It's that time of the year for eras users!

Re: It's that time of the year for eras users!

This is why I'm not getting 2k, imo mj did an outstanding job in 2k23 and 2k24 both have full and complete rosters.

Everything new is not gold and in 2k case, this new shiny paint, gone wear off real soon.

No real updates to my era mode is disrespectful, except a 2.0 news paper lol smh

2k23 and 2k24 were special for obvious reasons and it's more than enough basketball for me.

Pjt8405 talked about this on his Pete Toal YouTube channel two weeks ago

Re: It's that time of the year for eras users!

Question is when will they shut down the servers. I love playing eras in 2k24 but can't continue when the servers are down

Why? You don't need to be online to play an eras franchise. Just download and save the DNA of missing draft class guys from custom draft classes and then you can import the DNA into the appropriate draft classes when you get to that season. Gets you around the limit on the number of draft classes you can save.

Going by info out for 2K25 and the rosters, besides the Curry Era being added, nothing else significant added and instead as usual more taken out. I saw on GamingOva’s roster video that they removed the new prime Kobe cyberface from last year as well. And NO they did not remove the black tape on the classic Bulls 92-04 jerseys. Do yourself a favor if you’re strictly an offline/ERAs player and buy this game when it goes on sale. First 2K in over ten years I haven’t bought on Day One.

Thinking about buying a decent PC to run 2K again cause mods are gonna be fire

But when I want to download proper arenas and jerseys for different years I need online don't I?

Re: It's that time of the year for eras users!

Any new players in the Magic Bird era? Andrew Toney by chance?

No to that Toney still.


Some other players have new faces at least.

Well you can have up to 3 arena's and uniforms before the enable online force comes up.

As Jim said, if you save the DNA, and just import the players it'll save you alot of time.

You can technically have up to 10 roster/ draft rosters, that are saved locally meaning always in your cloud save.

Now if you go to uninstall the game make sure you do not delete your cloud back up save, in previous versions when servers were shut down, yes you would lose everything.

In 2k23 and 24 even if they did shut down the servers the game is hard coded with rosters and courts, uniforms.

So no it may not would be perfect it still would be better than nothing at all.

So to my PC brothers
Tell me what you think about MYERAS🤔
I'm jealous and want to relive the excitement I had when this mode was first introduced

Re: It's that time of the year for eras users!

Just as a heads up. Real cyberfaces for missing players along with celebrities have been up on 2Kshare since last night. Rosters are being worked on to insert all missing players by Pete Toal and a few others.

Man that's a ton of work. I don't wanna spend an hour fixing the draft class after every season, but I assume that's the only way.

I think the only reason they limit local files is to force you to buy the game every year.

I am waiting until a semi-decent roster comes around that at least fills the teams with players.

Until then I am getting back into it with quick play vs AI to learn the controls and will get into online shortly.

Re: It's that time of the year for eras users!

My favorite time in 2k ever was my 90s save with Drazens Nets two years ago and like an addict I am looking for a recreation of that feeling since. I started to worry that this won't return, especially when they keep adding half-finished eras nobody would ask for.

I am looking at the Bird era, as well as the Jordan era. My problem with Kobe is, that at this point the basketball just feels like a worse version of today, while the difference in the older eras is way bigger.

My ideas so far are the following:

- With the passing of Bill Walton it would be great to play with him in the 80s. That Clippers roster has some very interesting names next to him, but in real life it just never really clicked. Now that the post game works better again in this game they could be a great option. Build around Walton, with whoever of the younger guys work out in the end.

- 92 I am really out of ideas. I would love the Cavs team, but starting in 88 and before the Ferry trade that ruined the young core. That's kinda the only idea I have left there though, so maybe I give that a try. Trying to give Daugherty a better career would be a nice one.

-02, even though not my favorite: I think I would try again with the Grizzlies. The rise of Gasol, J-Will, Battier, Mike Miller, Stromile Swift. That is such a fun core! The only problem there is the lack of talent around the league to go for moves to improve that.

Re: It's that time of the year for eras users!

Is it just me or is the LeBron era seriously lacking in correct courts for numerous teams.

Re: It's that time of the year for eras users!

How is this mode and this year's game for people who purely want to simulate?

Haven't played a 2K since the PS4 era and I don't have any desire to play the actual game, but I'm addicted to sports sim games purely for the simulation aspect.

Edit: Follow up question -- would this mode make it possible for me to fully "reset" the history of the NBA? I would love to start in the earliest era possible, erase all records, and start a new fantasy league where the seasons are only 30ish games long

Re: It's that time of the year for eras users!

I only played the LeBron era so far but in the offseason all players lose the bird rights, makes it impossible to re-sign your own players. Anyone played the modern up to that point? Same thing happens?

I WILL say, I love the fact that they added a few more jerseys in the Steph Era that was missing. Hawks, Clippers, Jazz jerseys were added in the Steph Era and the Hornets jerseys were coded in to show up.

Still need some updates though for Kings and Nuggets.
