Re: NBA 2K13 Video - Roster Update (12-13-12)

2k are dropping the ball big time! Tell me how raymond felton doesn't have at least a B+ or better inside?? With the way he has been playing. Come on 2k you gotta do better.

Because hes a horrible finisher? The dude blows just as much layups as Shawn Marion

Re: NBA 2K13 Video - Roster Update (12-13-12)

I sure hope in this roster update I can actually get some good use out of Lin. I was using him before hand and he stunk. My association had him on LAC and Griffin was my main scorer.

What's the problem?

Lin stinks IRL so why do you expect him to be good in nba 2K as well?

[ksuttonjr76]

Nice. He finally changed Paul George to 6'10" and gave him a small boost.

Whats his Overall now?

[shakes08]

Let me guess - still no updates to MYTEAM rosters right? Its probably still missing the players that are on the regular rosters and has never gotten ratings adjustments like the regular rosters.

*facepalm*

Magic Johnson says otherwise.

He's not great, that much is certain. But he doesn't suck. In fact, a 77-78 overall sounds about right.

*nudges left* Then again, I'm biased.

Re: NBA 2K13 Video - Roster Update (12-13-12)

Anyone notice playbooks change? Nicolas Batum's plays on Portland are completely different?

Update: LaMarcus' are changed as well

[Gangrel]

Re: NBA 2K13 Video - Roster Update (12-13-12)

Sigh, STILL no jerseys on the PC roster file....... still missing all the XMAS ones, the Heat white heat ones, and at least 3 or 4 other alternates...... if they are on the console, why not PC???

Re: NBA 2K13 Video - Roster Update (12-13-12)

@Batum do they look like plays that vannhawk used? if they are then maybe insider is actually taking out the broken plays?

As per Rashidis blog ...

NBA 2K13 Roster Analysis 12/13/12

2K Sports appears to have heard the complaints of the fans (and possibly this blog) as they released another NBA 2K13 roster update after only three days (the previous roster took 18 days). Unfortunately, as with all things 2K, it seems everytime they take a step forward they take two steps back.

I've combed through the roster and posted the comprehensive details (and my thoughts) for your viewing pleasure.

------------------------------------------------------

PLAYER EDITS

Not a single player had a rating edit over the past 5 days. Paul George's overall went up one point, but as you'll see below that was a cosmetic change and wasn't an actual attribute adjustment.

Player attribute edits per roster
12/13: 0
12/8: 15
12/5: 14
11/17: 16

It goes without saying that this is a step in the wrong direction after 2K showed much promise in their 12/8 roster. They follow up 15 players in only 3 days with 0 in 5 days, which I suppose should have been totally expected.

In the past few days we've seen...
Jeremy Lin drop 38 points (after multiple rating decreases)
Tony Parker record his first career triple double
Joakim Noah go for 30/23/6
Larry Sanders record a triple double off the bench.
Carmelo Anthony tie Harden's NBA high of 45 points.

2K didn't feel any of this was worth adjusting, which shouldn't surprise anyone whose been playing 2K more than a year (I assure you, the last 12 haven't been much different).

------------------------------------------------------

Paul George
79 Overall (+1)

Height 6'10" (+2)

If you didn't know before, you know now. Height affects overall rating.

