	SimBaller: Just to reiterate what Will said above, just because you can post a link saying that Player A signed or Players B and C were traded for each other, that doesn't mean we have league approval (yet) to process the move. All contracts and trades need to get ratified by the league before the transaction can take place in our game. It's very, very rare that the league intervenes on a signing/trade, but we saw that last week with the CP3 trade. It can happen. We chose to do frequent small updates to give you the goods as they come in rather than waiting until the season starts. This means another roster update is always right around the corner with the latest transactions.

Why are you all pist, I started my association with classic teams and real teams before the legend showcase dlc came out and before you can move the legends to current teams, so I have a bunch of teams playing in short shorts and old arenas, which is alright. But when i look at there past all-star appearances it has them in the all-star game in 1899 and 1898 ect.... I am not pist thought I live with it,that's what you should do, move the players yourself, don't be so damn lazy. Grow up, you spoiled brats

This thread is literally unfathomable to me.. What part of "They legally *CANT* put rookies in that the NBA has not explicitly cleared" do you not understand????

# 223 TUSS11 @ 12/13/11 12:26 AM

^^So why did they hype it up so much on the social media sites if it was going to be such a minimal update? They only brought it on themselves.

Who said anything about a minimal update? This is a big update!

Why did they hype it up? Because they obviously want everyone who plays the game to know it's coming out?

Okay, so you guys tell me what you think 2k should do.

1) Do what they did and have you cry about it.

2) Have them work on it without telling you guys so you can cry about it until it comes out.

Kyrie Iriving can Dunk.. Minor but 2k should fix this.

You could fix it as well, that's why they gave you the "edit" button

Hi all,

Have they recorded specific commentary about Kyrie,if so are their many segments where Clark and Steve talk about his entry into the league. Any commentary for Faried too?

# 228 dondee08 @ 12/13/11 03:02 AM

Very disappointing man especially since I PAID for this. You could have at least... AT LEAST!!! created all the rookies and put those who aren't signed yet to free agency. That's your job, you do that everyday and you can't even get creative with it.

Haven't tested Faried as much, but there was specific commentary for Hamilton in the my player rookie showcase.

Irving has a great deal of specific commentary as does Tristan Thompson. I was impressed. Both players had bits where they talked about them in high school. For Irving they dropped stats on him while at Duke.

I think they did a phenomenal job with the rookies, just wish we could have more. The NBA needs to hurry up and approve these contracts lol

The roster update was free and if it's been said 50 times in this thread the patch could have been more it's been said 51 times that 2K is LEGALLY BOUND by the rosters supplied to them by the NBA. They've said from the very beginning they'll be releasing roster updates as they get them into their offices, so there's no reason to get so worked up. You've been playing 2K12 (or doing whatever else) since October, surely the ADDITION of content, no matter how small, couldn't be a bad thing...?

I just got home and nothing is loading for me, I have the same roster. And Was I suppose to see a patch when I loaded the game up?

When I loaded the game, it did not say about downloading a roster or anything, it actually said loading roster.

I just went to the Cavs and boom Irving was right there.

Im on XBOX 360 BTW.

New update is up! They have Nolan Smith, DW on the wolves and West is on the Pacers. Sweet!!!

# 236 Gramps91 @ 12/13/11 06:47 AM

I still haven't tried these out I'll probably wait until they are all patched in before I start playing excessively again. But truly I do understand.

Rookies have to actually sign an NBA contract to be added to the game. If they're not signed, they cannot be licensed by the NBA.
