NBA 2K15 Roster Update Details (10-29-14)

Feature Article

Submitted on: 10/29/2014 by Mike Stauffer

Hey everybody!

I wanted to share with you some info on roster updates in NBA 2K15. With the NBA season officially underway, the NBA 2K15 roster will be updated as frequently as possible to reflect what you see in the NBA on a nightly basis.

Since the launch of the game on October 7^th, NBA 2K15 has seen roster updates every day during the week. Many of you probably have not noticed, as this year the roster is downloaded for you automatically.

Here are a few of the many changes that you might of missed over the past few weeks (unless you were paying very close attention):

Player Movement/Additions

All team rosters are 100% accurate based on opening day. Every player who made the team, is on their respective team. Some examples of players added include:

JaKarr Sampson- PHI
K.J. McDaniels- PHI
Dwight Powell- BOS
Alex Kirk- CLE
Damien Inglis- MIL
Jarnell Stokes- MEM
Andre Dawkins- MIA
Eric Moreland- SAC
Travis Wear- NY
Jordan Clarkson- LAL
Devyn Marble- ORL
Cory Jefferson- BKN
Patric Young- NOP
Tarik Black- HOU
Clint Capela- HOU
Glenn Robinson III- MIN
Zoran Dragic- PHX
Joe Inglis- UTA
Kostas Papanikolaou- HOU

Accessory and Team Color updates

All accessories have been updated on a daily basis to represent the latest trends from their recent games. As we get into future updates I will list specific accessory changes made day to day, but to list all of the changes over the past few weeks would hurt your eyes to read, and my fingers to type :)

Head bands added for:

Isaiah Thomas
Brandon Davies
Jerryd Bayless
Sebastian Telfair
Will Barton
Drew Gooden III

Head bands removed from:

Damian Lillard
Anthony Morrow

Updated the accessory and headband colors for every team to match the most commonly used color combo for their different jerseys. Updated some of the teams shoe colors for different jerseys. Some of the examples include:

Lakers home are sleeves are now White
Pistons Blue sleeve is now more vibrant
Wizards will now wear Red Sleeves at home and Navy on the road.
Nuggets now wearing black leg accessories at home and on the road. Away uniforms wear white socks
Mavs now wearing black socks on the road
Home alternate uniforms for the Cavs, Pacers, Thunder, Knicks are now using white socks/shoes and home accessory colors
Grizzlies away sleeves now navy blue. Alternate Light blue
Updated accessory colors for some of the classic teams, including the Showtime Lakers to blue

Shoe changes

Many players have had their shoe brand/model change since last season. The shoes that players wore in the preseason were reflected in roster updates over the past few weeks. Some examples of those changes include the following:

LaMarcus Aldridge- Jordan
Nerlens Noel- UnderArmour
Jimmy Butler- Jordan
Wesley Johnson- Nike
Kyle Singler- Peak
Mario Chalmers- Nike
DeMarcus Cousins- Nike
DeMar Derozan- Nike
Shannon Brown- Jordan
Shawne Williams- Jordan
Kirk Hinrich- Adidas
Will Bynum- Peak
PJ Hairston- Under Armour
Enes Kanter- Under Armour
Courtney Lee- Nike
Damian Inglis- Nike
Jorge Gutierrez- Nike
Markel Brown- Nike
Donald Sloan- Nike
Damjan Rudez- Nike
Zoran Dragic- Nike
Grant Jerrett- Nike
Bruno Cabaclo- Nike

Tendency/Attribute changes

Due to the fact that it was the preseason, there were very limited tendency and attribute changes. The changes made were those to players that changed up their play style. An example of that is Enes Kanter, who attempted many more 3pt’s than he has in his entire career. He saw an increase in his 3pt tendency.

All of these changes were made prior to injuries being implemented in the “Official 2K Sports Roster” and can be found in the “Injury-Free Roster”. If you are interested in playing Quick Game without injuries, a new option has been added where you can download the “Injury-Free Roster”. In order to access that roster go to Options - Create Roster - Select “Injury-Free Roster” and save that roster locally.

