NBA 2K12 Roster Update Adds J.R. Smith, Rated 76 Overall - Video of Changes Included

I'm disappointed with the roster as well.

The only reason why I'm waiting for the official roster update from 2k is because I want all rookies to look like their real life counterparts. You can't get that from custom rosters - in consoles at least. If I can custom rosters with real cyberfaces on all rookies, then I won't be needing their crappy rosters.

Where have you been at for the last 4 months? lol. Pretty much all custom rosters have rookies with their real cyberfaces and probably look more like their real life counterpart because 2k doesn't pay much attention to accessories.

Well yeah, but...

Does that explain how they found the time to change Jeremy Lin's equipment (which is wrong, BTW) and update him, yet they can't fulfill what they advertised for the majority of players who need it?

For example, Josh Smith is STILL wearing those adidas sleeves which, to my knowledge, he's never actually worn. He's always recently worn a padded sleeve or sleeve in general on his left arm (I think ). The only player who's gotten attention is Kendrick Perkins, and they just made him smaller. Probably takes 30 seconds.

I won't give a company a break when they tell us dynamic updates are coming, then 2 months later they're MIA because they're working on 2K13, or it would take too long to scan a player's face, etc.

I remember Ronnie was pushing the whole, "Be patient, you want us to do the player models right, right?" when guys were asking him about Larry Hughes, Gerald Green, etc. It's been like 2 months and Larry Hughes STILL isn't on the game. They have CAPS for Ivan Johnson and Gustavo Ayon, which I could understand for Ayon, but Ivan Johnson has been on the Hawks for a while to my understanding. Plus, how could they add Ayon when guys like Chris Johnson and Jeff Pendergraph aren't in, and they PLAYED last year? That, to me, shows that they favor DEMAND on their list of priorities.

The 2K Insider's job (if it's even a real person) is supposed to be working on rosters, or WHATEVER the heck he does. I'm not sure any of us here even know anymore. Point is, whoever does the rosters should be doing that; they have no need to be working on 2K13 unless that guy also does animations or helps in some other area. They could hire some dude (heck, one of us!) to manage rosters AT LEAST, not even mentioning the "dynamic updates."

Spoiler

As I've said before, I'm starting to look forward to EA's product, and I will surely give it a chance. And this isn't only stemming from the broken, overzealous ambitions that were the roster updates. The nagging issues and irritants in this game are starting to turn me off from it.

Guess what your supposed to be covering the entire NBA, not just what you see on the front page of ESPN.

Well honestly, overall rating has nothing to do with how a player plays. DeMarcus Cousins can still put up numbers at a 71. OVR won't change that, depending on his indiv. ratings.

You could give a Center all 99 MID and 3PT range, and drop everything else, and he's have a horrible OVR. He'd still drop 20+ on you if he sets and shoots.

This is what I'm sure most 2k heads will be doing. Giving EA a chance. I know I am

what??? lol, you mean to tell me that the lockout affected 2k art team and there ability to already update players tats, correct hair etc (what else did they have to do), the lockout affected 2k online tech team in there ability to fix there horrible servers, so your saying the NBA lockout it responsive for that, so was 2k also locked out of there company until the lockout ended (seems that way, if were judging for there progress with this years game?) nope pure laziness and in reguards to 2k, the blame falls on no elses shoulders etc 2k in those areas, especially when dealing with simple roster edits and update, shame

They added JR Smith, yet they STILL don't have Jerome Jordan who has been on the team all season...

Are you talking about custom rosters for PS3?
