Trade Deadline Roster Update Goes Live In NBA 2K15
Following a chaotic NBA trade deadline period that saw 11 trades involving 37 players, Visual Concepts has released its roster update to account for the changes.
Included in this update is Kevin Garnett's return to the Minnesota Timberwolves, Brandon Knight's trade to the Phoenix Suns, and Goran Dragic's move to the Miami Heat. This roster update also changes Portland Trailblazer Steve Blake's jersey to #5, which he has done in order to honor of former NBA player Jerome Kersey, who recently passed away.
Though the trade deadline has passed in dramatic fashion, the player movement in the NBA could continue, as the buyout period still allows for players to change teams.

Our Take
Visual Concepts has done a fantastic job of keeping its rosters up-to-date, particularly when contrasted with how poorly EA Sports' team behind the NHL franchise has supported its latest release. The fact that the team was able to push this update less than 24 hours following the deadline makes it even more impressive.
