NBA 2K13 Roster Update Details (4-2-13)

2k increased J.R. Smith's stamina to 98...his consistency received +15 even though he's pretty horrible in terms of his shooting percentages. Ridiculous...

I know Knicks stans wil disagree, but Hayward is actually not worse than Smith if you look at his contributions. The only advantage of J.R is rebounding, but Hayward is more efficient offensively, at least equal in terms of passing and fouls not as much.
Smith takes 15 shots per game to give you 17.5 ppg, Hayward only need 10 shots for 14.5 ppg.

Now I'm not sure about defense, so to people who watch the Jazz more often than I do...how good is Hayward defensively?

Hayward is Utah's best perimeter defender, no doubt.

I have a pretty strong doubt. DeMarre Carroll is at least slightly better in every advanced defensive metric available. Hayward's a close number 2 though.

I think the most disappointing thing about 2k rosters is the missing players. It almost seems like a respect issue - idk.

It's the gift and the curse of online gaming.

Back in the day...we used to just sign the best or most similar free agents available to replace injured/missing players, but with unalterable online rosters, these players have become essential for certain teams/modes.

At this point, all the missing guys are either on non-playoff teams, or probably won't make the active playoff rosters of the good teams, so I doubt we'll see any more of them added. There's at least some small chance that the Insider has access to that type of information.

I don't know about Carroll. He's a great hustler and defender, but in crunch time, Hayward is the guy guarding the Kobe's and Durant's.

Well, if Hayward always gets the tougher assignment, that would certainly explain his slightly worse numbers.

How to download the roster?

No Kent Bazemore...

Why didn't they take out lebron, dwade, chalmers, and ray Allen in this update? I know lebron and Allen are coming back tonight, but that is besides the point. They've been injured for more than a week or a week and a half by the time this update came out

If Gordon called was so good he would be winning his team games....

What are you talking about?

He started the game off against New Orleans shooting 1-8 in the first half with 3 points.

He finished the game shooting 9-18 with 23 points. And guess what? Utah won.

In case you didn't know, Utah has won 6 of their last 7.

You don't know ****. The Lakers don't have the depth that the Jazz do. LA is getting old and they're getting beat up. Utah is surging and has the easier schedule the rest of the way.

I just think it's funny that you're automatically dismissing the Jazz, who own the tiebreaker of LA and are finally getting on a role after their horrible stretch, which allowed LA to actually get in playoff contention.

not to be mean.. but does an 'easier schedule' even apply to the jazz? when another team has an upcoming jazz game i would consider them as having the easy schedule
