# 4 ClevelandFan @ 04/02/13 12:58 PM

# 5 JazzMan @ 04/02/13 01:01 PM

Still no Hayward, Vucevic, or Harris update? Stupid.

# 6 diehardknicksfan @ 04/02/13 01:07 PM

Damn. I was hoping they'd jump the gun and upgrade my man j.r. We all know 2k love j.r. He gets like 5 edits every year since becoming a knick

And why no Harris upgrade. He had a 30-10 game recently. Vucevic is an underated rebounder in the game.

He's basically having the worst offensive efficiency of his entire career this season. What exactly is he better at this year?

# 8 PH1LLYSFINEST13 @ 04/02/13 01:17 PM

Im afraid of how long it will take them to Add Justin Holiday to the Sixers.

# 9 LoSoisNiCEx414 @ 04/02/13 01:21 PM

LARRY SANDERS!

# 10 Rockie_Fresh88 @ 04/02/13 01:49 PM

Yeah, also if a player has a few nice games in a row it's time for an upgrade.
He averages like 25 ppg for his last 5 games, big deal...the only difference between this season and the last few years is that Smith takes more shots, that's it.

# 12 Thunder Storm @ 04/02/13 02:01 PM

These updates are hideous. Injuries...thats all.

I'll try my luck next season with NBA 2K14 on PS4. Maybe with a new console the insider will put more effort.

# 13 saaddzz @ 04/02/13 02:23 PM

Not only the transactions and ratings are problems. Have you seen the tendencies of players?!?! Jamal Crawford has around 95 tendency for shooting, whenever i vs him, he KEEPS SHOOTING!!

Same for JR Smith, his tendency is crazy. Even for Chauncey Billups, his 3pt tendency is 99!!! He kept shooting 3's over me and got like 8-11.

Ratings, don't matter too much, it only matters in Association and mycareer. Tendencies affect every game mode.

Yup, tendencies are totally fu*ked up...another great one is O.J. Mayo taking >30 fgas because of inflated 3pt-tendencies

Transactions needed for next update: *Players on wrong teams as of 4-2-13 roster update

Kris Joseph signed 10 day contract with Brooklyn Nets - Move from FA
Jeremy Pargo - 76ers - Released To FA
Shelvin Mack - Added to Hawks from FA
Travis Leslie - Jazz - Released to FA
Thomas Robinson - Change to # 41

What is frustrating the most for me is the fact that despite myself and Rashidi coming up with a list of missing players/transactions time and time again, the insider does not take any of those into account. I feel like the best use of these and 2K forums are to educate the 2K Insider of things he may of missed, but despite the knowledge given to him which is ACCURATE, he still chooses to ignore them and then if I contact LD2K/Ronnie and they pass the info along, it is still ignored.

The most important thing here is accuracy for the rosters. The following players are on the disc and easy to add to rosters, although they would have to be updated with correct height,weight,college,draft and ratings/tendencies info.

Philadelphia 76ers:
Royal Ivey – change to SG/PG
Damien Wilkins – change to SG/SF
Jeremy Pargo – Release to FA
Justin Holiday – Create – Signed for Remainder of Season

Charlotte Bobcats:
N/A

Portland Trailblazers:
Victor Claver – Add Portrait (2507)
Joel Freeland – Add Portrait – (2508)

Golden State Warriors:
Kent Bazemore – SG/PG – Create

Washington Wizards:
n/a

Even the lack of accuracy with the player portraits for already included players. Victor Claver and Joel Freeland of Portland remain without Player Portraits despite being on the disc (Claver #2507) (Freeland #2508). No excuse for the lack of detail there.

Regarding Lindsey Hunter of Phoenix ( his player portrait is on the disc with no CF) has not been added, but even more troubling is the lack of detail with Assistant Coaches ( Terry Stotts still Mavericks Assistant despite being the Trailblazers head coach, Patrick Ewing Still Orlando Magic Assistant despite being released and worst of all Scott Layden still Utah Assistant Coach despite being Asst.GM in San Antonio, and Jeff Hornaceck already being on the disc as a classic team player who should be the top Asst.) It is just the little things like, that I would lobby for a change or at least let me be a volunteer consultant, as I have never bashed 2K and will continue to support their product but at least update the easy stuff. Ratings are subject to opinion, but accurate rosters and coaches on teams are a MUST. Just my two sense

# 16 PPerfect_CJ @ 04/02/13 03:18 PM

These "roster update" threads are always good for a laugh.

# 17 giftedchick @ 04/02/13 04:22 PM

jr smith is having a nice season... he is neck and neck with j. crawford for 6th man award
he's the player they rely on behind melo

# 18 basketball444 @ 04/02/13 07:08 PM

Well if there is rating updates tomorrow hopefully these guys get a boost in some way:

Tobias Harris (a must update)
Nikola Vucevic
Jeff Teague (No way should bledsoe have a higher rating)
Gordon Hayward (55 defensive rating? lol)

# 19 Bretsky523 @ 04/02/13 07:32 PM

Could someone please post an offline link for the update tomorrow?

thanks, Brett

# 20 tates23 @ 04/02/13 08:20 PM

It's looking like 2k is done with actual post release support now that the season is heading into the playoffs in a few weeks
