"NBA 2K16's" latest update for the roster is available now, and there are some important changes applied to the player ratings.

The most obvious change in rating was spotted in Miami Heat's center Hassan Whiteside, who now garners a 100 percent rating for his block, according to a report from Design & Trend. Whiteside's new number made him 2K Sports' greatest shot blocker.

Sacramento Kings' DeMarcus Cousins, Boston Celtics' Isaiah Thomas, and Charlotte Hornets' Kemba Walker are the top three players who have gone up with their ratings. All of them had a +1 rating, making their overall rating at 90, 85, and 83 respectively.

Other National Basketball Association (NBA) stars who have increased their rating are Tyreke Evans from New Orleans Pelicans, Marc Gasol of Memphis Grizzlies, J.J. Redick of Los Angeles Clippers and Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Milwaukee Bucks .

On the other hand, the ratings are not good for Cleveland Cavaliers' Kevin Love, who went down with three points with his rating of 82. Chicago Bulls' power forward Pau Gasol also took a slide with two points and his rating is now at 76.

Other NBA stars with a decreased rating include Detroit Pistons' Andre Drummond, New York Knicks' Carmelo Anthony, Cleveland Cavaliers' Kyrie Irving, and Atlanta Hawks' Al Horford.

Apart from the changes in ratings, "NBA 2K16" also received an update. The game now has face scan, a feature which was once exclusive to the console version of the game. This feature allows players to snap pictures of themselves and be part of the game.

This feature is possible with Intel's RealSense camera and may only be available in select devices, particularly new models.

Fresh locker codes have also been revealed. Players can use the codes to unlock special NBA stars such as Larry Bird and Karl Malone, among others.

The full list of the newly released locker codes can be found here.
