U R B - WHERE SIM HAPPENS ! 2023 Roster Preview! 22ND February!

[bigh0rt]

HD faces are likely a reason for crashing.

[skoadam]

Sorry maybe u have already posted about this...Do HD faces make this mod crashing during match? I have some made by Rockprince, i.e. 8MB Kobe...it is too much? Why crashing? (just curious)

Not only this one, but every roster will crash if HD cf will show up in preview of upcomming games between quarters. Its crashing because of game code, all cfs with texture above 1024 will ctd.

[Lakeshow7]

So u say no mod matter, vanilla game itself can crash due to HD faces...i'll test bests one by one and in case game survives i'd go with CF in URB.



EDIT: Oh red ur last post just few seconds I sent my one, there's no way. Thanks for the replies guys.

Why people making these?

maybe you misunderstand me so just to be clear, its not easy to test, for example, you want to test curry face. You must start season, play game, wait till end of 1st or/and end of 3rd quarter and wait for previews of gsw future game + it must be curry in preview. If other player will show up game wont crash. This is why crashes are so random.
Im using cfs which are max 2MB, i think im using few +2MB but only for bench players(those players never show up in previews)

tbh lakers should trade every pick, even first.

Hey, just had a quick question.

Which file is it that allows that music to start at the first screen when you put the game on? That's a really nice touch that I havn't been able to duplicate.

Second, which file is it that changes the sound effects (I noticed you are using a different SFX mod than default)

Thanks!

Bringin to LA who? Things I 100% sure

-FIRE BYRON SCOTT and go for Thibo ---> solid D and new "blue collard" mentality
-Franchise must approach a long term strategy by a modern and reasonable basketball program (HC, assistants and roster, chosen and built one for others and viceversa) No more stupid marketing campaign as seen in last years (LAtoLA, farewell tour and so on...) and no more big deals without any future perspective (selling picks for a 40 years canadian guard for example)
-keep the young core intact (Russell ---> future star, combo with PG vision and on/off the ball scoring skills, natural baller; Clarkson ---> future solid starter, definitely can connect and exchange on the fly court mansions with DLo; Randle ---> future 18+10+3 type of guy, so rude but a double double digit...he needs a good "teacher" coach or staff to develop his mid and post game, improve his reading defense ability...he's too primitive in a pure basketball sense right now; Nance ---> solid bench player, elevate AI, will be a key player in case we'll go small ball during games)
-hope pick won't go to Phila (new asset, whatever could be)

Then we have to fill empty spots in SF and C positions...via draft (Ingram?) /FA (Batum? Whiteside?)

Comeback to glory will be a long term process...trade pick for principle just a speedy move without a clear target...imho
Next year we have to become a 35 wins team...realism and patience

Well i can disagree with most of your points. If Lakers will start to build new dynasty by using 2013,14,15,16,17 draft they will be done done in this decade. They should do this earlier, NOT NOW FOR SAKE. They must put money on the table like they always do and bring there someone solid. Randle wasnt ready to be starter in THAT lakers team CMON! Same with Russell. Clarkson is average player. I have no idea who the hell Nance is.
I can agree with Byron Scott, im not a big fan of this coach, but i dont like Thibb also, he have no idea about offense and in current nba you must have at least one.

[Lakeshow7]

I Know thibbs can't be ur conventional offensive genius, but he usually overpowered teams in the other end and Lakers need discipline and defensive system desperately...we can add a good staff for offense...if not Thibbs we could go with European and Italian Legend Ettore Messina, my dream choice even if not so realistic coz I dont' think Jerry Buss idiotic heirs would valuate him as a HC...
C'mon guys...Russell played most of the season dancing between starter and bench role, rarely had ball in his hands and freedom to create for himself and teammates. Scott used this guy off the ball with people like brazilian tourist Huertas running plays and other ballhogs like Williams, Young and 90 years old Kobe. They are only able to catch and shoot from outside parking without moving ball and doing any defense! Plus Scott offensive playbook has no plays, just a high screen and then random development by ball handler...Think about a passer like Russell, a mobile PF like Randle and Clarkson from weak side...u can draw a simple P&R and ur offense gets easily rhythm with this combo of athletes and skills...He's a tank commander, after one month of completely no sense in his coaching front office decided to keep him to maximize lottery pick chances, so simple and plan...don't blame young guns, they couldn't perform better in an unfair situation like this...Kobe forced to play as SF dropping twenty threes per game first games of the season LOL Young and Williams giving to the cause nothing except shot, shot and again shot...Hibbert a ghost of previous himself...no good roster around, no balance between back and front court (too many guards), a bad coach with no idea both on offensive and defensive end...and guys showed they could perform...I saw good things in many games....clearly have some flaws, consistency, defense awareness...but again tell me where u play and who's your coach, could be a whole different story! Think about Curry in his rookie year aside Monta Ellis stealing ball from him and look at now...and Thompson, Green, bench players like Ezeli and so on...Think about OKC core played the 2012 finals...only Durant was a solid 18ppg guy as a rookie, but in a completely messed up Sonics team...Couldn't be Russell able to make that as a primary offensive option? Yeah...He's having 13, 4, 4 in less than 30 minutes in a no-sense not coached team...Days ago he dropped 20+ for many games in a row....Westbrook and Harden looked as normal players in their rookie seasons...Youth needs time to develop and we haven't any appeal to pursue big big names in FA like Durant or demand a trade for Cousins...Look also at the kind of rebuilding process Celtics has made in last three years, young core, good coach, needed fits via FA...that's it. Who the hell willing to land in LA and play in a rebuilding from scratch team when he could have more winning chances elsewhere? Keep in mind this...

