First of all, who is standing behind this huge and amazing update? ITS SLIMM44, he's back ONLY for this project, so please do not spam his PM box. If some of you dont know this guy...shame on you. Next surprise, 2015 roster is fully updated together with 1993 roster. All edit work was made by slimm44, i was testing platform + hope i help him with advice. I never saw this kind of roster in 2k modding history, i know it sounds bad when modder use this kind of sentence, but believe me, lvl of editing is so amazing deep.

Downloading now

[Datisraeliguy]

Downloading, gonna tell you how it is (probably amazing) after i'll play

[Datisraeliguy]

The gameplay is good, but a bit too much frustraiting, as if the cpu missed 4 shots in a row, got every rebound, and in the fifth time, scored a 3pt...

Also, may i ask why is rose rated 78??? Even though he just came back from an injury,It's a little low, isn't it?

[skoadam]

First of all play full game(4x12min right?). Should i start posting screens with stats? Finish one game, make a screen from stats and compare everything step by step ( fg%, fga, 3pt%, ft%, ass, rebound, block, steals, etc ) with real stats here http://www.basketball-reference.com/lea ... _2014.html
Overalls means nothing. Dont believe me? simulate season and check Rose stats. If Rose will be better next season i will make update of him, his 78 overalls is based on 13/14 season. Remember guys its sim, not arcade mode, no wishful ratings, almost all based on real stats, if u dont like it i strongly recommend Albys roster

[Datisraeliguy]

Again, the gameplay is so realistic it makes me think i'm watching a real game (except for the graphics, but you have nothing to do with that), so i guess you are right in terms of the realism, and probably with the rating, and everything else..
So i would try a little bit more games (i do play 4x12), maybe when i'm not tired though...

P.s. You gave derrick rose a new cyberface, so THANK YOU, i couldn't find anyone else on the internet, and finally, you have done it!
P.s 2. i saw that joel embiid's profile face in the roster section has only half a face, it's really not important to me, but i though you'd like to know that

[ManArgNBA]

Hey Sko, Awesome Update!! I only have one thing to complain, It's about rotations. I think you know about Paul George's Injury, but you left him with full minutes and as a game starter, like if he was not injured. I don't know if you just forget about that or you are going to update injuries when season get started. Except for that, Great job, dude!!

[slimm44]

I hope you guys enjoy it. It actually came together faster than I thought but there are a lot more plays I want to test so playbooks will be more diverse. In time, Skoadam and I have some pretty big plans for his project. I went pretty hard editing these two rosters and played my first game today, 1993 Sonics (me) vs. Suns. It was easily the most fun I've ever had playing a basketball game. Some things will need to be tweaked here and there so remember, these are the new bases. If you find anything crazy wrong with gameplay, please let Skoadam know because he is making a laundry list of things for me to do when I come back to editing in a few weeks.

The main things that is going to lower ratings more than you guys are accustomed to are:

- Lowered verticals - I calculate vertical ratings based off of the jump x 2 so a guy with a 35 inch vertical will have a 70. Most players in the NBA have between a 30 and 35 inch leap (check here http://www.draftexpress.com/nba-pre-draft-measurements/?page=&year=All&source=All&sort2=DESC&draft=0&pos=0&sort=12 and look at the max vert column). Most PG's have lower than a 70 because most can't jump out of the gym off a vert. Don't worry, they'll still dunk on you in-game. The lower verticals help reduce the amount of rebounds PG's get when they have higher vertical ratings than big men.

- Lowered Offensive and Defensive Awareness - To calculate these, I add Offensive Rating to Offensive Win Shares and I subtract Defensive Win Shares from Defensive Rating. Most of the players who you think of as being really high in these categories aren't when you go by these stats. Don't worry, the great offensive and defensive players will still be a pain to play against.