------------------------------------------------------

INJURED PLAYERS

76ers: Andrew Bynum (87/C)
Bobcats: Tyrus Thomas (71/PF)
Bucks: Beno Udrih (68/PG)
Bulls: Derrick Rose (92/PG), Richard Hamilton (73/SG)
Cavaliers: N/A
Celtics: Avery Bradley (79/SG)
Clippers: Chauncey Billups (81/PG), Grant Hill (77/SF), Trey Thompkins (63/PF)
Grizzlies: N/A
Hawks: N/A
Heat: N/A
Hornets: Eric Gordon (84/SG)
Jazz: Raja Bell (71/SG)
Kings: N/A
Knicks: Amare Stoudemire (83/PF), Iman Shumpert (80/SG)
Lakers: Steve Nash (87/PG), Pau Gasol (81/PF), Steve Blake (68/PG)
Magic: Hedo Turkoglu (72/SF), Al Harrington (71/PF)
Mavericks: Dirk Nowitzki (84/PF)
Nets: Brook Lopez (80/C)
Nuggets: Wilson Chandler (80/SF)
Pacers: Danny Granger (83/SF), Jeff Pendergraph (62/PF)
Raptors: Landry Fields (73/SF), Alan Anderson (66/SF)
Rockets: Royce White (68/PF)
Spurs: Kawhi Leonard (80/SF), Stephen Jackson (78/SF)
Suns: Channing Frye (67/PF)
Thunder: N/A
Timberwolves: Brandon Roy (80/SG), Ricky Rubio (78/PG), Chase Budinger (71/SF)
Trail Blazers: Elliot Williams (66/SG)
Warriors: Andrew Bogut (79/C), Richard Jefferson (74/SF), Brandon Rush (71/SG)
Wizards: John Wall (82/PG), Trevor Ariza (76/SF), Trevor Booker (67/PF), A.J. Price (55/PG)

NEW
Kawhi Leonard (80/SF, Spurs)
A.J. Price (55/PG, Wizards)

RECOVERED
Kyrie Irving (85/PG, Cavaliers)
Anthony Davis (79/PF, Hornets)
Victor Claver (62/SF, Trail Blazers)

MISSING
Dion Waiters (71/SG, Cavaliers) - Out since 12/1
Kyle Korver (63/SG, Hawks) - Out since 11/28
Kyle Lowry (82/PG, Raptors) - Partial triceps tear on 12/10, will be out 10 days.
Andrea Bargnani (73/PF, Raptors) - Tore elbow ligament on 12/10

2K corrected all inaccuracies from the previous roster, but did not keep up with new injury developments. Irving and Davis returning is huge for fans of their respective teams. We will probably (hopefully) see another update over the weekend as Brook Lopez (Friday) and Ricky Rubio (Saturday) also make their returns.

------------------------------------------------------

MISSING PLAYERS

No additional players were added.

Maalik Wayns has played in 9 of the last 10 games, replacing Royal Ivey as backup PG.
James White has played in 9 of the last 10 games.
Ben Hansbrough just replaced D.J. Augustin as backup PG.

------------------------------------------------------

UPDATED MISSING PLAYER LIST
Maalik Waayns (PG) - 76ers
Kevin Jones (PF) - Cavaliers
Terrel Harris (SG) - Heat
Kevin Murphy (SG) - Jazz
James White (SF/SG) - Knicks
Darius Johnson-Odom (SG) - Lakers
Julyan Stone (PG/SG) - Nuggets
Ben Hansbrough (PG/SG) - Pacers
Scott Machado (PG) - Rockets
Diante Garrett (SG) - Suns
Luke Zeller (C/PF) - Suns
Kent Bazemore (SG/SF) - Warriors
TOTAL: 12

------------------------------------------------------

INCORRECT LINEUPS

2K Sports finally fixed the Spurs lineup after nearly a month of having the injured Kawhi Leonard in the starting lineup, but they haven't kept up with other happenings in the league.

Last week 2K had 7 incorrect lineups, down from 13, which was a positive development. However instead of knocking out the rest of them, 2K seems to have rested on their laurels this week and the number has risen back up to 11.

The NBA is a fluid league where we can anticipate rotation and lineup changes happening thanks to minutes played. It is very easy to keep up with rotations on a daily basis, so 2K's inability to keep up with this is for the most part inexcusable.

------------------------------------------------------

76ERS
Jrue Holiday (PG), Jason Richardson (SG), Evan Turner (SF), Thaddeus Young (PF), Kwame Brown (C)

As I pointed out on December 5th, Lavoy Allen has been starting at center, not Kwame Brown.


BOBCATS
Kemba Walker (PG), Jeff Taylor (SG), Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (SF), Byron Mullens (PF), Brendan Haywood (C)

Bismack Biyombo replaced Haywood in the starting lineup on December 8th (three starts since).


