Inspired by the mid-00s 2ks I created a roster for all the Draft Class teams from 1996-2025. In those early NBA 2Ks, there were Draft Class teams only from 2000-07. I took it up a notch for this project. This is the V1.0 release, so improvements to the roster will be made over time. Every team has a custom home and away jersey, court, and logo designs, all built within MyNBA, so no external mods will be necessary. The ratings used are similar to All-Time Teams.
Features
- 1. 1996-2025 teams with complete 15-man rosters and starting lineups
2. Custom art for all teams, including home and away jerseys, courts, and logos
3. Most player animations tweaked, some player ratings adjusted, and every player has been assigned a shoe (no 2K generics)
4. Accurate jersey numbers where possible (some teams have multiple great players with the same jersey number)
5. There are some hidden players used in the roster that cannot be found in the default game rosters (ex: Andrew Bynum, Andre Iguodala, Blake Griffin, etc)
6. Exported from MyNBA as a PlayNow roster, should work in MyNBA but your results may vary
7. Playable on PC, Xbox Series S/X, and PS5 (made on PC, consoles need to be confirmed)
8. Hidden easter eggs on some courts and jerseys

Known Issues
