Final NBA 2K12 Official Roster Update Available Now

[jk31]

One Question: Do they call Metta World Peace with his new name, or do they call him Artest? In my game they still call him Artest,though his name is changed.

During Kellog's side stories he calls him as Metta World Peace aside from that, announcers still refer to him as Artest. To add, the PA announcers call him as Metta World Peace when he scores, fouls someone, etc.

Like Shaq said, "If his mamma named him Ron, I'm calling him Ron".

Kevin Harlan also refers to him as "Number 15" on occasion.

any words yet on roster updates? It's been over a week now..

[Andrew]

Nope. With the holiday season, I expect they're only just getting back into the swing of things. When an update is on the verge of being released, I'm sure Ronnie will post a note about it on his Twitter.

[jerkyjeck]

Ronnie hasn't even checked his Twitter account yet. They've made a new video but they haven't updated their roster.

[Andrew]

Different individuals but yeah, not quite the update everyone was hoping for, cool as the trailer is.

[jerkyjeck]

The reason why most of us are upset is because we all wanted to start our new Association, My Player and CAL with the new roster update. IMO... Then 2K goes "busy" over the holidays.

As per LD2K on Twitter: https://twitter.com/#!/LD2k

Hearing the next #NBA2K12 roster update should be coming Thursday or Friday. I'll try to poke around and grab some details for everyone.

Hope this one will be a good one...

[Andrew]

The rosters do have problems but even so, they're entitled to a break over the holidays like everyone else. That said, hopefully the new roster will be complete.

[anastasis16]

ninth roster update is available now

[Onisak]

I think that all the rookies are added...

[Wim.vl]

And what about new FA signings? Like Stiemsma, Terrel Harris, Ivan Johnson, Ryan Reid, ... ?

[POLISH_BOY]

No FA signings like Stiemsma, Ivan Johnson, Chris Johnson etc , only second rounders added BUT NOT ALL!!! No Isaiah Thomas ,M.Thompson (CLE) Charles Jenkins.
Newest trades are included , like Speights in Grizzlies or Solomon Jones in Clips .
I'm MAD AT 2k. Chris Johnson is in Portland for a second year now, and they still dont have him in. They have created Isaiah Thomas ( saw his CFs in custom rosters) but they didnt include him in the update! Its a joke , how 2k is treating us this year!

Missing Players:
Boston Celtics - E'Twaun Moore, Greg Stiemsma
New Jersey Nets - Dennis Horner
New York Knicks - Jerome Jordan,
Cleveland Cavaliers - Mychel Thompson
Detroit Pistons - Vernon Macklin
Indiana Pacers - Jeff Pendergraph
Atlanta Hawks - Ivan Johnson, Donald Sloan
Charlotte Bobcats - Cory Higgins
Miami Heat - Mickell Gladness, Terrel Harris
Orlando Magic - Larry Hughes, DeAndre Liggins
Denver Nuggets - Julyan Stone
Oklahama City Thunder - Ryan Reid
Portland Trailblazers - Chris Johnson
Utah Jazz - Jamaal Tinsley
Golden State Warriors - Chris Wright,Charles Jenkins
Sacramento Kings - Isaiah Thomas
Dallas Mavericks - Sean Williams
Memphis Grizzlies - Jeremy Pargo, Josh Davis,
New Orleans Hornets - Gustavo Ayon, Carldell Johnson, Lance Thomas

Thats the list created before the update by someone else, but Ive deleted players they have added ( Harrellson etc)
Not sure bout Sean Williams and Jeff Pendergraph though.
Whats strange they have added D.Hobson whom they had to create from scratch cause he wasnt in the game earlier. Dunno why Tinsley or Hughes arent in the game yet... They are Hobson like ( appeared in earlier games)

[Wim.vl]

Thanks for this. Hobson was already in the game (because as you can see, he has a portrait, so they must have had him in the game already).
And I agree on your opinion of 2k's treatement.

[Kieran]

I wouldn't go too hard at 2K just yet, didn't someone mention the guarenteed contract date earlier? For fringe players they may just be waiting for that date because a few players might not make the cut.

That's the reason Ronnie's given. It seems a little sketchy, especially given what EA was able to do with their dynamic DNA updates in recent years, but that's the explanation we've received.

[Dual]

Jeremy Pargo has 2 guaranteed years and he is with Memphis since the begining of the season... also is 6th in nba's rookie lader:

I just hope with this roster as base the patchers will fill the empty spots that 2k didnt fill up.

[Andrew]

Yeah, it's puzzling. Perhaps there's more to the story but it's difficult to say without 2K going into a bit more detail in explaining the situation.

[karposter]

thay maybe thoght that Jeremy is janhro (the other pargo brother)

[Onisak]

I don't know, but I am quite scatisfied with the latest update, I didn't have to high expectations, they added quite a few rookies...

@Andrew,

Traveling in a fried-out combie
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said,

"Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six foot four and full of muscles
I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
And he said,

"I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Lying in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of plenty?"
And he said,

"Oh! Do you come from a land down under? (oh yeah yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

They need to release the PC Patch how to hit up Ronnie 2k

The easiest way would be to Tweet him (@Ronnie2K).