BUCKS
Brandon Jennings (PG), Monta Ellis (SG), Marquis Daniels (SF), John Henson (PF), Epke Udoh (C)

Larry Sanders took over starting duties from Henson on December 5th. Maddeningly, Samuel Dalembert was placed in reserve even though he is still playing. Dalembert even started a game on 12/12. At small forward, Luc Richard Mbah a Moute started last night and his return to health has probably taken Marquis Daniels out of the rotaiton for good.

CAVALIERS
Kyrie Irving (PG), Dion Waiters (SG), Alonzo Gee (SF), Tristan Thompson (PF), Anderson Varejao (C)
Waiters has been hurt, and C.J. Miles has been starting in his place and dropped 28 points in each of his last two games.

CELTICS
Rajon Rondo (PG), Courtney Lee (SG), Paul Pierce (SF), Brandon Bass (PF), Kevin Garnett (C)
As I pointed out November 17th, Jason Terry is the starting SG, not Courtney Lee.

HAWKS
Jeff Teague (PG), Kyle Korver (SG), Josh Smith (SF), Al Horford (PF), Zaza Pachulia (C)
As I pointed out December 5th, the Hawks proper starting lineup is DeShawn Stevenson at SG, Kyle Korver at SF, Josh Smith at PF, and Al Horford at C. Korver has missed the last few games due to injury and Devin Harris has started in his place, shifting Stevenson to SF. (i.e. NOT Zaza Pachulia)

HEAT
Mario Chalmers (PG), Dwyane Wade (SG), LeBron James (SF), Shane Battier (PF), Chris Bosh (C)
Battier has not started since November 24th. Rashard Lewis and Udonis Haslem have been taking turns starting at PF in his stead, with Haslem drawing 3 of the last 4 starts. Battier missed some games to injury, but has been coming off the bench since returning.

HORNETS
Grevis Vasquez (PG), Roger Mason (SG), Al-Farouq Aminu (SF), Anthony Davis (PF), Robin Lopez (C)
Austin Rivers returned to the starting lineup on 12/11, replacing Mason.

NETS
Deron Williams (PG), Joe Johnson (SG), Gerald Wallace (SF), Kris Humphries (PF), Andray Blatche (C)
Reggie Evans replaced Humphries in the starting lineup on 12/9.

RAPTORS
Kyle Lowry (PG), Demar DeRozan (SG), Linas Kleiza (SF), Andrea Bargnani (PF), Jonas Valanciunas (C)
Mickael Pietrus has been starting since December 3rd (6 games ago). Kleiza hasn't even been healthy, missing the last 3 games with injury. Andrea Bargnani will miss about two months to injury and Ed Davis has taken his place in the starting lineup. Lowry will miss a little over a week and Jose Calderon will start in his place.

SUNS
Goran Dragic (PG), Shannon Brown (SG), Michael Beasley (SF), Markieff Morris (PF), Marcin Gortat (C)
Beasley just lost his starting job to Jared Dudley on 12/8 and may not even have a place in the rotation by the end of the week.

------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
This roster takes away all the good feelings built up in the December 8th roster. We had bare bones changes that have allowed the league to progress further out of date. Here's hoping 2K has something big planned for the weekend.

LeBron has been having the 4th signature skill although I believe he shouldn't.

What signature skill did he have before?

[jasonw2]

Re: NBA 2K13 Video - Roster Update (12-13-12)

Kosta Koufos is better than a 57. He's starting for the Nuggets.

[ZephyrSong]

Re: NBA 2K13 Video - Roster Update (12-13-12)

What signature skill did he have before?

He had Interceptor before Closer. I believe in the previous update they already changed the sig skill. I always play a game daily so I noticed.

[ksuttonjr76]

Re: NBA 2K13 Video - Roster Update (12-13-12)

As per Rashidis blog ...

Thanks...I compared Paul George's ratings to the previous roster update, and I just discovered for the first time that height does impact the overall ratings. As a heads up, Paul George is 80 overall if you play him at the SF position.

Now, it's time for me to continue my David West campaign. He probably won't get increased until he makes the All-Star team (coach selection).
