Klay Thompson who just got over 40% from the field?

# 22 dj123456705 @ 12/18/12 10:17 PM

Richard Jefferson and Anthony Davis are back playing

There's nothing you can do.

# 24 Angel_G @ 12/18/12 10:50 PM

Eddie House has said he is not retired and he is waiting for calls and is hopeful he will sign somewhere b/c of Rasheed Wallace and Jerry Stackhouse being signed. Although if they have him next year on the FA pool they are lazy.

# 25 Angel_G @ 12/18/12 11:34 PM

Yea I don't think Mike Bibby was on his list though and I wouldn't have removed Johnny Flynn since he has an NBA out clause.

Numbers wise? I don't know... But I know he definitely needs substantial upgrades in the shooting, rebounding, and athleticism categories; and it may be a stretch, but possibly in the ball handling category also.

The problem is that the Lakers are not nearly as good as their ratings, at least not collectively, besides maybe Kobe and MWP. So, 2K really needs to lower several other Lakers' ratings before they address MWP being underrated. And really, he should only go slightly up in a few categories, as he's beginning to balance out.

# 28 LoSoisNiCEx414 @ 12/19/12 08:13 AM

Still no upgrade for Larry Sanders, smh

# 29 ramspeedkill @ 12/19/12 02:58 PM

are they ever going to have correct hair (poney) on kenneth faried????

# 30 The 24th Letter @ 12/19/12 03:14 PM

Serious Question: Do you guys who request updates to add players that rarely play actually use these guys in ranked games? Or do you just like to see them there?

Unfortunately, I agree. They should start with Antawn Jamison. He hasn't been playing anywhere near as good as a 77 rating.

Isn't it possible these people who request these players be added want to use said players in Association mode? Isn't it possible these players at the end of the bench could be some people's favorite players?

# 32 LoSoisNiCEx414 @ 12/19/12 03:52 PM

Larry Sanders & Mike Dunleavy needs upgrade. & yes I play with both online.

Could definitely be the case....

When I said serious question, I meant it....I genuinely wanted to know.

I would think you would just DL a roster if you wanted them in Assoc. mode though...

# 34 theycallmeZZ @ 12/19/12 05:42 PM

Landry Fields just came back yesterday

# 35 Biagas @ 12/19/12 08:03 PM

Take lamb out of the D-League..he's playing right now..OKC will send them down there every once and awhile. Just keep him in the rotation..

What's even worse is that Kenneth Faried asked Ronnie2K outright on Twitter around the time 2K13 was first released about his ponytail and dude has still been ignored. It's this kind of stuff (among other things about 2K's post-launch support) that makes me wish EA would get their act together and ship a quality NBA Live game to compete with the 2K series. Competition helps breed better games in my opinion.

Don't think it's a matter of competition but a matter of technology. 2k12 stated there would be player art updates last year but they never came to light. They were smart this time and never made a claim that they would be doing player art updates this time around for 2k13. Think Ronnie was just trying to talk down Faried similar to when a hostage negotiator says "I'll see what I can do" or "I'll look into that". They know very well they will not be fueling up a private jet with 10 million in cash on board and fly them to their desired destination which does not abide by extradiction laws..

I think 2k thought they could do this but realized they can't on current hardware maybe..

Also please add Victor to the current *active* rotation in favor of Ronnie Price.

He's at 43% the last 10 games and is scoring 15 a game. Didn't say he should get a huge boost but he's better than a 72
