    An update released on Saturday to the MyNBA2K15 mobile app introducing an additional method of earning VC that transfers over to NBA 2K15. You can now do a daily pick'em with the league's slate of games each day. The reward is an unknown amount of VC for each correct selection because it hasn't actually worked yet.

    A new addition to the NHL 15 website is pointing towards December 8th as a significant date for the series when a 'new era' will supposedly begin.
