08:01 AM - December 12, 2014 by KG#5beantown

Another NBA Live 15 title update has arrived this morning. It includes Christmas uniforms and weighs in at 948 MB. The patch is currently available on the PlayStation 4.

We will update this post once it is available on Xbox One and/or we get any additional information on the update.

Let us know what you are seeing.

UPDATE: NBA Live 15 title update #2 will be available for Xbox One users tomorrow. Below are the details, taken from the official blog, which contains more than 400 improvements.

UPDATE #2: The blog has been updated. The patch will not arrive on Saturday, it has been changed to "Coming Soon".

Synergy will affect rosters both offline and online. If a player doesn't dress, he will not be available in online or offline Play Now. This will not affect Dynasty, Rising Star or Ultimate Team.

NEW PLAYER HEAD SCANS

Added 15 scanned player heads including:

Noah Vonleh
Shabazz Napier
Gary Harris
Elfrid Payton
Zach LaVine
Dario Saric
James Young
Nik Stauskas
T.J. Warren
Doug McDermott

CHRISTMAS DAY UNIFORMS
Added uniforms that teams will wear on Christmas Day

LIVE ULTIMATE TEAM
More than 50 bug fixes, as well as an improved interface for LUT Fantasy Challenges. Also added Quicksell Value view to Items, as well as Pack Bundles.

THREE-POINT SHOOTING
Adjustments to three-point shooting percentage and effectiveness, for both CPU and User controlled teams.

CONTESTED LAYUPS
Tuned collisions and contests when driving the lane and going up for a layup for more varied results. Expect more misses if there is heavy contact in the paint.

SIGNATURE JUMPERS AND FREE THROW ROUTINES
Added more authentic shooting animations for players around the league.

SHOT TIMING
We�ve made timing for releasing your shot more forgiving for both online and offline play. Now, the timing feels more natural and predictable.

BALL TRAJECTORY AND PHYSICS
Tuned the shot arc and rim physics for more organic shot types and results. Gone are the days where every made three-pointer is a swish.

DEFENSIVE BITE AND PUMP FAKE ANIMATIONS
Players will recover much quicker and have better overall positioning while defending dribble moves and fakes.

INBOUND PLAYS
Tuned the AI during inbound plays to be more responsive and initiate more movement.

SHOT FEEDBACK METER
Enhanced the feedback system to include your player�s rating for that particular shot type and whether you were open or not.

INVISIBLE BOUNDARIES
Cleaned up some of the invisible boundary issues when moving along the baseline with the ball.

STEAL ATTEMPTS
Tuned stealing to address spamming issues with results in more fouls being called.

END OF GAME AI
Address late game AI issues where players would not react or respond naturally � often causing them to dribble the ball out or not attempt a shot with the clock winding down.

INTENTIONAL FOUL
Adjusted the intentional foul animation to address player warping issues.

Really liking those patch notes!

# 62 BattleBornLV @ 12/12/14 03:32 PM

End of game AI! Great to see that on the notes.

So I'm curious, are these changes adapted to my current Dynasty in real time or would I have to start a new dynasty to get the new results. My current dynasty is great but I feel like I'm dominating the AI. Then again I'm the Mavericks and I built a super squad.

But my main question is are the new gameplay adjustments going to work with a dynasty created before the update?

They absolutely should as I would think it's impossible for it not to.

Can't wait to get home and see what's up lol

Hopefully the game is harder now that shooting has been tuned

Was hoping for more player movement and alley animations.

All I am asking for is to get the right shoes on players and add more jerseys I don't understand how they added Christmas jerseys but still don't have the Cavs new blue jerseys. I am big live fan and I at one point put 2k15 down but found myself picking it back up over live and enjoying it more, also finding that it moves for real and plays more l like a NBA game then live does. I feel like live should give fan complete control of the game with sliders and being able to edit players equipment and ratings.

	We also received some questions from fans about how the update is affecting rosters. Synergy tendencies have always been a part of making NBA LIVE play like the real deal, and today we�ve added some new features to make the integration even better. Synergy feeds us roster data every day so lineups reflect the real world: - We reflect the last game played. That�s sometimes that can be two or three nights ago. - All players are always available in Dynasty, Rising Star and Ultimate Team - If a particular player didn�t dress, he will not show up in the lineup when entering Play Now (Both Offline and Online) - If a player DNP but was on the bench, he�ll be available (unless there were 12 active players who played in the game, then DNP won�t be in the lineup). This allows us to be in lockstep with the NBA, and always reflects the actual starting lineups on a day-to-day basis.

As a quick gamer and a fan of a team that randomly sits players, not a fan of this decision...at all...

Nor am i, and they're aware of that. I an a fan of the updated gameplay.

Sounds like a good patch.. I'll see when I get home. Still want the blue cavs jersey, Lebron 12, kyrie 1. Fix Anthony Davis, Rudy Gay, Gordon Hayward. After that just continue to tune gameplay/ presentation( like the new shot feedback).

As wtf said, guys have to play the magic at home to get scanned. Guess theseaarethe scans from summer lleague.

And this is why not having manual control over rosters is such a failure...

Patch installed.

Play a quick game Cavs vs Heat, Christmas uniforms.

Because of the recent game Lebron sat out, he is not on the Cavs roster. Not even the inactive. Nowhere to be seen in the game if you want to play a quick game.

Then I do the same as the Spurs. Not only is half their roster gone (due to their guys sitting out last game) but the AMAZING Live updates have magically added Jason Richardson to the Spurs.

For all the good work EA have done, they continue to make bonehead mistakes.

Did you restart (Close the Application) after the update? I had the same issue with J-Rich until I restarted the game. He's no longer on the Spurs after the Update/Close Application/Sync to Synergy.

Crazy to go that route, but it is what it is.

Patch notes look sweet. Can't wait to try it out tomorrow when it drops on the X1

# 74 nick_sr @ 12/12/14 06:07 PM

Looks pretty extensive. gonna give it a boot

This makes me very happy

"All players are always available in Dynasty, Rising Star and Ultimate Team "

I can finally start up a franchise

# 77 nick_sr @ 12/12/14 06:21 PM

Every shot that goes in is still a "swish" so far

Love the new rating thing while shooting.

Just my feedback after 1 q

Where you could play the actual games on the docket for that night. Was wondering why it wasn't working lol

# 79 bigeastbumrush @ 12/12/14 06:30 PM

The shot release timing has made a world of difference for me.

And there's a ton more missed shots at point blank range.

Game feels a lot more "open" or"free" so-to-speak.

Very nice.

# 80 nick_sr @ 12/12/14 06:53 PM

I'm literally in tears because shots I was making before the patch are now misses. Thank you ea!!!!!!!!!!
