NBA 2K13 Roster Analysis 4/20/13

In today's roster update we received what are likely the final rating edits of the 2013 season.  The regular season ended with a whimper as the vast majority of teams were left predominately untouched the entire season.

Regardless, it's time for day one of the 1st round, one of my favorite days of the year! Four back to back games of NBA playoff basketball to ease the suffering 2K Sports has caused all year long.  My thoughts on this roster will come later, but for now it's time to glue myself to the TV.

Player Edits: 7
Missing Players: 20
Missing Coaches: 1 (Lindsey Hunter has been missing for 3 months)
Incorrect Lineups: 5 (76ers, Bulls, Bobcats, Rockets, Suns)
Inaccurate Injuries: 4 (The only thing 2K cares about and they still can't keep up)
