[slimm44]

I just emailed Sko the finished files from 1985-1999.

[retromanas]

slimm44, Great job sir. You are quick. Keep it us with updates on the 2000-2019 as well.

[truefaith0826]

that is dope slimm.

[slimm44]

Thanks, guys. I have started preparing the spreadsheet for 2000-2009. It should take significantly less time. There are 1400 less players in this spreadsheet. I'm actually pretty excited about this decade. I like 90's basketball the most but then I like 2000's more than 80's and I like 2010-2020 least of all, especially the last 4 years or so.

So this mod is no longer able to be downloaded with actually having to pay for it? I have tried downloading some of the older releases from prior months and it just keeps me on the adfly screen telling me to push allow to download. That screen links me nowhere. Any help with this is appreciated

Im using adfly link since 3 years and its most non annoying version of adlinks if you compare to other modders, because there is no links after links after links. No idea why some users have problem, maybe its antivirus, maybe browser, maybe ad blocker ...i have no idea. I have zero problem with adlfy links.
Also this mod is for free, i mean there is no need to pay for it, simply wait for release here on NLSC but yes there will be adfly links, i wont change it. Period.
My last post about adfly links below.

So about ad.fly, this is how it looks. Im using Firefox with adblock turned off and im not using additional antivirus.

Step by step.

Downloading CF#2



Waiting 5 seconds



Clicking Skip Ad



Waiting or clicking on click this link



Clicking green Download



Clicking OK




Im not using ad.fly where you must press 100 times, its all about 3 clicks per one zip part.

Thank you for the detail information. I never had problems before downloading this great mod.

OK, fellas. I've completed the retro edits for 1985-1999 rosters and I'm in the process of pasting them now. Here is a list of most everything that has been overhauled and my methodology to the edits. Honestly, I've changed so many formulas and updated so much that I'm sure I'm missing something. This is the single-biggest update ever to this mod and no other update to this mod even comes close. As soon as I'm done pasting everything, I'll send to Sko and he can release.

- Names were corrected
- Primary and secondary positions were updated based on information from basketball-reference.com
- Height and Weight was checked and updated
- Play initiator was updated based on position type and a touches tendency threshhold
- Go to 3pt was updated based on 3pt tendency thresshold
- Play types were updated based on a combination of primary/secondary position, team strategy, pass rating, and shot location tendencies.
- 3pt shot ratings are season-specific but were also scaled to normalize ratings for players to eliminate statistical outliers. I also gave players who didn't shoot 3's because of the era to have some ability to do so but kept their 3pt shot tendency season-specific.
- I calculated inside, close, and mid range shot ratings by using a formula that kept FG% accurate and accounted for position type and player skill level.
- Dunk, Standing Dunk, Vertical rating, and dunk tendency are all correlated now and are based off height, weight, age, athleticism of the player, and approximately how high the player's head was able to be in relation to the rim on layups/dunks. This makes a MASSIVE difference in realism.
- Offensive and Defensive ratings were calculated with formulas then adjusted by player to eliminate exaggerated influences to those ratings based on team. For example, Ray Allen statistically calculated to somewhere in the 60's to low 70's for defensive awareness during the course of his career but that rating spiked to the 90's when he went to the Celtics and Heat. He was not a shutdown defender by any stretch, so regardless of what team he was on, his rating will be appropriate for him. Again, this was done for all players in the mod.
- Shot in traffic, shot off dribble, dribbling ratings, on ball defense, offensive and defensive low post ratings, and consistency rating are all based off of offensive/defensive ratings and position-specific scales.
- All statistical ratings are season-specific but were normalized by player to eliminate statistical outliers.
- Signature skills were removed to enhance realism.
- Take shot and 3pt tendency are season-specific but normalized by player to eliminate statistical outliers.
- Inside, Close, and mid range shot tendency were calculated similarly to shot ratings mentioned above.
- Putback, Drive the lane, pull up, Triple threat, triple threat shot, no triple threat, hop layup, spin layup, runner, fadeaway shot, stepback shot, and spin shot were calculated based off shot tendencies and player type. Eurostep was lowered drastically except for European players. This is a MASSIVE addition to gameplay and realism.
- Pre-dribble and dribbling tendencies were updated based on ball handling ratings, position, and also personalized for select players.
- Draw foul tendency is season-specific.
- FOR 2K13 ONLY - All freelance tendencies were updated based on position, player style, touches tendency, and era.
- All post tendencies were updated based on player style, position, and low post rating.
- FOR 2K14 ONLY - Pick and roll and Post up tendencies were updated based on a formula including various shot location tendencies and position.
- Coaching profiles were updated to display a spectrum of gameplay differences to account for all teams from 1960 to current.

