Great Vid Suirad! It would be a dream come true to see it come to fruition, and all the people you named come together and not only convert UBR and URB together, but take it to another level! Kind of makes me wish there was another lockout season brewing lol. I'm like you, I play all the mods (WNBA, College, Euroleague, FIFA, PBA, Retro's). My dream is that the great modders on this forum will come together like they're doing with College Hoops this year and give the same type of collaboration for retro mods. College Hoops is looking like it will be the best to date, and I personally can't wait to see the finish product! Imagine if the same togetherness and unity was provided in transferring the UBR and URB together to 2k14, what a marvelous thing it would be for all retro basketball lovers!! If the majority of great patchers worked in unison to create a few great projects, instead of everybody doing there own thing, and essentially competing with each other over this and that, the mods that could come out of this forum would be absolutely historic. I never understood why there are over 100 Lebron and Kobe cf's for 2k13 when the talent and the time it took could have gone to a much greater and unified project or projects. Just my thoughts. As I said great video, it reestablished hope that the UBR, and the greatness of it, isn't going to be confined to 2k12. I know it is still a long shot dream, but at least the dream is still alive. I believe that if Hawk and everyone came around Sko would be down with a collab. He's always struck me as the type of person that just wants the best finished product, with ego set aside. In the mean time, much love Sko for keeping the retro dream alive for now.

Sko posted this earlier in this thread:

MadbaLL, well i will start with 1992/93, later 1997/98, later it can be 1984/85 or 1987/88, later something from 2000' - ofc this is my plans, everything can be changed
agolden, above
DMavs, thx i will look into jao stuff, and yes im little excited 2

Most important info of the day, 1992/93 is in slimms hands right now, it take some time for sure, but i think retro roster finally deserve to be edited to the maximum.
Later i will post some more screens, many new HD stuff will be added.

i hope you reconsider after all. when we spoke about this when 2k14 got released, you said that you will first convert all 90's and early 2000s rosters (1990 - 2002 era, the ones you already have in 2k13), then others.

i would definitely not want to see any '80s roster out before all '90 and early 2000s are done

MadbaLL, u dont know my plan(idea) of creating, i dont want to post about this here, maybe later.

Nice, if you need a video trailer i can do a nice one

Wilt Chamberlain, i need trailer in 2k13 so bad, 2k14 is still to early, but i will ask for your help later for sure. If your post is urb target

Thank You Jesus Lol He should just convert 1993 on to about 2005 or 2010 then do the 80's

And Finish Doing 1997 & 1999 & 2001 , 2003 & 2004 This Would Be Epic For NBA 2k14

1990-2010 Before The 80's Please

alleniverson333, once again guys really chill out, if health and generally my future will not fucked up all rosters will be made. Understand one thing. When i create 93 roster there is no huge need to make next 94,95,96 same with 98. I will start with every decade first and u will not convince me to do it different way. U dont know details but believe me i know what im doin. Remember about one important issue we meet in 2k14, we dont have draft classes, because those from 2k13 will not work. So u guys should focus on sending tons of pm's to nbatak with beggin for his full return in 2k14.

now this is more like it

default ones looked awful. i also re-did the home unis

give me! i need to add them into 2k13

@sko, when you are about to make v1 of URB 2k14, please use latest 2k sports roster and online data for current season roster that will be available in time you make it.

Madball stop hatin on 80's ball man, you must not of been around because if you was you would know the best ball was played in the 80's.Me im all for the 80's but im just glad that sko is converting to 14 so i will take what i get when i get it. Not to be starting something but we all may have a generation that we prefer over another but that shouldnt make one's generation more important over another's, there may be a day when we all get our wish but until then let sko do his thing the way he wants to.

i'm not hating it... but you saying the best basketball were the 80s is silly.

but let's not turn this into decade "war", shall we?

