Messed up. And I hope they don’t add this as a “feature” in 2K24. I was hoping that this would have been added in the latest patch update but oh well.

      This game had so much potential and I love all the added content and features, but…. There are so many little things like this that just add up and really kill it for me. I feel like I turn this game off out of frustration more than any 2K I’ve played and that’s unfortunate because all the “retro” **** they added was what I’ve wanted for years.

      I’m still pissed you can’t edit coaches anymore. CAP is still like 10 years behind, you can’t even pick a body type for ****s sake. Every time the game updates my CAPs **** up. It’s just been a constant battle with this game.

        First off, I was up two with 10 seconds left and this is what the CPU Hawks drew up.

        That led to OT where Atlanta pushed their lead out to two possessions before back-to-back Dale Ellis threes closed the gap.



        Then in the second overtime, Ellis pulled on Randy Wittman again, at which point I was informed that he'd broken the NBA's single-game 3-pointers made record (at the time), by hitting his ninth.



        Atlanta wouldn't go away and held a two-point lead with 15 seconds left. I desperately tried to manually intentional foul but failed successfully after Nate McMillain picked Doc Rivers' pocket and called time-out, which ultimately led to this.

        My only regret is leaving a second on the clock because I love the beauty of a proper buzzer-beater. But I hung on for a satisfying win and didn't check the box score until the post-game, at which point I realized Dale Ellis had finished with 53 points and 10-of-16 threes (about six more than I'd made with anyone else in MyEras). Wilkins finished with 45.

        I found it all to be a neat little parallel to what Ellis did in real life in '89, when he scored exactly 53 points in a quintuple overtime loss to the Bucks in which he played 69 minutes. Wild box score that night. https://www.basketball-reference.com...911090MIL.html

        So, shout out to the Silent Assassin.


        This is random but I’m assuming you’re doing this in era mode and controlling every team and editing all draft picks?

          You got it. Outside of the slider tweaking that comes with every gameplay update, it's easily one of the best video game basketball experiences I've ever had. It's basically a walking history lesson. Editing the teams each offseason and running through the draft is half the fun for me (and for those who don't enjoy that aspect, I upload a "scenario" at the start of each season so folks can just download "1988" and start from there).

          I run everything just about by the book except I've made one or two executive decisions because in the end, it's my reality. First, since David Robinson is my favorite player, I created a timeline where the Navy sends him to the league right away (rather than having him serve two more years).

                My gamertag is Swove, on XBox.

                I'm uploading Scenarios each time I start a new season. I'm not sure if there's a specific "Scenarios" download section or what. I don't even know if they work. Just from what I've been told, it lets players begin their Eras at certain points, so my hope is mine allow gamers to start in the '85, '86, '87, '88, or soon to be '89 seasons with accurate rosters.

                  Is there a fix for CAPs that look fine in the edit player screen but awful on the roster menus and in game?

                    Someone said export their dna then import it right back.

                      Edit a CAP in a generic 2K draft class then export his DNA to import onto a roster.

                      This way, the CAP will only look weird in the Player DNA menu, but will look as they were created in all other menus as well as in-game. If there’s an existing CAP you wish to remedy, try importing his DNA onto a generic prospect in a 2K draft class, complete changes and back out of player edit screen (remain in draft edit menu). Select edit player again and export. I think that ought to fix it, not sure though sorry. To be safe you can also re-create the CAP’s appearance in a draft class and import it onto the existing CAP.

                            Search “GR41” for the player name.



                            Also you might want to recreate him because I can’t remember what template this started as but they called him “Jaylen Brown” at least once when I was testing the face in game… and this doesn’t have accurate bio, ratings, shot, etc. basically just the face.

                              The other day I read that Ledell Eackles, Harold Miner and Caldwell Jones are also in the game. But where can I find them?
