Paul George continues to rise in ratings with latest NBA 2K16 roster update
Steph Curry is understandably getting a lot of attention to his NBA 2K16 ratings, as he now stands among the all-time greats based on his current positioning, but there are many other players exceeding expectations this season as well as those who have fallen short of them. In a piece on Sporting News this week I went through the players who have moved up the most and those that have fallen most in NBA 2K16 since the start of the season.
Another roster update for NBA 2K16 went out today a...
Steph Curry reaching an even more elite status in NBA 2K16
The start to the season for the Warriors and reigning MVP Stephen Curry has been unprecedented and unbelievable, and now NBA 2K16 is beginning to represent that. Ratings keep on rising and for Curry that means reaching a level that in the history of the league only includes a few players.
Now rated 96 Overall, Curry is tied with peak Bill Russell, Larry Bird, Shaquille O'Neal, and 1988-89 Michael Jordan. The only players above him now are peak Magic Johnson, LeBron James and Kareem Abdul-...
Alternate court for the Milwaukee Bucks added to NBA 2K16
Last week 2K Sports introduced the first alternate court in NBA 2K16, appearing when the Hardwood Classics uniforms are selected for the Golden State Warriors. It was notable that unlike the uniform additions that are made during the year any new floors will show up even within modes that were already in progress.
Now the other team that has an alternate court this year has received it in the game. The Milwaukee Bucks utilize the court when wearing the black alternate uniforms...
First alternate court makes it into NBA 2K16
2K Sports has done an admirable job of updating NBA 2K16, with not just the expected consistent roster updates and patches but also content additions that include new uniforms. A few are still missing, with many more including the Christmas jerseys anticipated sometime soon, but the majority of those that have debuted this season are in the game. Today the post-release support extended even beyond that with the addition of an alternate court.
The Golden State Warriors alternate cour...
Stephen Curry overtakes LeBron James to become the highest rated player in NBA 2K16
For the first time in the last five years of the NBA 2K series LeBron James doesn't at least share the designation of top rated player. In today's NBA 2K16 roster update reigning MVP Stephen Curry passed him by, moving up to 95 Overall, while James remains at 94. Curry began the season at 93 and has moved up after averaging 32 points, 6 assists, and 5 rebounds on 51% shooting in the remarkable 16-0 start for the Golden State Warriors.
Notable Players Up: Steph Curry (+1 to 95), Kawhi L...
Second NBA 2K16 patch makes it to Xbox One
The patch for NBA 2K16 that went out on PlayStation 4 earlier this month has gone live today on Xbox One. This latest update is much more based on community feedback than the first one in October which focused primarily on getting the Pro-Am mode to work. It has a huge impact on gameplay and nearly every mode in the game. (more…)...
New uniforms and movement in the upper-tier of players with latest NBA 2K16 roster update
There are only six players in NBA 2K16 that have an Overall Rating of 90+ and in the new roster update for the game there's shuffling at the bottom end of that elite club. DeMarcus Cousins (+3 to 90) and Kawhi Leonard (+2 to 90) received significant boosts to their ratings while James Harden (-2 to 89) and Chris Paul (-1 to 89) got dinged after disappointing starts to the season.
Cousins is averaging 28 points and 11 rebounds and Leonard is at career highs in points, rebounds, and i...

While the first patch a month ago was focused primarily on getting the Pro-Am mode to work, this one is much more based on community feedback. The update has heavy influence on gameplay and nearly every mode in the game. (more…)...
