Even if he doesn't have a great rating, make his Potential A++ so he can inspire to be the star he wanted to become, much respect 2k!!

Has anyone been able to check out Isaiah in the free agency pool (not MyTeam) yet? Just wondering if my invisibility issue is unique to me or not.

Whoops hadn't seen Phreezy's post. At least glad to know I'm not the only one. You guys on PC or is this a multi-platform issue?

I am also not able to see him. On PC. His name appears but he's invisible.

# 26 FluffyTonka @ 12/17/14 01:14 AM

2k giveth, then immediately taketh.

# 27 Sundown @ 12/17/14 02:06 AM

Wow, this move is classy as hell.

# 28 kgbrolic @ 12/17/14 08:40 AM

Highly respectable and classy move from 2k. Kudos!

Ok now that is hilarous!! But great move by the NBA/2k.

I know it would be hard, but if we could play MyCareer as Isaiah and he would voice act himself.

It's like playing as the Predator. You can't SEE him...you can't STOP him!

Guess Isaiah figured he didn't have to show up if half the crowd didn't...

# 36 mphoenixinio @ 12/17/14 02:18 PM

haven't used him yet. but congrats to 2k for adding him.

# 37 Yeezus123 @ 12/17/14 02:41 PM

Great move by 2K, i don't think anybody saw this coming. Me personally, I'm just going to 99 every one of his stats and beast with him haha. Don't hate!

# 38 BA2929 @ 12/17/14 04:06 PM

I'm sad to see people have taken the time to complain about something not even related to this great news in this thread.

Next time, please think before you post. Not every thread needs default back to a patch, a complaint, or something not working correctly.

This guy had his dream taken away from him for no reason other than bad luck really. Great move by 2k. I'm thinking about restarting my MyLeague (again) just to add him in. I had just started a new one last week.

Kind of like NBA live giving that one girl her own cover photo on NBA live 15. When companies do this it's pretty cool

# 40 StankonYa @ 12/17/14 06:12 PM

Kind of surprised 2k didn't do this sooner. Good job for everyone involved.
