NBA 2K20 - Ultimate Attention to Detail Roster
 

[
Guys, after almost three months the roster is finally ready.

I just want to take a moment to thank all of you guys that supported me, even last year with my first roster. I probably would have quit a long time ago when this project seemed endless if it wasn't for all the love you gave me.

I want to thank DonMontae, itsmb8, Sapp, Permatron and DancyHercules3. This wouldn't be possible without their help, everybody has worked really hard and I'm proud of our team for all the work done, there are over 200 hours of editing in there.

Now, the roster. A look of what's edited.

[1] Tendencies overhaul, with all of them updated, we hope to give you the most realistic experience as possible (more details):

[1.1] Shot and touch tendencies updated based on player'impact on offense
[1.2] Shot close/mid/3pt corrected based on real life shot shot distrubution in order to have less close shots (this prevents 4-feet jumpers) and mid-range shots (excluding specialists) with more three pointers
[1.3] Pullups, stepbacks (mid and 3pt), floaters, alley oops (dunks and passes) have been tracked and corrected based on attempted on 36 minuts by the players
[1.4] Eurostep, hopstep and stepthrough all updated based on the tendency by the players to use them IRL
[1.5] Drive tendencies corrected with a new scale and a generale decrease in order to stop the CPU from driving every possession
[1.6] Dunk tendencies reworked
[1.7] New "Use glass" tendency based on the % of bank shots attempted
[1.8] New alley-oop (pass and dunk) tendencies
[1.9] Triple Threat Jab, Pump Fake, & Idle all globally scaled using 50 scale
[1.10] All Players & teams Size Up's scaled to 100 between Size Up - Hesitation - No Set Up Move in order to have less random dribbling
[1.11] Dribble tendencies reworked in order to assure better game flow
[1.12] Dish to the open tendency rescaled and globally increased for more drive-and-kicks and extra-pass situations
[1.13] "Spot Up vs Cut" tendency reworked, now players will behave correctly in transition situations, shooters will stay behind the arc while bigs will attack the rim
[1.14] "RollvsPop" tendency rescaled based on Pick&Roll and Pick&Pop situations played
[1.15] Iso tendencies are now based on real-life isolation stats
[1.16] All post up tendencies updated
[1.17] Hook and fade-away shots tracked, rescaled and fixed to turn to the shoulder of the player not the hand (these tendencies are backwards)
[1.18] Charge, foul and shot contest tendency updated and generally increased
[1.19] Steal and block tendency rescaled based on real-life stats

[2] Badges corrections: all of them have been assigned to a maximum of 15-20 players per badge, in order to create better separation between specialists and the rest of the players. The OP badges (worm, rebound chaser, downhill, quick first step and others) that ruins gameplay and/or sim stats have also been removed

[3] Playbooks corrections: more than 300 real-life plays have been added to the various playbooks of the teams (based on system, freelance and style of the players). All teams have 50 plays now. We've made sure to have perfectly balanced playbooks, with a good variety of plays, repairing the errors left in the default ones (Sixers with no post-ups, Pelicans with no 3pt plays, etc)

[4] Play-types have been updated (and placed on correct order) based on Synergy's data, now all the players have assigned their real-life style of plays

[5] Real life staff (coaches and assistants, GMs, trainers, scouts) with grades, badges and play-styles all updated

[6] All injuries of players during their careers have been broken down according to body parts (yeah, it took a long time) allowing us to update all the durability attributes based on the injuries that the players suffered

[7] All transactions are update to the last day of the NBA Season before it was stopped (March 12th)

[8] Hot zones upated for all the players with at least 100 shots this year (+ we used last year data for players that haven't stepped on the court this year like Durant, Wall or Nurkic)

[9] Attributes corrections:

[9.1] Driving layup/shot close/mid/3pt updated for all the players based on the last 2 years
[9.2] Rebounds attribute updated
[9.3] Stamina corrected all around the league

more attributes edits coming soon

[9.4] Athletic attributes based on players performance at the combine (+ some adjustments)
[9.5] Help defense IQ global fix
[9.6] ...

