Slimm44's 2k14 Editing Guide and Roster Project

[slimm44]

Welcome to my 2k14 roster project. All current players have had all ratings/tendencies/contracts/play types edited, all playbooks have been edited to incorporate Hikwelty and Fishbowlguy's work, and all Coaching Profiles have been edited.

Here is a link that explains which plays work and which ones don't. It's almost finished PLEASE DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc ... sp=sharing

Here is a link that explains which plays should be assigned to which teams. Several play types are done: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc ... sp=sharing

Here is a link to the settings I have been using to test CPU vs. CPU matches. It may be a good base for Hum Vs. CPU matches but I haven't had time to play in order to find out: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxjZWa ... sp=sharing

Here is a link to Hum Vs. CPU sliders that neutralize the ratings boost the CPU gets on that level. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxjZWa ... sp=sharing

Thanks, man, I appreciate it. This may seem like a bold statement, but I'll say this...

When this game is set right, it's the best basketball game I've ever played.

I have some pretty big plans for 2k14 that includes some REALLY heavy use of REDitor once I get the current teams and free agents done.

[Maverick]

Tuned in.

[slimm44]

Hey, guys, just wanted to give you a head's-up that [Cam], seanbarkley, and I are going to make this a collaboration project. I will be responsible for the ratings/tendencies/assigned plays/playbooks/coaching profiles and they will be responsible for everything else. Editing will not go all that fast on my end until REDitor is released, so please be patient.

I, and many others, have missed you from past NBA 2K works. Using your 2K13 roster last year totally changed my experience of the game. Thank you for contributing so much to the modding communinty!

[jbjabo12]

sounds great

[Kyrius]

No way! You're back?! That's GREAT NEWS!

Great !!!!!!!!!! I'll be able to tweak the draft classes i'm working on. Not sure i understood what you said about potential though, you say 3-5 players every few years with better than 75 potential. It seems that potential has been tweaked by 2K, it used to be that every player with above 74 potential could be an all star in previous games, and now the potential seems to be the best overall rating the player can be. What do you think ?

I am going to test the potential system more before I can really say. I do know that, the majority of the time, a player's overall rating will not progress higher than his potential rating. I will let you know more as I find it.

Good to know you're working on draft classes, my man. I appreciate your work there.

[Angelo]

Now this is what im gonna be waiting for welcome back

[slimm44]

I truly appreciate the kind words, guys. It's positive feedback and knowing that you guys look forward to the finished product that motivates me to do this stuff.

[mtdub]

Man O Man was I waiting 2 hear from you slimm.

[SC1211]

Very excited for this dude!

[Rosque]

Can't wait to download your amazing roster

One question though, about your editing guide. Players liek Ibaka have more than 2 blocks / 36 minutes. It wouldn't be fair to give him and someone who barely averages 2 blocks / 36 minutes same rating.

I don't like how that works, either. However, I can't do anything in regards to the sim engine. I want that to be as close to realistic as possible because, with sliders, we can customize gameplay whereas with the sim engine there isn't much we can do. The sim engine should allow players to go up to 4.5 or 5 blocks per 36 minutes, but it doesn't. Sorry.

[Rosque]

But if you lower other players ratings Ibaka's blocks per game stay on par with his real life counterpart.

Don't look at blocks per game, look at blocks per 36 minutes. You can get a player to average 2.5-3 blocks per game in the sim engine but they have to play 45-48 minutes to get it.

[Rosque]

I've just testet sim engine by putting everybody on OKC's roster block rating on 25. Ibaka was the only one with 99. He got 1.7 BPG in 35 minutes per game.

It's statistical variance built into the sim engine. You'll probably see him get between 1.7 and 2.3 blocks per 36 minutes at 99 blocking. The variance that is built into the sim engine is actually pretty good.

[Rosque]

Yeah, but in past versions in the game. I could get players average 15 rebounds per game, 4 blocks per game (by lowering the standard in the ratings in the league/team)...In this year stats are capped - blocks at 3 (Hibbert averaged taht much in my 29 games ASS), assists at 11.5 (Rubio) etc. *those are my season high averages that I witnessed and can confirm.

[pierralban]

Any news ?

[s.tambo]

Any news ?

Slimm please post a your roster

[slimm44]

Sorry, guys. Been taking a while due to a ridiculous amount of testing. Me and a few posters from OS have been in the lab for a few days. We've come up with several new nuggets of information that will enhance the gameplay, ie new scales for vertical, speed, quickness, etc. based off of combine measurements and also subjective changes to the various shot type frequencies, post shot tendencies, and freelance post tendencies.

To give a sneak peak, I saw a CPU match last night where Dwight Howard had 25 points, 20 rebounds, and 2 blocks in 40 minutes. BEASTMODE!

Once I get the players on Chicago, Miami, Lakers, Mavericks, Nets, Pacers, Rockets, Thunder, Warriors, and Wizards all-the-way-done, I'll post it. It should be a few days and should also be considered an early-edition beta roster.
