[iPrototype]

Yes. http://www.rayfile.com/files/8d81eb63-b ... 5c55db73d/

I'm glad to say, the only few things that are missing are about 40% of CF's of players, portraits of players (I have the photos, just don't know how to put it in the file) and COURTS. I have NOBODYYYYYYYY to do courts. </3

[Jackle]

Is Ricoy still on this site? PM Him if he is

[Murat]

I've post some courts, you more weclome to use them in your patch. Yes Ricoy can do amazing thing with his court "somehow he knows how to edit the text/logos inside the file" but i do with what there on the ones i make, use them if you like........................ more will come...........

Retroman and some others have joined the team and I want to update everyone on the mod.

Depending on the situation with some team members, I may be able to post a timeframe for this mod. MAYBE, don't quote me on this please. Expect an announcement sometime this week when I learn how everyone is doing. Major progress has went to the mod. Basically a few little things needed to be fix, mainly the jersey and courts which already have been assigned (which please, can we get an applause for RetroMan for those awesome courts?! and future releases? ) and some CF's.

So if I do my math right, this mod MAY come out before the NBA finals. Well it'll definitely come out this year lmao. Think of it this way, if there IS a lock out next year, at least you have a few good mods to play

Remember, we sacrifice time out of OUR lives to make something we enjoy and share it with this great community. Not going to BS you guys and say "you're our motivation," our motivation is to play this mod in it's entirety Anyway guys, that's the announcement, expect good things in the NEAR future.

Nice to hear, i am very excited about this mod.

[iPrototype]

Thank you for the kind words Osaki. We definitely won't let fans like you down. My team is working hard on their spare time to fine tune every little detail. Just so you know how CAREFUL we are with this mod, the first release will have the correct ages, colleges, and birth days of players. That's how much care we put into this mod, little details like that go a LONG way in our mind.

[goh]

Will draft classes be included? I know it'd take too long to do them with CFs but through in game creations. Obviously not all of them,just 1 or 2 years?

definitely great to here, i for one have been watching your progress, i'm sure it will be a great mod, and i want to take time, to say thank you, to you and your team. looking forward to this.

[iPrototype]

@goh - This is a topic that has been discussed with a select few members. I can't dive into much detail yet but look out for the announcement this week! Though to not sound enigmatic, yes there will be a draft class (I want to use Pippen and Reggie Miller when they were rookies )

@StormsWarning - I appreciate the kind words, anytime somebody takes the time out to say thank you, it makes me feel better and motivated to work harder to give you guys totally mind blowing. The whole reason why you went out and purchased NBA 2k11 for the PC in the first place right?

This sounds interesting because the 87 Draft Class was awesome.

Wish you and your team all the best

[iPrototype]

So I finished with A LOT of things on this mod, still need a courts guy and somebody who can do jerseys, please don't make me learn how to and do the mod all by myself

Anyway, lot's of CF's done for players, not too shabby I might add, I will be posting previews of players in the coming week. Also have a top-secret project I'm working on (So secret, the only two people that know are Jao and Aloncho) and will be announcing it sometime this week. I say go to Wal-Mart NOW and get yourself some paper towels because you'll need it after I announce what I have in store for you guys

PLEASE SHOW SUPPORT FOR THIS MOD AND SAY THANK YOU AT LEAST

Apart from that, as a reward for doing so awesome on this mod and passing all my college finals (two weeks off, hell yeah!) I decided to go watch a game

Miami Heat vs Philadelphia 76'ers Game 5 of the Playoff Series (Heat won to take the series)

Wish I could have taken more photos and videos BUT it was pretty crazy the whole game through. Plus all the other photos have a friend of mine in them and I don't need you all stalking meeeeeeeeeeeeee, Oh well

Stay tuned for news and say thank you (in whatever language you want, I don't mind)

[matmat66]

Looking forward to this retro mod guys. We really appreciate your efforts to make the game more enjoyable.

[iPrototype]

For now it's just me and someone else working on the mod, most of the team bailed out (most recently RetroMan from the incident with baballs.com) though it's not going to stop me from giving you guys a prestigious mod.

[matmat66]

Thanks iPrototype. I was in highschool during this NBA season. As a Lakers and Magic Johnson fan, this season is quite memorable to me. Junior skyhook =)

[iPrototype]

Announcement time! I don't know how to begin this so bear with me.