Actually it's not silly . I'm not tryna add fuel to the fire, but the 80's probably was the best decade. The 80's were responsible for bringing the NBA the popularity it inevitably received in years to come. If not for the 80's and the superstars and competition of the time the NBA most likely wouldn't be what it is now, or anywhere close. Plus Jordan dominated the 90's, the 80's had Jordan, Magic, Bird, Isaiah and the Bad Boy Pistons, The twin towers in Houston (Olajuwon and Sampson), I could go on and on. The 80's were filled with so much talent, a lot of guys who averaged 30 ppg per season are all but forgotten. Guys like Bernard King, Alex English, Adrian Dantley, Dale Ellis, Kiki Vandeweghe, Dominique Wilkins, Mark Aguirre, Purvis Short. Guys that unless you watched basketball in the 80's, or are a basketball aficionado you don't know about. I was watching hardwood classics on NBA tv when Bernard King dropped 60 on the Nets, and ended up recording it for my son because he had no idea who Bernard King was. I had mention his name to him months ago and he was clueless to whom I was talking about. Not to mention guys like Michael Ray Richardson, Rolando Blackman, Terry Cummings, Sidney Moncrief, Alvin Robertson, Walter Davis, Orlando Woolridge, Tom Chambers, Gus Williams, Jack Sikma, Buck Williams when he played for the Nets, Dr. J, Moses Malone, Artis Gilmore, George Gervin, James Worthy, Kevin McHale, etc... Plus most of the superstars of the 90's started to come of age while they were playing in the 80's. Even goliaths like Mark Eaton and Manute Bol. When was the last time someone avg. 4.5 or 5 blocks a game? Not in the 90's or since. So my point is, if you never watched 80's basketball how can you even begin to debate which decade was better all around basketball? Yeah everybody remember the 90's cause that was Jordan's era. And not only on the court, but with the shoes and the endorsements, like the commercial says, everyone wants to be like Mike. The 90's is when the era of "player branding" took off, so the stars were in the limelight more off the court. But as far as basketball goes the 80's were filled with more talent, like I said the majority of the superstars in the 90's played in the 80's!! Now everyone has a right to there own opinion, but I strongly believe you shouldn't make statements on things you don't know about, and as someone who admitted they didn't start watching basketball until the 90's how do you even feel you're in a position to argue with someone who watched both decades or even further back than that? Sorry for going on and on, this kind of got away from me. It wasn't suppose to be all this, I just had a point to make. Now back to your regularly scheduled program

Ah, 80s.

NBA and music.

The 80's were filled with so much talent

Thank you for your message! As a guy, born in early 90s, i had known barely a half of the players, you mentioned. Now gonna read some info on Wiki and maybe watch several games.
Always good to have someone experienced around.

@ballaboi

everyone has its own preference. it's not fair and it's not true to say 80s were the best.

for me, the best decade are '90s. without any doubt. and early 2000s in some way.

but i think it's time to stop this offtopic.

Of course you do, cause you have no 80's memories to draw from. If you've only watched NBA basketball since 1992 why wouldn't you think that? My point is, you can't accurately judge something you have no recollection of, or never experienced. So for you to try to debate that the 90's was a better decade of basketball with someone who watched and recalls both decades, it kind of falls on deaf ears. Cause you have no basis to make that statement, you didn't watch 80's ball. That's like someone saying their country is the best country in the world, when they've never been outside their country, never learned or studied about other countries, just conclude that their country is the best because that's all they know. It's just an incomplete and jaded way of rating things. That's all I'ma say, I'm done with it Madball

@ballaboi

what statement? i didn't say anything. that guy mdub came here telling which decade is better. not me. so please don't put in my mouth something i didn't say it the first place. and when he said that, then i also have right to express my opinion.

also how do you know i didn't watch 80s ball? i'm a true nba fan and i watched enoguh games from the 80s and it didn't change my opinon. i'm not speaking of players or talent. it's unquestionable! i'm speaking of gameplay style in those years which i don't like. the real nba for me starts with bad boys era and bulls vs pistons finals.


now back on track, i played a game in 2k14 and my player was attempting a 3p shot with his both feet on three point line (stepping on it) and when he hit the basket, the game recognized it as a three point shot, while it should be clearly 2pt.

i can't recall, does it happen in 2k13 and 2k12? i think this issue is related with that bug when players step on the free throw line, while shooting the free throw.

guys, i was born in 1980, but i start watching nba in 1991 maybe 1993, because in my country we've got only 2 channels, comunism was something really terrrible. Back on track, i never watched 80's games, until early 2000, when i downloaded some games. Ii never understand how people can talk that mid&late 90's was better than 80's. 80's prime of Magic and Wilkins or Bird. Other thing is how player look and all that pure retro stuff. But cmon Jordan is the best player in our universe. Look at his rookie season in 84/85 - 28points/game. He is legend from begin of his career. Olajuwon, Ewing, Robinson, Malone, all of those guys are from 80's decade. Its all about when u was born, but still u must have love for previous decade, because all all stars from 90's start their career with full impact on NBA in 80's.

yes, but best seasons and prime of all those you've mentioned except bird, magic and partially wilkins are in 90s decade

btw sko, how far is first version of URB 2k14? i cannot play this game without your mod, so i'm thinking of uninstalling it 'till UBR 2k14 is out, to spare disc space on my hdd which is quite low lately

i have bigger problem right now, today morning my hdd with all photos(ALL) and some other stuff is gone. my 3years old WD Elements 3,5" 1.5TB( it was so expensive for me!!!) just dissapeared. I try to connect into other pc, laptop...nothing, i cant see him even in bios, i hear hdd try to work but still nothing. Do you guys know how much will cost recovery of data? Maybe some software can help me? My wife is f furious. Whole year, day after day photos of my son, trips, 10 years of life of photos is gone. Bad luck this year...
About roster, well i dont have any close date, it can be any day- i will inform you guys about progress, right now many things depends on slimms free time.
