[Pep]

I talk with Sko and URL will back, don't worry.

[slimm44]

I understand it's been quite a while since anything has been released.

However, when y'all see how FREAKING MASSIVE this update is, I think you'll understand why.

Please continue to be patient.

One question regarding NBA 2K13. In retro download, there are draft classes, but they don`t seem to be working. I can`t load them. They aren`t even showed. Do they work for anyone?

[slimm44]

We have found a workaround for draft classes that Sko should be explaining soon.

Also, he told me today his goal is to release the mega retro update in the next few days. He has done a TON of work to retro shoes, but there are some rosters he hasn't had time to complete yet.

Lazy boy with ton of work... sounds really hard. I´m afraid of...

Take your time with the update. As much content as this particular mod has already provided, and for free at that, all of you involved with this mod have already been more than kind to the community. Thank you all for your hard work.

[retromanas]

Hey guys, can someone update front and back numbers for the Orlando Magic team home and away jerseys for the 1999 roster, 1999 (EOS) end of season roster, 2000 roster, 2000 (EOS) end of season roster, 2001 roster, 2001 (EOS) end of season roster, 2002 roster and 2003 roster? because the numbers on the front and back of the jerseys are too big, should be smaller.

add to that greyish look of all white uniforms of same modder and you get what you get (just being honest, sorry).

Guys just in case, i already figured out by myself. Jerseys numbers are fine as it is now, no need to do anything. I just lower graphics in video settings and now everything is ok with jersey numbers.

Workaround was only needed for 2k13 I thought?

Yes. 2K14 draft classes work and 2K13 do not.

Hello URB Family and Hawk23, new RETRO update is here! Sorry for the long time in between posts. We've been working A LOT on both updating the roster files and fixing all of the errors that we found after pasting. I think its URB biggest update since 2014. Because this update is soo big i suggest to re-download all parts. If you have problems with internet speed you must re-download at least all CFs parts, Arenas#2, Courts#2 and Jerseys#2 but like i said it will be better to re-download all of them.






::: WHATS INSIDE :::

- updated Elite Roster by adding 6 new teams

- added NEW 2019&Elite Roster

- updated All Star Roster by adding new teams

- updated all All Time Rosters by adding new players ( Zion, Tatum, Middleton, Jokic, Doncic, Booker, Siakam etc.)

- updated Current All Time Roster version with 2020 jerseys/logos, courts etc.

- tons of new retro cfs made by Maravich, Icecr, and other modders ( sry but i dont remember all of your names guys - you are the reason why im still editing )

- new retro jerseys made by Pepis

ALL ROSTERS and ALL PLAYERS were updated with new Slimm formulas listed below :

- Updated play types based on era, position, player type, and statistical data
- Updated names (all spelling should be correct now)
- Updated height and weight. A lot of players who noticeably gained weight will gain weight from roster to roster ie Eric Snow, Vin Baker
-Updated primary and secondary positions
- Updated shot in traffic, shot off dribble, ball handling, off ball dribbling, ball security, offensive low post, defensive low post, and on ball defense ratings
- Offensive and defensive awareness has been personalized for every player. For example, Ray Allen typically had a defensive awareness rating in the 70's. Then, he went to Miami and, based on my statistical formulas, he had a few seasons where that went up to the 90's because he was on such a good defensive team. I made sure that his best defensive seasons had mid 70's defensive awareness ratings. I did this for every player's offensive and defensive awareness ratings.
- Speed and quickness ratings have been revamped for every player to make bigger gaps in explosiveness and speed between players and positions.
- Vertical, dunk, standing dunk, special layup ratings (for 2k14 only), dunk tendency, and alley-oop tendency have been updated for every single player in the mod. Vertical was based off of in-game ability to jump (in reference to how close to the rim the top of the player's head and hand gets during gameplay) and NOT on combine numbers. Players who don't reach a certain height based on their vertical leap, physical height, and how high their hand gets in relationship to the rim will NOT have the ability to dunk. For example, Zion Williamson has a 45 inch vertical leap and is 6'6 tall. This means that, in a training setting, the top of his head gets 3 inches over the rim (45 inches + 78 inches = 123 inches. Rim is 120 inches from floor.) There are times where the top of his head is even with the rim during gameplay, but I found no photographic or video evidence that his head has been 3 inches above the rim during NBA gameplay. I understand this method of calculating vertical rating will be controversial. If you desire to change individual ratings, feel free. There will most likely be no further updates after this one.
- Post up tendency and pick and roll tendency have been updated for 2k14
- Post move and post shot tendencies have been updated for all players. There are now 4 types of low post players: Power, Traditional, Finesse, and Mid-Range. These types of players have separations in the amount of post moves that are assigned to them based on their low post rating and position. This should add a great deal of diversity to the post game.
- Pre-drive dribbling tendencies and dribbling tendencies have been updated for every player based on position, ball handling rating, and era.

