If anyone wants to help the main thing I could use is someone to look at signature shots and try to tweak them. It's really time consuming finding footage of games from this era for all but the most famous players.

That's great can't wait for this roster how many draft classes do u plan on doing? I could help withs sigs but it might not be the best

For the 3 pt tendencies maybe put the 3 pt shot maybe put the 3 pt shot at 10-25

For anyone still following along: I think I'm at about 75%. It's getting to be a bit of a slog, and I think you're going to find that I'm getting a bit sloppy with faces and accessories for some of the really fringe players, but I think (hope!) it'll be worth it when it's done. I've been doing some playing with it and I think it plays pretty well! In particular, the gap between the great, good, mediocre, and bad players is satisfyingly realistic; the dominant players are dominant. I think you will struggle to go .500 if you play a season with one of the weaker teams, no matter how good you are at the game.

Glad to hear it is coming along. I am looking forward to the final project. Planning on playing season as 76ers and rebranding their uniforms to the 76-77 version. Keep plugging along. Your work is greatly appreciated. As far as the fringe players... I don't think anyone will mind if their faces or accessories are a bit off. seriously, how many of us can ID Kevin Kunnert or Ticky Burden in a line up???

Any Update

I am SO CLOSE. I really just need one more long afternoon with free time to finish up the base roster; I've fallen behind on the free agents and draft class but I think both will go quickly once I get back to them. I am targeting Feb. 13 for a "Beta" release and Feb. 27 for full release.

No doubt it will be well worth the wait.