[10] Accessories and shoes updated for all the players in the league (all credit to DancyHercules3), with also corrected frequencies

[11] Peak start/end corrected for all the player in order to assure more MyLeague stability and better progression/regression through years

[12] Play for win, financial security and loyalty updated for all the player in order to resemble their contracts requests (veterans will take the 1-year minimum contracts, low rated players will go to the team that pays them more, players out of their rookie scale will try to secure the bag)

[13] Potentials are corrected in order to have more stability and balance during MyLeague's future seasons, reducing the huge number of 80+ OVR players that showed up after a few years of simulation

[14] Coaching sliders and POEs updated for better gameplay, rotations and sim stats

[15] Over 100 positions corrections

[16] Over 80 contracts corrections (team/player options, non guaranteed salaries, incorrect amount of money)

[17] All 30 teams rotations updated

[18] Ton of work on sim stats in order to assure the best experience possible (credit to Sapp)

[19] Play-initiatior corrections all around the league in order to have only real ball handler to call plays and handle the ball

[20] Edited raft classes that fit the roster tendencies and badges style:

2020 Real Da-Infamous NY DC (thread) -> Complete
JB's Fictional draft class 1 (thread) -> Work in progress
JB's Fictional draft class 2 ->Work in progress

[21] Every team sfecific defensive settings (all credit to SimWorld: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ye-...ew?usp=sharing)

Roster name: Ultimate ATD 2K20
PSN: CelticLG34

About MyLeague sliders: I've used Schnaidt's sliders as base, and edited the simulation stats part, and the contract sliders. Feel free to use another type of sliders if you prefer, but remember to keep the same values for simulation sliders and contracts sliders (very important)

MyLeague Sliders: ATD MyLeague
PSN: CelticLG34

_____________________________

Gameplay sliders: as you can immagine we've worked a lot on the roster, and we barely played some games. Right now I don't recommend any slider set in particular, I'm actually working on a set that works the roster called "UATD+Shady" (it's uploaded under my PSN), but it's a big work in progress at the moment.

My suggestion is: try different type of sets and stick with the one you like the most. It could be mine, the popboy's one, shady, schnaidt, anything. Here on OS you can find a lot of them in the Sliders section. Remember to make your own tweaks because everyone has it's one idea of "sim", so adjust the sliders if you found a good base and have fun!

_____________________________

Draft classes: I'm working on editing the best draft classes that we have on OS. The first real class is Da-Infamous NY 2020 DC. I've corrected the badges and the tendencies in order to fit the roster. The next classes that I'll edit are jb's fictional draft classes, but it will take some time from now.

_____________________________________

The megapack: the pack with MyLeague guide, Tendencies guide, the spreadsheets and more will will be sent in the next few hours. I just need to take a break from editing (it's been a long week) and I'll start sending them.

If you don't receive the link to the pack (via PMs here or e-mail) in the next 12 hours just send me a PM I'll give it to you as soon as possibile.

_______________________________

Final thoughts: the roster will continue to be updated in the coming weeks, although at a much slower pace. I want to update the atheltic attributes, help defense IQ and the defensive attributes. Nothing too big, I think Beds has done a good job, so you can start your MyLeague with no problem. So if see any weird attribute, it's not like we missed it, but we haven't edited it yet.

This is the last "quarantine" weekend for us (someone he's been working for a few days now) so any update will require time for sure.

Thanks again to everyone, if you have any question you know where to find me.

Now... Let's play

Re: NBA 2K20 - Ultimate Attention to detail roster
 

Great work, I can’t wait for this to be complete! 😂😂😂 This definitely deserve a donation!!!

Thanks for your support!

Re: NBA 2K20 - Ultimate Attention to detail roster
 

Appreciate ur work & awesome to have u back! Not sure if ur aware of tynole14's work but his roster/slider set has made this gave pretty great. I'm wondering if ur roster tendencies &/or thoughts & philophies regarding the roster edits are similar to his or not...
THANKS :)

Re: NBA 2K20 - Ultimate Attention to detail roster
 

The philosophy is the same, have matches as close as possible to reality, but about the tendencies I don't know his formulas and he doesn't know mine, so I don't know if they are similar or not

Re: NBA 2K20 - Ultimate Attention to detail roster
 

That's a great idea to max out 3-point tendencies for players since that's how the game is played today. Not sure how I never thought of that. I will definitely apply that concept to my roster for 2K21.

Nice work overall. Looks beautiful!

Re: NBA 2K20 - Ultimate Attention to detail roster
 

Hey brother! Appreciate all the work you’ve done.

I’ve sent over a donation!

Looking forward to it.

Re: NBA 2K20 - Ultimate Attention to detail roster
 

Appreciated it, thanks!

Re: NBA 2K20 - Ultimate Attention to detail roster
 

Thank you so much for this. I can’t wait.

Can I ask a couple questions:

Are draft picks correct or do we need to adjust for accurate picks and protections?

What are your thoughts on using the MyLeague random events spreadsheet that TheDominator273 created?

Re: NBA 2K20 - Ultimate Attention to detail roster
 

Just donated to ya man.

