So that totals 38 players in which are missing and will need to be added in future roster updates.

19 of them are 2nd round rookies who are already on the disc, the rest are either players who played in the NBA previously (Hughes,C.Johnson,Pendergraph,Tinsley) or undrafted rookies (Stone,M.Thompson etc.) all if which should be the first priority before anything else.

I know it takes time to rate each player, but in the same breath a consistent argument could be made, that the two most important features in an NBA game are Gameplay and accurate team representation (Player cyber faces correct,Rosters accurate as of real NBA, Accessory updates). I feel like 2K has done a much better job than in years past and hopefully with my continued efforts to update a list of changes, the team will be able to utilize those changes and in fact deliver a near flawless roster by the end of next week.
