OT: 2k10 historic rosters

[audienorris]

if anybody with 2k10 for 360 is interested in reliving the past you should check out my historic rosters on 2kshare. so far i have done 1986, 1988, 1990 and 1991. i have been doing very in-depth recreations of nba rosters from the 80s, 90s and 2000s going back to 2k1 on dreamcast.

i wouldnt recommend playing association or season mode with these rosters due to the fact that contacts arent accurate, teams that werent in the nba yet, free agents being signed, and a glitch where random legends vanish from the roster but for quick game they are fun as hell and increase the replay value of the game a ton.

the game only has 200 create a player slots so fully accurate rosters for all teams isnt possible. i was able to do 8, 9, or 10 guys per team though. in years past i usually just did the playoff teams and a couple other teams with full 12 man rosters. i decided this year to make every team but sacrifice the scrubs. as i make my way through the seasons and reach about 98 or 99 i will be able to do teams with full 12 man rosters. these rosters take usually a couple of weeks to make for each season and i go in order so those who want to relive the 2000 wcf game 7 will have to be patient.

i appreciate all feedback, suggestions, criticisms, questions, etc...

to get the rosters, from the main menu go to features/2kshare/download/hit Y and search gamertag "PORTLANDBLAZER"

season summary: http://www.basketball-reference.com/.../NBA_1991.html

all teams have full 12 man rosters. i used a glitch to rename current players to fill out the rosters. this glitch however caused some strange things to happen which i really have no explanation for. one in particular is i changed lamarcus aldridge to derrick gervin, a scrub for the nets. this in turn deleted the name anderson from the database. no clue why but i didnt find out until i was too far along in the process to go back and fix it. i had to go back and test numerous roster saves to find out just exactly what caused this before i found out which name change was the culprit but still cant figure out why it happened so im sure i will find more strangeness as i play more. long story short, the announcers say the number rather than saying anderson. not really a game killer but lame nonetheless. also you will notice some other strange things with the announcers saying a players previous name for some situations and their new name for other situations.

for those that want to play association, not sure if you read in one of my previous posts but i found a workaround to the vanishing legends. it might be too time consuming for some to want to do but its the only way i found to make sure all the stars are there. you have to control all 30 teams and do fantasy draft and select every player for each team.

i went ahead and did all the contracts for each player, assigned the stars in the free agent pool to the legends teams and edited the remaining free agents so you wont have the bulls signing lebron and the lakers signing wade and bosh. i also edited the grizzlies bobcats and rapters players so they wont be making the playoffs and their contracts are all maxed so they shouldnt be making any trades. i would just sim the games against these teams.

a few players are not included because they missed all or nearly the entire season. not sure what association players might want to do about this, maybe create the player in your draft class and draft him to the team he should be on or delete some of the existing caps and replace them by doing the renaming glitch prior to starting your association or season. mark price and johnny dawkins are the main ones, roy tarpley and fat lever come to mind also, lever plays sporadically over the last few years of his career and tarpley gets booted from the league for being a coke head.

i gave the bulls, sixers and warriors black shoes for home and way as thats what they wore in the playoffs that year. i know its a minor detail to most but they wore white shoes during the regular season.

i will need feedback on how people like this particular method of filling out the rosters before i decide if i will continue doing it this way. i have had a blast with this roster in the handful of games i have played, its really nice having full rosters for every team and to me outweighs the few little annoyances with the names here and there. please bring to my attention any strange occurrences you may come across.

thanks for reading. enjoy!

WILL THIS WORK ON THE PLAYSTATION3 ?

unlikely. hed have to create them all on a psn account and do the same he is doing for the live account, so i wouldnt bet on it.

exactly. i would have to own a ps3 and do all the work a second time. ps3 and 360 cant share saves crossplatform.
