U R B - WHERE SIM HAPPENS ! 2023 Roster Preview! 11TH November

my main concern, gameplay wise, is are we finally going to get what we had with previous 2k titles in terms of team tendencies? for example, i want to see in 90s rockets or jazz or early 2000s lakers teams making actions for olajuwon, malone, shaq... not to see matt maloney and elie, or hornacek and russel, or fisher and fox as go to guys.

this issue is mostly present in 2k14, which has totally broken gameplay, but it is still visible in 2k13 as well, comparing to 2k12, 2k11 and 2k10.

With the updates to the touches tendencies and play types, you should see a pretty big difference.

those new formulas will also be included in EOS (end of the season) rosters as well?

excellent

hello，slim，I found the urb 2020 roster of 2k14 has been released on Patreon.com, do the cf files be suitable for 2k13?

@sko

- armen gilliam doesn't have a cf (issue noticed in 1992 roster);

@sko

- armen gilliam doesn't have a cf (issue noticed in 1992 roster);

also:

- karl malone has skin tone issue (arms, legs);

- darius miles has black dots;

- justise winslow has black dots;

I started pasting the newest edits into 2k13.

I forgot how much better this game is than 2k14.

Wow.

slimm44, i was wondering how would you reflect all those tweaks and edits into end of season rosters? we all know, with players changes, team tactics also changes. and as far as i understood, these changes you've made so far are only based on start of the season rosters?

Can you be more specific?

- variaty of scoring, actions, dunks, better tendencies, more balanced outiside shooting, more animations... that first comes to my mind.

but i also say previous 2k games were, gameplay wise, better thank 2k13. if there was similar mod for those games i would never play 2k14/2k13.

OK, thanks, I gone with 2k14, because I read the opposite that 2k14 have better/more fluid animations and that 2k13 was more arcade with easier scoring and more exploits...

Have the same feeling about 2k13/2k14

I never played 2K13, but by a simple look on some gameplay on YT, I can see players' moves are more fluid (they don't have that exaggerated inertia); that annoying thing of players losing ball at minimum contact with somebody else doesn't happen; offense is various, not only based 99% of times on driving to the hoop and bombing 3s; there's no blocks record stat-line for your team after 5 mins of play, while on NBA 2k14 you can set 5 blocks only in first quarter with guys like Steve Nash; moves seem in general more realistic and some specific aren't hard-coded by default, like what happens in NBA 2K14 with jab step and shot feint...don't know how people back in the day could rate NBA 2k14 superior than 2k13...

The only cons I find in 2K13 versus 2k14, as far as I can see from YT, are white spots on some shorts (Rockets and Magic in URB rosters, dont' know if fixed) and maybe the fact we can't play with sleeved jerseys (dont' know if importing models from 2k14 is possible)

I read somewhere (don't remember exactly) NBA 2K13 had a problem with blocking dunks, making that quite impossible...well, what's wrong? what happens in reality? Maybe MAYBE I've seen 10 blocked dunks in 20 years of watching basketball...

don't worry, no arcade in 2k13. if the defensive ratings (double team defense etc.) are well balanced in menue you get the right out of the game.
you also feel tough defense ingame if playing against players with the signature skill "lock down defender". you don't come to the basket that easy if you play against Ben Wallace, Bill Russell, Gus Johnson or other former defensive first teams players.

::: WHAT MAKES THIS MOD "SIM" ? :::

Here are a few of the features that set this project apart from all others:

- Every art file (jerseys, arenas, cyberfaces, accessories, courts, dornas (advertisement at half court), etc is realistic and none will crash game play
- There is no missing art file in the entire project

Every player in every roster has:
- Accurate statistical ratings and tendencies to work with 2k's simulation engine while still providing realistic game play
- Realistic ratings and tendencies that affect game play but not the simulation engine ie dribbling, athletic ratings, post tendencies, etc.
- Realistic physical attributes that decrease after major injuries or as the player gets older
- Accurate play types
- Accurate contracts

- Accurately updated Coaching profiles and playbooks

- Draft classes that have realistic player information for every player

- A few slider sets designed to be a base for realistic game play

Give URB a try and please leave feedback. We're confident that you will agree this is the most realistic and accurate 2k project there is!

Hi, does anyone have the roster of the 2018-19 season for nba 2k13? is that in the archive of retro rosters is not, sorry for my English

Unbelievable tragedy. I'm still filled with sadness.

...

hey

would you mind enlighten me how the freestyle player tendencies work?
You use Use Pick, Isolate, Spot Up & Post Up. Set Pick & offball Set/Use Pick are always 0.

1. Why don't screener bigs get Set Pick 100 (or 75), does someone automatically come to set a pick when the ball handler has Use Pick?
2. Does Isolate correspond to a players Isolation hotspots? I.e. Dirk will look to be available for isolation in mid-range area, while Nash will be at the arc? I may be wrong but I believe 2000 Shaq also has Isolate 75, so will he look to catch the ball in the mid-range area as Isolation hot spots are only in mid or 3pt areas? I've seen guys like him and Yao get the ball in the elbow area on the wing in crunch time out of time outs and it never made sense to me. Should those guys just get Post Up 100 and Isolate 0?
3. What does Spot Up mean for bigs who don't shoot. Iirc, 2011 Tyson Chandler has Spot Up 100. Does he just look to get out of the way?
4. Why is the off-ball pick variant not used? I'm giving it to Warriors' players as a test but so far haven't seen anything change in very limited minutes. I noticed, now that Curry has Use Off-Ball Screen 100 the Quick Play "Press X, Curry Get Open" suddenly works and he comes off a quick screen. That option did nothing before with his tendency at 0.


I can't get the 2007 Suns to run a P&R centric offense. Nash always passes the ball to the wing when crossing half-court and then the ball is swung around aimlessly, resulting in James Jones drives or Raja Bell - Boris DIaw two-man games. It's infuriating. I tried lowering the Pass Out tendency for Nash but it changed nothing (so it only affects what he does after picking up the ball on drives I guess?). Also increasing Drive The Lane didn't work. PG aggressiveness is still hard to achieve for me, although I got Curry doing some good stuff from deep finally.

My Touch Tendency for that team is distributed like this:
Nash 100
Amare 65
Barbosa, Marion 40
Diaw 35
Bell 15
Thomas 10
everyone else 5

Nash only has the P&R Play Type
Amare has a lot (P&R, Cutter, Mid, High Post)
Barbosa has P&R & Iso
Marion P&R
Diaw High & Low Post
Bell Mid & 3pt
Thomas P&R.

I watch cpu vs cpu games. Away teams always wins. Chicago 90s lost 6 games in a row against league outsiders)) Are these errors embedded in the game or can they be fixed?

did you watch the cpu vs cpu games in friendly game mode or in association/season mode?
I made the experience that the cpu simualtes games in association/season mode pretty realistic.
but in friendly game mode the favorite teams do not play that well, the outsider often win.

In Friendly and in Association. The problem is the advantage of away teams. Visiting Chicago beats all in a row.

I think its because of sliders you are using. For 2k14 slimm created CPUvsCPU sliders, i think slimm never created this for 2K13, must ask him and upload if there is one.

When I use the 2000 rosters I noticed a few teams have a white patch on there shorts. So far I have noticed Portland and Dallas have this problem. Is this anyway to fix this?
