Released last night, NBA 2K17 update 1.06 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One fixed multiple issues with the game, including one where pass icons weren’t appearing for PS4 Pro owners when playing in 4K. According to reports, 1.06 is a 7.4GB download on PS4 and a 2.6GB download on Xbox One.
Here’s the full list of patch notes:
General
- The Hornets will now have their correct court projection during the pre-game presentation.
- Fixed an indefinite simulating screen that would occur when your MyPLAYER retired after the completion of his 20-year MyCAREER.
- Fixed a hang that would occur in MyGM/MyLEAGUE when attempting to enter the Staff Signing experience when the team had no Assistant Coach (retired) and an expired Head Coach.
- Addressed an issue in MyGM/MyLEAGUE where a league filled with Classic and Euroleague teams would sometimes hang late in the season when simulating.
- Fixed a MyTEAM Challenge case where the in-game overlay would claim the challenge was not successfully completed when it actually was.
- Addressed a case where a MyTEAM card that was sent to the Auction House could still appear in lineup menu as being available (when it actually wasn’t).
Gameplay
- Fixed an issue where pass icons were not appearing for users playing in 4K on the PS4 Pro.
- Removed some long, drawn out dribble loss (pickup) animations from the body up system to improve responsiveness.
- Made some aggressive bump back dribble collisions MyPARK only.
- Prevent defenders from being able to steal the ball from an inbounder immediately after checking it in when playing in MyPARK.
- Make sure all players are in position before checking the ball when playing half-court games in MyPARK.
- Sped up the CPU’s ability to get into its offensive sets and run plays.
- Fixed an issue that would sometimes cause CPU-controlled ball handlers to run out of bounds when attacking the baseline.
- Cleaned up an issue that lead to unrealistic speed bursts in some size-up escape and combo moves.
- Fixed a case that caused the wrong dribble move to queue up when attempting to perform driving combo moves (e.g. double crossover).
- Updated Broadcast Stadium cameras for Bucks, Mavericks, Kings, and Clippers.
- Beluba camera updated to zoom out more in transition and to have a wider range of zoom and height adjustment settings.
MyPark/2K Pro-Am
- A number of performance improvements to solidify the Pro-Am experience.
- Fixed an issue that would cause some users to hang when attempting to hop from one park to another.
- Users can now unequip the skateboard and mascot outfits from their MyPLAYER.
2K also says that many other small bug fixes and adjustments were made game-wide, and all patch fixes will work in your existing game mode saves unless noted otherwise.
If you missed the news yesterday, NBA 2KVR Experience is releasing today for PlayStation VR.

Short PS4 Games Worth Playing

ABZÛ
Giant Squid's ABZÛ is an unforgettable adventure that has players swimming with all kinds of aquatic life. It's one of the most visually stunning games the PS4 has to offer, and any fan of Journey (which is another short game absolutely worth playing) should check it out.
-
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
Originally released on PS3, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is an inventive puzzle game that has players controlling two separate characters with the controller's analog sticks. The control scheme isn't just a gimmick, as it leads to one of the most emotional moments in any video game ever. The PS4 version of the game runs and looks much better, and comes with the added bonus of director's commentary.
-
Firewatch
Firewatch is a beautiful first-person adventure game that isn't afraid to take chances with its narrative. It offers a gorgeous look at one person's isolated summer job that doesn't go as planned. Recent updates have brought in commentary and a free mode roam giving players even more bang for their buck.
-
Gone Home
If any game excels at environmental storytelling, it's Gone Home. Fullbright's first-person adventure game manages to create a fully realized world by allowing players to explore a house filled with objects and is able to tell a meaningful story through a series of letters and other objects. It only takes a single afternoon to unravel Gone Home's mystery, but it'll stick with players much longer.
-
INSIDE
Few games feel as polished as Playdead's INSIDE. Every moment feels meticulously crafted and it's a true accomplishment how the game manages to teach the player all of its mechanics without any dialogue. It also ends up telling one heck of a narrative and by the end you'll be wanting to discuss your interpretation of the game with others.
-
Job Simulator
Job Simulator is one of VR's best experiences and only takes a few hours to complete. The game, which requires two PlayStation Move controllers, has players acting out ridiculous versions of several different jobs (office worker, mechanic, chef). Each job is filled with hilarious jokes and is just fun to do in the game's wacky version of history. Definitely check it out if you picked up PlayStation VR.
-
Octodad: Dadliest Catch
Octodad: Dadliest Catch may not be very long, but it'll have players laughing the entire time. Young Horse's hilarious game about a totally average dad is made by its seemingly cumbersome control scheme. Doing mundane tasks such as getting groceries is now an accomplishment, but every moment is an enjoyable one.
-
Rez Infinite
Rez Infinite is an absolute experience in virtual reality. Not only does the classic shooter adapt well to being played with a headset, it feels more natural than ever. The original game isn't the biggest draw, however, as the new Area X is one of the most visually stimulating experiences I've ever witnessed. It legitimately had me in tears after playing and shows how truly impressive VR can be.
-
Shu
The gorgeous looking Shu doesn't have any one gimmick or mechanic that stands out, and instead is just a really polished platformer. This ends up paying off, though, as it almost feels like a "best of" compilation of the entire genre going through different mechanics before moving onto new ones in the next stage. Every level is a unique experience and it never feels like the game is wasting your time as a player.
-
SteamWorld Dig
SteamWorld Dig is a Metroidvania-style platformer filled with personality. Players help the robotic cowboy Rusty on his journey to find out what happened to his lost uncle by digging into a mysterious mine filled with resources. It's only a few hours long, but it shows that the genre can shine in short bursts.
