NHL 2k21 - Clean Slate Roster

[rangers9911]

For the Xbox 360.

This is my “clean slate” roster for NHL2k10 (if you don't know what that means, take a look at my original progress thread here). Over 800 NHL players plus certain prospects have been created by overwriting players for appearance and/or play-by-play names. Each player has correct: height, weight, number, shooting hand, and nationalities. This project took just about 3.5 months from planning to initial release. More updates may be coming as they become necessaey.

AS A NOTE: This is meant to be a base for roster creators to use in the future with a clean(er) database than files that have been used up to this point. Ratings may not be the greatest but, can always be changed.

Initial Release notes:

I am NOT a ratings guru and will never claim to be. Overalls in this file were not a main focus. Each player was rated based on individual ratings in categories more than overall. Goalie ratings have been created using shogun’s goalie edits as it has created a more all-around experience for better goaltending (in my opinion).

Some other notes about this file:
- File is good for quick game, season mode, playoffs, etc. Franchise is completely playable but birth dates and salary cannot be changed. You’ll see a lot of players retire after a season,
- Winnipeg and Vegas have been created
- Minor league teams are filled with some prospects that have been created and older retired players.
- All minor league teams have the following breakdown of players allowing teams to not hit limit: 12-13 forwards, 7-8 Defense, 2-3 goalies
- Transactions, waiver claims through 3/18/21 have been completed
- Lines for each team should closely resemble lines from 3/18/21 (minus those players that were not created).
- Visors have been added to all players except those that do not wear them (found a list on reddit- don’t remember their username but thank you!)
- For those interested, I've included the CSV for anyone who wants to see it or try to see if it is compatible with the PS3. You'd need to use snowdrift's 2k10 utility to import into your PS3file

Added to Roster Updates thread.
(...and thrilled to be able to post this)

[rangers9911]

Things to fix:
A. Rosters
- Dan Hamhuis is active for Nashville. That's an error and he can be dropped to FAs
- Eric Haula should be ERIK
- David Pastrnak should be R handed
- Jakob Sifverberg should be Silfverberg

B. Season mode:
- Wsh backstrom takes 0 penalties wins last byng every time (lower discipline)
- Erik Karlsson wins best defender in season mode (will examine)

Finally I had some time to test the new rosters with Venoms revamped sliders and I gotta say: Holy cow, both of you did an amazing job. The rosters are awesome, except my Red Wings are a bit too good
Well done, I had a blast playing in my nowadays rare free time. Thank you rangers9911 for taking all the time, creating.. maybe sometimes frustrating.. and sharing it with us.

Thanks Austrian! I hope to test the rosters out with venom’s 2021 sliders soon. Glad you enjoy it. Thanks for laying the groundwork with your rosters prior to me. I’m grateful to help the community.

In the future, edits may be made to this file or if someone edits it and posts another file. I’m hoping to work with tougie24 and the community to work to make this file the new standard. With the nhl all taken care of maybe an ahl update may be possible. For right now, I’m going to enjoy the game and finally play a bit instead of editing.

Awesome stuff! No baseball after work Friday, I know what I am playing! Great work here as always!

Going to fire up Venom's sliders as well.

[VeNOM3099]

I'll get around to trying out these rosters. I might need to come up with a completely different set of sliders since the attributes were tweaked on these.

Great job rangers9911. Wish I had the time, energy and motivation to find out why the 2K11 roster edits aren't compatible with 2K10 in the editor.


I think I could be able to tweak the attributes for you using my stats and hutdb based formula if you're interested. I think it should just be a matter of exporting what I did from the 2K11 csvs into 2K10 csv by keying on the names.
