NBA 2K27 – Ver. ???
- Release date: September 17th/18th 2026
- Patch notes:
SHOOTING
- Strengthened defensive contests. Well-contested and low-percentage attempts are now less effective, while wide-open looks received a slight boost to reward smart shots.
DUNKING
- Standing dunks now succeed more often, most noticeably against average and below-average interior defenders.
- The Rise Up badge now provides a more meaningful benefit at Gold tier and above.
STEALS AND BALL SECURITY
- Addressed an issue where lower-rated defenders (and players with depleted adrenaline) could get on-ball steals more consistently than elite defenders. Steal rating is now properly rewarded on contact with the ball.
GAME SPEED
- Fixed an issue and overall game speed is now increased and/or standardized to be consistent across all modes of play.
- Additional notes: update requires no download.
