Re: Trifecta 2k14 Project (XBOX 360)

Hey guys, I've been lurking around following this for a few months now and I just want to say that I love what you're doing here and I appreciate all your hard work. I've been playing sports games since I was a little kid (Super Play Action Football, anyone?) and it's awesome to see other people who are also so hungry for a good sim type experience. I stopped playing for the last few years because as I've gotten older and started paying more attention to the little details, I realized that I just wasn't satisfied with what I was getting from most games. I didn't feel like the games were built for me. It felt like they were built for the casual bonehead who curses a game to hell and stops playing if they don't win every single time. However, discovering your project has breathed new life into my enthusiasm for sports gaming.

Anyways, I've got a few questions about how you guys manage your associations.

1. After you change the minutes rotations to produce good sim stats, is it possible to have the cpu manage injuries without rebuilding the rotations every time someone gets hurt? Or am I responsible for taking care of every injury in the league?

2. What do you do about the players that get pissed off and demand trades because of their lack of minutes? I've been using the opening night rosters and noticed that after 2 months of the season with adjusted rotations there are loads of guys that want to get moved. Do you ever do trades for the teams other than the ones that you play as?

3. What do you do for the rotations when the teams get shuffled up after a year or two? Stick with the amount of minutes that the player had on their original team? Or readjust it so that it looks like it makes sense for the new team and call it good?

4. How are the team stats coming out for people who have started an association with the roster? The only one that has stood out to me so far is blocks per game. I have the thunder blocking 10.1 a game. It should be closer to 6. The Pelicans and Thunder lead with 6.3 in the real NBA this year. Any thoughts on ways to correct that?

5. I also heard someone say that setting certain guys as scoring options in the total sim control screen will throw off the individual shot tendencies that you guys put so much time into fixing. What's the consensus on that? True or false?


The game play is awesome! I've been using your sliders with a few tweaks to help compensate for how piss poor I am at passing. I still lose most of the time though, so it's alright. If I start winning I'll dial it back to where it was. That's what we are, right? Gamers who play with the hopes of losing as least as often as we win, if not more? A sick breed we are.

Glad to hear you are enjoying the project. I apologize for delay in responding to your questions.

1. You can set the Tasks you want the CPU to Control. You can do it Once you start YOUR Association. Go to OPTIONs then ASSOC Customization then choose whatever you want CPU to control. Be careful CPU does CRAZY stuff if you give it control. ONLY thing I let CPU control is Prospect Scouting, Pre-Draft Workouts and Training Camps for the teams I am not controlling.

2. I cut OFF PLAYER ROLES and TEAM Chemistry.

3. You have to Readjust as you see fit, with New Signings

4. Varies per USER. Total Sim Control, Rotations, USER Games, everything factors in. I worry more with the Player Stats, then Team Stats are even harder to get Perfect.

5. Never seen it happen. Reason being I Set Player Tendencies to REFLECT Total Sim Control. Not sure how other Roster guys set theirs up.

I hope this helps. Look forward to hearing more feedback.

I'm becoming more and more concerned about EagleRock guys. We haven't heard from him in a few days. Maybe he's sick or something else personal is going on. I just hope nothing serious has happened to him. Thanks!

He is ok. I talked to him a few minutes ago. I think he will be posting by the end of the day, letting you guys know where things stand.

Re: Trifecta 2k14 Project (XBOX 360)

I'm sorry, I am having some problems and was hoping someone would be kind enough to help me out.

Simply put, I followed the steps but am not sure if the rosters actually changed.

Can someone give me a player to check ratings of? Such as a player that had his ratings drastically changed or any other way for me to tell if the Rosters actually took effect.

Also, do these have ANY barring on MyCareer mode in terms of how team mates play?


Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it. Happy holidays everyone!


Edit:: The sooner the better in terms of help. I decided not to play til I get the rosters changed and am getting the itch to play. Thanks again everyone.

Did you Download it from 2k Share? If you did, After you download and SAVE it, THEN LOAD it and Save it AGAIN on your Hard Drive or Memory Card. If you do that you will have right Roster. Check Amare Stoudemire on the Knicks he should be a 73 Overall Rating.

As far a MyCareer, not sure I dont play that Mode, but others say it works fine with that Mode.

Let me know if this helps.


EDIT: BE SURE to search by Gamertag. VTCRB Something is messed up with 2k Share, they have some Roster files under WRONG Gamertag

Re: Trifecta 2k14 Project (XBOX 360)

Thanks for the speedy reply. I actually downloaded it from the link in this thread. "Trifecta Shoes" is the name I believe.

Is it easier to just get it from 2kshare? (Which i assume is an ingame sharing process?)

Thanks again, ill try it now.

Just check Amare and you may already have right file. 2k Share is easy as well. Let me know how it works out.

Re: Trifecta 2k14 Project (XBOX 360)

The file I had was with Amare at 82 so I guess it didnt work. Im on 2kshare (360) right now.

When I search for "Trifecta" Nothing comes up in terms of Rosters. Just draft rosters (which I assume isnt the same thing).

Sorry for the silly questions. Still new to the roster updating thing. Thanks again for all your help thus far.

Hit the Y button and Search BY GAMERTAG. Mine is VTCRB Download the TRIFECTA Shoes file. Then Save it. THEN exit Out of 2k Share. Load the Roster and SAVE it Again.

Re: Trifecta 2k14 Project (XBOX 360)

You have been a great help VTCRB. I got the roster and checked on Amare and he is 73. So all seems well in the world.

Thanks again for all your help and the time you put into the community with the rosters and all.

Re: Trifecta 2k14 Project (XBOX 360)

First off, Happy New Year to everyone, hope you all have enjoyed the holiday season. I just returned from my varsity teams trip up north that was a last second put together, as the players didn't want go drive up and back for a game, they wanted to stay a few days so we did. I have been continuing to work on the association file and I appreciate everyone's patience when it comes to that as most of you know I take my time and make sure that everyone thing works properly before sending anything out. I would rather I catch any bugs or glithes before hand before I send it out to everyone. For those of you who have sent me their e-mail addresses I do have them and have logged them into my mailbox. I have taken the time to look take the file with the staff changes I made so far and good news there were no glitches or freezing issues, so all the ID numbers match up from last years game so the staff section is about half way done. Barring any unforseen circumstances I should have the next few days before we return from winter break to finalize it.

Re: Trifecta 2k14 Project (XBOX 360)

Regarding the correct draft debts, I honestly don't know how can Eaglerock do that in the Association template file, I tried and it's mind-blowing because you can't just trade a pick from a team to another without having some other asset involved, and the protected picks make it all even more complicated.
I'll evaluate on Draft Day, looking at that page and will make the pick trades I think could happen IRL

set up the trade to trade the desired pick and a second rounder for a second rounder, then trade the second rounders back to the teams they belong.

So to give the Celtics the Nets 2014 first rounder,

Nets Get:

BOS 2014 2nd rounder

Celtics Get:

BKN 2014 1st rounder
BKN 2014 2nd rounder

then do a subsequent trade:

BKN Gets

BKN 2014 2nd Rounder

BOS Gets

BOS 2nd Rounder

if that makes any sense. That's what I do.
