NBA 2K25 Update 1.4 patch notes: Takeover meter fix and more

NBA 2K25 is less than a week old, and developer Visual Concepts has pushed out Update 1.4 to sort out some of the pressing issues of the community.

While the launch has been relatively smooth, the feedback from the players has been mixed so far. While there are few bugs, some players haven’t liked the changes made to the core gameplay, like the success of shots. Today’s patch aims to fix some of those concerns, and it will be available on all platforms (the PC launch date has yet to be announced).

All NBA 2K25 Update 1.4 changes

Update 1.4 brings changes to several areas in NBA 2K25, starting with The City.

• Addressed a user-reported situation where players were prevented from being substituted when on extended hot streaks
• Fixed an issue that would cause the Takeover meter to drop down to Tier 1 if already at Tier 5 when Team Chemistry meter is filled.
• Arenas will now appear correctly when playing with All-Time teams at home in MyNBA.
• Expansion teams will now have proper floor when playing NBA Cup games in MyNBA.
• Fixed a user-reported disconnect that could occur at the start of the Showdown and Salary Cap games.
• Fixed an issue that prevented the “Sim to Next Appearance” option from activating as expected in MyCareer when playing on monitors with a particularly high refresh rate.
• Resolved an issue that could cause long hangs during the initial launch on sequence.
• Addressed user-reported framerate issues when playing games in Elite/Rise Beach courts.
• A number of fixes/improvements have been made to the Squad Finder features.
• The Shut It Down feature will now function as expected when playing Streetball Co-Op games.
• Resolved an exploit in The Track that allowed users to activate unrealistic times.
• Fixed a disconnect that could occur when playing games with NBA players in MyCourt.

One of the issues from here that I have encountered so far is the Takeover meter bug. I am glad that the problem caused by that particular bug has been fixed. Make sure to update your client to the latest version before jumping in to enjoy Season 1.
