American Basketball League for vintage fans

Zagor,
I have about 10.000 cfs and some other thousend files. it would take too much time to separate in two parts.

Basketball Tournament of the Americas is available for New Year 2024 download.
It's combined with the FIBA Olympics 1992 roster to play the US Dream Team first in the tournament then at olympia.

download "saves", "faces-update", "courts-update" and "jerseys-update".
for national team logos download "2K13 IFF FIBA 1984-2012".

I understand you PatTheHead, then you know what I mean when I say how much it takes to download and install all the stuff. I figured that out when I had to do format of my PC few days ago.

Think about how much easier for you could be to maintain the mod in the future. I know some files and parts are already separated, but dozens of files for both NBA and FIBA/Euroleague are still in main mod parts (jerseys, courts and faces parts). And with all fantastic things you make, whole mod is becoming bigger and bigger but at the same time more difficult to download and install. I was a way too optimistic when I wrote it takes an hour on average PC to put all things together, it takes almost two hours to download and install everything with this size of the mod .

At least think about that in the future, I belive it's easier to maintain NBA files separately from FIBA/Euroleague files. And all the fans of this mod could easly downloand, install and enjoy what they love to play.

Btw, do you have a Facebook page for your mod?

Yes, it is fixed now , I thought it would be helpful for those who want to download this amazing mod.

I hope it is ok with you if I mention issue with one shoe model I observed. Well, it seems shoes that are being weared by Antoine Walker (Boston), Travis Best (Indiana) in 1999/2000 roster, Derek Anderson (Portland) and Rick Brunson (Portland) in 2001/2002 have broken/glitched textures. I belive other players who wear that specific model of shoes in other rosters have the same issue.

Excellent work Pat

Excellent work Pat

Pep, it's you and your fine NBA jerseys that make playing 2K13 a great gift.

basketball fans are always looking for new NBA stuff.
you know some of them run crazy for new stuff.

the mentioned shoes look like that?


I think that's how the shoe creator wanted it to look like.

Yes, that is the shoe model I was mentioning. When I zoom it, it seems like a Nike model, but textures are all messed up, with Nike logo breaking and spreading all over the shoe. In any case, it doesn't belong to retro rosters

Btw, are you ok if I mention some other stuff I observed that could enhance the mod if addressed? If you are ok with, should I put it here on send you a private message?

Hello. I am interested in this mod. I was a fan of Hawk23’s Ultimate Base Roster for NBA2k14 until it was taken down. For this mod, do you have to download the links in order? Thank you in advance.

Check my first post.
For NBA stuff:
First step download main folders (jerseys 1, 2 plus courts 1 to 4 and faces 1 to 5)
Second step download all updates (jerseys-update, courts-update, faces-update plus global, logos, portraits, shoes, settings)

put it all into your main folder of 2K13.

Third step download "Saves".
"Saves" is your new saves folder with all my rosters and Draft Classes in (%appdata%, Roaming, 2K Sports, NBA2K13, Saves)


For FIBA stuff:
As logos are limited in 2K13 you need to extra download
-) 2K13 IFF Euroleague 2013-23
-) 2K13 IFF FIBA 1984-2012
-) 2K13 IFF FIBA 2013-2017
-) 2K13 IFF FIBA 2018-2023

Unfortunatly you have to switch between NBA and FiBA logos/portraits.
So if you play NBA use NBA logos from "logos".
If you play FIBA use FIBA logos from "2K13 IFF Euroleague 2013-23".
Same with portraits.

FIBA World Cup 1994 is available for download.
Take your chance to become world champion with Dream Team II in Toronto, Canada.

download "saves", "faces-update", "courts-update" and "jerseys-update".
for national team logos download "2K13 IFF FIBA 1984-2012".

The US boys did it. Dream team II members with Bill Clinton in the White House in the year 1994.



Can YOU repeat???
Do not hesitate, jump into your 2K13 DeLorean and go back in time to Canada.

days, days and days back in time.

@ Andrew
I am glad we have the smilie, the does not work in time.

Let's go back to the 1960's.
The original Dream Team with Jerry West and Oscar Robertson have had a run for olympic gold in Rome, Italy.
The US boys played an exhibition game versus the New York Tuck Tapers in New York, 69th Regiment Armory, August 16, 1960.

rare 69th Regiment Armory Arena


available at the end of next week. stay tuned....

That is one of the coolest floor design I've ever seen. Great work!

May I ask why in your rosters players and coaches don't have 3pt tendency at 0 for seasons when there was no 3pt shots?

May I ask why in your rosters players and coaches don't have 3pt tendency at 0 for seasons when there was no 3pt shots?

there was always distance shooting from guards in the past.
Jerry West and many guards in the 1950's, 1960*s and 1970's took shots from the distance.
they took a lot of shots from the 3point range even when there was no 3point line on the court.
the NBA has the 3point line since the year 1979, the ABA already had it in 1967 and the ABL had a 3point line in 1961 first.

Jerry West shot a lot of threes, but his shots just counted 2 points on the scoreboard in the past. bad luck
West had a total of about 25.000 career points. had his distance shots counted as threes he for sure would have had a total of more than 27.000 points.

as many shooters scored from outside I added distance shots to their repertoire in 2K13 game.

First test game in Palazzetto Dello Sport in Rome.

Hi PatTheHead. I tried to download of your files. Some files are stored in the icedrive.net website. I got a public transfer limit exceeded message. The owner of this file has exceeded their monthly public transfer quota. I thought I would let you know. How do I get the files?
