Still 11 missing players...simply amazing. Gelabale plays just about as many minutes lately as guys like Vince Carter and Darren Collison.
"Basketball simulation" my a**...

I think the reason why the timberwolves players are not there is because there is probably some code that limits teams to 15 players. They should take some players that are gone for the season and release them into free agency, or change the code. But they are just leaving us with no explanation. They could even get by just putting those missing players into the FA pool. No reason for twolves to be so incompete this far into the season. That's my only issue as of now. All those other guys barely even play but it would still be nice to have a complete roster. Never mind the ratings, I would rather have all the players. Even the ones signed overseas for my association.

I find myself in such a pickle with the 2k updates. I know there are custom roster files available (on 2k share and online), and I've tried several and generally like them, especially if they have the playbooks edited correctly. However, it seems like every time I get settled on a roster I like, new shoes become available, or a couple of transactions will happen, and my roster is already out of date. For me, it's worth dealing with some generic shoes and a few roster errors (or oversights) to not have to constantly be looking for roster updates on this site and others. Most of the missing players can be easily found on 2k share, and it doesn't take very long to add them to the appropriate teams.

I am also somewhat cool with the injuries being constantly updated via 2k. Some people hate that but I think it's cool. Sometimes I'll see on ESPN where a player I like has just come back, and I can't wait to get on 2k and get the guy some run.

Derrick, I'm waiting.............

I might be in the minority here, but I like the official roster updates. As a matter of fact, I liked it better a few years ago when 2k said they were going to decrease the overall ratings across the board. They have to some extent kept that idea alive and there is a clear difference from your average player to star to allstar to superstar. I still believe that since the overalls mean totally nothing in this game, that 2k should seriously consider getting rid of the overall aspect of the rating board and just go with the individual skill ratings. This will not only decrease all the "so and so should be 92 not 89" or "how can he be rated higher than him" drama, but it will also allow gamers to see and utilize the player for who he is and what he can do on the court, not how he compares anybody else. And if an individual skill is totally off from the way they play in real life then you have a valid argument. Not just because his overall is not where you think it should be. I've been saying this for 3 years.
