Hi Eda,

Is that possible to convert Jasikevicius, darjus lavrinovic and kleiza's cf to nba 2k22? I would like to play with them on 2k22 too.

Of course possible. You have my permission if you want to do it.

Unfortunately I dont know how to do that.

Neither do I. What I did was found for people who could work on faces. You can try and post a request

People who worked with me won't do it for sure.
I'd honestly start a REQUEST thread in the 2k22 section.

First of all, congrats on a mod, and an idea for a topic. It has some interesting SPORTS texts and facts.

But, second of all,

Olympic history lesson #8: Freedom

1
At the beginning of 90's Croatia was still one of the six republics of Jugoslavia federation. The crisis emerged when radical nationalists came to power in Serbia, claiming that all the Serbs in Croatia are being threatened with genocide by the Croat majority. At that time Croatia was going through democratic changes which by a new Constitution would guarantee the minority rights, including Serbs in Croatia. Political leadership from Serbia used agressive propaganda and they sent a Jugoslav national army to occupy the territory of Croatia where the Serbs were living. That is when the Homeland war started and Croatia had to defend their independence proclaimed in October 1991. The war ended in 1995 when Croatia liberated most of its territory. At the beginning of 1992 the UN-sponsored ceasefire was agreed. Croatia was officially recognized by the European Community on January 15, 1992. Croatia became a member of the UN on May 22, 1992.

you don't know shi*t about war in Yugoslavia, nor everything that led to it (starting from Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes or simply Kingdom of Yugoslavia, back in 1918-1919), so this is pretty much one-side rubbish, that I also think doesn't belong here on video-game/sports forum. And if you already want to write some history facts feel free to write that between 300k-500k Serbs living in Croatia were killed, including women and children, during WWII, by Croatian radical nationalists, who came to power in Croatia after Titos death just like radical nationalists in Serbia did. And you can also write about many more Serbs taken away and tortured in concentration camps (like Jastrebac). About thousand of Serbian children killed there... It is easy to write rubbish from far away Lithuania, while never experienced civil war like that and not losing loved ones (counts for both Serbian and Croatian side)...

Whats the point pretending eda dont know shit ?
Atrocities committed by the other sides before (during WWI/II, before Tito's death or USSR implosion) can explain the Yugoslavia War, but should not be used as an excuse to justify a genocide.

You cant hate it, but from Europe (and US i guess), the war in Yugoslavia is linked to the "ethnic cleansing" practiced by the Serbs.

One of my best friend back then was Bosnian and fled the war ; So guess what, from his perspective, he would not agree with you.
I also remember visiting Croatia few years ago, the traces of the war are still visible ; At the end it must have been been terrible for most civilians.

[Wolfy03]

As I said, the topic itself doesn't belong here. If I was in his position i would write how much amazing player Dražen was (and not dedicate him only one sentence, you have a hole paragraph on a war but one sentence on a probably the GOAT of Yugoslav basketball), how good Radja and Kukoč were, and other guys as well, and not throw some political propaganda (with little knowing of facts, especially other side of story) here stating someone, in this case, mine country, Serbia as main world villans and Serbians (and only Serbians) as genocide people.

You have mentioned "ethnic cleaning". Ok. Do you know how many victims were in Srebrenica? 8732. If it was only 1 victim, it is not ok, not good and persons who did that should be prosecuted (as in the end they were, but also they were many villages in Bosnia where Serbs were majority and similar things happend while almost none of oposite generals and armys were found guilty.. but I won't go there now). But what about 500k Serbians in Croatia then as I mentioned before? That is what? I guess for Europe and US that's ok, sure, no problem, just 1/14 of nation, they'll get over it. Never heard anyone calling that genocide or "ethnic cleaning"...

