NBA 2K12 Roster Update Available Now (12-25-11) - Video of Changes Included

Im definitely not expecting much from this roster update, but I know a lot of people may have high expectation on this next roster update... Dont know why though lol. Roster updates seemed to never be 2K's strong point, but it's been decent since those dreadful days of 2K7 when updates would dropped once in a blue moon.

Also there will be no art updates...nick young with his afro...STAT with his new glases...NO WAY. I'm sounding pessimistic I know, and believe I would rather be optimistic and have a quality roster form 2k each week, cause roster editing is a hell of work, but 2k won't do us the favour. They had the feature the last years and what did they do? the ignored player signings till the end of the season...this really is a shame, I'm not talking about the holiday break from 2k but the general problem with this updates...

I speak for myself, and I'm well aware of what you posted and I couldn't have put it better in words. All I have to say is that my "wishful" posts are for people to be aware of what should be done, as opposed to what is in fact delivered.

Man, as long as I have a couple of the important 2nd-rounders and the recent FA transactions they missed, I'd be satisfied enough to start my MP/Association.

What I never understood is, how/why do players even have generic shoes? I mean, you spend time creating all those shoe art (Which is all mapped over one of 3 models/shapes anyway), and yet about 70-85% of the players don't even have these shoes on.

ALSO, how can you not give Derrick Rose the AdiZero Rose 2 and Dwight Howard AdiPower Howard 2, and both were in-game out of the box, but LeBron and Kobe immediately get their new shoes as soon as they release? Did they forget they put them in the game?

Not a big deal since I could give all players their shoe if I wanted, but those guys look at pics of players anyway...it wouldn't hurt to get the shoes right.

But, I hope I wake up to an update tomorrow, and receive details on it today.

For those asking and wondering about the generic shoes there is a reason why so many players have those on default and in this case it is not 2K's fault. 2K puts shoes on players that have actual contracts with the shoe companies and are given the ok from the shoe companies. That is the very reason why guys like LeBron and others are locked into the brand they have a deal with. Nike is not going to allow 2K to make it possible for LeBron, Kobe, Durant, and some others to be on the game with something other than Nikes on. The shoe companies have a lot bigger say in what shoes are in and what is allowed in the game than a lot of guys think.

Back to the generic shoes part. Just cause a guy wears Nikes or other shoes doesn't mean they have a deal with Nike. Most guys in the league don't have any kind of shoe deal in place. Gilbert Arenas is a perfect example. Last year he wore all types of Nikes and Jordans but he didn't have any type of deal with Nike. He was wearing shoes from his own personal collection. So just because we see a guy playing in hyperdunks doesn't mean he is signed to Nike with an apperal deal.