URB team had NUMEROUS conversations about individual players and I implemented a number of edits to specific players to make this mod as sim as possible. Guys, we left no stone unturned. This is by far the most comprehensive and sim update that we have ever produced.

Have FUN, leave comment


::: NO PREVIEWS NEEDED :::


::: WHATS NEXT :::
- Release URB2020 Restart Roster
- Finish shoes update for 2K13 retro rosters (1994-2012)
- Update all draft classes, with all new slimms formulas for 2K14
- Update all draft classes for 2K13 but it will be something different
- Asso and Season Files based on newest retro rosters for both K13 & K14

I guess this is one of the better places for the first post on this forum, although i'm not a complete newbie here since i've been following these boards for a while, keeping eye on 2k17-2k19 modding (cudos to all 2k17-2k19 modders!), but hey why not give it a try with this mod and 2k14, after seeing lots of youtube clips about it and positive feedback. Also i'm trying to get some initial help with this mod, basically two questions bug me:

1. If i got it right, mod is separated to current and retro parts, to play retro parts, we must use also current parts. But the question is, since this big update is retro related, which parts to install first, current then retro or vice versa?

2. I noticed in current roster section that download #6 (nba 2k14 shoes) is missing (i get "file deleted" message). Is that normal or file is really missing (or not needed anymore)?

Regards!

Hi, yes its good place to ask.

1. Right now i dont think there is any difference which parts you should paste first. I made nice seperation of files. Still...paste retro parts first, then current - just in case.
2. Its not removed, its just because in next few days i will release 2020 Update and Bubble Roster with shoes update so its just place holder for now.

[skoadam]

Ok, i have first reports. One is Marc Gasol cf for 2009-2013 and Nets jerseys for 00's seasons. To fix the issues re-download Retro Jerseys #2, CFs #7 and retro rosters. Thanks for all GOOD reports.

[Kevin]

First the Clippers lose now we get a URB update. Today was a good day

[LBL]

Okay, first i want to say all those positive feedback i've read about this mod was more than justified, it exceeded my expectations, i must say hats down and thanks to whole team behind this mod!!!!

I think i installed everything in a right way, because i haven't noticed any graphics file missing whatsoever.

However, as a brand new fan i have some further questions:

1. Retro shoes files should be visible where exactly? I ask because i've seen many (retro seasons) teams having custom/generic team color shoes, i think i noticed only star players having modded shoes.

2. Is it normal that 80s seasons teams have same custom/generic type of shoes like 90s season teams, not possible to have at least generic 80s shoes?

3. Regarding "2k14 art files" part, since i would like to use another global.iff, while mod's global has some background graphics elements in it, is it possible (maybe in the future) to put graphics elemets out of global.iff, so we could use any global we want? I don't want to miss any of great graphics featured if i replace mod's global with other i prefer. Hope my question was understandable?

4. EOS rosters are still WIP or...? Because i noticed some modern players in one or two EOS rosters.

4. EOS rosters are still WIP or...? Because i noticed some modern players in one or two EOS rosters.

1. Retro shoes files should go to main game folder. Retro shoes should be decade, if i didnt have model i want i use something similar, there shouldnt be current shoes in 80s or 90s rosters but there can be for sure 90s shoes in 80s rosters. Can you please tell me which player wear current shoes? BE SPECIFIC, after all these years im little tired of guessing. Generic shoes sounds interesting.
2. Look at 1.
3. I have no idea what are you talking about. Im using this global because its universal for retro and current. Let me know when you will find better universal global and i will test and if it will be good i will put into mod. Im not global modder.
4. Not sure about which EOS you are talking about. 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 are finished. Can you point modern player in any of mentioned rosters. If there are some errors, its probably because of slimm edits.

[skoadam]

Checked. I have no idea what you did but for sure you forgot to download retro CFs parts. REMEMBER! DOUBLE TRIPLE CHECK, THEN REPORT.

1. and 2. - For example, i was playing 1985 Celtics vs Sixers and i noticed same type of generic shoes like in late 90s rosters, while missing old school shoes like, for example, Converse and Adidas Superstar shoes that were very common among players. Also, while playing 1996 Suns vs Sonics, most of players (except Kemp i think) had generic shoes in team uniform colors. Yes, i put shoes files into main folder. No problem if this is supposed to be this way, i know modding is not being magician .

3. Well, global in the mod has some background graphics in it, because when i put, for example, modded default global.iff (with nba logo removed), those graphics dissapear. So my question was if it is possible to remove background graphics from the global.iff file in the mod, so we can use any global we want without loosing those cool graphics URB team made? It seems part of background graphics is in separate files, while other part is put into global.iff and when i change global, that part background graphics is broken.

4. I was trying 1997 EOS, Mavs team has Darington Hobson in staring 11, while Suns have Davis Bertans in the starting lineup (both modern seasons players). Also noticed some starting lineups in other EOS rosters are not end of season based on http://www.basketball-reference.com lineups end of season/playoffs games. That's why my guess was those were still WIP?
