These roster updates are extremely detailed and well done, but I don't understand the point of it, or at least the really detailed stuff like socks and attribute boosts of 1-5 in one specific area. I mean someone could be an 80 free throw, then go 7/10 one day and suddenly be a 70-something?
Also, are these updates just for playing games online? or just for playing exhibitions on the main menu? I don't get it. Are they for MyGM?
It just seems like a ton of busy work and for what exactly? Does everyone really play everyday and make use of all these adjustments? I play MyCAREER almost exclusively, and I know I'm not the only one, so it's just surprising to me.
Any thoughts or clarifications on this?
Great points!... Rosters have been something that have dragged in the past few years. I totally enjoy coming here and seeing stuff updated. Because it keeps the game really fresh. I kind of wish we had this for the PS3.
I do wonder what people play more. Because I couldn't imagine trying to start a franchise mode with all these updates. You'd start a new one everyday!
For now... I'm just going to enjoy these daily updates. I think as a group this has been something we been asking for a long time now.
I wonder how the NBA players feel about it. They can't even put different socks on without some one noticing lol
Mike I love the hard work and attention to detail, you're on point with this. Be careful about ratings creep, one of the things you were really good at in the past is using the whole slider spectrum. In game you could tell smart from dumb, fast from slow, and good from bad. I'm worried you're gonna end up with somewhat of a homogenized group where different players don't play as distinctly as they did in your old rosters. You definitely hit more players hard in this update, but the volume of risers (and the fact that all the neutral guys were buffed also) is noticeable.
Obviously, finding guys who are struggling is a bit tougher as they don't jump out on the box score and they can be a bit invisible on TV. You also don't want to jump on a tiny sample size and kill guys (but if you're jumping on tiny samples and buffing guys you have to do the opposite or you unbalance all your hard work).
A couple candidates for regression:
Kris Middleton: 3pt
Evan Turner: Ball,PSIQ,PSVIS
JR Smith: 3pt,shotIQ
Marvin Williams
Gerald Henderson:shooting, shot IQ,
Kirilenko:defense
Caron Butler
Scola: shoot close, post, hands
Enes Kanter: rebounding
Trey Burke: 3pt, shot IQ
Ty Lawson: shooting, shotIQ, ball control
Arron Afflalo: shotIQ
Andrew Nicholson
Terrence Ross
Darius Miller
Eric Gordon
Now that the Kobe Elites Hi tops are available to choose, give them to Kobe Bryant, and give him medium socks (his socks go above the high tops slightly)
Lineups are accurate until you create a season or franchise mode...That is disappointing the CPU resets the rotation based on ratings. It shouldnt be like that. 2K needs to fix realistic rotation on roster and in game.
Once the 2K Team can integrate these daily updates into MyGM and MyLeague, then we will be in virtual ball utopia! Great stuff!
Yea that's NEVER going to happen. You have guys who are already like 2 or 3 years into their MYGM or MyLeague and the league is different from the updates. What happens to their file? Do they get to keep their file or is reverted to the daily update. That is the problem with your idea.

Also, JR. Smith wears them
Haven't played today but are they Customizeable in the Shoe Editor?
Beds. Thank you brother thank you. Loving the updates. Makes me play NBA Today more often. Couldn't stand that mode last year due to roster inaccuracies.
So Kobe gets an improvement despite shooting at 40% (30% from 3) and already averaging 3.2 TOs in 5 games? I feel it should at least be balanced out, sure he gets an improvement from midrange and driving the basket but he should have a dip in Shot IQ and Offensive/defensive consistency since he is most just chunking up shots for the team making 9.8 of the 24.4 shots he attempts. And I know this isn't anything bias seeing a Star like Lebron take a dip too since he has been playing poorly lately. At least there were some players on the Laker team that took a dip, like Boozer and Lin, who haven't been playing too well lately
But for the overall work you are doing, I want to say you're doing a swell job! Keep up the consistent great work!
Yes, he does. And Kobe's shot selection is the same at 36 as it was at 21. He's simply missing and that's in part due to him being inactive for over a year. At 89 OVR he's still lower than he should be.
Bless u brother you have been GREAT!!!!!!!!! This is what the 2k fans have wanted for years and 2k has that MAN. now on to my request Stoudemire has been killing on the rebounds and consistent on his scoring.
Stoudamire needs the post spin badge (I'm pretty sure that is a badge), because that is the move he mastered when he trained with Hakeem. It's his go to post move.

I doubt Mike can update the art for the arena through the roster
Also, if you guys watched the Lakers so far this eyar, you would understand the Kobe boost. They run an offense straight out of 2K: Everyone screws up the spacing while trying to move around, dumb picks that create congestion and lead to easy double teams, everyone standing inside the 3 point line, etc
Dahhhhh...I know what roster updates are fool...it called a suggestion!!!! Smile!!!!
