For those who are still with us, there are a few key details worth noting. For one, DeMar DeRozan of the Toronto Raptors is the next player to join the ever-elusive 90 overall club. If the NBA season keeps trending Andre Drummond’s way, however, the Detroit Pistons center may be next in line. It’s also worth noting that free throw shooting was tweaked across all teams. In general these adjustments aren’t huge, but they are a reflection of real-world events.
This roster update arrives just days after the 1.07 title update that offered an assortment of bugfixes and hooks for upcoming promotions. Like most 2K Sports games of the past, this one continues to evolve and improve.
