POSTED December 12, 2011
2K Sports released their first update for NBA 2K12. This update includes removal of Brandon Roy (retirement) and the players in China, Shane Battier to the Heat, Caron Butler to the Clippers, Tyson Chandler and Mike Bibby to the Knicks, and Tracy McGrady to the Hawks. Ron Artest has his name changed to Metta World Peace ( commentators still refer to him as Artest ). Missing a significant number of moves : Lamar Odom remains on the Lakers, Gilbert Arenas on the Magic, and David West on the Hornets. Jimmer Fredette, Kemba Walker, and many of the rookies were not added (only four rookies are included in this update).
