    Only one player was adjusted dramatically in today's NBA 2K16 roster update. The struggling Kevin Love got dropped by 3 points and now stands at 82 Overall. Love took significant hits in attributes like Offensive Consistency (-15), Defensive Consistency (-10), multiple Defensive IQ categories and multiple Shooting categories. He has averaged only 12.5 points since the start of December, shooting 37%, and has remained a liability on defense. He played especially awful in the re...

    Every year there are three constants in the final end-of-year NPD sales rankings. Madden, NBA 2K, and FIFA are undoubtedly going to be found taking up 3 of the 10 slots. For the third time in the last four years the Madden NFL franchise has finished second in sales in North America over the 12 month period. Madden NFL 16 only sold fewer copies than Call of Duty: Black Ops III. Along with Madden NFL 15 and Madden NFL 13, which were second place finishes, and Madden NFL 25...

    For the first time since late November Steph Curry does not stand alone as the highest rated player in NBA 2K16.

LeBron was boosted in all of the shooting categories. In the six games played so far this month he's shooting 58% from the field. ...

    Early on during the season NBA 2K16 was updating its rosters several times a week. The pace has slowed considerably however since then, particularly in the last month due to the holidays, and today the first update since Christmas arrived. Kawhi Leonard has moved up a point to 92 Overall, making him the third highest rated player in the game. He began the season at 87 but has climbed due to performance that would have him in an MVP conversation if it weren't for Steph Curry. He's averagin...

    Roster updates for NBA 2K16 have understandably tailed off somewhat through the holidays. The most recent to come out included some movement of note however. Stephen Curry still resides in all-time great territory but has dropped a point to 95 Overall and remains as the best current day player in the game. Curry has cooled off a tad, relatively speaking that is, after an incredible start to the season. Since December 6 he's averaged "just" 26 points per game and has shot 37% from three...

    2K Sports today announced an online competition to launch in early 2016 utilizing the 2K Pro-Am Mode that debuted with NBA 2K16. Details are scarce but there will be a "huge cash prize and trip to the 2016 NBA Finals" on the line. The company is referring to this as "eSports" but given that there is no level playing field - people can pay to level their characters up and max them out - it isn't going to be considered as such. The idea here seems to be primarily about giving people who ...
