[Tool] Roster Editor

[Jellyfish]

Thank you for this great tool.....

I'm pretty new to the game, and very new to the modding scene with this game, so this may all be moot as someone has perhaps already done it?

However, I have gotten tired of the unrealistic stats in My Career mode(probably in other modes as well, don't play them so IDK) for the simulated games. Over 20 teams average 100+/game, and FG percentages are way too high etc. etc. The Cheat Engine has obviously helped with getting the in-game realism and stats to real NBA levels, but it really bugs me that the simulated stats for CPU controlled teams are so much off.
After some quick fiddling with your Roster Editor, thanks to your great copy-paste system, I lowered Inside Shots, Close Shots, Mid Shots, 3P Shots, Layup and Dunking for all players by 5-10, and checked if it made any difference. I just made an excel table that did most of the work for me, and it was pretty quick. It did make a difference, and it was pretty easy to get the various stats to be realistic.

I am a semi-competent programmer, so the thing I'm asking the community is this: Would you be interested in an app that would do this for you for your roster/save. Because players will obviously develop in the game, new rookies will come in etc. etc., the save game requires some maintenance along the way, and this is where my app would come in. The app would make sure that the league would keep a realistic balance between the different attributes even after players have developed and new rookies have entered the league that obviously will have attributes that 2K intended them to have, and they would obviously be too high compared to the other players in the league. All you would have to do is "Select All" and "Copy" in Leftos app, Paste the data into my app, that would then adjust the attributes and make a new copy to the clipboard that you would then paste onto Leftos app.

I'm going to do this app for me anyway, but was just wondering if there are others who are tired of the unrealistic stats in simulated games.... And if this has already been done, then forget what I said.....

This would obviously affect gameplay, because players attributes would be slightly lower, so you'd probably have to bump up your shooting sliders with Cheat Engine to find what works for you. Also, because I haven't done this yet, I don't know how this will affect AI trade logic etc. as every players ratings will be slightly lower. I hope they don't affect it to the point it gets unplayable....

So, let me know if you'd be interested in this app, and if you have any suggestions, let me know.....

[Leftos]

Jellyfish, really interested in the concept. Let me know if you need any help with the coding.

Leftos for some reason, I can't copy and paste from your editor, Am I missing something? Can you help on this?

Thanks

He is attempting the copy/paste stuff properly, I've been poorly helping him through email. It just doesn't want to work. No idea what info you need though

[DukeW74]

I am sure you have already tried control+C and control+V. I ask because I rarely see the popup menu for copy\paste for unknown reasons on my PC.

I updated to the latest Roster Editor and I made a few edits and when I load up the roster file in the game it crashes and sends me to the desktop. I have done this to all of my roster files just to see a pattern and I noticed even if I do a small thing like change a position or add the custom shoe color option for a player it still causes the game to crash, I'm not sure if its rehashing correctly or not. I had no problems before with the Roster Editor 12.0.2 so I'm wondering if its a problem on my part that I'm not aware of or anything. I just wanted to know if this is happening to anyone else.

[basketball110]

We finally figured it out

Thanks Duke W74

Ok Leftos, i want to be sure is it global problem and not just me.
I want to add some players(hidden one) so i put their values in free agents roster, load roster in game and crash. So for now its immposible to add hidden players into free agent pool?

[JaoSming]

did you update the plnum for the free agends? the playertype for the specific players?

[skoadam]

i dont know why, but it works now. Strange.
One more, how to add stats to a player. Is it possible by this editor, cos when i add some missing players they are without career stats.

[Leftos]

Not possible.

[skoadam]

Not possible.

Maybe u know how to do this?

Another, sry for that series.
When i add some hidden to FA, they all miss contract setup. Is it normal or i screwed smth?

[cpicyl]

[skoadam]

One more, is there any list of shoes numbers for Leftos Editor?

I noticed that unhidden players don't get a season stat-line in their career stats and don't show up in Player/Metric Stats, but I have no idea how to fix that.

[DukeW74]

It would probably be better to use create a player and leave them hidden in that case, I would think you could still copy most\all info over after you have created the player.

[Leftos]

Yeah, but there's a limit of 10, isn't there?

[RowdyRondo]

Leftos,

any news on season mode compatibility

[DukeW74]

Leftos I thought the "10" limit is on teams but to be honest I have never built over 4 or 5 players in any roster so you may be right. If I can get some time tonight to do some testing we will know.

I already have 20+ created players in my roster. I think the limit would be 150 created players coz each created team has a limit of 15 players each right?

[DukeW74]

After a bit of checking I made 50 players and got tired of it, from checking Roster Editor there are over 400 slots, mixed between CAP's and CAT's but it seems to really not matter so a guess is we can create an easy 200 players and probably more.

Edit: That is until REDitor and hopefully we will be able to clone again:)

Is there a way to edit/remove hot spots for your player in "My Career"? It is by far the most stupid feature of this game, to have hot spots when you're controlling just one player. It's so annoying when using "timing release" to drain bad shots from a certain area, and miss 99,99999999999999999999999999% of your wide open perfect timing shots from other areas. Isn't the fucking idea of "My Career" to simulate what it's like to be a player in the NBA, so shouldn't "heat/coldness" be determined by how well you time your shots and not on some arbitrary constantly changing zones. Also when lowering the shooting percentages with Cheat Engine, it seems like it's virtually impossible to hit a shot from a cold zone, when I have user mid-range and 3pt at 43. In general the shooting logic is crap in this game, as it seems like you can't find a shooting value where the CPU misses some of it open shots, but also makes some of it's contested shots.

/rant

EDIT: just missed 5 straight completely open shots from a mid-range cold spot, all of them had perfect timing, my player has mid range and 3p both over 94. Smashed my gamepad against the floor, then kicked it against the wall, ripped the right stick so it broke, then tried to cut the chord by pulling it, didn't have the strength so went to the kitchen and cut the chord with scissors and also stabbed the gamepad multiple times . Then went online to see which gaming stores are open for the weekend so I can go buy myself a new gamepad. ... And yes, I am an adult.....

Is it possible to copy a player from one rosters to other? Or at least his attributes, signatures, etc. ? How?
