NBA 2K13 Roster Update (12-25-12) Nash, Nowitzki & Stephenson Still Listed as Injured

12:51 PM - December 25, 2012 by Steve_OS

Another NBA 2K13 roster update arrived this morning, but it doesn't look like it updated anything. Steve Nash, Dirk Nowitzki and Lance Stephenson are still listed as injured. No ratings were touched since the last update on the 21st.

Other than Nike’s Christmas Day shoes for LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant, I'm sitting here scratching my head as to what this roster update actually did...

They really need to do roster updates without injuries. I'm trying to play around with the roster (Washington releasing Barron and Livingston (moving him to Cleveland) and I can't do worth **** cause their roster are full of injured players) They need to make the roster available for us offline/roster makers so we don't have to deal with the injuries and the limitation of movement.

Keep in mind.. I would rather use the newer ones 'cause of the availability of uniforms/rookies. With the older ones, no uniforms, rookies would be all created instead of possibility of real faces as there are with the current rosters.

i hate the shoe updates. Now if I start a new association their shoes will be all jacked up

I started a game today and Harden is back on OKC's roster and it appears OKC's rotations have reverted back to what they were when the game launched...?? anybody else getting this?

Use the Dec 5th roster as your base roster. That's the last one without injuries and also happens to have all the season's jerseys. You're gonna have to import Lance Thomas, Luke Zeller etc but that's minimal work compared to other rosters.

Yeah looks like that may be the only choice I have. Thanks man.

What's the purpose of having the right shoes and the wrong roster on a Christmas ROSTER update? Even though Kobe's kicks looked sweet on the dunk when I zoomed in on my replay dunk on Jr. Smith yesterday, would've been better if it was an oop from Nash...

Can they please increase Lance Stephenson's ratings?!

There are D-League players that are much better than him in the game and he is a solid NBA starter right now!

They should change nearly every pacers rating...

Gerald Green, DJ Augustin and Orlando Johnson are way too overrated. Green would be ok with around 70, Augustin with a Mid 60 and Johnson with somethin in the 50's..

Instead they should upgrade Stephenson (high 60) and George Hill (just a few points to a high 70)

It's a shame what they have done to the Rockets and Harden ... bunch of scrubs in this game.

# 31 qnzballa5 @ 12/31/12 12:00 PM

So when is the next roster update??

# 32 LoSoisNiCEx414 @ 12/31/12 12:28 PM

I bet the next roster update only puts Dirk,Nash,Gordon back on teams. No ratings

# 33 Blackhail92 @ 12/31/12 12:51 PM

Yea this update has been overdue for a little bit. Hope melo gets an overall increase(more on his defensive settings to make him atleast a 92 overall again). Overall he is a 90 thats the 8th best player rated. Are there really 7 players playing better than melo right now? Definitely need Nash, Gordon, and dirk back in the game. also amare has been put back to day to day and could play on New Years so he should be added in the game also(because we never know when the next update will be after that) Maybe some more rating adjustments to players like downgrade Westbrook(mid range still a 88, I dont see why). Deron williams should have another downgrade. He is playing pretty bad still. Not saying those are only rating adjustments needed but just what I observed. Mayb even Tyson chandler deserves a boost. Centers may not be big in nba anymore or as dominant. But a top five center shouldn't be a 77

# 34 LoSoisNiCEx414 @ 12/31/12 12:54 PM

Again Larry Sanders is rated a 65!

# 35 Angel_G @ 12/31/12 12:56 PM

Yea Melo definitely needs his old 92 rating back, no doubt.

I said this at like beggining of december and so many people got on me saying he was overated and that he wouldnt keep it up. While he has been injured a lil bit he is still shooting 47 percent from field and 44 from 3. And he has kept up his defensive intensity(still not a lock down defender and never will be) so i also think he deserves his 92 rating back. Maybe not improve his offense but his defense. His hustle is a 46 i believe lol. He has improved his hustle this yea also. He also has a 80 consistency. While kevin martin has a 90 consistency? Westbrook mid range is also higher than melos still. And i dont understand why. but yea

2k's roster updates are a joke, I started with Hyperballers roster (when it was working in 2k share) and I've made my own shots/accessories edits since then. For example I've basically revamped everything on the celtics roster and they, look,play, and feel like the Celtics.
