Roster Details and Philosophy
-Tendencies were heavily tuned for gameplay purposes. In most games the CPU will make a big effort to play smart basketball and take what you give them defensively. Your defense will need to be sharp in order to stop the CPU's offense

-Each team will have either an 11, 12 or 13 man rotation

-Rosters will be accurate as of the trade deadline for that particular season

-Ratings are based off stats (where applicable) however I do not have a set scale or formula meaning there will be cases of some slight inconsistencies here and there.

-Shot volume will be taken into account for ratings

-If player had a down-year in the season, I'll also factor in their playoff production and/or previous season's production in the attribute rating

-Contested shot and speed ratings in general are probably lower than you're accustomed to. I wanted to create enough separation from the elite to the mediocre

-This roster is intended to provide a competitive and challenging experience against the CPU.



CPU Gameplay (Tendency "Showcase")

Spoiler

Each team will run their own unique offense which will be very similar to what they ran that year. I've been watching hours of footage and dissecting what kinds of plays a team runs and for who. Here's a preview of the early tendency edits I've given to the 2012 Oklahoma City Thunder (Superstar difficulty):

And the 2004 Lakers:

Finally done. Big thanks to Tgor and SonicMage. Referenced these guys' work a lot. Also thank you to freno, Zeke11, thesicnessnz, horusgrant, VizzyXV and millsmontana for various forms of help throughout the roster.


Enjoy the roster. Feel free to leave feedback and suggestions

I'm confused on how you can put the '85 sixers in the '77 76ers spot when they have completely different jerseys

Glenn robinson should be the best player on the bucks IMO. He was a much more versatile scorer and defender than the ray and sam. Also he could rebound fairly well.

I liked the short shorts lol. I just found accurate jerseys this morning though and uploaded it under my name, so you can use those.

I don't think there's any doubt that Ray was the best player on those Bucks. Their calling card was their offense and Ray was one of the most efficient scorers in the league that year. He had a monster playoff run as well. Robinson was a good offensive player but didn't have as much impact as Ray or even Cassell because he wasn't as good of a playmaker. Also, they were all pretty negligible defenders that season.

I did just give Robinson a bump in his 3-ball though. He's an 84 and slightly better than Cassell now.
