The patch has been given a time frame of "late November" though it is possible this represents an overly conservative estimate and it could arrive sooner. Late November would put it well behind the pace set by NBA 2K12 (November 3 with an even larger one that hit on December 13) but in line with support for NBA 2K11 ...
