2k17 Roster Making Brainstorm Session - Ps4, Xbox, Pc

[Spartan Warrior]

Idea I got from the Bill Simmons Book of Basketball: "What If?" scenarios for each franchise. Stuff like:

-What if the Blazers had drafted Michael Jordan instead of Sam Bowie?

-What if the Pistons had drafted Carmello Anthony instead of Darko?

-What if the Magic had kept Chris Webber with Shaq?

-What if the Magic had landed Tim Duncan in free agency in 2000?

-What if the Grizzlies had won the draft lottery and gotten LeBron?

-What if Kobe had been traded (there are like 50 of these that you could do, Bulls, Pistons, there was even a Kobe for LeBron trade that was discussed in 2007)?

I'm just getting back into 2K after years away so I wouldn't be the right person to do this, but would be a fun idea that I don't think has been done before.

It's a great idea! Maybe after we do a season roster we do some what if scenarios?

There are so many you can do.

-The Pistons almost got Allen Iverson in a trade in early 2000s.

-The Hawks drafting Chris Paul.

-The Mavs re-signing Steve Nash in 2005.

-Celtics win the 1997 Lottery and get Tim Duncan.

-For the 1986 Celtics team you could do what if Len Bias didn't die.

-What if Grant Hill had stayed healthy? Can either do him at full strength with T-Mac or do if the Magic had landed Duncan instead of T-Mac in free agency that year.

-Jason Kidd traded to the Spurs for Tony Parker.

-What if Shaq and Kobe had been able to keep it together?

-There are a ton of Garnett ones. I think he almost got dealt to the Lakers instead of the Celtics in 2007?

-Stern not vetoing the CP3 trade to the Lakers.

-Hornets keeping Kobe instead of trading him to the Lakers.

-Michael Ray Richardson staying off drugs. Could have been an all-time point guard.

-Wizards keeping Chris Webber, Rasheed Wallace, and Juwan Howard together.

-Blazers draft Durant instead of Oden.

-Suns winning the coin toss for the 1969 #1 pick and getting Kareem.

I'm on XB1 and I can make CAPs. I'd also like to work on the all-time franchise rosters as I've been doing that the past couple of years.

Is this still happening?

Goals Create season rosters for 2016-1984 starting on opening day Create playoff rosters for 2016-1984 Create accompanying draft classes for each year Keep 2016-17 roster updated once a week throughout season with current transactions, accessories, ratings etc. Draft classes for 2017-2020 Updated draft classes after combine and draft declarations in May Fictional draft classes that compliment each other and go with 2016-17 roster Other rosters can be created off all the accumulated caps from season rosters including: Best teams of all time Best players of each franchise Best 500 players for fantasy draft And so on... Project Teams to be formed and a general timeline - Research and collecting team - starting immediately - Spreadsheet input team - starting immediately - 2017-2020 draft class creation team - starting immediately (research and starting spreadsheet) - Fictional draft class creation team - starting immediately (creating player types and starting spreadsheet) - ***Launch day spreadsheet for Sonic - starting on launch day - CAPS appearance creation team - starting after completion of launch day spreadsheet 2k editing and inputting team from spreadsheet - after caps and spreadsheets are complete - ps4 - Xbox - PC - PS3 - Xbox 360 Gameplay testing team - after editing has begun - ps4 - Xbox - PC - PS3 - Xbox 360 ***everybody needs to do this to speed up the process and give completed spreadsheet to sonic asap on launch day. We can't edit rosters until we know the formulas! Season Rosters Project Lists, Tasks and Approximate Timelines This is an updated project list just for creating season rosters. Other projects can follow a similar outline. Each portion of the roster making process is labelled its own project and has its own tasks. Projects that can start immediately (any volunteers?!) Spreadsheet template creation These are all separate spreadsheets that need to be made. Here the categories: - List of all players organized by opening day team and year (note all caps needed) - vitals - contracts - subjective player ratings, tendencies, badges - staff ratings, tendencies, POE, coaching sliders - accessories - play types and playbooks - sigs - gameplay settings and sliders Research and Spreadsheet input - vitals of all players - contracts - subjective player ratings, tendencies and badges - staff ratings, tendencies, POE, coaching sliders - accessories - play types Research and collect - photos of faces for CAP creation - pics and vids for sig shots, moves and finishes - list of transactions for each season going back to 1984 Other tasks - find spreadsheets already created from past roster makers - recruit more roster editors - assign positions and teams Launch Day Projects (9/25) - input every category, player and number value from 2k into spreadsheet - SonicMage then will apply new 2k17 formulas to past player stats to generate ratings, tendencies and badges Projects that can start after completing 2k17 launch day spreadsheet (9/26) - CAP appearance creation - post documented video and pics for created caps - identifying sig shots, moves and finishes and put on spreadsheet - go through, clean up and make note of playbook edits on spreadsheet Projects that can start after discovering formulas (10/15) - compile subjective ratings, tendencies and badges with sonic's statistically identified ratings into spreadsheet for easy input Projects that can start after opening day roster comes out (10/27) - add caps to season roster - begin editing 2k roster based on spreadsheet (team composition, players, coach settings, playbooks) Projects that can start after roster is edited (11/15) - Sim seasons and compare stats - Gameplay testing for cpu v cpu - Gameplay testing for cpu v user - edit players numbers accordingly - edit gameplay settings and sliders accordingly - upload to 2k - post roster on OS listing all settings and info

I have 2 of these complete for ps4 top 500 players all time fantast draft and all time best franchise players.
