Unacceptable.

Asleep at the wheel, as usual, it appears.

Lol I love being a Bulls fan no way in hell I thought they would upgrade Butler to a 75 I thought 70 or 72 at the most but 75 nice chant wait to play with him. I wonder did they raise his shooting. Funny part is they prolly didn't upgrade Orl C Vucevic. Or lance Stephenson or Gordon Hayward which just shows me that 2k only pays attention to major teams in the league. I mean look at NYK and the LAC and their super stacked and ovverated teams. I mean there is no way imman schumpert. Has done anything to deserve a 80 something overall. Glad my team is in a major market

2K seriously i'm getting sick of their laziness. Hopefully they fix some of these players. Hello Mickael Gelebele he's been on the T'Wolves for about 2 months now. Come'on man.

You know what's really fun?
When Ronnie 2K tweeted that the roster update was released, Patrick Beverley of the Rockets tweeted him
"I better be there!"
and Ronnie replied
"You are!"

that last tweet has now been deleted, I wonder why....

How sloppy can they get before we stop giving them our money?

# 5 rbfn04 @ 02/12/13 11:17 AM

I remember when we had to do this by hand. No online updates. (no snow was involved in the process)

# 6 knick9 @ 02/12/13 11:29 AM

Maybe if they weren't based in the Bay area they wouldn't be so, um, "relaxed" about everything.

# 7 jmaj315 @ 02/12/13 11:46 AM

LOL @sniapeko

# 8 ksuttonjr76 @ 02/12/13 12:00 PM

Honestly, I kinda surprised that Paul George didn't get another update. Minus the Pacers/Nets game, he's been playing some great all-around basketball on both ends of the court.

# 9 ClevelandFan @ 02/12/13 12:03 PM

Terrible. I give up.

Ever since they took out the 2K Insider blog (NBA 2K12 and NBA 2K13), roster and accessory updates have been horrible. With the blog, he really didn't have to work that hard. The community provided the information that he needed, and the community kept each other in check so players didn't get crazy updates. If your team wasn't getting "accurate" updates, at least you could have went to the blog and presented information to get the changes done...minus the Dallas Mavericks

# 11 allstarr219 @ 02/12/13 12:20 PM

No Tristan Thompson update? Gallinari? Amir Johnson? Smh 2k is horrible

hahaha Now you know that's a problem when the player himself is calling for his place in the roster lol.

edit: This is the first year I been so bother by the updates. I kind of wish they had the blog still. There was a much better back and forth between us and them.

# 13 Blackhail92 @ 02/12/13 12:29 PM

no home or away colorways for the melo 9s? no melo upgrade? d will is out the game for missing two games? ouch 2k

As funny as this is Ronnie has no idea whats going to be in the roster as he just announces when the next update is going to happen....players should really start bugging 2k insider himself to get "results"

# 15 knick9 @ 02/12/13 12:35 PM

I'm telling ya, if NBA Live could come out with a game with decent gameplay but superior support and online play than 2k...they could make a profit.

# 16 jeebs9 @ 02/12/13 12:50 PM

The worst thing about the whole situation is that they don't even say why they have so much problems or why they been so slow on updates this year. This is the worst it's been since the The 2k Insider been in the game smh

No they wouldn't. NBA Live is and will always be terrible when it comes to gameplay. Their sound department on the other hand was awesome. NBA Live is dead just like 2K football has been for years. Move on.

# 18 knick9 @ 02/12/13 01:05 PM

The person in charge of online updates is probably in front of a green screen right now with ping-pong balls taped to his junk doing cheerleader moves for 2k14 instead of going over player stats.

It could be any company, my point is that there is a demand for things which 2k isn't delivering especially the online experience which someone could capitalize on.

# 20 jeebs9 @ 02/12/13 01:10 PM

I'm sitting here trying to put a little logic behind this latest release. Is there a reason Linsey Hunter can't be put into the game as a coach? I kind of feel 2k should just lie to us about the reason they can't change simple little things. And I'm not talking about sneakers and headbands here. I'm talking about Rosters here *Allen Iverson voice* Roster moves are really important when fans play with their favorite team.
