A new roster has come through for NBA Live 15, containing line-ups that have been updated through February 23rd, 2015. It appears as though the errors in the post-trade deadline update that came through over the weekend have been fixed, as Arron Afflalo is no longer on the Denver Nuggets’ roster, but instead on the Portland Trail Blazers’ roster as he should be. The starting line-up for the West All-Stars has also been corrected, as LaMarcus Aldridge is now starting ahead of Dirk Nowitzki.

However, as the February 26th update’s rosters are only accurate as of the 23rd, a couple of more recent transactions aren’t accounted for, including the Cleveland Cavaliers’ signing of Kendrick Perkins, Thomas Robinson being waived by the Nuggets and subsequently picked up by the Philadelphia 76ers, and a few 10 day contract signings.

The latest roster features over 700 ratings changes for 442 players. Check out this spreadsheet for a full breakdown of the changes in the new roster, and feel free to post any feedback here in the NBA Live 15 section of the Forum.
