The Official Sim Roster

Let's say for example at the trading deadline the Lakers trade Bynum to the Magic for Howard and then they sign Malcolm Lee who was one of their training camp invites. Well naturally how many roster sets will have Malcolm Lee on them? Probably zero, but with ours, I downloaded his Player DNA CAP and assigned it to the free agent pool. So instead of being halfway through an association and that transaction takes place in the past you would have had to stop and start all over again just if you wanted to include Malcolm Lee into your roster, but this way you would go into the free agent pool, scroll down to a generic player dna template and begin to edit it with what you think Malcolm Lee ratings are and you wouldn't even have to restart your association you just add him right then and there into it.

Let me jump in here as a former roster creator myself. I stopped well over 2 years ago doing this so I know how much it involves. I want to take the example of Malcolm Lee that you have used. You have it mostly right but you're missing a couple points.

Most end users don't understand how CAP implementation really works. I'm talking about adding the ratings & player DNA. Sure, they can make up stuff but not a realistic CAP in the end. Take roster guys like PP,Tomba,vtcrb,etc. & they know what to do with CAP making. I too know how it works but haven't done it in a while now. I do make my own personal CAPS for rosters though but I no longer do it for the community.

The best thing to do would be this. If there is a Malcolm Lee CAP(s) on 2K Share then one of them should be downloaded & added to the roster set. Not use a generic slot to make him once he's needed. You have a full CAP by doing it this way & the end user doesn't have to worry about creating the ratings & DNA themselves.

The generic player CAPS should be saved for players that are not on 2K Share or other FA's. Maybe like players that will sign 10-day contracts later on this season or other players that are long shots to make a roster. By using player CAPS that are on 2K Share you have an actual CAP ready to use. No need for editing. That's as long as the CAP is an accurate one. Tomba,vctrb,PP,etc. could check the CAP to make sure it's what it should be.

If it's not then they can edit them a little to their liking for the roster set. The end user shouldn't be responsible for implementing the generic CAPS for players that are readily available on 2K Share. You're just gonna get a flood of request for the player CAP anyhow. Just take an already made one & there you go. He can be added from the FA pool whenever needed. That's just my opinion about how this should work but I agree with you & the roster guys about adding these players into the roster. It's a great idea! I just think it should be done a little different. Thanks!

So what? What you are just telling is that I don't have the right to share my opinion? I'm giving you a feedback, but no... you just want to hear that your roster is magnificent, even that it's not.

How can you say that cpu play realistic basketball when (using your roster and slider set) Dirk Nowitzki attempts 9 shots in 12min/qtr game? Post play doesn't exist. Cpu is getting points only from 3 points or mid range. Bigs are scoring ONLY after offensive rebounds.

I have No problem with Feedback and ANYONE that has followed OUR work will tell you I encourage it. But YOUR comment was about How much Better 2k roster was. Are you Using Sliders that were made for the Rosters? Once again your comments are directed as a Personal attack on the Roster. So as everyone who reads your Comments will Know as I KNOW you have your own Agenda here, because if you didnt you wouldn't have responded after your Initial Post. So do everyone a favor and STAY OFF the Thread, because you have already stated you dont want to play with the Rosters, so no need for you to keep commenting on something YOU DONT INTEND to PLAY WITH, since it is not up to YOUR standards.

@vtcrb:

Please go back & read my previous post about the added CAPS. I think what I had to say needs to be implemented if you guys don't care. Thanks!

It depends how you play. I set my defense, matchups, and pressure settings for how teams defend certain players in real life. With the Mav's I turn up on-ball and off ball pressure on J-Kidd and try to force him to drive. Doing so makes the CPU run the offense through Dirk. The roster is tuned so players play like their real life counterparts. If you play D and run your team like a real life team would, you see amazing games and gameplay. Dirk drops 25-45 points on me whenever I play the Mavs. There are stretches he can not be stopped just like he was in the playoffs last year. If you are seeing anomoly's, adjust your play. No need to bash the hard work of a few. Nothing you said was feedback.

I am going to discuss this with the Group. My only worry is that you are still adding Specific Players to the Pool instead of giving people an option of adding guys. We have a MASSIVE group of specific Caps that have been added. Which should include all Players that are relevant, BUT there are always guys who pop up that dont have a CAP that people will want. We just want to give people the Option to Add anyone that they want to without having to Restart their Association. I dont have a Specific count but there has been over 100 CAPs added as of right now, most of which will be Free Agents. We will give a more Specific list as we get Closer to Completion and would love feedback on if you think we have left anyone out. As you know i appreciate all of your feedback.
