If you alt+tab the game will not pop back up
Will sometimes crash during MyTeam mode.
Recent upgrades to Heroic Launcher have helped make this playable through the epic service. Custom Rosters will have invisible players from either mods, or players coming in from g-league 2021-2022 covid times. You can delete them from the roster then save it. This is the exact same on windows. This is different then my previous update where the character editor would not even load. All of the 2021-2024 rookies should work as intended, and the classic teams.
You can not edit the invisible players, or your game will crash. Just delete them, and enjoy the rosters!

Custom Characters are not available. They will either crash your game, or be invisible. This also includes classic teams, and any player added to rosters after the games release through updates. You are also unable to download any characters from the internet to add into your game. It seems to be impossible to add custom rosters, and new characters not included in the base game. Unsure if this happens in the steam variation, but it's impossible to enjoy the game through epic services like this.
You are unable to play now as well. The game will crash if you choose NBA basketball leaving you with blacktop, WNBA, and myleague.
Bugs noted above. Degraded experience for a super fan. Buy it on steam, or stick to windows version if you play thousands of hours.
I have no idea if anything is different between the Epic Store version and the Steam version, however I’m launching the game using Proton via the Heroic launcher. the game runs super fine but it crashes an awful lot. like, sometimes I can’t even load my career game that the game already crashed. other times I can play for an hour. It’s incredibly frustrating.
Runs great once the graphical settings are lowered
Had to turn most settings down to low in order to eliminate stuttering and get acceptable performance. On this same hardware with Windows installed I was able to run this game at near max settings with no such issues.
Graphic: I had to go Low/Medium graphic setting. I was on high in W10. I have a huge lag at the engage of the game and then it runs smoothly.
Sound: Sound is cracking all the time Sometime sound and image are not sync on cinematic
Sometime the game wont shut down
Some times some missing textures, could be happening at windows as well I don't know
Some times it crashes while starting but when you start again everything is fine
I couldn't connect to 2k servers until I forced it to start with 5.13-4, haven't tested any other versions and I don't know which one was the default ( I thought it was already 5.13.-4)
If offline play is your jam, this game will run mostly fine for you.
Broadcast audio is entirely missing. I can hear on-court sounds and crowd noise but all commentator dialogue is muted.
Occasional input lag but this is likely due to my specs and not the game itself.
The game has crashed probably 5 times or so in the ~12 hours of play time I have. I have only played season mode so not sure if there is something specific therein that causes the crash. Progress is not saved when a crash occurs which is very frustrating.
I mean it's a 2k game...I was itching for a new basketball game as the last 2k I owned was 2k14 which does not work with Proton. The game performs well and looks nice but is otherwise what you'd expect from 2k: a cringy main storyline and questionable increase in value compared to the previous iteration. For me it was a huge upgrade (since the last one I owned was from 2013) and so far I have had lots of fun with season mode.