I never said that Serbian authorities were not responsible (I have never supported radical nationalists, nor I do now), but they were not sole responsible for what happend. Same responsiblity goes to Croatian and Bosnian authorities as well. Same responsiblity goes to "Yugoslav" authorities before that, led by Tito, who made many mistakes in leading the state. And yes, you have to look for a bigger picture because war in 90s was just a final act, and series of events led to it. It wasn't like we were all living in love and peace and then one day bad Serbians went on to kill and occupy. You don't know that because you don't know Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian, Yugoslav history in general, as I don't know French or Lithuanian history that much except of some general knowledge. But hey you don't see me talking about something that I don't quite know. And if you want to analyse something right you go to the beggining and not the end. Problems emerged at the beggining, back in 1919. They were minor ones, sure, but were present. With WWII it happend what happend. Then Tito came, for 15-20 years radical nationalists were quite and peaceful, but with the beggining of 60s we have first sights of re-uprising of nationalism. Conclusion was in 90s with civil war. When you get to know everything that happend in that period of time of 70 years from every side of view then (maybe) you can conclude some things.

And as for your friend, I feel bad for him, but he wasn't the only one. Many Serbs and Croats faced same hard time as he did. And if you visit Serbia one day you will also see some war ruins, as in Bosnia as well. But the point is you can't blame only one side. It is offending and rude. And the topic itself doesn't belong to this kind of forum.

[sticky-fingers]

it may be clumsy but i think it was necessary to explain why one of the best european team - Yugoslavia - splitted in different countries.
I understand that depending on which side you are on, perspectives arent the same (ask Japan about the 2 US bombs in 1945...).
But a civil war is one thing, a genocide is another. One genocide is not an excuse for another genocide.
About the 500k Serbians in Croatia,which mean persecutions, deportations and massacres perpetrated between 1941 and 1945 by the Ustasha, you-re right it seems to be unfortunately a forgotten genocide for the international community.
Time will perhaps correct this. Take a look at the Armenian genocide, it took more than a half of a century....

[eda]

Wolfy03, I'll try to make it as simple as possible:
1. This is my mod and I made a decision on how to present it to the cimmunity. It doesn't only concentrate on the sport itself as you have already noticed.
2. As for the part of the Croatian history, the text was written by Croatian history teacher. So, it presents only one side of the war which probably made you angry.
I wouldn't want to continue this topic.
The fact is that Croatia same as Lithuania could wear their country Jersey.

[eda]

Wolfy03, on the other hand, you know what, F you dear friend.
All I want is for people to know how difficult and how life changing it was for certain countries to be part of certain Olympic games.
I never intended to post any info that would raise doubt. That is why I contacted people who KNOW history and asked them to write a short paragraphs about that era.

If I was wrong, write to me and I will fix it dude.

Sorry, but as for now, it feels like you have found a way to release your anger (that you've kept for so long) instead of helping THE TEAM to show the real course of events.
War if BAD, whatever the reason is. It is fight, blood, death if innocent people and it is WRONG. We, mature guys know that.
In the end, we at least try to let the world know through games, what have you done so far?!




ps.I am sorry as it might be emotional. I am emotional, however, I will not tolerate this type of thoughts.
First, try to tell me I was wrong (If I was)before you spill dirt all over the place. I don't know you and You don't know me, but You allow yourself too much.

Of course that this is yours mod (and topic) and that you have right to present it to community in any way you like but not in offending and rude way to that same community (or some part of it). As it would be rude and offending to Croatian people too if you just posted Serbian side of story written by some Serbian history teacher.

And not to mention there was like millions another ways to write that text without even insulting anyone, without pointing fingers and saying "that are the bad guys, killers, murderers and occupators" (while doing that without presenting the other side of story)...

