NBA 2K15 players have something to look forward to as well, as 2K Sports has released an update that upgrades several player ratings in line with their current performance. The surprising Milwaukee Bucks find themselves in the thick of the Eastern Conference playoff race, and key contributors on the team have received commensurate upgrades in the simulation game.

The Bucks' brightest young star Giannis Antetokounmpo received several upgrades, while his teammates Jared Dudley and Khris Middleton received slight boosts following strong performances in the weeks leading up to the All-Star weekend break. Look for the Bucks to make some noise both in the NBA and in NBA 2K15 games everywhere.

Following a moribund stretch of games, the Cleveland Cavaliers rediscovered their winning ways. New additions Timofey Mozgov, J.R. Smith, and Iman Shumpert have provided a boost to the LeBron James-led team. The trio also received a few minor improvements in NBA 2K15 to reflect their new roles on the team.

Mitch McGary of the Oklahoma City Thunder had a big stretch of games following an injury to teammate Steven Adams. He has received a large boost in 2K15 to reflect his improved scoring and rebounding performance.

The full list of roster updates can be viewed at this website.

Meanwhile, players looking to gain a few in-game boosts can take advantage of these new locker codes, as reported in an article by Motoring Crunch.
