New NBA 2K22 Update Releases Before Season 5

02/23/2022 03:38 pm EST

Season 5 of NBA 2K22 is set to finally kick off later this week on February 25th. Prior to that time, however, 2K Games has today released a new update for the title across all platforms that paves the way for the game's next season. Although there aren't a drastic number of alterations that have come about in this patch, a handful of important tweaks have now been made all the same. 

For the most part, this new NBA 2K22 update has made a number of visual fixes to various players that appear in the game. Dozens of players have had their likenesses updated with this patch, making them more similar to their real-world counterparts. 

When it comes to actual gameplay adjustments, though, there's not a lot to write home about with patch 1.10 for NBA 2K22. In a general sense, 2K Games has just rectified a handful of bugs and other errors that have been affecting some players in recent weeks. So if you're someone who has also had these problems, hopefully, they'll now be a thing of the past.

If you'd like to check out the full patch notes for this new update in NBA 2K22, you can find them attached below for both current-gen and next-gen platforms.
