What is really impressiv is how the hell did they get every roster and its former players to sign off being in the game

They didn’t

This is probably my last comment in this thread but, I am curious if the old courts will feature the appropriate signage during the Playoffs and NBA Finals in certain years. Here are some examples:

84-95 they had the year and Playoffs text logo( in 84 and 85 the NBA text was red not blue and the logo was on the right):


86-95 had this Finals logo:


96-99 they had the year in the blue box playoff logo:


96-99 Finals had this logo:


00-02 they had a slightly altered version of the 96-99 one:


00-02 removed red and blue from the gold areas:


03, 04, 05-06 had 3 different designs but I'd be fine if they just streamlined 03-17 with the logo most know:


03 had a random basic Finals logo:


04-17 had variations of the same Finals logo for the most part so streamlining works (05 and 07-09 had no trophy though):

“Created rosters are available here, and user-created draft classes are available for those die-hards out there who want to, maybe, fill the holes where we couldn’t [get] certain players,” Boenisch emphasized. And yes, MyNBA Eras will be playable for up to 80 seasons from the starting point, just like Franchise/The Association/MyGM were.

“Everything is available for people to build your own universe,” Boenisch said. That includes expanding the league to as many as 36 teams at any point on the timeline.

Obviously they wasn't able to get all of the players.

I am quite appreciative that 2k has created this feature. I guarantee it will appeal to the vintage-gamers, or simply put, us old farts.

Adults that game is a large market and in the sports gaming arena, nostalgia is a huge draw. SCEA disappointed a large portion of their customer base by eliminating the year to year saves in MLB the Show. Though it didn't stop classic roster building, it sealed off the growth of the large library of sets that had accumulated.

As an older gamer, I feel alienated quite often. I have gamed a bunch of years on many platforms and dropped thousands and thousand of dollars, so I feel there should be some sort of homage paid; what 2k is doing this year feels like homage is being paid.

I am very excited and will drop 70 bucks for this game day 1. Thanks 2k!

We’re Kelly Tripuka or Kiki Vandeweigh in the game the last few years? I haven’t touched classics in a few years? Because I saw their names in bottom of calendar feed pic in the blog. Don’t remember Tripuka but want to say Kiki was?

This resonates with me. Though, as someone who wasn't able to play The Show until it came to XBox, it bums me out to know I just missed out on some next level rosters. Still having a blast with the game anyway.

Yep, Kelly Tripucka has been in the game for a few years now.

Re: Rewrite NBA History in NBA 2K23 with All-New MyNBA Eras

I was looking at the past drafts last night and really there are only 20-30 players per draft each year with I want to say 87 as an exception where players made rosters or stuck around in the league. It might not be as hard to recreate, draft, and move players around each year to get a season right as it progresses as long as the players who stuck around are recreated only in the draft as the other players who never stuck around could be generics as far as I’m concerned as they would just move to free agency anyways. So it might not be as hard as I first thought to recreate some seasons 5-6 years after the start of an era. Plus I’m sure 2k at least got 15-20 of them right I’m hoping for each year which would mean maybe only need to create 10-15 per year?!

20-30 players per draft?
Have you seen the 84 draft? It's widely considered the best NBA draft of all time and 2k has like 4 real players in it

Sure have. You tell me how many players on that list stuck around in league. Not as many as you think. Do you count more than 30? The draft was 1 of best because of top 5. Plus do we know if 2k only got like 4-5 per draft? I’d assume they got more than that especially in year 1 of draft but who knows?

They have rights to surely at least 15-20 of those and all the familiar faces, save Charles Barkley. Looking at that list, it’s actually not deep just very top heavy.

Upon quick glance, here's an informal rundown of notables from that draft:

Hakeem, Bowie, MJ, Perkins, Barkley, Turpin, Robertson, Thorpe, Wood, Willis, McCormick, Humphries, Cage, Stansbury, Stockton, Turner, Fleming, Campbell, Ron Anderson, Colter, Danny Young, Kersey, Peterson, Carlisle, Wilkins (Eddie Lee), Bannister

I plucked the 26 or so guys from that list that either carved out a real NBA career (more than just a year or two at the end of the bench) or were otherwise notable (my dude Terence Stansbury).

Of those 26, I feel pretty confident that 2K has the rights to eight of those guys (Hakeem, MJ, Perkins, Thorpe, Willis, Stockton, Turner, Kersey) and I can't recall whether they may have some MyTeam or end-of-bench additions for guys like Robertson, Cage, Colter, Young, and Carlisle.

So, if we assume that last batch isn't included anywhere in the game, then we'd be talking about 18 or so players left out of those initial 26 that'd need to be made in order to add all the legitimate rotation pieces from that particular draft. And if any of those other guys are already in the game that I missed (or added this year), that number would be even lower.

That said, I also imagine there's going to be some particularly enterprising folks who'll want to go even deeper, including guys like Stuart Gray and Steve Burtt, which would only flesh things out even further.

Exactly my point. It’s the same with most of the drafts too. Remember there were only 23 teams back then so not as many spots. I think the big 1 is getting the 83 roster with no generics and then ride it out. The draft shouldn’t be too bad.

Terrence Stansbury ex sonic 87 dunk contest and his Statue of Liberty dunk! Lol I was at that all star game that year when it went to overtime. 1 of best all star games ever! I was 12 Man the good ole days

Re: Rewrite NBA History in NBA 2K23 with All-New MyNBA Eras

One of the things I’m really interested in is the undrafted players, such as Ben Wallace, and how high…or low…they will be ranked in their draft class.

Re: Rewrite NBA History in NBA 2K23 with All-New MyNBA Eras

I also wonder if 2k finally put potential caps for the attributes progression system I don't wont every good 3 point shooter to reach 99

Please add a this or similar system 2k. MyNBAeras wont be right if all the 80s guys or players like wade develop into have 90+ 3pt ratings
