NBA Live 15 Has Not Updated Their Rosters, Mysterious Synergy Updates

[RaychelSnr]

While NBA Live 15 has shown some positive progress this year, one area the game hasn't seemed to progress is in its roster updates. As of this writing on Wednesday morning, a roster update has not arrived for NBA Live 15 to update what is already a dynamically changing NBA Season with several big name players out of action.

Last year, NBA Live 14 barely updated its rosters, with huge chunks of time passing between updates. This was in the face of several promises that rosters would be adequately maintained throughout the season. This year seems to already be following that same path at the moment, but it's possible the trend could be reversed as the NBA season continues to heat up.

On top of that, there are mysterious updates to player tendencies via Synergy Sports. Some players who haven't played a minute of a game this year, such as Steve Nash, are receiving tendency updates which are supposed to come from real NBA game data. It is possible Nash's data simply got an update thanks to a recalculation of some past tendencies, but the lack of transparency on how and why players are updated via Synergy Sports definitely adds to the confusion with the feature.

Since we can't update the rosters on our own, this is a big deal. If and when we receive any news on anything NBA Live 15 rosters related, we'll be sure to pass it on.

Update (4 p.m.): It appears a roster update for NBA Live 15 finally dropped this afternoon. We'll have details in a separate post when we get them.

Waiting on this.....

With NBA 2K15 updating rosters everyday down to the smallest details, I'm sure the folks at EA are taking notice. There's no way EA would go months without updating rosters like last year if they care anything about their NBA franchise or the people who support NBA Live. It's already bad enough that you can't edit the rosters yourself.

This is getting ridiculous

YEP, had Live 15 for the PS4, was able to return in yesterday, thankfully - too similar of a scenario to last year - not one update or comment from the developers to the best of my knowledge since opening day. Back to the 2K stable for me for at least another year, Live offers a lot of fun, though it's bare boned, feature wise.

I really wanted this game, but at this point I'm very, very happy that I bought 2k. To advertise something like this and not deliver is a big no no, especially when you're already the underdog.

Don't take shots unless you're confident you can back up that talk.