In the update that came out this morning injuries and rotations were updated to reflect the start of the season:

Jersey # changes

Joe Inglis #2

Players out with Injuries

Jerami Grant
Joel Embiid
Michael Carter-Williams
Jason Richardson
Damien Inglis
Johnny O’Bryant
Vitor Faverani
Josh McRoberts
Andrea Bargnani
Ryan Kelly
Wayne Ellington
Steve Nash
Nick Young
Channing Frye
Victor Oladipo
Raymond Felton
C.J. Watson
Paul George
George Hill
David West
Jodie Meeks
Kawhi Leonard
Tiago Splitter
Patty Mills
Jeremy Lamb
Kevin Durant
Reggie Jackson
Anthony Morrow
Mitch McGary
Bradley Beal

Starting lineups are as accurate as possible with the given projected depth charts. As more NBA games are played look for team’s rotations to be updated on a frequent basis

For those of you looking to create your own roster or edit the current one, the “Create Roster” feature has been updated to now allow you to click “The Official 2K Sports Roster” and you will receive the latest file.

I hope you’ve enjoyed reading about some of the many changes that have been updated over the past few weeks. With each roster update I will include detailed notes as to what has changed from one update to the next. Please leave any feedback in regards to inaccuracies found in the update request thread that Steve created. I monitor that the thread frequently and a great a lot of the changes seen in the updates have come as a direct result of your amazing feedback.

Alright, now get out of here and go play some 2K!

Yea, it's kind of foul that they showed an image of him wearing them when they were promoting the game.

There are a few sneakers that can't be edited correctly, like the 13's.. The sole on the bottom should have an option for color. The 1's should have a different color option for the logo on the side, as well as the collar, base, and toe.. They shouldn't be connected when choosing a color.

I'm curious to see if Mike will also update jumpshots. Not only is Klay Thompson's timing supposed to be on quick, but so is Curry's.

I'm glad they added the ankle braces to Curry, but Iguadala wears knee sleeves, not compression pants. The sleeves rest higher than compression pants.

He's going to show them by getting the weaker game! Bwhahahaha!

# 63 Lex27 @ 10/30/14 09:46 AM

Did 2k fix the corrupted save data issue for offline play yet on the XB1? because I can't save anything in any mode offline not even simple difficulty settings, I've been stuck playing exhibition games since the release date.

How 2K can post 3 roster updates for the 360 and the 10/15, 10/28 & 10/29 roster updates be EXACTLY the same, no player movement, nothing. Let me demonstrate how bad it is for the PS3/360 users. Go to the Houston Rockets and notice that Jason Terry is on their roster because he was traded there, but then scroll down 3-4 players and you will find Alonzo Gee (the player that Terry was traded for) on the same team roster. I mean really? Is that the type of commitment PS3/360 users have to be subjected to after 2K robs them of $60 for a game that to me is not at all finished, but I would venture to say it wasn't even worked on. All they did was create new issues that everyone has to deal with ontop of existing issues. What I find very alarming is from this thread is that you mean to tell me that for years in the past 2K was able to put missing players into the roster set this quickly? Players without guaranteed contracts can be put in the roster set this soon? I mean if they are doing it now, they could've been doing this every year. See I have a huge issue when I'm told something and then it doens't happen. Shouldn't have been said in the first place. Sorry 2K, but you have forced me into a corner and I'm going LIVE when I get my XBOX ONE next month.

So...let me get this straight....you're fully aware that 2k is on point with the roster update for next gen....but yet opt for Live for next gen?

Yeah....that's just some awesome logic you got going there...

Good luck with that one bro!! Lol, Live isn't on the same level as 2k at all! But, hey if you feel that go right ahead, my suggestion would be to upgrade to XBOne /PS4 and get 2k so you can see how the game should be, rather than get Live. To each its own though. I really wish you good luck though.

I'm guessing no 20th anniversary patch for the Raptors home jerseys ???

I understand what your saying. Its been debated for ages now with 2k and online rosters but I disagree. I love how they do this. During the season the online rosters should replicate real life. If KD is out until December and your a Thunder fan, play without him, you have to adjust, just like the real team does.