Happy gaming

[Datisraeliguy]

Sko, wanted to say that after a few games getting used to the roster, the game is amazing!
I've had only 3 games finished with over a hundred points to one of the teams, and that was quick game!
And slim, wanted to say that even though i don't really know who you are and it's probably i'm into modding for about half a year, i really think you made an amazing roster alongside sko, so thanks

[skoadam]

Silent update with new Cavs court for new season made by my man utp1985, great quality and details




All you have to do is re-download part6 for 2015 and URB V22.

[Old friend]

NBA 2K13 is great with this mod! Thx guys!!

[masconti1954]

Great work
The logo of Atlanta (Roster 2015) is a simple ATL and not the true logo
IMO too many "and one"

[MrBallistic]

Thanks for this release. This is amazing. I was surprised by the new Atlanta logo, I'm a big fan of the bird holding basketballs.

[skoadam]

Great work
The logo of Atlanta (Roster 2015) is a simple ATL and not the true logo
IMO too many "and one"

I dont understand. You mean you cant see pacman logo or u mean that Hawks logo should be different.
What u mean by saying too many and ones? Too many fouls or ft% is high?

[masconti1954]

I mean I don't see the packman logo in the scoreboard
I think there are too many useless shooting fouls

[MadbaLL]

there is pacman logo on the scoreboard, but old pacman, not current one.

i don't agree on fouls, everything seems ok to me (although i only played few games).

btw, in order to make this new gameplay to work, do we need to use custom sliders/settings file for each separate roster? if that's the case, i don't like it that way because i use one settings file with sliders for all rosters.


p.s. there is updated version of new cavs court by utp (info from alybs thread). current version is inaccurate.

[skoadam]

Can some1 post difference between new and old pacman.
I need information about overall number of fouls and % or number of shooting fouls.
In the future there will be maximum 3 settings/sliders file. 90 era and nowadays is way different in many aspects of basketball, u guys must understand this, this is sim mode right?

P.s 2. i saw that joel embiid's profile face in the roster section has only half a face, it's really not important to me, but i though you'd like to know that

i dont understand this problem? cfs looks fine for me, portrait also so?

Hey Sko, Awesome Update!! I only have one thing to complain, It's about rotations. I think you know about Paul George's Injury, but you left him with full minutes and as a game starter, like if he was not injured. I don't know if you just forget about that or you are going to update injuries when season get started. Except for that, Great job, dude!!

I know about George injury but this is only non injured version, so all teams are full healthy rotations.

p.s. there is updated version of new cavs court by utp (info from alybs thread). current version is inaccurate.

part 6 with updated version of updated version Cavs court is ready to re-download

I mean I don't see the packman logo in the scoreboard
I think there are too many useless shooting fouls

if so it means u are not using my retro rosters, in retro packs u can find all logos but i will add old hawk logo to 2015 zip packs. Im waiting for clearing Hawks logo aspect also.
Useless fouls, hmm i still dont understand. If there is some contact when shooting there must be some fouls also. 2k13 need more ft to be more realistic, if we lower some things there will be 8-10 FT per game, we need lot more.

[skoadam]

double

[MadbaLL]

new pacman on the left, old pacman on the right.

btw, what is the outcome of playing, let's say, this new gameplay mods with default 2k simulation setting sliders?

[skoadam]

btw, what is the outcome of playing, let's say, this new gameplay mods with default 2k simulation setting sliders?

thx for logos, will see what i can do.
Please dont tell me ure using default 2k sliders. IMO default sliders ruins literally everything no matter what roster u will use. In many cases it can be details, in others difference will be huge and for sure non realistic.

[MadbaLL]

yes, i'm using default 2k SIMULATION slider settings, why? in the future, there should be only 3 settings/sliders files only = one for 80s, one for 90s and oen for all 2000s (including nowdays).

sko, you must know one thing - if you don't use "unlock all" settings file by jaosming i told you about several months ago, then you don't get all alternate jerseys unlocked.

that's why i use that settings file. it's something really important.
