Did the credits, played blacktop, no updates… check the game info.. the game is up to date… please help 2k still hasn’t answered me but was told yesterday that tey were going to soon but still no 2k and its been a day
I’m going through the same problem bro. Have you found a solution yet ?
When loading into a career game the game boots me back to my court every time so I can’t play any games or practices I’ve done everything even contact 2ksupport and they give the same weak ass bullshit high volume of tickets. We pay to much money to be going through all these hassels especially when they aren’t getting resolved. Oh and for everybody who don’t know how to fix yo player being invisible you just go to the features menu and redo his face and accept and save the changes and your characters appearance will come back
I have the same problem on xbox one. The bag walks in (my char is invisible) and when I press “proceed” the games goes back to the loading screen. Cant access any games or the schedule in my career as a result. Pretty lame man.
Hmm sir my problem is when i started the game it’s fine the only problem is when im playing blacktop or play now players has a discoloration like if i turned off my color correction settings they became all black if it’s on they will become color green.
I have the same problem of colors with black players, the game itself is colorless. Much drop FPS and stutterings. My game is unique. Wait a correction patch from 2K.
