Due to the NBA lockout which could extend well into the regular season, Kotaku has reported that NBA 2K12 will have no updated roster.
This means NBA 2K12 will have the exact same roster as NBA 2K11. There will be no new rookies added to the game nor will there be any roster changes to any of the teams. Even the NBA All Star teams will be exactly the same.

2K Sports seems to have pulled the plug on its old online servers. Users playing All-Pro Football 2K8, NHL 2K10, College Hoops 2K8 and the year-old NBA 2K12 multiplayer have noticed a lack of online support across the last three weeks.
... pulling the online MP from a game that's only a year old.
The box says it has an online MP mode, and I'm sure people are still playing 2k12 online (probably many people who aren't enthusiastic about the whole Jay-Z layer they vomitted over the game), so they should keep supporting the online MP mode for years to come.
That is real cheap on the part of 2K sports..I'm sure many people enjoyed playing 2K12 online and it just came out last year...
Why is this not illegal? When are games going to be treated seriously by the law? If this happened with anything else, people would be up in arms wanting blood.
I think the only fair thing to do is that when people buy these games, included in the sticker price is a bond. After the servers shut down, 2K (in this case) have to pay them the bond back, whether it be bank deposit or game credits.
I think next-gen developers are going to be doing this to many more games. It basically forces you to buy the newer one. Why people still buy these games is outstanding. Have they no freaking morals?
ummmm why is this a surprise? most sports games never change. I did buy 2k11 because I'm a basketball fan. I just wait till they're twenty bucks then buy them.
im still playing nba courtside 2002
The reason to buy the new 2k12 is NOT the current teams. It's really the further inclusion of the classic teams and players. For long time basketball fans, this is a dream come true. Plus it's already been reported by VC that if and when the season starts, that the rosters will automatically update to include rookies. It's a win-win if you are a fan of the game and the sport.
The people who buy these games are usually fans of the sport and probably only buy these type of games. So I don't think anyone would really mind if the game have the same roster.