Question though, how does this updated roster compare to your opening day roster?

Re: NBA 2K20 - Ultimate Attention to detail roster
 

Thanks man. We can’t edit draft picks, you can only do while playing MyLeague, but I’ll provide an accurate list of picks and their respective protections in my MyLeague guide.

The random events generator is a great idea, I was using something similar in the past editions, but had far fewer events. Can work with the roster perfectly, I recommend using it for a better gaming experience

NBA 2K20 - Ultimate Attention to detail roster
 

Thanks man, appreciated it!

This roster is far more complete:

- 23 new formulas for tendency (all tendencies will be edited)
- better shot selections from the CPU thanks to extensive shot tracking
- improved badges assignments and formulas
- play-type 100% accurate as IRL
- sig shots (dribbles, post moves, stepbacks, Free throws, etc) updated for all the players (in my previous roster I’ve only edited the shots for all the players, and all the moves just for superstars). All the players will move like themselves
- accurate accessories and shoes
- accurate draft classes (last time I’ve only released one)

You'll feel the difference the first game you try, I promise.

Re: NBA 2K20 - Ultimate Attention to detail roster
 

Hey, I've just sent a donation and sent you a PM!

Thanks for your work, can't wait for the roster to come up

Re: NBA 2K20 - Ultimate Attention to detail roster
 

Hey guys, please accept my apologies for parachuting this thread and probably making a baboon of myself...

But, is this roster open to PS4 users?

Also, what does that "random event generator" refer to, sounds like something I could be interested in.


I am really sorry for newbish questions, I am rather new to 2K world, but am also eagerly searching for realistic rosters for CPU vs CPU sims for months...

And actually feel quite excited now I found this topic :lol:

Re: NBA 2K20 - Ultimate Attention to detail roster
 

The roster is for PS4. And the random event generator is exactly what it sounds like, it generates events that affect your league in positive and/or negative ways.

fire dave gettleman, sincerely everybody

Re: NBA 2K20 - Ultimate Attention to detail roster
 

Well that sounds great! How is that generator activated in-game?

Re: NBA 2K20 - Ultimate Attention to detail roster
 

If you were interested in better understanding the dynamics of how my tendencies work and how they can improve gameplay, I opened in threads with some exctracts: from my "Tendencies guide":

Re: NBA 2K20 - Ultimate Attention to detail roster
 

Great, I really like the way you think and write. I was thinking about making a similar analytical approach to changing all players' tendencies, attributes etc. but time restrictions, even with quarantine :santa:

That makes me even more impressed with your job.

I'd like to see your posts at that topic more often than only one in 2 days, though :)

Maybe we can even share some experiences, I've "studied" the gameplay at NBA 2K a lot, at my channel:
(forum wont let me paste a link :shocked:)


you can see I am not a usual user of this game :D


I think I simmed over 100 Bucks vs Heat matchups, trying to achieve the realistic outcome distributions, but was messing with the WRONG parameters! :)




Recently I've been watching MyL games with one of online rosters, but I am not satisfied with that one. When you see Kendrick Nun shooting 10+ threepointers a game, you know something is not right :)

Re: NBA 2K20 - Ultimate Attention to detail roster
 

Are there fictional draft classes that work well with this roster?

Re: NBA 2K20 - Ultimate Attention to detail roster
 

I think in the other thread he recommended DaInfamousNY 2020 real draft and then use JBs fictional draft classes.

Re: NBA 2K20 - Ultimate Attention to detail roster
 

I'll edit the tendencies of jb draft classes

Re: NBA 2K20 - Ultimate Attention to detail roster
 

Re: NBA 2K20 - Ultimate Attention to detail roster
 

Will there be a real life draft class ready to roll with these upon release or at least a draft class in general upon release?

Other highlights from testing:

Hi, First congrats for your insane job 😊
And when do you think about publishing the roster ?
Thanks !

Re: NBA 2K20 - Ultimate Attention to detail roster
 

Ok, thanks. Will it still be under the same old blind ID that JB linked on the 1st page?

Re: NBA 2K20 - Ultimate Attention to detail roster
 

Love the Coby White vid, nice patience there.

Re: NBA 2K20 - Ultimate Attention to detail roster
 

Been loving this roster so far. I type in your username and download the “new” roster. Since you’re doing tendencies should I zero out the tendency sliders for cpu or default 50?

Re: NBA 2K20 - Ultimate Attention to detail roster
 

DandyHercules3 and I have finished 90% of the tendencies, but attributes and testing are still left to do. So it's not imminent, but we're not too far away either.
