D43 - Ultimate Classic Team Roster - VERSION 3 RELEASED!

Looking forward to trying out the new teams when the update comes out! Btw, how did you change the background of the team select / roster edit screen? That looks much better than the default white.

So I looked at the tutorial in 2K18 on making the crowd brighter, and I wanted to test it in 2K17 on the classic teams, and sure enough, it actually works! Here are two previews showing before and after swapped files.

Oakland Coliseum '91: (Uses current Warriors crowd. Court appears too bright; might have to use different lighting)



First Union Center '01: (Uses current 76ers crowd and lighting.)

Excellent work. Did you ever consider doing a full season mod?

When I installed your mod ...it kept crashing as soon as the main screen pops up....what do I need to do?

It shouldnt, there has never been crashing with this mod. Are you sure you installed it correctly?

yes.... I am going to reinstall the game again

No offense, but there is literally nothing in my mod pack that can crash your game. I used it the other day to see which files were included because at some point I'm doing an update. It's not my mod pack.

All you should need to do is download my mod pack, place the files in your main NBA 2K17 directory, and download the roster in game. Roster name UCTRD43.

I've had 0 reported crashes, and I literally just tried the files myself. It must be something else, or something wasn't done properly.

Note!

One thing could cause the loading to get stuck at 95% several courts require you to have your texture settings on high in video settings. If they are on medium, it will be stuck at 95% before the game.

Everything is good....the game didn't install properly at 1st

Good game there!

Hi all,

Sorry for the massive delay on V2 of this roster. My "Arena's and Teams" cheat table wasn't working over the last month or so. It was literally just showing ??????????? in the teams fields. Without that cheat table working, I wasn't able to finish adding the new teams to be 100% accurate.

Last night I got the table to work again (It randomly started working, and I wonder if it had to do with me re-pasting the December .exe in the main folder). I am able to finish the teams I was working on and put out a release shortly.

I had just finished adding the 06-07 Mavericks (MVP Dirk season). I plan on finishing up the 94-95 Rockets (Over the current Clippers) and maybe added either the 01-02 Celtics or the 59-60 Celtics (Actually considering Cousy here). At that point I would more than likely release the V2.

I know 2K17 doesn't have as many players because of 2K18, but as you know I much prefer it. Hopefully there are still a solid amount of people who would enjoy a V2 of this roster. In the meantime, I have converted numerous faces from 2K18 to 2K17, those will be included in the update. Credit for the 2K18 original will also be given on Page 1 (If it's not a 2K original).

Again, I'm probably only saying sorry to a few people here, but it's still worth apologizing for in regards to the delay. Thanks for your patience.

It's no problem for me. I'd rather have a quality update, even if it takes a while to complete, that way it ensures the quality of the mod.

In regards to a Celtics team featuring Cousy, I'd personally recommend the '62-'63 Celtics instead of the '60 Celtics, simply because of the fact that Havlicek is also present with Bill and Bob.

I know I've mentioned this in the past, but I'd like to see one of the early 70's Lakers teams to be changed, since they both have similar players on both teams, but it would be nice to have the '79-'80 Lakers team replace one of the 70's Lakers teams.

Funny you say that, I've already overwrote the 71-72 Lakers with the 66-67 Warriors so we could have Rick Barry and Nate Thurmond in the game. The problem with this is: The court ID between the 70-71 and 71-72 Lakers is automatically shared in the game.... so I have to remove the Warriors court when playing with the 70-71 Lakers, and put it back in when im playing with the 66-67 Warriors. Havn't found a solution.

Perhaps you should had overwrite current teams. Your roster is "ultimate classic teams", so...

It's not that simple.

I chose that team because of the accessory colors, which can't be changed. They worked for the San Francisco Warriors, they match. No other team in the current NBA matched, because the Current Lakers are overwritten by the 09-10 Lakers. Trust me, I would have used a current team.

If you are going super old celtics, use the '63 Celtics so we have Havlicek as a rookie. That would be an old school "big three"

Ok, i didnt know, thanks for the explanation.

Alright, almost done my 2K18 to 2K17 conversions, and am finally putting a little more time into a V2 of this roster. V2 will include the following:

New classic teams that were already in V1
82-83 76ers
10-11 Bulls
96-97 Heat
98-99 Knicks
00-01 Kings
09-10 Lakers
05-06 Nets
06-07 Nuggets
10-11 Mavericks
92-93 Suns
96-97 Rockets
99-00 Pacers
11-12 Thunder
14-15 Warriors
04-05 Spurs
91-92 TrailBlazers
95-96 Spurs
11-12 Heat


Already competed for V2:
05-06 Lakers
99-00 - Pistons
66-67 Warrors
82-83 Spurs
15-16 Cavaliers
01-02 Kings
05-06 76ers
06-07 Mavericks

Yet to be completed:
59-60 Celtics
01-02 Wizards
00-01 Bucks


That will be a total of 29 new classic teams (With 11 new for V2) that you guys can enjoy. The new teams have level of detail as the others, and the entire roster as a whole has been touched up. V2 will also include:

1. Over 40 body edits that completely remove the skinny body type from the roster
2. Over 30 2K18 to 2K17 cyberface conversions
3. A slew of ratings upgrades for players throughout the roster to make them even more realistic, also more edited signatures so players play more like real life counterparts
4. Over 50 redone, edited, converted or made accurate cyberfaces as to cut down on any "lookalikes". Most all of my added teams (29) have completely accurate players.

Also, just like in V1. All the default classic teams are filled accurately. This roster is designed for both Play Now, and MyLeague. I've never had crashing reported using my roster in MyLeague, and I do it all the time.

Working on the remaining teams this weekend and throughout next week. Thanks for your patience!!!

Note: NLSC user Trevor is making some accurate touch-ups to players like Steve Blake, Derek Fisher etc to make them more year specific. Thanks Trevor!!

Sounds like a great selection. If there's any room for an additional Celtics team, I'd suggest 2002. That's an interesting squad.

It's such a tough decision. I only have two teams that I can fill that have green accessories. 1. The current Celtics (which will be the 59-60 Celtics). And 2. The Bucks... which I think I'm going to make the 00-01 Bucks.

The accessory color issue is a pain, we can't change them. So I have to choose teams that have the right accessory colors to overwrite, and I'm running out of teams because I've added so many.
