2K games are essentially ignoring the Stadia port of NBA 2K21 from rodeoneerer's blog

If you follow Google Stadia at all across its various communities on the web, you won't have been able to go too far before stumbling across an unhappy NBA 2K21 player. I'm not personally a player of this game, but the frustration among the community was easy enough to grasp. Not only were there bugs affecting the playing experience, a major roster update deployed to other platforms was seemingly MIA on Stadia.

As some Redditors have highlighted, 2K and TellTwo games are essentially ignoring the Stadia port of NBA 2K21. Unlike most games, NBA 2K21 is an ongoing title, relying on updates from the publisher to keep it in line with the real-life NBA seasons. 2K fans have certainly had issues with how new releases are treated on updates like this, but the situation on Stadia is especially bad.

Apparently, rosters in NBA 2K21 on Stadia specifically have not been updated since Draft Day; November 18, 2020. This is the biggest issue at play here, as a lack of official roster updates puts the game out of sync with the actual season, but this is only happening on Stadia. On both next-gen and last-gen consoles, roster updates are coming in fairly regularly. On a less important note, team uniforms also haven’t been updated on the Stadia port for the 2020-21 NBA season.

Ironically, as we were putting together this story, the rosters were finally updated, but the near two-month gap can’t be ignored.

2K’s own support agents don’t even know what Stadia is despite having five games on the service (WWE 2K Battlegrounds, NBA 2K21, PGA Tour 2K21, Borderlands 3, and NBA 2K20). Like, seriously? They really suggested to do a cache clear and reinstall the game, both of which you can’t even do on Stadia.

Some players in the last couple of days have suggested the updated rosters are already rolling out, but the benefit at least of a cloud platform like Stadia is that you won't have to download any of the patches. As for the future, only time will tell, but hopefully players can get back to it in the knowledge the platform is still very much being supported.

Bugs are also happening regularly on the Stadia port, with some issues causing the game to crash entirely. This appears to be especially common in online play. The folks over at PixelSpot put together a huge list of bugs they’ve encountered in the Stadia port, and it doesn’t take long to find on Reddit or Twitter that they’re not alone.
