NBA 2K15 Week Two Ratings Changes
2K Sports has made great strides with the roster update support for NBA 2K15. They're arriving daily now with changes to just about everything - accessories, shoes, injuries, rotations, signature shots, tendencies and of course ratings.
One positive being seen already is a willingness to adjust big name players down. That's something 2K hesitated to do in the past. Moving LeBron James down a point is significant not because it makes him worse in the game but in demonstrating they're now m...

NBA 2K15 vs NBA Live 15 Player Face Comparisons – Part One
The always popular player face comparisons are back! It's unfortunate that there are so few opportunities to do these type of things due to the lack of competition in sports gaming. However with both EA Sports and 2K Sports touting their respective face scanning procedures NBA 2K15 vs NBA Live 15 should make for a good one.
All captures were made through the same process to ensure even ground and there will be 30 faces total put on display. The majority are well known players along with a...
NBA Live 15 Yet To Receive a Roster Update
While the competition has turned a corner in terms of roster updates the NBA Live series continues to struggle with it. NBA Live 14 at one point in the season went for over a month without an update and now over a week into this season NBA Live 15 is still without one.
That means among the inaccuracies are Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook still in the starting lineup for the Thunder, Steve Nash starting for the Lakers, J.J. Barea missing from the Mavericks, and all sorts of other dis...
NBA 2K15 Roster Updates Keep Coming; Player Ratings Now Being Adjusted
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 Thompso...
2K Sports Finally Delivering Proper Roster Updates With NBA 2K15
Post-release support has always been a glaring weakness of the NBA 2K series. One aspect of that has been the lack of consistent roster updates. They were sporadic at best - often inaccurate and wholly inadequate.
That has finally changed with NBA 2K15. Rosters are being updated now on a daily basis and it involves more than just player movement and rotations. Adjustments are being made to accessories and shoes, injuries and returns are being reflected immediately, tendencies are being ch...
The Hidden Gem of NBA Live 15 Is The ESPN Camera Angle
When considering what the ESPN license means for sports video games most would cite broadcast presentation and maybe commentary teams. However there are other elements that can potentially be implemented and one shines in NBA Live 15. The game has the authentic ESPN camera angles for each arena and it might be the best option to use when playing.
Similar to how the TV camera shifts for baseball pitching views from stadium to stadium, and in MLB: The Show that changes up the way each...
Taking A Look at the Updated Faces From The NBA Live 15 Day One Patch
Among the items listed in the day one patch for NBA Live 15 are updated player faces for four specific players. I went in and grabbed three of them for comparison sake to see just how improved the faces are from those that shipped with the game.
Joakim Noah looks the most different with changes more subtle to Derrick Rose and Carmelo Anthony. Check out the comparison images below by clicking the thumbnails and leave your observations in the comments!
