What are the causes for error code EFEAB30C on NBA 2K21?

There’s been a number of possible reasons that we’ve compiled that might be the ones causing this error code. Let’s discuss each of them briefly below.

Game client is outdated.

Error codes like EFEAB30C are generally triggered when NBA 2K game needs to be updated. If there’s an update while you’re in the middle of a game, a notification will be shown for such. 

For example, when you are playing MyCareer mode and there’s a new update coming in, you may get this error code at the lower portion of the screen. Closing MyCareer and going back to the main menu will allow the download and installation of the update. Afterwards, the game should be back to normal.

Server issues.

Server troubles can sometimes trigger all sorts of errors. Some NBA 2K21 players may find it hard to reconnect to an online mode again once error EFEAB30C shows up. If this is what’s happening in your case, you should check the game servers to see if there’s any known outage or maintenance.

Corrupted game files.

In some cases, damaged game files may falsely trigger an error code. If NBA 2K21 game is already updated but you continue to get this error, there may be a problem with your local files. 

To fix error EFEAB30C due to corrupted files, you can either use your platform’s repair tool, or you can try to reinstall the game.

Software issues.

Another possible reason why you may be getting this error can be due to a deeper issue with your PC’s or console’s software. Depending on your platform, you may need to delete and reinstall NBA 2K21 to fix error EFEAB30C.
