It looks like injuries were the sole focus of the latest NBA 2K13 roster update. Richard Hamilton, Eric Gordon, Amare Stoudemire, Steve Nash, Dirk Nowitzki and Lance Stephenson were the obvious players that make their return, along with a handful of other players.

Devin Harris, Anthony Morrow, Mo Williams, Tyreke Evans, Marcus Thornton, Raymond Felton have all landed on the injured list, with a few other lower rated players.

There were no ratings adjustments, as far as I can tell and the Nets still have coach Avery Johnson.

UPDATE: Lance Stephenson (+5 to 64 OVR) had a rating adjustment. 3pt rating = 75 (+47). (via @Real2KInsider)

2K has been historically bad with their updates this year. Considering how much the gameplay/ratings/tendencies need to be tweaked before the game is even playable, I am starting to lose faith in the series. I hope they are serious about winning back jaded fans with subsequent updates and next year's release.

This game is fantastic with the HyperBaller/DCAllAmerican NBA 2k13 Comprehensive Roster Update though. I highly recommend it for anyone who was dissatisfied with the game and rosters out of the box.

2k has had a history of bad roster updates. But this is by far the worst I've seen from them since 2k8. That year I think we got 4 updates for the whole year. After that I think the Insider was created. We had a nice steady flow of roster updates (At least once a month during the season). But this year is by far the worst I've seen since the 2k Insider was brought in.

But why they decide to put the inj again in the game ????
They took inj out last year and I was so happy...

Congrats 2k. Took you weeks to do what all us can do in 5 minutes to the rosters.

Eveyrone at 2K I would stash your money because if you ever leave your job at 2k sports I doubt you would even be qualified or could handle a job at Walmart.

Problems:

Avery Johnson STILL the Coach for Nets
James Anderson NOT on Rockets
Shaun Livingston NOT on Cavs
Claver & Freeland inaccurately on IR for Blazers
Austin Daye inaccurately on IR for Pistons
