I don't think a big deal should be made at this point either, but it is curious how rookie signings that were completed Friday are not in but free agent signings as late as yesterday are reflected. And where is Aaron Brooks? LOL I understand Brandon Roy being completely removed, but Aaron Brooks is nowhere to be found. Did he retire, too? LOL

He's in China with J.R. Smith, Wilson Chandler and Kenyon Martin. All their cyberfaces are on 2k.

Oh ok, I didn't know he went overseas, too.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you

"The Kyrie Irving Update"

Seriously 2K should just wait til opening night to release the update.

In 2K's defense, I would guess that the roster minimum/maximum limitations played a factor as well. For example, you have to have at least 12 players on the in-game roster, and you can't have more than 15. That probably preventing them from adding certain players and waiving certain players. The old school Lives had this right where you could have a minimum of 8 players on a roster.

I see 2K's reasoning, though, since they are going by NBA official rules.

That probably is the main issue. Nice catch!

I would disagree about them "going by NBA official rules" though. I just think it's more work than they want to put in right now. It would require at least a small patch for a problem that's only going to last a couple of weeks anyway. It's cheaper to ignore it till rosters fill out and it fixes itself.

whats the most crap about all this is the fact 2k is never honest about anything and ill give it to EA on these boards they dont feed you complete crap an dates. Seriously these rookies should have been ready to go and they were not and there is no excuse for that. They didnt even make changes to thing team colors like white shoes for the bulls or even worse adding rip to the bulls which was done before mike bibby signed

So is this even worth downloading the update?

Its not a download, it will automically update the roster for you after you start the game up.

I am curious as to why the rookies they added still have the toon face on the player card and not real photo?

Yup PA announcer says metta world peace but Clark Steve and Kevin say artest

Seriously? You are upset about this? Yeah, it would be cool if they said his new name but what does it matter anyways? Most of the announcers will probably still call him Artest in real life. Even if they don't, it doesn't ruin the game for me.

rosters are auto update unless you arent connected to internet

Re: Official NBA 2k12 roster update #1 available, Post impressions here

Yep. Rosters are automatically put on.

I'm wondering though, some people stated that they got a prompt to ask them to download a 47 mb download, what's that all about?

Did the 2K Insider update any of the players attributes or tendencies, especially the legend ones, since they seem to be so way off since the game first got released.

Why is everyone getting so upset? This is the first roster update. If this were Christmas Day I could understand. Some of you are overreacting. It's going to take a little while to get the rosters right, besides, the rosters are going to change drastically on a daily basis between now and Christmas .

What we are seeing in the NBA is unprecedented. I don't think realistically 2K Sports can keep up with all the player movement. I'm not defending them, but we have to be patient. It's actually our lack of patience that caused these guys to release a roster update this early in the first place. I want the new rosters just as bad as anyone. I'm a roster freak. But between now and Christmas NBA rosters are going to change so much that today's roster update won't even matter anyways. And seriously, people are upset that trades weren't reflected in the update? For crying out loud, move Odom yourself lol.

I guess I'm just happy to get any kind of update. The lockout wasn't 2K's fault. I'm trying to be patient because I know if we keep expecting accurate rosters every day we are going to force them to release updates that aren't ready and will probably be glitched or half-done. I'm sure rookies will be added and trades will be reflected in the next few updates. It's going to take a little while.

I wouldn't say that consumer lack of patience is the reason for the roster update. It was a promised feature. Unfortunately for 2K, the lockout prevented them from updating the rosters initially. Now that the lockout is over, they are beginning to deliver on their promise to the consumer. It's Business 101, not consumer impatience.
