Fluent sounds suspiciously supportive of 2K. He's right about one thing though, you do see what you want to see. I see so many little things that 2K could fix on the rosters to increase the realism of the game, such as adding an arm sleeve here or the right socks there. These small details might not mean much to some, but to other people who paid $60 for a product that advertised its realism and roster updates, it does mean something.

There's really no excuse for such inconsistent and mediocre updates from 2K. Seriously, how hard is it to add an arm sleeve to Blake, or change LA's socks, or increase Pekovic's ratings? It's simple fixes like this continue to be ignored and that continue to piss customers off.

Give 2k a break, the lock out really put things out of wack for them. I'm big on custom rosters anyway.

How is Demarcus Cousins still a 71? He should be the best player on the Kings and be rated at least a 78. Hes been pretty much putting up 20 and 12 type games ever since the coaching change and his rating hasn't gone up at all. Proof that 2k only pays attention to big market teams/best teams. Guess what your supposed to be covering the entire NBA, not just what you see on the front page of ESPN.

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.

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?

Sure there are little art modifications here and there that need to be done, but the big picture of the post-release support is pretty good. It's as good as I ever remember it being in the 2K series, and I've been playing since 2K3. On topic - JR Smith in the game, and he brings some JR Smith cheese along with his arrival. This guy can light it up in this game. He has the perfect blend of Swiss and Cheddar, the Swiss being he can get to the rim and finish with a nasty dunk, the Cheddar being he can spot up and hit the 3. It's a perfect blend of 2 fine cheeses.

I have to agree with you fluent. I was kinda unsatisfied at first but by now they have all the players I was hoping for.
I'm quite satisfied.

Yeah, go to 2K Share and try out my roster.

http://www.operationsports.com/forum...sters-130.html

Has all the rookie cyberfaces we were given

EDIT: By no means did I mean to promote my roster using this thread, just about every custom roster released for PS3 after christmas will have cyberfaced rookies

Yeah I tried your roster man, when I downloaded it, all rookies had generic faces. maybe I downloaded an older version.

# 33 ActLikeYouCrow @ 02/20/12 05:16 PM

so pekovic still hasnt been updated? i guess its supply and demand. more people will use the knicks so who cares about being fair.

Like my last post said...

Any update in 2012 has cyberfaces. The ones in early november and december were before the cyberfaces were given and obviously do not have cyberfaces.

Every new one has cyberfaces. That means you hadn't even tried since the NBA season started. We arent making it up lol

PPG RPG BPG FG% FT%
Pekovic 16.6 9.93 1.06 61.8 76.3
Marc Gasol 15.6 9.8 2.73 46.9 80.5

It seems 2K is mainly updating the popular guys. That is from the last 15 games. I am not saying Pekovic is as good all around as Gasol but that just shows you he probably needs an update based off his recent play

# 36 DutchMastah7 @ 02/20/12 08:23 PM

I bet if Jeremy Lin wasn't in the game before he went on this run, 2K would find a way to get him in the game, cyberface/portrait and all.

# 37 NYfanatic @ 02/20/12 08:44 PM

2ks roster is just so bad.
Melo get moved down to an 88 for no reason.
Amare a 88 to 83?
Is donny moore doing these rosters or something?

# 38 chrisorosa @ 02/20/12 08:51 PM
