Developer Posts Wrong NBA 2K13 Roster Update, New Roster Arrives Tomorrow

[rspencer86]

Ah, the old "accidentally sent the wrong file" bit.

Used to use that in college. Finishing up my essay right at due date, emailed some random word doc to the professor to buy another 30 minutes or so, then finished the real deal and sent it with a "whoops! Wrong file!" message with it.

Yes 2k...take your time and don't RUSH the roster update. Take your time and do it right.

I doubt that really happened. It can't be a old file because James Harden was already on the Rockets in the file i downloaded today. But lets see what they do later on today.

I'd rather take nothing than "pathetic crap" honestly. Like I said, the updating content and online gameplay is part of the main reason and their incentive of why consumers buy this game. If they can't do this, then what good are they? Why can't we get different vendors or suppliers who can? Oh right, because there's no competition. And they take advantage of that fact.

You're basically saying they can just take the money and run. It doesn't work like that. Give us a decent game and we'll give you the sum of money it costs accordingly. They are not entitled to serve crap on a platter, because they do in fact promise us a decent game ever year.

I guess you're going to say they aren't owed or obligated to fix critical issues in the game next in a post patch like the fact THAT WE CAN'T EVEN BLOCK SHOTS PROPERLY this year.

ALL WE WANT IS A SUFFICIENT/DECENT GAME. I WOULD SAY "GOOD GAME" BUT CONSIDERING HOW BAD 2K IS DOING RIGHT NOW THAT WOULD BE TOO MUCH OF A STRETCH.

Humdinger....you have to consider that the game JUST came out...not even a month old yet. Everything 2k does isn't primarily for the fans...it's smart business that will keep them in business. All the updates/changes/patches 2K makes will only help sales increase this year from people that have not yet purchased the game...people who are waiting for the season to start, which I'm sure there are plenty out there who fit into that category. Also, it will help future sales for this franchise if 2k gains a rep of making things right when they screw up. This way hardcore nba gamers like myself will still continue to pre order their product in knowing that 2k will fix bugs, glitches, etc. with patches (as they have in the past) and make things right that are wrong with the game. Also, the fans like me and other passionate nba fans on the OS board are the ones keeping 2k's lights on by taking the time to offer constructive feedback that helps 2k to continue to improve/elevate their product.

I could say so much more but why bother with the obvious.

2K has been making this same mistake since 2K6; lack luster rosters, never change any accessories, not to mention the Harden trade was done.

Hinrich, D-Wright, Perkins, etc... players with the wrong shoes since 2k11.

Your right humans do make mistakes, 2K shouldn't and can't make mistakes.

[JasonMartin]

There are 2 things (well actually more) 2K sucks at:


1. roster updates

2. lying







They did trade harden but not the other players. Sure, we aren't that stupid.

[KidHypeTellem]

I wasn't really surprised by this update, and I will download the new one and hopefully it will have at least some of the missing players.

On a side note, as a Heat fan it's cool to see they gave D-Wade generics though I found a way to work around that when creating his shoes, but they just prove that they only focus on big players/big teams/big trades and transaction when doing these updates and what not.

What I'm referring to is they had no problem removing d-wade from jordan to generics, yet Michael Beasley for example is still locked down to adidas.