This idea has been in my mind for a while and I have messaged specific people in the modding community for support (JaoSming and Aloncho) and I'm ready to announce it publicly. Remember all the work I do is for you, the players who went out to buy NBA 2k11 for the PC because you KNOW it's potential. The REAL NBA sim fans.

I call it, "iPrototype's Progressive Mod"

Now you may know I am working on the '86-'87 season mod, so once it is done and I post it up here you download it and load up "iPrototype's 86-87 Mod" roster in the game, enjoy it and have fun. All normal right? Now this is where I plan to revolutionize the modding community for all our 2k fans.

What if you want to play with Reggie Miller or Scottie Pippen (both drafted in '87) all you have to do is load up the roster file titled "iPrototype '87-'88 Mod"
What if you want to play with the first year Miami Heat or first year Charlotte Hornets? Go to settings and load up "iPrototype '88-'89 Mod"
What if you want to play with the first year Timberwolves or Orlando Magic? Just load up the "iPrototype '89-'90 Mod" roster file
What if you want to play with the Chicago Bulls that won their first ever championship for the franchise? Load up the "iPrototype '90-'91 Mod" roster file

See where I am going? I want to make it easier for ALL OF YOU and make the switching of a mod to be as simple as the loading of a roster. The roster(s) will have updated stats for each year (thanks to the amazing list by fifedawg) proper tendencies of players, accurate (as possible) shot styles for players and team tendencies. Apart from that, it will have updated CF's for each year (if needed of course) and accurate arena's, jersey's and logos for each year. All that you have to do is download the files, put them into your files folder and load up the roster and enjoy the game!

My plans right now are to release the '86-'87 mod first and soon after the following five seasons, I will be releasing in five season intervals. If you have seen me on NLSC a LOT during this past week it's because I have been doing a LOT of work, want to know how much? Let's just say I already have the base roster files with correct stats, lineup's and tendencies for the first six years done. All I need is moves and gear to call the roster file "complete" you know, apart from the CF's, Jersey's and Courts.

Is that it? NOOOOOO I have also decided to buy a domain name (a .com web address) and upload the files to my own server. The reason for this, COMPLETELY skip using any online downloading service (such as SendSpace or MediaFire) and just allow you guys to download straight from the server as fast as your internet allows you to. So the benefits from this are that you will not only have faster downloading times, but you will be allowed to download multiple files AT THE SAME TIME and not have to write any captcha's or passwords.

Now I must be done right? Not even close! (actually yeah I'm almost done lol) all this work is definitely a pain in the ass but again, I am doing it for you guys and ALL I want in return is just to post on this thread and leave a simple thank you. That's all, not even three seconds of your time and you'll show appreciation to the hardworking people on this mod...which brings me up to another thing, this isn't easy. By hard people I mean ME, I have an above-average grasp of CF's and could modify my headshapes to be accurate. The things I do NOT know is how to make courts, nor jersey's. I can learn how to and make them myself but it's going to be a bother and time-consuming as well. So if you can dedicate a bit of your time to this mod and would like to volunteer please send me a PM. You'll be credited accordingly as we make history with these mod's.

Is there anything else that I need to announce, hmmmm let me think... I guess that's it. To wrap it up, my vision is to release a season mod for every season between '86 and '11 (excluding the ones already out or in production). As I repeat, please just say thank you in this thread and wait while this idea becomes a reality.

Sincerely, iPrototype

[coolbreeze24]

Awesome idea man. I hope you and some of the other modders can pull this off. I've crossed over to the PC for reasons just like this. Looking forward to the 87-88 mod and the protoytpe mod. Keeps up the great work, it is greatly appreciated.

[Nutellar]

This is really awesome... and really alot of work

So you are going to create a roster for every single season in NBA history since 1986. I still cant believe

I hope you get more people on your team to help you, i never did any mods or changes on Game Files, i can only imagine how much work it is.

Thank You !

[iPrototype]

Appreciate the kind words osaki and coolbreeze. Definitely is a lot of work but hope somebody decides to help this great cause. If not I can do it all myself (i hope)

[Nutellar]

This is something i always wish to have in a basketball game...

A kind of History Mod, start in a certain season and play through year after year with the according roster, AMAZING

[The Super Bulls]

What a great idea!
