I don't have comparisons for a lot of the older players but Shaq seems to be a tad bit underrated compared to everyone else :/

I did adjust shot tendencies and touches for all 15 legends. Shaq Is a 95/95/85 on shot/low-post/close shot tendencies and 95 on touches. I stupidly forgot to adjust the shot tendencies accordingly for his teammates though. I spent almost two hours going through and doing so for all 15 teams that have a legend and most of the other 15 teams, too.

Ahahahaha no worries man this is looking great! I love what you're doing here and I think it's a great follow for myself personally. My 2K is broken and I just plan on buying 2K12 instead of getting a new 2K11. So for me this is a great read keep up the good work man I love the concept! I can't wait to see what everyone looks like in 2 more seasons of play. Again keep this going! Also would it be possible for you to add some guys who could have been all time greats but injuries derailed there careers? The likes of Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady, Grant Hill, Len Bias (death but you know what I mean). I think it'd be pretty sweet to see a healthy Yao develop into a monster, or TMac with his Orlando days level of play (when he became one of the 5 players in NBA history iirc to have 30 PER for a season) or what Len's career would have looked like or even if Grant Hill could have continued that historic track he was on. Sorry if it's a little much I'm just wandering is all >_<

Yeah, I think I'm going to probably restart this entire dynasty. I wasn't very happy with how the first season ended with Shaq putting up such pedestrian numbers. I'm going to go through and tweak all of the shot tendencies for the legends teammates before I simulate the first season.

I'm going to try and add at least 10 players...

Oh sweet man that works either which way you do it. I like the concept and would love to see how a prime/entering his prime healthy TMac or Grant Hill would compare against these guys all greats in their own right. I know there's got to be a good Len Bias somewhere on 2kshare to download. To see guys who could have monster careers how it'd look a second time over.

This is your association and I'll keep watching regardless because this is quite interesting read. If you do add some injury derailed careers besides the obvious like McGrady, Grant Hill, and Yao you got any others in mind?

Ok, new/updated fantasy draft results on reply #5 and the 10 "what-if" players added to the original post (#1).


I'm going to go through and edit all the shot tendencies for the teammates of the 25 players I added and also re-do the 25 legends/players contracts to a minimum of 3 year deals.

Finally got everything squared away to actually start playing some games in season two.

Just some notes of things I found interesting...


-Tracy McGrady and Grant Hill on the same team

-Len Bias and Reggie Lewis on the same team

-Kobe Bryant and Penny Hardaway on the same team

-Jordan got drafted to the perfect team to put up ridiculous scoring numbers. Steve Nash is the starting point-guard and other starters are more defensive minded: Shane Battier and Emeka Okafor

-I was very pleased with the stats the 25 legends put up in year one. Almost every single one of them seemed pretty accurate to real-life.


Check the 1st page (2nd and 3rd posts) to see a recap of all 25 legends' first season.

GREAT read man! I think that season was interesting to say the least (someone OTHER than LeBron in 2k taking MVP honors WOAH) I also gotta like the way these guys are playing and look like they'll develop (Damn Jordan why you going so hard for...)

Can't wait to see what teams they go to or if they resign once their contracts are up. I can just picture Penny Hardaway and Wilt
Chamberlain Pick N Rolls lmao. Keep this up I know other people are supporting they're probably just not as vocal as me.
