Ultimate Retro Roster NBA 2k20: 2026 Season Roster Released!

[Thunder Shaq]

So i have some players, randomly who have the wrong player photo. Like there will be a WNBA players photo there, or the wrong player. I figure i might have done something wrong in the install not sure, just wondering if there is anything i can do to address the issue?

If all the player cyberfaces are showing correctly, then maybe you just didn't download the portraits pack. Make sure you downloaded the update packs too

Hello. First-time download here. Thank you so much for creating this great mod! I was able to install it, and the mod is working well. A lot of the players, portraits, and murals aren't visible, though. I added the Sync bin file and have the 2kHook downloaded, and nothing really changed there. Any advice on how to troubleshoot? I do have the game and mods saved on an external hard drive so I don't know if that has anything to do with it?

Did you download the update packs, too? (provided below the main download packs) Also, sometimes the game just doesn't load the mods on launch, so you may need to close and try to open again

MOD IS WORKING PERFECT. This is amazing. I didn't download those files from the update pack and missed a dll file buried in the 2K hook folder and now all graphics are fixed. Going to be playing this for a very long time. TYSM!

In the roster and draft list there isn't one listed for 2024 but I have a draft class left over file 100. Is this 2024?

Hi, guy! I’d like to know if there’s any net and rim mods and how to install it on URR roster… I’m kinda new on that

Hello Thunder shaq
Thank you so much for your great update.
I have been your loyal fan for many years.
Is it possible that the latest roster 2025~2026 will be released?
Thanks

Hi! Thanks for the support. Yes, I'm working on it and have made a ton of progress. Just a little slower with the rookies than I've been in the past. Players are created, but many need cyberfaces.

Hello, thank you so much for all your work and dedication on the URR2.0 patch over the years.
Because of your great effort, my friends and I have been playing URR2.0 continuously — and we really enjoy it!

I used to make some patches myself, but my skills have fallen behind now. Recently, I noticed that someone in China (on Taobao) is creating new patches for NBA 2K18, 2K19, and 2K23.
It seems to include some updated cyberfaces for rookies and other new content (I haven’t obtained the files yet).

If it helps you speed up the new season 2026 development, I’m willing to purchase it and share it with you for free, hoping it might support your amazing work.
I know how much effort and time you’ve invested into this incredible project — this is just a small way I can contribute.

As for copyright concerns, I can contact the creator directly to confirm usage permissions.
If everything is fine, I think it’s totally worth doing this to help push your project forward.

Thank you again for your amazing contribution to the community!

Yup! You have to remember I'm a single person team in charge of making the update each year so it takes time

I'm hoping to have it released in the next week or so. I had to wait for teams to figure out their rosters and make a bunch of updates for rookies and portraits

I just want to say you are the man! Your work is great and I hope you feel all of our appreciation. I hope you never stop!

I do have a question. I love using the rosters in myleague. Is there a tool to drop the number of teams? When staring a myleague. For instance any of the rosters before the 04 expansion draft?

Congrats on the 2026 season roster release! Having previously kept older NBA Lives up to date well beyond their original release all those years ago, I can attest to it being a massive undertaking for one person.
