I have been watching your gigantic work for a long time and with interest. Are you planning rosters for decades, like 80s, 90s? I noticed a trend in rosters, big players (C,PF) have much worse ratings than small ones (SF,G). Is this a conscious decision?

No, I mean 1 roster for 80s, like 1980-1989 roster

No, I mean 1 roster for 80s, like 1980-1989 roster

you mean you want a roster with 10 Chicago Bulls teams in (all from the 80s) plus 10 Atlanta Hawks teams (80s) plus 10 Boston Celtics teams (80s) plus 10 Cleveland Cavaliers teams (80s) and so on?
you know in the end you have a (80s) roster with about 300 teams in?

[2kquestions]

Hi hello everybody.

Thanks for this christmas gift !
I have a a few questions, sorry in advance for the long post !

1- For using the FIBA mod, how to have the logos of national teams ? What are the files i need to copy/paste in the folder to have the national flags ? And what files i need to copy/paste again when i want to play with NBA teams ?

2- A question about the settings. I see you put field goal % for the shooting, and not timing of release. Can i ask you why ? Do you think it give more realism to the game with the slider set you have created ?
I like your slider set, the flow of the offense and the cutting. It's high octane offense with good %. And sometimes i have to admit it's a lot, because my defense can be porous at times .
So i try to lowering the shooting slider (to 50 for 44 for example) or lowering the speed of the game. But i don't want to break the flow of your slider set. Do you have any advice of which slider can i touch without doing that please ?

Hope my message is clear.
Thank in advance for your aswer and thanks again for your work.

Merry christmas.

To answer question 1)
all faces, arenas, jerseys and dornas for NBA and FIBA are together in the same folders (faces, courts, jerseys + updates). No need to exchange anything there.

you only need to exchange FIBA/NBA (national team) logos, FIBA/NBA ball, FIBA/NBA portraits.
you get all that FIBA national team stuff in folder "2K13 IFF FIBA 1984-2012".
so download that folder and keep it.

to switch back to NBA (NBA logos, portraits, ball) download folders "global", "portraits" and "logos".
use those folders to switch between FIBA and NBA.

For question 2)
I have done individual ratings/tendencies for all players (FIBA and NBA).
I am sure the CPU uses players individual tendencies when game sliders are off. In the end you get a more realistic game play if the CPU uses each players individual tendencies (according to their output in 1984 Olympics, 1988 Olympic seasons or NBA seasons).

I for my own set the defensive sliders to what I am used to.
if the CPU defense is too though for you don't hesitate to lower it. But does it harm the speed of the game? I don't think so.
I think lowering defensive makes it easier for you to score more points.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your responses.
Taking good notes for the FIBA mod, it will be a pleasure to play international games !

And thanks for the sliders advices. In fact my problem is not that I'm struggling to score, more the contrary. At the end of the games i have very good % (60% or more) and i'd like to lower this. Given your response I'm gonna try to up the defensive sliders of the CPU (on ball defense, etc) and reduce the shooting sliders for me. By mixing this I hope this is gonna work !

Another thing i like is your rebounding sliders, i have the feeling it's pretty equal between me and the CPU and it's very enjoyable !

Once again thanks a lot.
And merry christmas

PatTheHead,

I don't want this post to sound like i moan or something , but could you separate FIBA and NBA files into two sections for download? Your mod is becoming somthing beyond anyone's expactation and imagination in terms of quality, but at the same time it becomes so huge in terms of size, with both FIBA/EUROLEAGUE/NBA in the same download size. And it's not only about size, with bigger and more download parts it takes an hour on average PC to install everything. And in my scenario, i only need NBA files

In this short time on these boards i've noticed two types of members, those who (like me) are interested only in NBA and others who prefer european basketball, including FIBA tournaments. So if you separate downloads in the future it would be win-win situation for both group of fans .

At least think about that and happy holiday season
