Not really sure what they added to the roster update side of things, there's still plenty of missing players, FA's still remain unsigned to the new teams and players wearing wrong jersey number remain unchanged.

Yeah, I'm not sure either. I'm guessing there were some corrections or perhaps ratings changes, but at a glance there's still a lot to update and tidy up.

Iam willing to give them a pass until opening week of the season but after that I don't want to have to wait weeks for the basic of changes to be made.

Agreed, Official roster updates are generally scarce and basic at first, especially with the early release dates. They've got to be on time and on point come the start of the season.

There's been no word either way, but at this point, I'm not expecting it. It'd be awesome, but I'm guessing it'll have to wait until NBA Live 19.

Wow, looks like the most promising patch ever made.

I'll try it when I get home tonight, hoping it improves some of the issues I have with the gameplay.

I gave up on that, I only play the game for Ultimate Team. No roster editing, no multi user, etc... Franchise mode in Live is dead to me until we atleast have those two basic features.

That's good to see, I played a little last night and the gameplay felt solid, less turnovers and a few more made shots while guarded.

Hopefully this week's roster update addresses some issues, missing players, jersey numbers etc..

Played a little with R4zor and it does feel a little different. Seems like they upped game speed again after lowering it for the last one. Player movement seems slightly more "free" as well. Some initial impressions.

I love it how it says "6,832 records updated" or something like that to give you the feeling that the rosters are up to date but nope still incorrect numbers everywhere. I'm hoping they're just waiting for the season to start before fixing those

Imo they should of got that stuff sorted after media day, every player on an nba roster right now has his picture taken in his correct jersey number so there should be no excuses come the next update.
