D43 - Ultimate Classic Team Roster - VERSION 3 RELEASED!

[TGsoGood]

I've been thinking about getting back on 2K17. Glad to know you are still working on this.

I've been thinking about getting back on 2K17. Glad to know you are still working on this.

I just can't seem to let go of it.

I feel bad that I havn't released V2, but once it's released the people who enjoy V1 (if they are still around) will LOVE V2, I belive I had around 15 new teams in the original release, that has increased to around 30, I've done over 50 body edits to remove the skinny body types from the roster, a ton of 2K18 to 2K17 conversions to get many, many more accurate faces, etc.

I'll be adding names to the credits once released, because without the original work the conversions would not be possible.

I wish 2K17 was still the IN game so more people would be playing it.

[sticky-fingers]

Not sure who is still playing 2K17, but the V2 release would be MASSIVE, and a major improvement over V1

Still playing this game, time to time.
Happy to hear that this v2 project is still alive.

[Dee4Three]

I believe I have only 6 current teams from the actual game intact, and am looking at filling them. The teams that are still there are the Bucks, Celtics, Hornets, Raptors, Jazz and the Wizards.

[Dee4Three]

Played my brother the other night using the 92-93 Bulls, he used the 15-16 Thunder (New team)

Had to make and post a video of it. Not only was it a great game, but I was doing some pretty awesome stuff with Jordan. I put the game speed at 53, and am using the December 2016 .exe, and I am noticing some new dunk animations I havn't seen before. You will see a few from Pippen and Jordan in this.

Also, check out the Jordan move at 4:24, I put it in slow motion after as well.

Do you need some proposals ?

Ive decided on the 02-03 Wizards I think, and the 96-97 Hornets. Probably going to put the 00-01 Bucks in, but am unsure about the Celtics right now because of lack of faces currently I have the 16-17 Celtics, which is no slouch).

I might put the 90-91 Jazz in over the current Jazz

Trailblazers spot is open as well, and I really like the 85-86 Trailblazers team, but I am missing a good Sam Bowie

[Dee4Three]

02-03 Wizards are now in the roster. Couple more teams and Ill release V2.

Had a great game against my brother tonight using the 02-03 Wizards. he was using the 96-97 Heat. Game Highlights below.

I converted the court from the URB (Retromanas court, thank you), and converted the default Bryon Russell from 2K18 to 2K17. The team looks awesome. Stats are at the end of the video.

[Dee4Three]

Can anybody put together a Sam Bowie (85-86) for me?

I know not many people are modding this game anymore, but I wanted that young Bowie, Drexler, Vandeweghe Blazers team in the game and on the V2 roster.

[sticky-fingers]

You could take Bowie from Mickachiste 84/85 roster

That's probably a created player Bowie. I'd need to see a screen and I don't have his roster installed.

[sticky-fingers]

Yeah thats Dwight Powell.

My roster is a lot more accurate now (you will see), that's why I want an accurate Bowie.

I'll try to make one myself, but I know more talented CF makers exist out there

[sticky-fingers]

I dont realize, it's not perfect but it could be a base for the nose and the mouth.

[Dee4Three]

Just converted the 00-01 Bucks court from 2K14. It was time consuming because I basically had to piece it together. That team will be in it as well.

I may put the 09-10 Raptors over the current Raptors (braided Bosh and young Derozan).

[Dee4Three]

Was able to make a really solid Bowie (Will share screens laters), and am putting in the 86-87 TrailBlazers. I love "What if" teams, and Bowie only played 5 games that season before getting hurt. They had Kiki and Drexler who both averaged over 20ppg, and they won 49 games.

That could have been a 60 win team. I have already converted the court and the jerseys, logos are all set.

Finishing off them, and the 00-01 Bucks. Once that's done, only 4 teams left on the entire roster to convert.

Thinking:

02-03 Magic
66-67 76ers
09-10 Suns
09-10 Celtics

[sticky-fingers]

Agent 0 's 2006-07 Washington Wizards

[Dee4Three]

Agent 0 's 2006-07 Washington Wizards

Running out of spots.

The only way to make that happen would be if I could unlock more teams that allowed 13 guys, and could be fully converted.

[Dee4Three]

For anybody who has done in depth roster editing.

Is it possible to unlock the hidden teams slots (college teams) and completely overwrite them for use in MyLeague (so each team has 13 guys?)

[Dee4Three]

Nevermind, just figured it out.

I have 6 more slots now to use (so I can add a total of 9 or 10 new teams). I'll also unlock the Dream Team, USA team, Australian team, and the two all-star teams for the V2 release.

Now I am more than likely going to add the Brandon Roy Blazers, possibly that Wizards team, the 66-67 76ers, and a few others.

[TGsoGood]

Just FYI, in 2K19 when you unlock a team as a normal team type, you must always start myleague as a custom myleague (even if only playing with 30 teams) to avoid crash to desktop.
Not sure if it is the same in 2K17 but I just thought I'd let you know.

[Dee4Three]

Yeah no worries. I do that anyway.

However, HUGE FINDING. I found out how to get 13 players on the teams that don't have them, including the Euro teams and the college teams. Those teams can be completely converted to classic NBA teams for use in play now or MyLeague.

That opens up like 31 slots....obviously I won't use all of them, but it's a huge finding. I had to manipulate the players in Limnono to get it done (change team id for a player under custom options to the team Id of the euro or college team, followed by trading that player in Limnono for another player, than trading them back through Limnono for that same player)

Wish I had figured that out two years ago. I would have kept the current teams intact.

Anyway, I'll certainly be looking to add more teams now.

[TGsoGood]

yes that is a big find. Glad you finally got it. This should also apply to current game with hidden teams so the information is still very relevant.

Great

[trevorjpt33]

Yo, I was super excited to see that you are continuing work with this roster, I will be looking forward to it for sure.

Periodically I have been taking breaks from working on 2K19 conversions and giving stuff like 3D hair on converted players in 2K17 another look. Today I was able to add 2K17 Nikola Vucevic's hair and apply it to the Brent Barry converted from 2K18 that you had me polish up the textures for. I have yet to try adding hair from one 2K17 player to another 2K17 player but I would be absolutely shocked if that did not also work. I will try and see if I can convert 2K18 hair along with a player as well.
