patch size got nothing to do with it, its just 2k policy since 2k17 or 2k18 to not patch things out . So whatever common exploit exist it cannot be fixed because "community" uproar .
In 2k16 2k did plenty good things with patches, but your common "dribble gawd youtuber" got too unhappy about having to learn how to play and 2k changed their ways completely since then.
