Take-Two released a brand new patch for NBA 2K21 on October 7, and this update was, in part, designed to prepare the title for the next few weeks. The patch includes the addition of Halloween-themed additions to 2K Beach, plus preparations for other events that will take place over the next two months. Additionally, several new gameplay changes were made, including one that involves dribble moves. Now, Hall of Fame (purple) Tight Handles badges are required to perform park dribble animations.
