Just a heads up for our newcomers - first of all, welcome! - we only support legal versions of the game in this community, so you will need the full version of the game. There is currently an issue where this mod needs to be repackaged without files it shouldn't have, but moving forward, you will definitely need to get your hands on a legal copy if you don't already have one. For more information about our policy in that regard, please check out our
Rules.
I'm seeing a lot of posts from people who are having trouble getting the mod to load or any of the files to show up. To help you out, it would definitely help us to know exactly what you've done. This is because, in all my experience, when someone says they've done everything right, they've either:
- Missed one of the steps
- Not actually done everything right, even if it's just a minor mistake in file placement, or forgetting to load the custom roster (it's easily enough done!).
So yeah, letting us know exactly what you've done helps us pinpoint why a mod isn't working, as we obviously can't see your PC and how everything's been set up otherwise. As a basic overview though, here's what you should be doing:
- Make sure that you download all parts of the main folder updates, so that the archive will open properly.
- Extract the files from the NBA 2K11 folder in the archive, directly to your NBA 2K11 folder (by default, that'll be C:\Program Files (x86)\2K Sports\NBA 2K11 in 64-bit Windows)
- Make sure that the files have gone directly into that folder. If they're in a subfolder (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\2K Sports\NBA 2K11\NBA 2K11 or something similar), the game won't load them. If you extracted the files to the right place, they'll be overwriting original files.
- Also make sure that you download the custom roster file (19-20.ROS). Everything else is artwork, this is the actual roster with updated lineups and new players.
- Place that roster file in your NBA 2K11 saves folder. To get there, use the Run command (Windows Key + R) or Search/Cortana, and type in %Appdata% and press Enter. This will take you to the Roaming folder, where you can then go to 2K Sports and finally NBA 2K11. This is where you need to place the roster file.
- Once all the files have been placed in the correct folder, you can run the game.
- Now you'll need to load the roster in-game. Go to Options, Load/Save, and finally Load. Look for the 19-20 roster file, and select it.
- Note that you will likely have to reload the roster at some point, as it doesn't permanently replace the default roster
Hope this helps! Once again, if you are having trouble, please outline exactly what you did so that someone can help pinpoint the issue.
