What's up 2K Community? Are you ready for another year of sim basketball? We certainly are, and this year we are ready to bring something never seen before. Like our cover athlete, 2019 NBA Champion Pascal Siakam, we want to make history. First of all, I want to thank those who helped me with the 2K20 roster (DonMontae, itsmb8, Sapp, Permatron and DancyHercules3), it was a long process but definitely worth it. Then I would like to thank all those who have supported this project, when I first posted my roster here on this forum two years ago I wouldn't have imagined that my roster threads would get 600.000 views combined, or get posted by Operation Sports, Brian Mazique or Da Infamous NY. It's a true honor for me, and it motivates me to get even better. For real, thanks to all of you!
If you liked our 2K20 Roster you'll surely love the new features we've decided to bring in this new edition. During the last year I've received so many questions about whether it was available for XBox, PC or Switch. So I've decided to open a discord server in order to organize the work and put toghether a group of users that want to help out, with the goal of having the rosters finished in the shortest possible time. We have 6 sections: PS4, Xbox One, PC, Switch and (once they're out) PS5 and XBox Series X. I'll cover the PS4 and (hopefully) PS5 side, if you want to help me or port the roster to another platform (we just need 4-5 guys per section) join our server and I'll share all the material needed and I'll be available for any questions: https://discord.gg/CKrRe3Z.
About release dates I'll update the following list based on the progression made on every platform:

Now, let's talk about the roster (and more!). In the last few months I have collected as much data as possible for over 500 players, tried and tested many formulas and scales for tendencies, badges and attributes in order to have the best gameplay possible. I tried to fill the gaps of the roster, I tried to add as many things as possible, always with the usual attention to detail, and now we can say that every single aspect of the roster has been edited and improved. Below you've a detailed list of what's edited and what's new:
DISCLAIMER: based on your platform some rosters may not contain 100% of the things listed below, but the game-chaning edits (tendencies, attrbiutes, badges, playbooks) are all included in every roster

Re: NBA 2K21 Attention to detail Project (PS4/PS5/XB1/XBSX/PC/Switch)
Welcome to a new way of living MyLeague. The ATD Project is launching his official Patreon account at: https://www.patreon.com/ATDProject. Donations will be used to fund the project (advanced stats sides like Synergy, BBall Index, Cleaning the glass, etc) while the other part will go periodically to different charity associations and projects at https://www.globalgiving.org/.
There're two type of membership available: Supporter and MVP.
The Supporter membership will give you access to my 50+ pages MyLeague, that will help you get the most realistic experience while playing the game, plus the three editing guides (tendencies, attributes, badges) with all the formulas that I've used and where to find the correct stats.
The MVP membership wil give you access to the four guides plus:

Big thanks to all the supporters, hoping to fulfill your expectations!
Re: NBA 2K21 Attention to detail Project (PS4/PS5/XB1/XBSX/PC/Switch)
That's all. I've started the thread 2 weeks before the release in order to see how many people want to help and which platform they use, so we can organize all the work properly.
Re: NBA 2K21 Attention to detail Project (PS4/PS5/XB1/XBSX/PC/Switch)
Not gonna lie a bit disappointed you are hopping onto 2k21, but good luck on the roster! Hopefully they have some sort of roster share between consoles to ease the process

2K20 will also receive updates
The UATD file is updated with the lastest stats, so the next one should come prior to the new regular season
Re: NBA 2K21 Attention to detail Project (PS4/PS5/XB1/XBSX/PC/Switch)
You already know im going straight to the MVP supporter
Lets run it back, Celt. I'll be helping out with the PlayStation side forsure, and MIGHT hopefully end up getting a PC sooner or later to help out with that side too.
