the game without it installed, you won’t be able to play online or download the latest roster data. In other words, you’re going to want to set aside some time before grabbing it.
So, what does the gigantic update entail? “Improved the stability of the title in addition to a number of general improvements to the user experience,” the patch notes state. If you’ve purchased the game from the PlayStation Store then the patch should be automatically bundled with your pre-load, and thus you’ll be able to get started as soon as the title’s available in your time zone. Nevertheless, if you need to kill some time while you wait, then why not check out our NBA 2K21: Best Builds for MyPlayer and MyCareer guide?

So what the hell did they submit to certification? Last year’s game? Just to hit the street date that can’t be missed? And then add in the new stuff after?
@Itsacardgame Yes, just because "laziness + internet allowed it".
I really hope next gen, Sony cracks down on these generic patch notes. Only don't is allowed to give only stability updates
What a joke a massive patch for a sportgame...
It's like the old EA Sports saying: "Get the ***** outta my building."
@Pat_trick No wonder EA Sports don’t say “It’s in the game” anymore, all these sports games need massive patches at launch so it clearly isn’t in the game.
Haha this game. It's almost like they're trying to get as much bad publicity as possible
Thats not massive...warzones patches are massive this is pah...must try harder..
If you have NBA2k20, don't waste your money on this.
Its literally a copy and paste with a roster update and a 2 hour story for MyCareer.
@Netret0120 like every literation each year then
If my business sold unfinished goods we would be sued for not fit for purpose. However if you're a software developer can push what ever **** out the door and say the update is for stability and that some how gets around the loopholes.
@Nakatomi_Uk
Pretty much lol.
Thats why i never buy this brand new. I wait for the inevitable $4 sale or it comes on PS Plus.
@Northern_munkey
When a patch is bigger than GTA 5 (82.4GB)
Madness. This practice is insane
we need NBA Live to be good.. over 2K and their gambling bs and massive patches
It's probably the next batch of in-game adverts being patched in!
