You got a rough idea when it could be ready to download? I'm itching to edit the new base rosters with my personal tweaks and get some seasons started.
Thanks for detailing your Play Type logic. I really like tailoring a players style to his age.
I wondered about Cutter because the Cutter plays you selected for your playbooks mostly have the recipient catch the ball in the mid-range area outside the paint (exceptions as always). When running the plays myself Cutter functions very similar to Mid-Range, only going toward the basket instead of away. I tend to give it to guys who also have Mid-Range so they can catch&shoot/drive. Think Bird, Amare, younger Dirk, Wade etc.
I have a tough time imagining those no ball skills having Chandler-esque bigs in those situations but I haven't really tested how the CPU deals with it.
As far as I know, Sko just needs to paste the skills, sig skills, and tendencies into each of his roster files since the files I was working on didn't have the shoe updates. It takes about a minute or less to paste each roster. I think he said something to me about wanting to release it this week.
Another tiny round of sig shots:
Dame Dollar - F:41 B:22
Steve Nash - F:76 B:Paul
Sry for the piecemeal stuff but I'm just posting as soon as I discover & feel satisfied.

Ideally I'd like to see sometning steal related for Bird, maybe Active Hands for Microwave but probably more relevant to his younger self back before his back died on him and those 5 fit him very well anyway. Tough choices with players who really should get more than 5 sig skills.
What do you think of giving Scrapper to bigs who don't get rebounds themselves but help the team secure the board due to their really effective boxing out? Thinking of Marc Gasol & Brook Lopez here. Probably impossible to do on a fair and objective basis as I don't know of any stats which would reflect that (team def reb% maybe?).

Bird has Active Hands in 1985-1988 rosters. From 89-91, his steal rating dropped off and he didn't qualify for it.
You can add the scrapper sig skill to players like that if you want. Like you said, I don't know of an objective way to do that. Also, it will necessarily lead to those guys getting more rebounds in-game. Brook can box out well (he's a very big body), but I vividly remember seasons where he'd average 5 or 6 boards per game. The Scrapper sig skill would probably have him getting 8-10 boards per game in game play.

Yeah, thought as much, just wanted to mention the ideas.
Think I'm gonna give them Scrapper. I just don't want players get killed on the boards who don't get killed on the boards irl. The goal is to prevent their direct opponent from snatching the board and if it takes them getting the board themselves then it's a case of lesser evil for me. I care a lot about gameplay and not at all about stats so my whole outlook is different anyway.
Btw, is there a way to create my own or modify existing playbooks from within the game (and save it to the roster file)? I want to create specific 4-out & 5-out playbooks and it's a pain to do it over everytime I start a new season with a team that needs those.

I think one of the playbooks in the roster files is a 3-2/4-1 hybrid but it's been a few years since I've done anything with playbooks.

Unfortunately when I modify playbooks from within the game, they are not saved. Just tried it again.
I went to Manage Roster -> Playbooks -> Edit Offense
When finished, I saved the Roster file. When I reloaded that roster file, the edits were gone.

I don't understand why not. That's the way I create playbooks (before I copy and paste into other roster files).
