• 2K Beats songs that have been user-disabled will no longer play when returning to the MyCAREER landing.

MyNBA

MyNBA has been frequently updated with free agency deals and the new rookie class from the 2020 NBA Draft. NBA 2K21 Next-Gen Update 2 adds some more improvements on top.

   
• Addressed an issue with team control when entering G League games in MyNBA.
   
• You will now be awarded VC for playing G League games in MyNBA.

The W

The W also got some fixes in the new NBA 2K21 patch. This includes:

   
• Corrected a rare issue that could make your MyPLAYER become invisible in The W.
   
• Popularity will now properly increase when finishing a game of The W Online.
   
• Addressed a problem with certain animations being incorrectly equipped by default and not previewing during the selection.

Remaining Issues

• Image Upload Doesn't Work

The image uploader is still not working properly. I tested finding the images that I'd uploaded to 2K's website, and I'm still unable to find them within the game. This is pretty disappointing because the customization this feature provides is one of the best parts of MyNBA and MyTeam. Hopefully, this is fixed sooner than later.

• Unrealistic Player Drop Off in MyNBA Play With Friends

MyNBA Play With Friends is currently hampered by unrealistic declines in the attributes of top-notch young players. If you take a look at these screenshots provided by LivingLegend10, one of the foremost members of the 2K Franchise online community, you'll see some of the best young stars experiencing massive declines in the offseason.

Tests have shown this hasn't occurred in offline MyNBA.

• Likenesses Still Need Improvement

Most of the rookies still have unscanned created players for their likenesses. I know that getting these guys scanned is supremely difficult at this point. However, it would be an upgrade if 2K had someone from their art team creating more accurate faces for the rookies using image references.

Overall, the patch update has improved several aspects, but there are still a few issues that hopefully will be resolved in the future. So please continue to visit here to view them.
