Over the weekend I wrote about how well 2K Sports has been doing with roster updates for NBA 2K15 – a stark departure from how they have historically struggled to provide any semblance of sufficient post-release support. The new dedication to rosters continues and now the ratings and tendency changes have started to come in making the updates about more than just the reflection of injuries and changes to accessories being worn.
The biggest beneficiaries so far are Chris Bosh, Klay Thompson, and Anthony Davis. Even Tristan Thompson gets recognition for his game-saving performance for the Cavs where he grabbed 12 offensive rebounds. Meanwhile a few highly-touted rookies take a hit following their first performances.
