NBA2K22 Roster Project: 1984-85 Season (PS5)

A little preview of some game action between the Celtics and Lakers. Finishing up a couple of the key reserves for the Lakers and then I'll be moving on to the core guys for the Pistons and Mavericks. Continuing to work on sliders and seem to have blocks more under control.

Looks awesome! What camera settings are you playing at?

Thanks! That's the "Broadcast Zoom" camera and the zoom slider is set to 5.

Does anyone know if I put custom shoes on a player whether they will show up for other people downloading the roster? Or do the custom shoes only work for the person that created them?

EDIT: I found the answer. Unfortunately, the custom shoes don't work on downloaded rosters. The options for the Celtics and Lakers for 1984-85 aren't that great. The Converse Weapons didn't come out until the following season and the color options are missing for what they were wearing in 84-85. I am able to the get the right shoes with the shoe creator though. So when I'm all done, I'll post pics of those and a list of which players should have them for anyone who wants to update the shoes through the shoe creator on their end too.

A preview of some game action between the Pistons and Mavericks. These two teams are interesting to work on because they both used their Center (Laimbeer and Perkins) at the high post a lot but this was before either was a really good 3 point shooter. So I had to set up their playbooks and tendencies to get them up around the FT line a lot in the offense in contrast with the other teams so far which generally had their big guys down on the blocks.

Finishing up a couple of the key reserves for the Mavericks and then I'll be moving on to the core guys for Utah and Portland. After that, I should have a good variety of teams to test with and so I'll go back and finish up the end of the bench guys on all the teams to that point that still need it.

Done with the core players for the Mavericks: Aguirre, Blackman, Perkins, B. Davis, Vincent, D. Harper, D. Ellis, Nimphius. Here's a preview. Please note that the custom jumpshots for Perkins and Harper are based on their shots at that time. As those guys got older, their jumpshots changed and became more like set shots with very little vertical. Next up, the core players for the Jazz.
