That type of patch would probably be another month or so away based on track record from pas...
Server Issues Wreaking Havoc With NBA 2K15
It's a familiar story - server outages on release and in the days following for an NBA 2K game. What shifted dramatically last year with 2K14 was the impact server outages would have on consumers.

Madden NFL 15 Patch Details
Despite frustration from some consumers EA Sports was not actually behind schedule in terms of releasing the first patch for Madden NFL 15. Anticipation has been high for it however and updates did arrive today on PS4, Xbox One, 360, and PS3. That puts it ahead of the typical time frame for the first big patch with them having landed in previous years in mid-late October.

How Has Your Face Scanning Experience Gone With NBA 2K15?
The face-scan technology introduced in NBA 2K15 led the way in terms of anticipated features for the game based on the recent poll. However as many are discovering now it's a difficult process to complete - having spent over 30 mins frustrated by it I've just given up for now - and even those who have success the final product may be some form of alien creation.