# 68 Eaglerock562 @ 10/30/14 10:18 AM

Actually, no 2K is not accurate with their rosters yet. They might've added the that list of people, but there are WAY more players to be added. As far as my logic goes, my logic is not to give this company another $60. I am insulted that they would charge me $60 for a game that they have no intention of performing any of the tasks that they have performed for years, regardless of how old the console is. If you are not going to continue to support that version of the game, then why did you release a version of that game for the older consoles? And why did you charge them the same amount of the new consoles and pc's when the older consoles were getting far less of a game then the new console versions. Thats where my logic comes in. I'm gladly willing to trade 2K's gameplay which incase nobody had heard about before (one online game I played the players on both teams for 10 seconds were play soccer and kicking the ball on the court). Sorry, that's not basketball. Constantly every year changing how you shoot when shooting to the best of my knowledge was never broken to begin with. They can't fix the issues that have been around forever because I dont believe they know how, but it doesn't stop them from creating new ones to pile on. I've read great reviews of LIVE and I've spoken to the people who do the roster set (unlike the mysterious man who seems to be failing his job on the PS3/360 consoles) and not only did they already put in all the players on the list I gave them, they also included a few players NOT on my list. I believe LIVE's servers are beyond 2K's correct? So yes, I'm gladly sacrifice 2K's gameplay in favor of LIVE's accuracy and their customer service department who doesn't give me company lines as answers but will actually give me an answer to a question that I asked. I'm sorry, but for those who have a 360, the 10/15, 10/28 & 10/29 roster updates ARE THE SAME!!! A monkey humping a football could get these rosters correct better then whoever does it at that company. I've offered to do it myself and they don't have to pay me, but they will be accurate and precise.

Someone should try and reach out to ronnieO or ld and let them know we all the missing players Casper for the xbox360 and ps3

# 70 Kgthadon22 @ 10/30/14 11:06 AM

We need all the missing players including Casper ware sorry

# 71 Jumpman14 @ 10/30/14 11:06 AM

People are acting like 2k forced them to buy the game on last Gen. Its pretty much known that all their attention would go into the ps4/One versions.

# 72 olympianduke @ 10/30/14 11:12 AM

I can confirm that the new roster update(29/10/2014) does not include any of the aforementioned roster changes. I downloaded it last night(Greece XBOX360) and there is none transaction whatsoever. What I want to ask is this: I downloaded the roster from 2kshare and then loaded it from load/save screen. I've read here that you can save the new roster through create roster screen. Can this be the reason for not seeing changes? Thank you in advance.

# 73 BezO @ 10/30/14 11:18 AM

Excellent! Seems like Beds has only gotten better with more access. I'll be downloading tonight.

# 74 Serra11 @ 10/30/14 11:21 AM

Since the XBOX360/PS3 users have paid the same price for the game... Is it possible for them to receive something SIMILAR?
I'm sure it would be too much for you, dear 2K, to give them updates so detailed and well done...
But anything SIMILAR, instead of crappy, useless updates with 0 changes each one???
Really not possible?

# 75 jmaj315 @ 10/30/14 06:27 PM

Awesome!!!

Whoa wait a minute. Are you saying that that people who have the old gens should have expected this type of inconsistancy and the lack of attention to the game? I'm sorry, but you know its real simple, they could've saved themselves all this grief by simply not making a version for the old gen, but by doing so I would think that old gen users would expect them to continue to update the game as they have for years past regardless of new consoles or not. You can not justify them charging old gen users $60 and not provide roster updates, new court layouts just because they are focused on new gen. If focused on new gen then you don't release the kind of crap they released for the old gen. Nobody forced anyone to buy this game just like nobody forced 2K to disregard and ignore the old gen version of the game other then the fact that 2K has done that deliberatly and therefore you can't look at old gen users and expect them to be satisfied with that. It's almost like saying if you had your 360/PS3 still or you still might maybe that you would be fine with the way they've handled the old gen version? You would not feel cheated and taken advantage of? Put yourself in their shoes first and ask yourself of you would not feel slighted and that you spent the same amount of money on the game like every other console or pc user did and you would expect them to continue to do things that they've done in previous years regardless of new consoles or not.

# 77 Jfrazier33 @ 11/02/14 07:30 PM

Can someone explain how i can download these updated rosters? I only know how to download the official from the "2k share" area.
