I see why there's so many threads about how the game sucks or why can't I beat the CPU on pro difficulty..probably got half of ya starters on the bench for 12th men..

Some are complaining about these scrubs missing from the game like its Kobe or CP3..really?

The amout of times ive seen Larry Hughes name he has to be related to some of you guys..lol
Well in Stiemsma's case he has started games for the Celtics and has gotten 15 minutes a game so I would use him realistically to that.

I know it hasn't been you so this in a way isn't directly only to you but you guys need to get the facts together and get some perspective on this guy. There is far too much yelling for this dude to be in and people not having the proper facts.

First he didn't sign for the rest of last season with the Blazers until the middle of March. So we are talking about a guy who signed with about one month left in the season. Add to that the fact that the Blazers already had 15 guys on the roster in the game. So somebody please to me why 2K should have kicked somebody off the roster who has been there all year for a guy who just signed with one month left in the season?? There really is no argument here for him to have been added last year it just wasn't possible.

Now this yes you blazers guys can have a problem with him not being on the roster but i wish people would stop yelling things like "oh Chris Johnson has been missing for two years now how lazy". Some perspective is needed here.

Guess i'll wait until one more update before i start my season.
 
# 85 PrettyT11 @ 01/07/12 12:49 PM
Also for the guy or guys complaining about the Lakers rookies being on the reserves you do realize one of them is in the D-League and hasn't stepped on the court at all since the season started?? The other has played a grand total of 30 minutes this season. Only Luke Walton has played less so I guess you could ask for him and luke to be swapped but there is a legit reason why they are on the reserve.

That's who all the fuss is about? I thought he was at least a regular rotation player....Does he even get in the game?

I mean I understand wanting full rosters, but.....lol
But he was on the team LAST season. Don't defend them by downplaying the importance of the player.

Pargo not being there? No excuse.

Him not being at least in the Free Agent pool isn't acceptable.

He would be the only relevant player to even mention about being missing..

The other players offense & defense awareness would be so low that even intangibles wouldn't help them be a factor on the court.

All the other miscellaneous stuff I been reading are just hidden agendas to bash the game..

Its just VERY hard to believe not having a certain tattoo , or hair style, or by not adding NEON BODOW OR RICKY ROW to free agents will keep someone from buying a game next year, or post the SAME things over and over.

I don't even see the need to dramatically change ANY attributes..

The season is fresh and there's really no player balling out of control at the moment. Maybe a good couple of games here and there but ratings can be tolerated as is..

I went through the list posted earlier with the missing players. There aren't many that are getting significant minutes and a few haven't even played this season. There are some that should definitely have been added already and I could understand the disappointment
in them not being included by 2k as of yet. Stiesma, Davis, Pargo, Harris, and Thomas should have been in long ago. I was upset with 2k this morning, but then I went through this list and really there is not reason for all the complaining when you look at the individual players missing. Jeremy Pargo is the largest omission.

Charlotte Bobcats:
Cory Higgins - SG Played in 2 games (5.5 mpg)

Cleveland Cavaliers:
Mychel Thompson - SG/SF Played in 1 game (2.0 mpg)

Boston Celtics:
E’Twaun Moore - SG/PG Played in 5 games (3.8 mpg)
Greg Stiemsma - C Played in 6 games (14.8 mpg)

Memphis Grizzlies:
Josh Davis - PF/SF Played in 5 games (10.2 mpg)
Jeremy Pargo - PG Played in 7 games (20.7 mpg)

Atlanta Hawks:
Ivan Johnson - PF 4 games (10.5 mpg)
Donald Sloan - SG Has not played this season

Miami Heat:
Terrel Harris - SG 4 games (15.5 mpg)
Mickell Gladness - PF/C 2 games (5.5 mpg)

New Orleans Hornets:
Carldell Johnson - PG 4 games (2.0 mpg)
Gustavo Ayon - C 1 games (2.0 mpg)
Trey Johnson - SG - add from Free Agent List

Utah Jazz:
Jamaal Tinsley - PG 5 games (5.5 mpg)

Sacramento Kings:
Isaiah Thomas - PG 8 games (10.4 mpg)

New York Knicks:
Jerome Jordan - C 4 games (5.3 mpg)

Orlando Magic:
Larry Hughes - PG 3 games (8.7 mpg)
DeAndre Liggins - SF Has not played this season

Dallas Mavericks:
Sean Williams - C 3 games (5.7 mpg)

New Jersey Nets:
Dennis Horner - PF 4 games (3.5 mpg)

Denver Nuggets:
Julyan Stone - PG/SG Has not played this season

Indiana Pacers:
Jeff Pendergraph - PF Has not played this season

Detroit Pistons:
Vernon Macklin - C/PF 3 games (2.3 mpg)

Portland Trailblazers:
Chris Johnson - PF/C 3 games (6.3 mpg)

Golden State:
Charles Jenkins - PG 5 games (6.4 mpg)

....and like clockwork the roster thread goes as expected. Butthurt. Butthurt everywhere.

