I have to assume there must be some sort of details that must be finalized regarding some of the foreign players and their new contracts vs. their old Euro contracts.

@2K: Please change Oklahoma City's shoe and sock color on road games from white to black!

While we're on it, the Sacramento Kings wear white shoes and socks at home instead of black ones. This has been wrong for the third straight year now although it got fixed every time via patches/roster updates! Why can't you just integrate all these corrected accessories into next game on disc? Seriously, it can't be that hard...

Apart from that, this is the best NBA 2K game yet! By far!

Why isn't Teletovic in the game yet! He signed before any FA or rookie period. Smh.

I wonder if they even made them....sadly I want to start my assoc. but I am really into the realism part of the game and its far from that right now. This was posted by PJT in the Rosters Thread. I think 2K needs to give a look at these and make them happen. Even if they just dropped the non-guaranteed contracts in the FA would be great. Fully Guaranteed Players missing from NBA 2K13. Knicks: James White – 1 year Guaranteed contract Pablo Prigioni – 1 year guaranteed contract Magic: Kyle O’Quinn – 1 year guaranteed with team option for 2nd year unguaranteed Nets: Mirza Teletovic – 3 year guaranteed contract Tornike Shengelia - 1 year guaranteed contract with 2nd year team option unguaranteed. Pistons: Kyle Singler – 3 year guaranteed contract Slava Krostov – One year guaranteed with unguaranteed team option for 2nd year Raptors: Alan Anderson – One Year Contract Guaranteed Rockets: Shaun Livingston missing from game Scott Machado - 2 year partially guaranteed contract Spurs: Nando De Colo - 2 year guaranteed contract T-Wolves: Alexey Shved – 2 year Guaranteed contract Trailblazers: Joel Freeland – 3 year guaranteed contract Victor Claver – 3 year guaranteed contract Unguaranteed Players Missing from NBA 2K13: 76ers: Maalik Wayns – Unguaranteed Cavs: Donald Sloan - Unguaranteed Kevin Jones - Unguaranteed Michael Eric - Unguaranteed Celtics: Kris Joseph - Unguaranteed Dionte Christmas - Unguaranteed Jamar Smith - Unguaranteed Hornets: Brian Roberts - Unguaranteed Lance Thomas - Unguaranteed Jazz: Kevin Murphy – 2 year unguaranteed contract Chris Quinn - Unguaranteed Knicks: Rasheed Wallace - Unguaranteed Chris Smith - Unguaranteed John Shurma - Unguaranteed Chris Copeland - Unguaranteed Lakers: Darius Johnson Odom - Unguaranteed Robert Sacre - Unguaranteed Chris Douglas Roberts - Unguaranteed Nuggets: Julyan Stone – Unguaranteed contract Suns: PJ Tucker – unguaranteed contract Warriors: Kent Bazemore – Unguaranteed Players to Remove from Free Agent List as they signed overseas for 2012-2013 Season PG: Earl Boykins - Retired Carlos Arroyo - Signed overseas Zabian Dowdell - Signed Overseas Willie Warren - Signed Overseas Lester Hudson - Signed Overseas SG: Rudy Fernandez - Signed Overseas Maurice Ager - Retired SF: Tracy Mcgrady - Signed in China Andres Nocioni - Signed Overseas Al Thornton - Signed Overseas Ime Udoka - Retired - Asst Coach with Spurs Julian Wright - Signed Overseas Jawad Williams - Signed Overseas Patrick Ewing Jr. - Signed Overseas PF: Craig Brackins - Signed Overseas Pops Mensah-Bonsu - Signed Overseas Vernon Macklin - Signed Overseas C: Greg Oden - Out for 2012-2013 with Knee Injury Recovery Etan Thomas - Retired - NBA Blogger/Analyst Erick Dampier - Retired David Andersen - Signed Overseas Jarron Collins - Retired Alexis Ajinca - Signed Overseas

While I agree that they still need to add a whole bunch of players to this game, I actually like that they keep guys in the free agent pool even if they signed over seas. A lot of the international seasons end before the end of the NBA season, and those players (IRL) will have an opportunity to sign with NBA teams in the spring. Plus, it adds more depth/fantasy to our associations.

I love the game, but it's definitely a head scratcher that the default rosters were so out of date. As was mentioned above, you can always get a complete transaction list on NBA.com, and it's not like most of these signings didn't happen months ago. It was also funny to me how the public 2k response was something to the effect of "we're too busy fixing the online to update the rosters right now". C'mon guys, it would take me less than 3 hours to get online, check the transactions/rosters, and make it happen. You had 3 months.

Still, best NBA game to date and a double thumbs up from this guy.

Donte Green is not on the Nets, never was.

I definitely understand where you are coming from and I am right there with you. But maybe this would be a better idea:

Keep all the FA there but just like and injury add the timetable thing to them but instead of an injury add "Overseas" and put a time of return, maybe March, since all the euro leagues end around that time. If they did that they would make up for a lot of the players that they are missing.

For the most part, I'm liking this update. Obviously, there are still more players to add, but it's a good start. Nice to see that they adjusted a lot of players down (Dwight/Melo!- and don't worry Knicks fans, he'll still be dominant offensively. The fact is he's not all-time elite player that will win you a championship on his own the way a 92 rating would suggest). The ratings did seem a little inflated for some players.

However, as others have said, the low-rated role players continue to get the shaft and probably won't get adjusted until a couple months into the season. And there's still the weird low MED RANGE shooting rankings for great shooters with high 3PT ratings (Harden has MED: 67; 3PT: 86).

And, I'm pretty sure Korver went down. Can anyone confirm? His 3PT is now 89; not sure what it was. Maybe 2K was listening to all the Korver cheese complaints on MyTeam.