How do you like not most completed mod in 2k14?

How do you like not most completed mod in 2k14?

This mod is AMAZING. I made a comment on the UBR forum that the UBR is the most complete, and the reason I say that is because I use the Earlier 80's, 70's and 60's teams. They are big part of what my brothers and I love about 2K14.

Certainly not an insult to the work done here, I am beyond impressed with everything you folks do. Including the global art work, and the crazy attention to detail.

Thanks for all you folks do...

the most complete mod on early 50's, 60's, 70's and 80' is mine for 2K13.
UBR is way behind right now. it needs to be updated.

[Erchamion]

If you want to play older seasons yeah you are forced to play other mods but URB is the best there is.

1984-1985 is a perfect season to start the mod with because it's like the beginning of the golden era and a lot
of top players from the late seventies/early eighties are also still playing at a high level

Every older season don't have enough competitive teams just like today's NBA.

But this is just my opinion.

give it a try; ABA versus NBA in the 70's.

[Erchamion]

No thank you. Although i'm an older gamer those years do not interest me. It seriously lacks quality basketball. When both associations merged
the stats of most players seriously dropped. There is a reason for this...a lack of overall quality. No offence.

I prefer the seasons between 1982-1999.

[Dee4Three]

Everybody has preferences. No biggie.

When I think of best teams of all time (that include some of the best players as well), I cant exclude the 70-71 Bucks with Big O and Lew, or the 70-71 Lakers (or a primed Wilt with Philly), or the 76-77 76ers team with Serving/McGinnis/Free/Dawkins, and I obviously can't exclude Bill Russell. Too much history that I cannot leave out. Rick Barry/Nate Thurmond Combo, the classic Knicks teams as well. I could go on and on.

This mod is so awesome though because you really honed in on 84 and up. I like both honestly.

100% agree, your rosters are so detailed im still angry because i wasnt able to coop with you and include your rosters into URB 2k13. It was too much for one person.

I was just playing with you for me complete(d) mean that every or almost every aspect is accurate. For you complete(d) mean something bigger.
Thx for your kind word about URBball, im very happy when i see advanced user is impressed. For me most important differences between UBR and URB are clear.
Im sure about my rosters, because all of them was made by one person. Im sure about ratings/tendencies/playbooks/ etc because all of them was made by one person. All rosters looks and works same way. IMO good way.
Problem with UBR is one, every roster was made by some1 else. All ratings/tendencies/playbooks or coaching profiles (for last two i doubt if it was ever touched) was made by some1 else. All rosters looks and works different way. Every roster, different idea, even now we can see how many people change things in the same roster.
Its hard to agree with most completed mod, after 4years i still see wrong skin tones, headless players, wrong jerseys numbers, wrong rotations, VERY inaccurate ratings/tendencies which causes non realistic stats, blank shoes, generic shoes or really non accurate shoes + a lot of poor quality courts+ imo convertion process from 2k12 went wrong, i saw a lot of bugs in 2k14 rosters.
This is my point of view, sry if i hurt somebody.

I totally agree with you about all of that. In fact, I just saw the E.Rains on SAS in 82-83 has Jeff Greens face, now obviously that is not accurate, and I need to find a work around. Fred Hetzels Legs were black, and hes white... so I fixed that... Also some iffy CF choices for some of the players (I understand they are trying to incorporate many authors works, but some just shouldn't make it in the roster). I think the reason I can stomach it (and really get the most out of it), Is because I am pretty fluid in REDMC (Swap players/teams/jerseys/arenas/ etc etc in and out), and understand how to make the other tweaks to it. Ive also learned how to put portraits in (Learned that early 2015), so if there is a portrait mistake, I fix it. I still use Audio editor/3dm tool, NBA 2kxmod tool (yes, it still can help with editing globals surprisingly), etc. As fas as coach tendancies/playbook etc, I have gone in and worked on that myself.

Best thing is, people have a choice. I have the URB and UBR on an external hard drive and I can swap them in and out. Also, I incorporate a lot of your URB works into my own personal UBR setup (I love some of the courts/faces you have chosen, awesome). Obviously I don't share them or distribute them, but it's nice for personal use.

I wish someone would tackle the damn ESPN scoreboard for 2k14 (without logos), and NBA TV.... not sure why those were not made. Erixx used to do them, but those weren't completed.

Dee4Three, erixx made one bad thing for community, he wasnt able to share his knowledge, even when other modders want to learn and ask him for explanation. I have tons of respect for his work, but i dont like big ego modders. I really want to create long scoreboard but i even guys like Bliss dont want to help with simple thing.

Ive asked Bliss numerous times for a few of his works, but he never helps the community unless they have something to trade. I never understood that, we are all working together to make these games the best they can be. I could have said "Oh, I wont release my arena music unless I get something good in trade".... I wouldn't have that in me.

It's guys like you, and Hawk, Monzki, Rich, etc etc that keep this community alive. Not those who have giant egos.