But there is one good thing that I've learned from this. On this forum "Rules" exist just as one more extra page of website, and in practice anyone can write anything they like, without even saying sincere "sorry" in some situations like this. Yeah, sure it got me angry. You woudn't be, if I called Lithuanians nazi collaborators and fascists? And I could do that really easily based on some stories. But I won't, because I don't know that other side of story and one thing is for sure I won't argue anymore (I don't want to spam, 3 posts is more then enough from me, and I know that no matter what I write no one will in the end say at least that small sorry. As I can see we came to the f word already, good for you pal... But I am the one who's angry, frustrated, the one that keeps anger inside and just waits to explode... At least I've never said anyone to go f himself... And the ps is just great, apologies for being emotional, but the f still present literally 10 rows before that... As you partly apologies for that I partly accept it too). If you don't want to see literally two posts that I wrote before, explaining other side of story and that there are no good sides in this war (innocent people from all sides lost their lifes while Milošević, Tudjman and Izetbegović became war profiteers), we don't have anything more to discuss (but you can't say that I haven't noticed you about being wrong at things, cause I've literally done that). Maybe I went over it with that shi*t in first post sentence that I've made on this topic, if I did sorry for that (mine intention was to point out that, that topic is really sensitive for everyone in Balkans region and shouldn't be discussed that way, especially for one who haven't heard much about it(as I assumed back then that you wrote the text, and not that someone else wrote it for you, which is even worse, to be honest, cause now you are defending something that you haven't even write.. at least everything that I've wrote down comes out of mine knowledge, what I have red and heard and in the end most importantly what I've experienced. I live 40km from Croatian border just for the record)). You wanted me to PM you first? Sure, I could have done it, I can copy paste these to posts and send them over to you now, if you want... If you wanted you could have already changed that post billion times as you could have consulted Serbian history teachers as well before writing it in the first place. You haven't done that, and it is clear that you don't intend to, so let's face it, sending some PM wouldn't solve things out, I would just have got "F you" in PM, instead on public forum where everyone can see it. And I don't care about it, I stand behind everything I've ever said and wrote. After all, this is a forum, and not social newtork so, I am not obliged to contact anyone via PMs. Anyways, I am done with this topic and probably forum in general, since I've stopped making mods last year and really there is no point in being here just to read stuff like this here on something that should be a video-game related forum (where we all come for the passion of 2K, NBA Live etc and the modding community). So, I guess that makes one less "bad guy" here. As Al Pacino would say in cult film Scarface, "say goodnight to the bad guy".



Sticky, you got most of the things right now, but as I already said there was like millions of other ways to write that.

Olympic history lesson #10: 1988 - Unified Dream Teams and the Young Americans

Yugoslavia and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR)
were two former social states that competed against each other in the Olympics. After qualifying for the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, the two teams put forth their best players. Prior to the countries within the two socialist states breaking apart, they arguably built dream teams of their own. The Soviet Union had athletes from Russia, Ukraine, Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia. Conversely, Yugoslavia contained players from Croatia, Serbia, and Slovenia. Athletes from these locations competed under their respective socialist states prior to their independence.

USSR at the time had some of the greatest players outside of the United States with the likes of Arvydas Sabonis, Tiit Sokk, Sarunas Marciulionis, Rimas Kurtanitis, and Valeri Tikhonenko. The team was coached by the father of Soviet basketball, Alexander Gomelsky. The team consisted of seasoned veterans and dedicated teamwork for disciplined basketball. Sabonis proved to be an overachieving player, dueling the likes of an upstart David Robinson to guide the Soviets to a gold medal victory. Even after their dissolution in 1991, they remain one of the most successful teams in international basketball history.

Their silver medal rivals, Yugoslavia proved to be a difficult challenge to overcome. After World War II, the team became a serious contender, capturing 5 Olympic medals and 8 World Cups. Coached by the late Dusan Ivkovic, the Yugoslavian team featured the big three who eventually played for Croatia: Drazen Petrovic, Toni Kukoc, and Dino Radja. Alongside them was Vlade Divac, who was a Yugoslav League champion in 1987. Petrovic was a fast-rising star and had all the necessary skills to be a deadly scorer and perennial key to Yugoslavia's success. Regarded as one of the black horses in the Olympics, Yugoslavia placed second in the Summer Olympics of '88, only losing to Puerto Rico and the Soviet Union in the gold medal game.

Following the events within Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union, various countries within eventually gained independence and would gradually compete in the Olympics for their own pride. Starting in 1992, Croatia and Lithuania would be among the first two countries to participate. Russia qualified as their own country in the 2000 Olympics. Serbia (allied with Montenegro) would qualify for the first time in the 2004 Olympics. Finally, in 2020 (played in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic), Slovenia would make an appearance at the Olympic Games in Tokyo.

