Tony D's 2002-2003 Season Rosters

[Tony Divence]

I'M BACK! From a long hiatus editing retro rosters for PC. Now let's do a roster for a great 2002-2003 season. Oh, what a season it was, Jordan retiring for good (you choose now) and Iverson, Kobe & T-Mac posting crazy numbers! Phoenix was kind of exciting team with Amar'e, Starbury, Penny and the Matrix. Maybe Lakers will 4-peat, that would be historic!

This roster features:

- 2002-2003 end of the season roster and all the players who were on teams payroll + extras to get the 14 player minimum full.
- Correct coaches, assistant coaches and GM's
- Correct rotation minutes reflecting 2002-2003 season
- Correct salaries (contract lengths, team/player options) for a full franchise experience
- Correct jersey numbers, ages, height/weight, handedness, injury history, years pro, college & draft info, nicknames, potential and peak years
- Attributes and tendencies fixed to reflect 2002-2003 season
- Correct accessories and shoes for key players, maybe more if i have time to do (2k did a semi-good job on this already)
- Signature styles and badges
- Full free agent pool

Wow nice... now that is what I am talkin' about. With the loads of retro cyberfaces available for us online now from modders...this has the potential! I'd love to contribute to the following:

- Tendencies
- Ratings

I was successful at getting most of the starts in 2k25 retro rosters to shoot realistic shooting percentages. Such as; Iverson in the high 30's and low 40's from the field. One thing that took realism far away was guys like Iverson, Kobe, Tmac, VC shooting an absurd 50-55% from the field in 2k sim stats.

Most of the mods are unfortunately not free, so i will focus on using available resources that are free so no one needs to pay for cf's. Thanks for your offer, but i think i will handle these solo for now, but you're of course free to adjust ratings and tendencies after release and make it better

Now done:

- End of season rosters
- Player infos
- Coaches
- Salaries
- Rotations

To be done:

- Accessories, done 6/29 teams
- Ratings and tendencies, done 6/29 teams

Sounds great so far! Those rosters are no small undertaking, so I for one appreciate the efforts.
