Developer Posts Wrong NBA 2K13 Roster Update, New Roster Arrives Tomorrow

[ManhattanBeachLakers]

lol @ people defending 2k for this horrific roster updates.

In case you should know, MLB The SHOW updates their rosters EVERY Monday morning and it includes every SINGLE player (including no-name rookies) that play for the team. Now that is dedication, part of the reason why I respect Sony Sports more than 2k.

I can not believe the all the losers who complain about meaningless things like what rthe courts look like and if players are wearing the right colored headbands, armbands etc etc.

Spare me that bull****.

All that matters is that every player with a guaranteed contract is in the game. Accurate rosters are what matters.

Who gives a **** about decorations?

Why isn't it enough for you to just say you want accurate rosters?

Some folks like their games as accurate as possible, others aren't detailed oriented and just want the "basics," and some folks just mash buttons and couldn't care less about anything else.

It's super short-sighted to tell other people they're wrong because they don't see it your way.

Preferences, my man. When you ignore them, you look ignorant.

This is the last forum I expected to see such vitriol and venom towards a dev team. Usually its limited to one or two trolls but it seems there's an infestation as of late.

Some of you are just horrible, miserable little ****s aren't you?

All I know is that hell will freeze over if tomorrow's update isn't improved...lol

We want what we paid for. If you go to a restaurant and order a 12 oz Ribeye cooked well done and you receive a fried chicken leg wouldn't you be pissed or would you just say "oh well, I will take what I get?"

Everyone on here has every right to speak what they expect. We were promised many things from 2K and yet again they are not delivering.

[MarvinOida]

Hopefully they update it, Shawne Williams isn't on the Portland Trail Blazers, Elliot Williams is injured FOR THE YEAR, Sasha Pavolvic is on the 15 man roster (as I recall) and Claver and Freeland should be on the roster.

Honestly when a roster update comes, a Thread called, "Notable Corrections for Roster Update _______" and we as a community help the 2K Insider and tell him our teams correct roster, gear, shoes whatever.

No need to call anyone names.


I'm sick of the way 2K works. It's never on time, it's never perfect, they are slackers in the biggest way possible.


Let us at OS make a list, 50 things 2K needs to change. Most things are minor details, they can do 30 of those in 1 week. I want to give them 3 months to change all the other problems, if they fix all of that then I'll stop complaining.

Some of have very very good jobs where we can browse while on the job.

The way you spell I highly doubt it...working in a call center isn't a good job to me lol

Look, no offense fellas but all this "extra stuff" post release costs them money to work on and release so the less of it they do, the less money they have to spend on development of all this post release content.

The higher ups DO NOT want them working on this stuff because they've already made their money on units sold and whatever money they make through virtual currency is icing. All I'm saying is YOU ARE NOT OWED ANY OF THIS POST RELEASE CONTENT. You paid $60 for the game you bought in august THAT'S. IT. Whatever you get from here on out is a LUXURY.

Uh. No. We bought the product understanding that "Live Rosters" is one of the features we paid in advance for. They even hyped that they had a NBA Insider doing the roster updates but the Insider's become a bit of a running joke regarding 2K roster support, even to 2K themselves.

These advertised features actually drive sales, so it's completely upon them to deliver. It doesn't "cost them money", unless you believe that businesses don't owe you quality, promised goods, services, and support once they receive payment.

Now we should probably expect the roster support to be dodgey, as it's been for years, but voicing dissatisfaction about it is completely consistent with keeping 2K accountable for services owed.

This thread ran off the rails.

Noticed the mess up I guess. They have Harden on HOU, but still Cook, Aldrich on OKC.

Is anyone having issues with 2K share, I want to download draft classes for dynasty mode.

Re: Developer Posts Wrong NBA 2K13 Roster Update, New Roster Arrives Tonight

What kinda disappoints me is the fact that 2k conceals the insider's identity like he's on witness protection, like they know he's garbage at this, and they think it's a funny thing.

I don't think the 2K Insider actually exists. They can afford to have him be a running joke because he's not someone who actually works at the office.

He's also become a convenient scapegoat for 2K, as we all blame "The Insider" for lackluster ratings and roster updates. It sort of puts distance between roster inadequacies and 2K itself, since folks think things will magically improve if 2K just fired the Insider. :wink:

I think the Insider is just some intern or gameplay dev on break, and that dev might not be particularly passionate about the NBA or rosters and wanting to get every little thing correct. Compare that to the work folks here put into their own rosters. 2K would make their game play so much better for so many people if they would simply contract a couple of these guys for a small fee. I bet they'd even agree to having their work distributed as part of 2K's official rosters for free.

Old as in how long? They did have the Harden trade, which was just this past Saturday. I highly doubt they have done anything beyond that (unless they are scrambling today to get some of the missing guys in). I still don't expect people's expectations to be met. People should not get their hopes up and just get one of the hex rosters from the roster forum.

No go for us PS3 users.
