U R B - WHERE SIM HAPPENS ! 2023 Roster Preview! 22ND February!

[rajaz]

Hi Skoadam & Slimm,
Thanks for the latest update.
I understand how u rate the latest version 3pt and ft attributes. May I ask what is the logic for the close shot and medium shot?
thanks

[slimm44]

Inside Shot = ((0-3 Ft%-45)+(0-3 Ft%*0.6)+37.5)
Close Shot = (3-9 Ft%*2)
Mid Range Shot = (((10-15 Ft%+10)+((10-15 Ft%*0.8)+((16-23 Ft%+10)+((16-23 Ft%*0.8))/2)

I also have positional caps for each range depending on how often the player shoots in each range.

That's impressive work! I will use it.

I am currently working on 1995/96 season.
I added all teams assistant coaches (I miss only one cf - Dick Helm from the Hawks).
I added some coaches (like Larry Bird, Rick Pitino, Greg Popovich, etc..) and assistant coaches to the free agents coaches list (association mode).
I added some new shoes and assigned shoes to all players based on what they used to wear.
Now, I am updating weight's (many of them are from their rookie year and not based on the particular season), body type, play style, personality, play types, signature skills, free throw animations. (60-65% done)
I will also update players skills and tendencies based on your great work but will mesh it up with deep online research, scouting reports and watched games from that era.
When I'm done would u like me to send it over to u?

rajaz, I have np with releasing your roster, ofc after test. I wont release 2k14 roster with sig skills and I have no idea what you want to change in tendencies while all rosters works with formula. Not sure why you want to use Slimm formula in 95/96 when it was already implemented.

First of all, I think what you guys accomplished is amazing! the % very real. I think the shooting skills & tendencies close to perfection.
For me there are minor changes, for example, A Mcdyess in his rookie year used more spin jumper and less stepback and fadeaway so I would give it more reflection in the tendencies. Small things like that, nothing dramatic in this section.
You don't have to release my version. I do it for my own fun and use. You can check it out and take from it whatever you like, or not. No hard feelings.
I'm just sharing my 2 cents view with the 2k14 oldschool family

Why won't u use sig skills?

Now its clear, you are not talking about shooting area tendencies (close, mid, 3pt). If you want to edit other tendencies i see no problem.
Sig skills in 2k14 ruin gameplay.

[MadbaLL]

i disagree... speaking of myself, i don't need a "third party" roster when we already have perfect 95/96 roster mod inside URB by you sko and slimm.

[johnwest1985]

agree with madball on this one

I didn't know that

I didn't mean to release another roster. Not at all. I just thought maybe Sko will like to implement few stuff from my roster into his roster like the assistant coaches. But if no need, that's ok. No worry's

[Rsnail]

Guys, has anyone encountered a bug where a part of the court becomes blurry if the camera is not focused there?

For example, when the player brings up the ball, everything from the 3 point line down to the baseline will become blurry and when he arrives there, it will be fine except with some areas and the baseline.

I was wondering if it's just me or someone else too has it.

Some changes can be useful like the added coaches for assoc, tendencies and weight.

You have disabled "profundidad del campo" in video settings? (I dont know how its called in the english menu, I remember its the last option, or the one before that one. One of the last two.)

[jaywv1981]

I just wanted to mention something to everyone in case they are interested. I've been using a program called Parsec to play online with URB with a friend. It works really well. Would be a way for some members of the community here to play online with/against each other with all of these great mods like URB.

I enabled Depth of Field and it partially solved the problem. The 3pt line became less blurry. The baseline is still blurry, and has jagged lines. Even the logos and text on the court

I tinkered with the nvidia control panel before and set all options to best quality except for antialiasing because my pc can't handle it I'm wondering if it's because of that or on the game itself.

Set your texture settings to High. If that didn't fix the problem, maybe it's on the courts itself

[slimm44]

It's not a courts problem. You need to turn your video settings up in-game.

Tell me more about Parsec.

[Rsnail]

I have all of my video settings turned to High
It was not like this even when I adjusted video settings in nvidia control panel AND used the modified config file which gave me a boost in performance.

Then suddenly just one day, I noticed the letters on the baseline had rugged edges, and then the 3pt line was blurry. I switched teams and it still have the blurriness so it was not because of the courts. I stopped using the config file and nothing happened but lessen my fps (I have potato pc )

So far, I still do not know what is causing the problem. Either the nvidia control panel settings, in game settings, or I must just have to reinstall the whole game

Thanks for the help guys!

backup and delete the crowd.iff file mate, it'll boost the fps. [disable the crowds actually]
Or maybe download "Intel Display Adapter Management Tool" and toggle with the Software/Hardware options.
Somehow it boosted my video quality. May not work with everyone.

My PC is pretty poor, so currently I'm not making use of the New Courts, I just renamed the default 2K14 courts w.r.t the names of the mod,
You probably won't see blurred lines if you use the low resolution textures in the default courts,
For eg, default Brooklyn court is 576 KB, Brooklyn court on the mod is 35 MB. See that makes a difference.

Just suggestions...

Tell me more about Parsec.

With Parsec you have 2 options.
1. Your machine acts as the server and other people can connect to you.
2. You rent a server from Amazon and you and the other people connect to it. This is what I did, the Amazon server has a 1 Gbps connection up and down.

The server sees the gamepad/keyboard/mouse of you and anyone else that is connected to it and treats you all as local users. A friend and I tried and it works really well. The same as if he were at my house using a second controller and we were playing URB locally.

How much is the server through Amazon?

It depends on how much storage you pick. I picked 100 GB so the storage is $7.00 per month and then you pay $0.77 per hour to use it. If you played for hours every day it would get expensive but not bad for occasional online play. Its not really a recurring charge...you buy credits that get applied to your account. I bought $20.00 worth to test it out.

[Rsnail]

Hey guys, I have some great news for you

The blurriness was caused by the pre rendering of frames set on Nvidia Control Panel which minimizes input delay. When I turned it off, the courts were now back to its astonishing quality

Thanks for all the help guys!

[johnwest1985]

Hi @Skoa.. any chance u make the current roster with the coloured shoes and accecories ? Like a second version ? Wouldnt that be rather easy to just copy the teaminfo to the new roster ? In that case one can choose when playing with current teams.... just asking. Thanks for all the work

[Blue]

sir im asking if can you may make the draft class compatible to the mackubex roster cause im really want to use the 2014 to 16 draft classes tho i am going to play the default roster one hope you'll make it thanks

[Jmad]

Any news on the progress made on the all time roster?
