U R B - WHERE SIM HAPPENS ! 2023 Roster Preview! 11TH November

[skoadam]

Yes, this cpu is killing your specs. You cant do nothing with this. Few months ago i changed my cpu in my laptop, so maybe you should try to look inside, maybe its possible for you also. This kind of solution is very cheap.
About your crash to the desktop, you should read last posts, there is a problem with lebron cf, i will release fix today. For now enjoy quick game mode.

Che, Shaq didn't play that many minutes because the Lakers had a double-digit advantage all game. I didn't check foul trouble but I know Shaq sat several times because of the lead.

Here are the game 2 stats (notice the difference in 3pt shots). The Lakers steamrolled the Rockets in this one so the starters didn't play much. Notice that Shaq and Kobe were still getting the most shot attempts.

[skoadam]

che, shaq with 15p in 21min, with 11fga, its all good man. You are trying to find problem where is no problem or the problem is really tiny. Still i have np with Shaq using current formula.

Sko, I found an error. When I play detroit pistons either 2002 or 2003, my pc exits. I noticed that this only happens for these years but I'm ok with 2004 and onwards. I'm not sure if it's just me but it continues to happen Thanks.

[skoadam]

I_am_JD, season or quick game, both, when it quits? infos!

Game 3, in Houston







I didn't have any time to watch this one, so I can't provide any clarification.

[skoadam]

Part 6 is ready to re-download, it fixes crashes in season/asso mode.

[jtrotterj]

Since I was able to play the game without any problem now I would like to customize the URB2015 roster, basically I just want weaker teams to be stronger like putting core players from previous seasons like Hamilton, Billups, Prince from DET2004. My problem now is I can only create max 3 players using "Create Player" from 2k13 after that i will crash and there's no other way to add additional players. Do you have any suggestion or tools guys where I can create more players for this little project of mine

something BIG is comming soon.

Can you give us some spolier about, when and what is that BIG Update of yours? I hope you'll release a master roster where all championship/contender teams from all season are all in one roster like the 2K13 Default Roster. I badly want that so I can play against them in quick games too or put them in any team I want

[skoadam]

jtrotterj, yes ofc if you want to work on editing i can help you to understand this. Open 2015roster, go to player id 900, should be Lauvergne Joffrey, after him you should see 3 players you already created, all you have to do to unlock possibility of adding new players is changing slottype from 2 into 1. Remember that, if you already added 3 players and probably when you started with 4th player game crashes, you can cause problems with overwriting names....randomly. So what i strongly recommended is to start one more time with fresh 2015roster, but before you start creating new players make more slotstype from 2 into 1 and always keep one free slot, because if not, roster file can messed up. Hope its clear.

Added playoff schedule to the URB2015PlayoffSchedule, so please re-download URB V32.zip.

I can't see the players that I created after Lauvergne their Player ID was 3359 3360 3361 and I can't even search them in RedMC. I've edited the SlotType for ID_900 to ID_910 from 2 to 1 and still crashes when I clicked the "Create Player" for 4rth player

BTW I'm using 2K13 "Create Player" in Managed Roster to add them... Can I add new players directly from RedMC?

Your stats look good to me.
Sko I had a problem Shaq's involvement in a 7 mpq game (and his FGA in a 14 game season) not with slimm's simulated 12mpq games. I concede this is not a big problem (if it even exists in longer games) but it takes away from Shaq's fear-factor when he's featured less prominently.


I played the first 2 games of a playoff series with the Mavs against the Lakers (full 48 min. games), Lakers have home court.

Game 1




Notes
- I like those stats

- Laker offense could've been better but I defended very well and it was only All-Star (teams usually torch me on higher levels).

- they could've gone to Kobe more and Shaq only really started posting up in the 2nd half but Walker made him miss lots of shots as O'Neal didn't pull many moves. I played him straight man-to-man mostly, with occasional double teams.

- only in the 4th did it "feel" like Shaq & Kobe's team, before that the Lakers seemed more like an ensemble cast with everybody getting their shine.

- Kobe fouled out on a charge with 1 min. remaining in the 4th

- they sat Shaq almost the entire 2nd quarter without him being in foul trouble and I torched them. In that quarter they played like 5-6 min. with mostly bench players (no Shaq, Kobe) and didn't have any ideas offensively, that wasn't much fun and really hurt LA but I guess there's no way to have the CPU stagger superstar minutes.

Notes on the Mavs

- insanely fun to play with, especially if you manage to concentrate defensively.

- are you sure about playing Dirk at C, rather than Walker? Shaq is gonna guard him and that's not a good matchup for Shaq, but then neither is Walker who could just camp out at the 3pt line. Not sure that the CPU guarding Dirk with Centers is a good idea. Defensively it's pick your poison anyway with Dirk, he either has to guard Shaq or the likes of Duncan/Garnett/Webber when CPU-controlled (foul trouble danger).

- man, Finely was left open a ton...

- Walker was somehow a very good post defender for me(doubt that it reflects real life)

Game 2




Notes

- I started Dirk at PF and Walker at C for this game

- close game until the 4th quarter, where I played terrible basketball throughout. Final 2:30 min. were garbage time (starters sitting).

