Blacktop Revitalization: Generic Edition
Enjoy!
The Generic Edition features players from the Hoop It Up 2K11 mod except they are categorized by their skills and physical appearance. They play in an empty practice gym with the default jerseys, this roster does not use ANY custom art!
Following up on last year's beta, I am taking another swing at giving new life to NBA 2K11's Blacktop Mode. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like we can add multiple courts like I did last year, so instead I am going to focus on sorting NBA players differently and adding new players. This roster is NOT to be used with the normal 5 on 5 play now mode, association mode, or anything that isn't called Blacktop.
Currently, I have 20 "teams" (classes really) done for this roster where I sorted out the 20 best players in the following categories. I removed the historic and developer players, but as you can see Jordan still snuck in.

You'll notice a lot of repeat players in those categories. Thankfully, 2K has programmed Blacktop Mode to automatically remove the "duplicates" once the player is chosen. So if I pick LeBron to be on my team, he will no longer appear in any of the other categories.
I am going to be adding some special categories to chose from on top of these top NBA players, but I will not be adding any player faces to this mod since I am planning on porting this to the 360. Thankfully the REDitor already has all the appropriate columns editable, so I don't need to wait for the next release.
So, I need input on the following:
- What court should I use for this mod? Keep the Blacktop Court? Summer Circuit Indoor Court w/ a crowd? Empty Attack Athletics or Practice Gym? Or even an arena?
- Thoughts on uniform colors? Keep Black vs White? Red vs Blue?
- Any particular additions you would like to see to actually touch Blacktop Mode?
I've got some ideas I am going to implement into this roster already that I'm going to keep secret right now, but I still want to hear what you guys think.
And I will mention that this will be applied to that Hoop It Up mod I am working on as a separate roster. So I can get that "pick up" game feel that was missing from that mod.
