EA Sports has announced the release of patch 1.06 for its simulation basketball gaming title NBA Live 15.
EA Sports has said it will be removing subjectivity from player ratings and performance in the future. It wants a "true 1:1 representation of each and every player in the league."
The new update weights 3.2GB on Xbox One and 1.1GB on PlayStation 4.
NBA Live 15 was released on 28 October 2014 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The game has Portland Trail Blazers' Damian Lillard on its cover. The game has scanned 70% of NBA players. The game boasts of being realistic and has made many graphical improvements on the jerseys, arenas and more.
Below are the patch notes of the patch 1.06 for NBA Live 15 (EA Sports):
- Adjusted box score errors

Roster Update
The publishers have also announced the changes that were made to the roster and have released a new Roster update that takes into consideration more than 3,600 ratings changes, 13 accessory updates and three new jersey's (Thunder Pride, Celtics St. Patrick's Day, Bulls St. Patrick's Day).
The new roster changes will see Oklahoma City PG Russell Westbrook improving his position as he has become the league's leading scorer, as Kevin Durant battles foot and leg injuries this season. In NBA Live 15, Westbrook's points improve to 92 OVR, good for fourth-best behind LeBron James, Durant, and Chris Paul.
We also see ratings going up for Miami Heat C Hassan Whiteside to 80 OVR.

However, some NBA Live 15 players have complained that EA Sports has not yet fixed some issues like:
- CPU Subbing
- Broken gameplay
Though some fans have said they are done with the game, many still play the game, with one fan asking EA to "step up" as NBA Live 15 looks "old."
