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

[skoadam]

I have a question whenever I start a brand new season the minutes and rotation for teams always readjust. Is there anyway to prevent that from happening?

No way to stop stupid cpu auto adjust. This is why i was preparing seasons files with all teams under user control and all rotations/minutes sets like in exhibition game but for some reasons people dont like it. Im using mentioned files when i want to play season or asso.

[LA Knight]

I wish you would still make season files I think it gives the game more of an accuracy. Totally love your retro season files I use them all the time when I play 2k13.

Hi Guys. Hoping someone can help or give me some direction. I want to add a home and away alternate jersey to the 1992-93 Phoenix Suns. They wore the 1991-92 jerseys for pre-season before unveiling their new jerseys in their home opener in the newly built America West Arena. I know you can edit this in red mc but I'm just not sure how to do so. Any info on this would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Skoadam Just stay authentic and don't add any no needed jerseys, pre-season jerseys etc. in retro or current rosters, the way it is now it is good as it is.

Hey, guys! Just wanted to give you some info on a retro update I've been working on for a few days. Sko wanted me to make a Youtube video showing what I'm doing but I'm too lazy. Here's the breakdown.

1. I calculated the average shot location percentages for each position from 2001 to 2019. (These are the years that basketball-reference.com has those stats.)

2. I made a spreadsheet that calculates what those percentages were in 1990-2000 rosters. I haven't done pre-1990 rosters yet.

3. I have went through all players and edited their shot location tendencies to ensure that this data is more accurate.

4. I will edit shot location ratings and play types next.

This will lead to pretty major improvements in gameplay. Big men will shoot more mid range shots (and be better at them), guards will drive less and pull up/kick out more, and there will be more noticeable differences when using rosters from different eras.

This is interesting, so this retro update will be for all retro rosters until the current roster of the ubr? how is gonna be released all of them at once or by a decades?

Yes, I am uploading 1985 through 2018. They will be released by decades when they are finished. I should have 1985 through 1993 done in the next week or two. I have not made any progress on end of the season rosters and don't know when I will get to them.

Just because im lazy ( 554 new portraits ), i was bored with ugly white 2k jersey so all FAs will wear Nike black jersey. I also removed all useless players from FAs pool. Players with 2 way contract will wear team jersey Game looks pretty nice.

Early Xmas present for the "old-asses" like me, who were complaining about modern basketball

Triple threat, post-up moves, mid-range, fadeaway, ride to the hoop. Fucking complete package.

Never been a Melo fan, but damn, the guy is one of most talented offensive player ever. One of most gifted. Yes, I know his basketball is not the definition of efficiency, he usually kills the flow, he takes a lot of iso, too many static situations, he's labelled (and that's a truth...but as Iverson said "who isn't in todays NBA?) as a defensive liability...

But this story is about redemption. I love redemption stories. And of course I love when pure old school talent is displayed at its best.

OK, fellas. I've completed the retro edits for 1985-1999 rosters and I'm in the process of pasting them now. Here is a list of most everything that has been overhauled and my methodology to the edits. Honestly, I've changed so many formulas and updated so much that I'm sure I'm missing something. This is the single-biggest update ever to this mod and no other update to this mod even comes close. As soon as I'm done pasting everything, I'll send to Sko and he can release.

- Names were corrected
- Primary and secondary positions were updated based on information from basketball-reference.com
- Height and Weight was checked and updated
- Play initiator was updated based on position type and a touches tendency threshhold
- Go to 3pt was updated based on 3pt tendency thresshold
- Play types were updated based on a combination of primary/secondary position, team strategy, pass rating, and shot location tendencies.
- 3pt shot ratings are season-specific but were also scaled to normalize ratings for players to eliminate statistical outliers. I also gave players who didn't shoot 3's because of the era to have some ability to do so but kept their 3pt shot tendency season-specific.
- I calculated inside, close, and mid range shot ratings by using a formula that kept FG% accurate and accounted for position type and player skill level.
- Dunk, Standing Dunk, Vertical rating, and dunk tendency are all correlated now and are based off height, weight, age, athleticism of the player, and approximately how high the player's head was able to be in relation to the rim on layups/dunks. This makes a MASSIVE difference in realism.
- Offensive and Defensive ratings were calculated with formulas then adjusted by player to eliminate exaggerated influences to those ratings based on team. For example, Ray Allen statistically calculated to somewhere in the 60's to low 70's for defensive awareness during the course of his career but that rating spiked to the 90's when he went to the Celtics and Heat. He was not a shutdown defender by any stretch, so regardless of what team he was on, his rating will be appropriate for him. Again, this was done for all players in the mod.
- Shot in traffic, shot off dribble, dribbling ratings, on ball defense, offensive and defensive low post ratings, and consistency rating are all based off of offensive/defensive ratings and position-specific scales.
- All statistical ratings are season-specific but were normalized by player to eliminate statistical outliers.
- Signature skills were removed to enhance realism.
- Take shot and 3pt tendency are season-specific but normalized by player to eliminate statistical outliers.
- Inside, Close, and mid range shot tendency were calculated similarly to shot ratings mentioned above.
- Putback, Drive the lane, pull up, Triple threat, triple threat shot, no triple threat, hop layup, spin layup, runner, fadeaway shot, stepback shot, and spin shot were calculated based off shot tendencies and player type. Eurostep was lowered drastically except for European players. This is a MASSIVE addition to gameplay and realism.
- Pre-dribble and dribbling tendencies were updated based on ball handling ratings, position, and also personalized for select players.
- Draw foul tendency is season-specific.
- FOR 2K13 ONLY - All freelance tendencies were updated based on position, player style, touches tendency, and era.
- All post tendencies were updated based on player style, position, and low post rating.
- FOR 2K14 ONLY - Pick and roll and Post up tendencies were updated based on a formula including various shot location tendencies and position.
- Coaching profiles were updated to display a spectrum of gameplay differences to account for all teams from 1960 to current.

Hey guys! talking to retro updates I would like you guys fix the sixers 08/09 court. As far as I'm concerned is wrong because I think it should be the old logo. I made a YouTube video where you can see the issue:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNrS95T1Mn4

If someone is able to check it I would appreciate the effort to let me know that I'm not the only one with this issue.
Thanks in advance, a big fan of your Project.

Greetings from Spain.