- Lakers came out like a team on a mission, absolutely dominating me inside, only shot-making kept me in the game. Once I started missing threes in the 2nd half, they pulled away.

- Kobe started the game firing and kept on hijacking possessions to drop dribble pull-ups on me (can't defend that yet).

- I can count the post-up opportunities for Shaq on one hand, he scored on putbacks mostly. When he got the ball he busted out some nice moves consistently and got by Walker instead of just taking close shots with Walker in front of him like in game 1.

- LAL staggered their superstars' minutes much better and I wasn't able to make a run.

- Dirk is unstoppable taking step-backs from a post position, I don't know if that was true for his 2004 self.

- I hate Karl Malone


Conclusion so far
Shaq's involvement seems to fluctuate on a game-to-game basis, some games he's a post threat and some games he's not featured much. He's always a threat on the offensive boards and on lobs, though. I'd like for him to get a little bit more post touches but this is not a big issue.


edit: Do the pictures load for you? Also how do I get spoilers to work? I didn't mean to spam the thread with pics.

[skoadam]

First thing, slimms games wasnt simulated, it was cpu vs cpu.
edit: no pics for me, will read whole post later

No Idea why I wrote that, lol.
I removed the spoiler tags, it appears you had click on the pics to see them, now they should just show up.

[I_am_JD]

Sko, it quits when I'm using the pistons in their homecourt so there must be something wrong with the court since it crashes on both years but it works fine in 2004.

[skoadam]

I_am_JD, you are talking about quick game also?

edit: just checked, works for me but i also checked file, its the same court for 2002,2003 and 2004.

[jtrotterj]

jtrotterj, yes ofc if you want to work on editing i can help you to understand this.

I followed the instructions but I don't think I get it right. It's still crashing when I tried creating 4th player

player id is first column- non editable

Seems like the 3359 that I mentioned was ASA_ID and not Player_ID, why did the players I created 1st and last name were still ************** ?

[skoadam]

Im patient teacher. Did you re-load roster in redmc after creating players in game?

Che, Shaq didn't play that many minutes because the Lakers had a double-digit advantage all game. I didn't check foul trouble but I know Shaq sat several times because of the lead.

I suspected that at first but it looked weird to me, that LA's other starters played their usual minute total. I've never seen the CPU resting just a specific player because of a big lead before (maybe just wasn't paying attention).


Game 3 of Lakers vs Mavs, this time in Dallas.





Notes

- Awesome game which went into OT. I choked badly in the final minute. Shaq tied the game on a driving dunk as he easily went around Bradley on a high post isolation play with ca. 15s left. Then Dirk missed a potential game winnder as I took a bad contested shot. In my Wolves season Yao did the same thing to me that Shaq did here (driving dunk on high post iso in crunch time).

- The Lakers finally realized that the big dude in the middle is a good player. They posted him up almost every possession of the first quarter and he delivered, scoring on single coverage and hitting open shooters when doubled. After that they spread the ball around more but Kobe never really got his shine.

- La threw a minimum of 3-4 very difficult lob passes to shaq that got tipped, ended in a contested miss or KO'd someone in the crowd.

- Most of Payton's shot came off kick outs from Shaq but he also jacked some head scratchers that certainly earned him credit with Iverson and Westbrook.

- Look at O'Neal's ORBs, he was eating me alive, it wasn't fair, I'm gonna now.

- Kobe pulled a legit Dream Shake on Finley, sending him flying the wrong way and making an easy layup.

- The first two games I just did what auto-playcalling dictated offensively but here I made an effort to run my offense through Nash and Nowitzki, which worked well.

- Finley takes a lot of his shots when Nash & Dirk are off the floor and he's leading the second unit.

- 2004 Dirk Nowitzki is really bad at passing a basketball.

- I hate third quarters

[slimm44]

Che...looks good to me, man. Shaq took 52 shots in 3 games, 108 minutes. With right at 36 minutes per game, he is averaging 14 shots per 36. I'm not sure about FT's, but IMO the FT's are always too low. I'm not sure how to fix that.

[skoadam]

around 20 or more FT for any 2k basketball game is really good result, i have always around 25-30, but im taking risk and trying to reach for ball. Later i will post my screens with my game against 04 Lakers, i dont how to stop them and why this team lost against Pistons back in 2004.

[retrofan]

Im reading this conversation between you guys and i dont understand whats wrong with Shaq. Minutes ago i finished Lakers vs Dallas, just to be sure. Shaq took 18FGA, many outside passes, its all good+ i like the difference in earlier seasons, Shaq is dominator before 2003/2004. After +100 games i never saw any inaccurate stat.
One more time thx guys, BIG difference between other retro mods, where Smush Parker can score 40points next to Kobe Bryant.

[SirJack]

Took a little break from NBA2K13 but enjoying the game with V32 again....thx again for keeping this game alive with all your updates!

[jtrotterj]

Im patient teacher. Did you re-load roster in redmc after creating players in game?

Thanks for the help @skoadam was able to create more players now, didn't noticed that the roster I edited was saved from different folder (Sandboxie) that's why I wasn't able to see the changes when I loaded the roster previously.

[skoadam]

retrofan, welcome to the sim nation
SirJack, hope it wasnt 2k14
jtrotterj,