 
# 90 alexthegreat @ 01/07/12 01:32 PM
Decent update. All i really wanted was Bynum back in the lineup. Nice to see they did update some rotations.

I'm not defending anything....but Chris Johnson isn't worth all the butthurt.....post it in the thread, and move on...
 
# 92 Sports fanantic @ 01/07/12 02:01 PM
i'm a little disappointed that Charles Jenkins wasn't on today's update for the warriors considering he started in yesterday game against LAL and he has received good amount of minutes. Maybe next update!
 
# 93 MC2 @ 01/07/12 02:34 PM
I don't have this roster update, and I'm signed in online, PS3. Please help.
 
# 94 LionsFanNJ @ 01/07/12 02:46 PM
^ no you're not. The server is down AGAIN on PS3. Tried getting the update myself a few minutes ago.

EA sports is way advanced in online play(besides online franchise) then 2k sports will ever be. It took 2 weeks to do these rosters and we can't even use them for our Online Association. 2k sports has failed miserably with these updates. The OA website is still not working. You could'nt even play online with out it freezing the first month it came out. I'm not defending EA sports, because they have problems too, but 2k sports is light years away from EA sports as far as online.
You need some perspective. How is EA sports "way more advanced"? I'll take Madden. One, you have to have XBL Gold just to be able to download updated rosters in the first place. If you have a PS3 not an issue I assume, but you probably need an online pass or something if you buy the game used. Nor do they offer options for downloading user-created custom rosters, sliders, etc. Madden's team-up mode consists of allowing people to play on the same team against the cpu. You've already mentioned Madden lacking online franchise. I don't think you can take your created player online to compete against other gamers' created players.

If 2K took the route with any of those things I'm sure it'd be a lot easier to implement from a programmatical standpoint. But they didn't. I can only imagine how people would flip if they could only take their 2K My Players online to play against the cpu. Or if they didn't give people the option for downloading custom rosters w/o XBL Gold or having to purchase some online pass. Here people flip out over a totally optional $10 mode 2K offers. Or that they don't have a real face for Joey Benchwarmer.

Personally my pet peeve is teams having their correct sock/shoe color combinations. So much so I'm willing to wait until it's rectified before I'll start an Association - so I'm disappointed that hasn't occurred yet. But I understand where my pet peeve stands in the overall scheme of things, and in relation to the quality of the game overall.

What do you mean no you're not? I'm pretty sure I'm signed in.

It was a pretty good update IMO. Definately could have been better but I'm not pissed about it. They still are missing a few people but they did give us some more rooks and I'm grateful for that. I will say this tho, missing players that are seeing a lot of minutes like Jenkins did the other night are only seeing a ton of minutes due to player injuries (When Curry comes back i doubt he will see minutes like that, plus Nate didn't look terrible). Most of them are playing garbage time with the exception of maybe Jeremy Pargo and Greg Stiemsma. And in all honesty the only reason Stiemsma is getting minutes is because there are no other big men on the bench for the Celtics besides Brandon Bass. I do understand why people want the real cyberfaces for their teams missing players but in all honesty if that is the only reason why you are not playing the game, you might want to buck up and just create them or download them from 2k share. I'm a Blazer fan and i wish they had Chris Johnson but I just downloaded a CAP from 2kshare, tweeked it to how I liked it and kept it pushin'.
 
# 98 Preo32 @ 01/07/12 03:29 PM
Im not too surprised with this update. I was definetly hoping for a more complete roster still, but it is what it is. Jeremy Pargo, Greg Stiemsma and Charles Jenkins missing are the 3 that surprise me the most.

Anyway, Im hoping Ill just DL some CAPs for missing players or find a roster that has included the missing players to the new 2k rosters. I want to start association with Toronto, and everybody is there, but boy are they rated bad. I hoped for some sort of rating jump for at least Bargnani. It's ridiculous how he is rated lower than a lot of rookies when he is in the top 10 in scoring this year and had 20 ppg last year. Its a joke really
 
# 99 LetThatBoyCook @ 01/07/12 03:32 PM
I'm very easy to please, love this game. But don't be grateful for a roster update like this. We all paid for this game. If they're going to put the name NBA in the title, at least have accurate up-to-date rosters of the NBA.
 
# 100 suh90beast @ 01/07/12 03:37 PM
Do you guys realize that you are the only ones complaining and or noticing every aspect of this update. There's about a million other people who have no idea what this update is. How many gamers care about socks and tattoos. LMAO
