Dynamic Living Rosters Debut With NBA 2K14
Post-release support as a whole has been a weakness of the NBA 2K series - so much so that EA Sports made roster updates coming out within an hour after every game ends one of the first features announced for NBA Live 14. 2K's updates have been released inconsistently, offered limited ratings changes, and gone with many players missing completely from the game for extended periods of time.
