Here are the nice things about these updates:
Josh Smith's number has been updated from #42 to #5 (Happy late 39th birthday J-Smoove!)
1. Very accurate lineups
2. Officially released
3. Roster "2004-12-07" onwards adds the alternate uniforms new to the 2004-05 season (Ex. the Atlanta Hawks yellow alternate)
4. Fake Hawks rookies Tony Williams and Marcus Johnson are removed from the roster along with Rick Fox, in which I wonder why they included him if he was already retired upon the game's release.
5. Some of the 2004-05 rookies like Trevor Ariza are added even if they use generic heads.
6. Rosters "2005-03-09" and "2005-04-26" correct Josh Smith's dominant hand from being a right hander to a lefty like he's supposed to be.
Now time for the flaws:
1. Despite his jersey number being updated from #42 to #5, Josh Smith is still missing his accessories (including his headband) and his sock length is still set to Short when it should be set to Medium, thankfully the player can easily fix this and other players either have their accessories partially missing or missing completely, which can also be easily added by the player.
2. Jelani McCoy is still wearing #32 and remains unsigned on the 2004-12-07 roster, based on days before the Hawks waived him when he should be on the Hawks wearing #34.
3. Lamar Odom is still wearing #5 when he should be wearing #7, making the Los Angeles Lakers have 2 players wearing #5, the other being Tierre Brown, Brian Cook should be wearing #43 instead of #7 and DeShawn Stevenson on the Magic is wearing #2 when he should be wearing #9, making the Orlando Magic have 2 players wearing #2, the other being former Atlanta Hawk Stacey Augmon, they still have these numbers on the 2005-04-26 roster (the 2005 NBA Playoffs official roster update, the custom player trick I made a tutorial of can fix these players' jersey numbers)
4. Metta World Peace aka Ron Artest is still wearing #15 on some of these rosters when he should be wearing #91 on them. (I tried to use the custom player trick on him but highest jersey number I got for Metta World Peace was #55 therefore it's not possible to get him to wear #91, which sucks)
5. Atlanta Hawks rookies Royal Ivey and Donta Smith are not included. (I have creations of these 2 so I will post creation guides for them when I can)
Been posting a lot about this game as it's my favorite 2K of all time as it entertains me the most.
