Problem with the staff name

Mon Jan 05, 2026 7:04 am

Hi everyone, when I'm working on team staff names (I try to be as accurate as possible), every time I save, the system changes them. This is very frustrating. Is it possible to circumvent this fix? I've tried adding symbols, etc., but it doesn't change anything. Help!! Thanks!

From since the 2k24 Servers shutdown I have been having issues with name changes too

Solution
I had to install the "HOOK" and use the 1.2 exe for 2k24 to get my name changes to save.
It seems 2k / Take 2 wants you to buy NBA 2k26 so they put a bug in the EXE that does the name change glitch...

You might be able to use the newer 2k24 exe after you do all your changes but make a Back Up of your Rosters to be sure. (Y)

Thanks for the reply. So... I backed up the roster. I had already installed hook, I downloaded the 1.2 exe file. But nothing changed. When I change the name of the coach, assistant coach, GM, governor... as soon as I save and load the roster, they change names. I think there's a database of allowed names. It's frustrating because I had corrected all the staff names for all the teams. For example, Rob Pelinka always changes to Rob Muscala.
Do you have any ideas?
