The team at 2K Games and Visual Concepts has today released a substantial new update for NBA 2K22. The patch, which has only been released for PS5 and Xbox Series X players, is the third one that has arrived since the game launched earlier this month. And when it comes to overall changes that have been made, this update is likely the biggest one so far. 

In a general sense, update version 1.6 for NBA 2K22 continues to bring a number of stability improvements and bug fixes to the various modes within the game. Additionally, some gameplay and systemic tweaks have also been made, notably in the MyTeam and MyCareer game modes.
