That doesn't affect anything. The Wolves only have 15 players on their roster anyway, no excuse for missing Johnson and particularly Gelabale.

It's not just the roster and settings guys, I could easily add the online guy, the association guy, the physics guy , the my team guy, the nba2k.com website guy, the "upload your replays to youtube guy" and basically all the persons behind the broken game modes and features 2k is delivering EVERY YEAR without being fixed

Game is just broken and they are too lazy to fix it. Roster updates are just the proof

The funny thing is that any of us would take the insider's job. I mean there are already people here that do it for free.

# 24 xVenomx91 @ 03/24/13 02:23 PM

I wish they would just explain to us why we cant get daily updates and correct accesories i mean the insider gets paid to do this and yet we are left with bad updates every single 2k

How do you leave that many players out of the game? I understand the T-Wolves situation: the game is coded so that there can only be 15 guys on a team, but in the case of Kevin Murphy being left out of the game? WHY? He's a second round pick, the 14TH PLAYER on the team! You have room to add him! This is ridiculous. The Insider couldn't take 10 seconds of his time to change Robinson's number either... my god. The Insider is a mess. He/she/they have to go. Hire somebody from OS that actually knows what they're doing. They already do a better job than the Insider and they're working for free. Don't even get me started on the ratings... ugh, what a mess...

Reason why 2K would be nowhere near where it's at without Mike Wang. He knows basketball and what he's doing. Other workers not so much. Their knowledge of the sport is awfully lacking and their bias is unprofessional. It's like Mike Wang is the Michael Jordan of the company and the rest of the guys are like Mark Randall, Chuck Nevit, Jud Buechler etc... I support 2K solely because of their gameplay.

Injury updates should happen daily, Ersan Illyasova played today but Bucks users are going to have to wait a week before they can use him. Surely it can't be that hard to do. Hopefully come playoffs time teams not in it can have their players back from injury, Davis and Afflalo are out for the season but once the season is over we should be able tp use them online.

I find it "cute" that Dwight Howard gets equipment updates rather quickly......I'm sure if he still played for Orlando he will still be wearing arm sleeves....

I agree. Personally I think Vu deserved an update over Harkless. He's been playing at a high level pretty consistently throughout the whole season compared to Harkless.

They should also update Vince Carter's 3pt ratings. He's shooting .409 as his 3PT% making 139 out of 340. If you look at Deron Williams, he's shooting .377 as his 3PT% making 143 out of 379.

Deron WIlliams is playing phenomenal recently and got a recent boost. However, he should not have gotten such a high boost to his 3PT rating at 84. I understand that he plays for a better team and is a more popular player, but this is unfair to players who aren't. Vince Carter currently has a 3PT rating at 82.

# 29 TalenT @ 03/25/13 03:58 PM

Wait...didn't Ilyasova play just last night? Lol

# 30 LoSoisNiCEx414 @ 03/25/13 04:03 PM

Yea Ilyasova missed only 2 games

# 31 DWades House @ 03/25/13 04:52 PM

Insider needs to relax because they didn't take Kobe or Melo off the game when they got injured, but lesser players always end up on milk box cartons fast.

# 32 Maccy46 @ 03/25/13 09:06 PM

Wade misding another game too but won't be put on the injured list. Like i said earlier they need to update the rotations daily or as injuries occur. Ersan won't be useable till the next update, if i was a Bucks user i would be fuming.

Also, why does Bogut get such a high rating (79-80)?

Dude has barely played in the past 2 seasons.

# 37 alinger84 @ 03/26/13 09:12 AM

John Wall deserves a boost at least since yesterday's game!
The Wizards are a +.500 team since his return.

# 38 JazzMan @ 03/26/13 05:23 PM

Can Gordon Hayward get an upgrade yet?

His consistency, athleticism, finishing ability, and defense are immensely underrated on the game. Can't even use him online.

Why, is he playing for the Lakers now? I mean he's not even on the Nets or Clippers...are you sure this guy exists?

2k should finally admit that there's no insider at all. They've edited 12 players in March, 19 in February. 31 edits in 2 months...still they're telling us that a "team" is working on rosters...are we really supposed to be that stupid?

# 40 ERA @ 03/26/13 06:49 PM

How have they still not updated the Suns coach? Alvin Gentry was fired 2 months ago!
