The latest 2K22 update is officially live, according to the NBA 2K Twitter account. This is effective as of November 3, 2021.

The notes are brief compared to some others, with the focus primarily on making the Gym Rat badge attainable for current-gen players, as well as making the Rebirth quest work properly.

Additionally, however, there has been an adjustment made that will “tighten collision detection” which should help to improve the game’s realness and give Slashing players some quality of life when driving the paint.

There are many unnamed bug fixes included in here as well, likely having to do with small glitches on the Cancha Del Mar’s outdoor courts and in the Rec. Each of which has had its fair share of issues since the game’s release.

Lastly, now that the NBA season is underway, fans will officially be able to see the Bucks 2020-2021 championship banner hanging in their arena. A nice touch to keep the game feeling fresh and up-to-date.
