This is a huge sigh of relief for fans of NBA 2K12, as they had to live with the "old" roster beforehand. Granted, players were updated to their current teams (before the lockout), so that there were no odd placements or anything like that, but no real addition of "fresh blood", if you will. With the rookie announcement, 2K is now free and clear to include these guys, letting you put them to the test against pros such as Kobe Bryant and a number of other legends within the game.
So breathe easy, guys. You're getting your rookies. And we're just getting started with our NBA 2K12 updates this week, as we'll also discuss the new Legends Showcase DLC that's coming this week, along with a review of the iPad edition. Stay tuned. And welcome back, NBA!
