Playing Jordan Challenge with Custom Rosters ?

Has anyone found or heard of a way to play the jordan challenge with custom rosters ???

I think it should be possible once (if?) 2K Tools comes out.

we cant load a roster into the mode, even "if'" 2k tool comes out. I am not sure if 2k11 or 2k12 let us use custom rosters. I am hoping we can within a update.

If a custom roster in NBA 2K11 changed too much - i.e. trading players to and from the teams associated with the Jordan Challenge - the game would force a re-load of the default roster before you could play any of the challenges.

There's actually something interesting about this. I believe the game looks for the individual player IDs from the original classic team rosters when loading the Jordan Challenges, and not the player themselves. If my theory proves correct, you can overwrite the players with Reditor without changing their individual IDs (this is how you can get the rest of the real players in there, and the appropriate starting five for certain teams). I believe I was able to overwrite Cliff Robinson with Kevin Duckworth a while back and it worked. There's also an instance where the '86 Bulls' rotation setting would adamantly put Geroge Gervin as the starting SF over Woolridge, which would prompt the default rosters when loading The Arrival.

For 2K12, you can use custom rosters for NBA's Greatest with the Legends Showcase DLC. The DLC allowed for roster editing for the classic teams (you couldn't edit them at launch), and you could assign anybody to those teams and do resimulations of the games.

I'd say that's correct. I remember overwriting one of the fake players on the 1997 Bulls with Randy Brown using REDitor II, and it worked just fine. I haven't messed around with it much more than that, but I'd say focusing on the IDs is key.

NBA 2K23 is probably going to be tougher, since roster loading doesn't work the same way as in the older generation of games.