You´re the boss

The big boss.

I just emailed Sko the finished files from 1985-1999.

Hi slimm44.Where can we download the finished files from 1985-1999?

Hi slimm44.Where can we download the finished files from 1985-1999?

Sko will be releasing them when he is done with a few tweaks on his end. The download links will be posted in this thread when they are released.

That's fine., no worries. Hopefully everynthing goes smoothly with retro edits for 2000-2009 rosters as well?

I'm around 65% done with normalizing statistical ratings and tendencies and I'm finished with editing vertical, speed, and quickness. Once I'm done with normalizing statistical ratings and tendencies, the rest doesn't take as much time.

That's very good are you guys thinking release all 1985-2018 rosters at once, once you completely finished or staying with your decision at beginning?

[bigh0rt]

I'll never get tired of seeing slimm talk about ratings and tendencies and how he formulates them.

Maybe after all you will be able to post top 20 vertical players?

I can post the top 10 or 20 players based on two methods:

1. Vertical leap
2. Distance of the top of the player's head from the rim during a jump

I have about 1200 players left to standardize statistical ratings for then I'll do that.

Anything else you guys are curious about?

[seed39]

not sure why i can't see any new post about ur mod update

No worries, you see all new posts. 3 pages were removed by admin few months ago.

[slimm44]

Here are the players with the top-20 vertical ratings from 1985 through 2009 along with an estimation of how high the top of their head was at the peak of their jump during games. I looked up a lot of players on google images and Youtube to estimate this, but I did not look every single player up. I chose this method because I don't care so much about their ability to jump in a combine setting, I care more about how high they jump in games. The average vertical rating equated to an average of the top of the player's head being between 12-14 inches below the rim at the height of their jump. Note that an NBA net hangs between 12 and 15 inches below the rim if when you look at pictures and/or watch videos of dunks. Also, the way that I determine the vertical rating is by multiplying the player's assumed vertical leap by 2. For example, a 30 inch vertical leap equals a 60 vertical rating.

1. Gerald Green 99 (50 inches. Top of head 8 inches above the rim)
2. Spud Webb 92 (46 inches. Top of head 7 inches below the rim)
3. Nate Robinson 90 (45 inches. Top of head 6 inches below the rim)
4. Michael Jordan 88 (44 inches. Top of head 2 inches above the rim)
5. Robert Pack 88 (44 inches. Top of head 2 inches below the rim)
6. Jason Richardson 88 (44 inches. Top of head 2 inches above the rim)
7. Shannon Brown 84 (42 inches. Top of head 2 inches below the rim)
8. Kobe Bryant 84 (42 inches. Top of head even with the rim)
9. Vince Carter 84 (42 inches. Top of head even with the rim)
10. Derrick Rose 84 (42 inches. Top of head 4 inches below the rim)
11. Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf 82 (41 inches. Top of head 6 inches below the rim)
12. Steve Francis 82 (41 inches. Top of head 4 inches below the rim)
13. Bernard King 82 (41 inches. Top of head even with the rim)
14. Dominique Wilkins 82 (41 inches. Top of head even with the rim)
15. Dee Brown 80 (40 inches. Top of head 7 inches below the rim)
16. LeBron James 80 (40 inches. Top of head 1 inch above the rim)
17. Kevin Johnson 80 (40 inches. Top of head 7 inches below the rim)
18. Tracy McGrady 80 (40 inches. Top of head even with the rim)
19. Jamario Moon 80 (40 inches. Top of head even with the rim)
20. Dwyane Wade 80 (40 inches. Top of head 4 inches below the rim)
