It took over a week to add these minimal changes. Something doesn't add up.

Here are the possible reason I can think of:
1. The 2K Insider only works one hour per week
2. The 2K Insider has other responsibilities at the 2K office
3. The 2K Insider doesn't exist and 2K has been lying to us all along

Yeah, I kinda do. I wish Miami didn't have Wade anymore and had to rely on Bosh - LBJ (like last year). Were a great few games.

The 2K insider is the plumber who has to drop by once a week after the toilets won't flush anymore.

What an absolutely pathetic update. 2k do you know why we want these missing players? It's because we want cyberfaces! A monkey could go on 2k share and download better players than you created.
 
# 85 walnuts56 @ 11/10/12 05:23 PM
lol they finally addeed Teletovic and Shved

Too bad there are sill 20 players missing
 
# 86 chadeo23 @ 11/10/12 05:28 PM
Is there actually anything we can do to tell 2K that this is not acceptable and that every time they release an update like this it's just one big insult? I feel like they're mocking us or something...like they're just saying "Ya we don't care...you already bought the game...what are you gonna do about it?". I want to do something about it! The rosters are bad every year but to me, this is the worst yet.

Owen Good from kotaku...he can probably get to the bottom of who 2k insider is by writing article on how bad the rosters are.

2K need to update the roster rotation.

And you can dress on the bench 13 players. That is a new rule, as the maximum before this past season was 12 players dressed and in uniform for a game. Now 13 players can dress for a game and a coach usually uses a rotation of 8 to 10 players each game.

The commentary INSIDE the game says he's 6'10"....KD was listed at his correct height, since NBA 2K10. When the feature USED to be on the website, people argued about that until he finally changed it.

However, the average, casual consumer of 2K13 has absolutely no idea who guys like Chris Copeland, Brian Roberts, and PJ Tucker are, so adding guys like them to the game isn't urgent to 2K. Yeah, we here on OS are displeased...but the average gamer is perfectly content because James Harden is on the Rockets. It sucks because our displeasure couldn't matter less to 2K, but I suppose that's just business - sales are as high as ever. As long as they get SOMETHING out, most people are happy.

I just wish they would provide a reason why someone like Kyle Singler, who is an important rotation guy for Detroit, or DeQuan Jones, who has started for Orlando, are missing. It just boggles the mind.
Ya you have a point there. But what bothers me so much is that NBA 2K13 is a simulation basketball game. They put all the effort in to make this game play like the real thing so how can you not put in the real rosters? It's a complete contradiction and is mind boggling like you said. Everyone I know who plays this game plays it for it's simulation style and realism...not arcade/just for fun

Singler, Cook, Alan Anderson is basically a sixth man for the raptors and still not in the game.

It has to be an issue on 2K's as to why the obvious its not happening with the rosters. Thank goodness i don't have some of the issues that some of you do. My advice would to just find out who has the rosters that closest resembles what you are looking for and move on.

This. No reason Marquis Teague should be getting minutes over Nate Robinson. Even the starter's minutes are messed up.

Aside from that, I think something else is going on with the rotation. 2k12 had it pretty much perfect if you put the fatigue slider at a certain level. But it seems like on 2k13, mo matter what, the subs come at the wrong times. What NBA team takes out starters halfway through the first quarter, inserts them to begin the second, only to have them ride the bench after the halfway point of the 2nd quarter?

Exactly. I went and downloaded a Teletovic from 2k share and went from there.

I just don't understand why some can't let it go. I'm pretty sure the next update will not be 100% accurate and the next and the next and so on. I'm willing to go out on a limb and say that there is a reason as to why the rosters are the way they are and it's probably not to due laziness as some might think. If I'm wrong? Oh well I'm wrong then. "Men" speak your peace and move on.

I play online. If you can explain how to get custom rosters in an OA I'd shut my trap. Until then I'm tweeting this thread every time I think of basketball. Sidenote: I think of basketball a lot

I don't have an answer for you JerzeyReign wish I did. As someone mentioned earlier maybe you should tweet the Kobe "Stare of Death" Lol
 
# 97 MrBigShot1 @ 11/10/12 07:40 PM
The past three updates combined together make a half-baked update. Individually, you can't even call them updates..
 
# 98 Taer @ 11/10/12 07:42 PM
It would be nice if 2k had separate accessible rosters for offline and online use; it would make a lot more flexibility available to both online and offline uses.

Message to NBA 2kinsider: They have not fired you yet? Get back to me later.
 
# 100 SteboSSK @ 11/10/12 08:46 PM
Have they ever updated coaches in roster updates?
