NBA 2K12 Roster Update Available Now (12-19-11) - Video of Changes Included

[iLLosophy]

So Kyrie and Derrick Williams tweeted ronnie2k and complained about their ratings and got them changed. Is this a PR move with the players or did they just pull the original ratings out of thin air? I do know Derrick Williams speed is too low along with Jujuan's.

When are they gonna add the pictures for the rookies instead of having the cyberfaces on the roster menus??

This is becoming a joke , are they going to raise the ratings of every crybaby player that complains? 1st it was Javale Mcgee, after that Kyrie Irving, and now Derrick Williams, and they are going to raise his dunk by 11 points while other players like LaMarcus Aldridge have to beast in the real nba to get an update?

This make me sick , I'm going to tweet Reggie Jackson , Norris Cole and Jajuan Johnson to tell them to ask for a free 2k boost from ronnie

To be fair, Kyrie Irving only said "everybody tellin me that @2KSports gave me no dunking points on 2k12...lol dang guess i gotta show em a little something"

To me that isn't him being a crybaby, but 2K trying to get NBA players to promote their game.

Derrick Williams specifically tweeted Ronnie2K saying "aye @ronnie2k can I get some boost on the game tho ! Lol", and responded again when Ronnie asked what ratings, saying "@ronnie2k Just my bounce in general lol"

Derrick Williams in my opinion complained (although he may have a point), and Kyrie just said he had to prove them wrong in real life.

Maybe I'm wrong, but thats how I looked at the situation

Tweets from Ronnie2k to Derrick WIlliams

@RealDWill7 Yes sir, what do you want to see boosted in your rating?

Quote:

@RealDwill7 We'll look into it and take care of it

.

Quote:

@RealDwill7 OK we evaluated & you need a bump in dunking. We'll move you up 11 spots. Throw it down over the season & you'll keep moving up

Quote:

@RealDwill7 You best be at next year's E3 again!

I cant believe 2k is doing things like this? How do you go evaluate a guy then bump him because he said it should be higher? Then tell him to throw it down over the season so it will keep moving up. Him throwing down monster dunks over the season should be the only reason it goes up. Not because he complains about it. What are they paying whoever does the rosters for if you going to have athletes come in and tell them to bump there ratings? The evaluation should have already been done.

So why dont he listen to us and the non athletes when we tell them Derick Fisher should not make threes like he is Ray Allen, or Kevin Durant should not be dunking like he is Vince Carter in his prime? Well because this definitly was a PR move done to keep Derrick Williams happy as noted by the tweet telling him he better be at E3 again.

I dont fault the players for saying something. Heck if I was in the league and I thought something was wrong in my ratings I would say something also. You know all these guys have egos.

I fault 2k for going and changing it. Let there play determine weather or not to give them a boost. Not because you want to keep them happy so they can continue to promote your game. Yes I know its marketing but still.