[
The United States
was always the favorite for a gold medal victory, even with the ban of NBA players. Following their victory in 1984 led by Michael Jordan, the USA easily qualified for the 1988 Summer Olympics.

The team consisted of young talents such as future Dream Team members David Robinson and Mitch Richmond. The leading scorer for the young American team was "Thunder" Dan Majerle, a three-time first-team All-MAC player, and the 1988 USA Basketball Male Athlete of the Year. Also contributing to the team was Danny Manning, who helped the Kansas Jayhawks win the national championship in the same year. John Thompson coached the team, notable for leading the Georgetown Hoyas to the NCAA Division I championship in 1984. While inexperienced against some of the veteran players competing in the Olympics, the United States had an advantage with incredible athleticism and youth. Robinson's imposing 7'1" stature, college experience, and service in the Naval forces played an effective role at the Olympics, averaging 12.8 points, and 2.4 blocks per game. Early on, the Americans dominated their way to the semifinals.

The United States faced the Soviet Union in the semifinals in a rivalry extending beyond the Olympics. In a shocking turn of events and a great performance by Arvydas Sabonis, the United States lost to the Soviet Union 82-76. This marked the first time in history that the United States didn't reach the gold medal game, but they would defeat Australia for the bronze medal.

Ultimately, it was the United States who would get their revenge, as the ban of NBA players competing at FIBA and Olympic events was overruled in 1989.

Thank you to:
RayRay_953 for beta testing and adjusting the roster, for compiling the whole info of the lesson as well as the preview screens!
Arnau Lucena for jersey and number corrections!

[RayRay_953]

After extensive beta testing of the roster, I'm proud to announce with eda's permission that Version 2.0 of the Olympic Basketball History mod has been RELEASED!



Ladies and gentlemen, you've already experienced some great action in 1.0, but you haven't seen anything yet! New teams have been included, and they're hungry for competition, so be sure to bring your A-game! We've got unified dream teams, youngblood talents, and seasoned veterans all present in 2.0. In this new update, you'll find some huge quality of life updates, new teams, and a lot more history lessons to repeat! Eda and I have spent a bunch of time negotiating what teams to include, how they should be featured, and ways to expand this mod even further. What started as a suggestion for a mod turned out to be a successful project, and the team behind this should all be proud of themselves. Without the collective minds of everybody working together, this wouldn't have been possible, so once again, congratulations to the OBH team! Here's a small portion of what to expect in this update:

- 8 new teams; complete with accurate jerseys, logos, courts, and murals! ('84 USA, '88 USA, '88 USSR, '88 Yugoslavia, '92 Croatia, '96 Lithuania, '16 France, and '20 Argentina)
- Accurate arena names; now every Olympic team has the authentic arena name based on the year they competed, and no longer displays "Team USA"
- Fixed announcers addressing teams (USA is referred to as "USA", and the other countries are called the "Visiting team" and "Home team")
- Various signature and tendency updates so players should play a bit more like their real-life counterparts
- "Is it the shoes?!" Yes, it is! Various players had their gear updated for further accuracy.
- More surprises in the game; you'll find out yourselves!

You can download the required Waigua and Hook config files HERE

I was to write a smile emoji after my sentence which would make my sentence more friendly, but since I'm learning to avoid emojis it might have sounded different.
After all, my mod is based on your roster
Details, yes. Quality and detail is the criteria for the work I do. Can't enjoy the mod until it's the way it should be.
Thanks for a good word

[RayRay_953]

It's come to our attention that we're missing some Boomers

Stay tuned...

[chule]

I have a big problems with the roster. When I go to create new roster and download this one, I can see all of the teams that are created. When I go to 'play now' or 'my career' I can see only USA team, and few of the dream teams on the list of 'all time teams'.
I installed everything as it said. Am I missing something?

[RayRay_953]
