    Oldtime 20th Century Roster & Scenario 2K25

    I recently uploaded (a 99.5% FINAL) version of the "Oldtime 20th Century" Roster for NBA 2K25 and a MyERA Scenario. The remaining .5% to go will only include additions to Free Agency Players (mostly from the very later part of the Century) which should not impact any Teams active Players as currently set.

    They can be found using PSN = stecropper and each is titled “Oldtime 20th Century”. Below is a Spreadsheet link detailing both the Base Roster & the Expansion Roster used in the uploaded MyERA Scenario.

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...gid=1477967411

    ( actual link: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Zqg8mSjSAT9gMCctJKqR5ZzpHfQ2VUkWwqVnzWaPB0A/edit?gid=1477967411#gid=1477967411 )

    All Teams in the Base Roster and the MyERA Scenario have 15 Players that Played on those teams except the Expansion Teams that were filled via an automated Draft beyond the handful of Players that Played on them.

    In the Spreadsheet column titled "Teams Played For" are the Team(s) they Played most games for as listed 1st; 2nd most listed 2nd etc. & all teams behind the "/" are teams they play < 50 games for.

    The 1st column "XTRAS" are currently "Free Agents" & "xxDeleted" are 21st Century Players I deleted but are accessible in the game in "Deleted Players" in the Roster.

    To build this Roster I have gone through in detail each of 2Ks MyERAs & Draft Classes to move Players into it. The "ONLY" Players that will not be 2K25 "Originals" are Reggie Miller, Charles Barkley & Slick Watts.

    All Players have been moved into the “Current” Team Slots with the “Exception” of the Oklahoma Thunder which is replaced by ‘95-96 Seattle Supersonics. This is much better, in my opinion, than just using the All-Time Slots and makes a huge difference in the enjoyment of the overall presentation in both the Roster & Scenario.

    The MyERA Scenario includes 6 Pre-Built Expansion teams. Four of the Expansion teams have Players that Played on their ABA counterparts:

    1) Virginia Storm (i.e. Virginia Squires)
    .... Julius Irving; Swen Nater; George Gervin; Charlie Scott
    2) Louisville Liberty (i.e. Kentucky Colonels)
    .... Artis Gilmore; Dan Issel; Louie Dampier
    3) St.Louis Sound (i.e. Sprits of St.Louis)
    .... Moses Malone; Joe Caldwell; Maurice Lucas; Freddie Lewis; Lenny Wilkens
    4) Cincinnati Lions (i.e. Cincinnati Royals (actually an Oldtime NBA team not ABA))
    .... Oscar Robinson; Jerry Lucas; Wayne Embry; Fred Hetzel; Jon McClocklin

    (In the Expansion Tab of the Spreadsheet, for the 6 Expansion Teams, the 2nd Column shows which team a Player was Drafted from. The rest of the information in the 2nd Column for all others should be ignored)

    The uploaded Scenario is set to play 6-minute quarters with 3 fouls required to foul out of the game. Best-of-3 in the 1st two rounds of the Playoffs & Best-of-5 in the Conference Finals & the Finals. The Tabs “Setup” & “Sliders” in the Spreadsheet are other settings I used for the Scenario.

    The Divisional Setup for the uploaded Scenario is:

    EASTERN CONFERENCE:

    ATLANTIC: BOS NYK NJN PHL WAS TOR
    CENTRAL: CLV CIN DET MIL CHI IND
    SOUTHEAST: MIA ORL ATL LOU CHA VIR

    WESTERN CONFERENCE:

    NORTHWEST: MIN KCK STL UTA DEN PHO
    PACIFIC: SEA POR SAC GSW LAL LAC
    SOUTHWEST: NAS MEM NOP DAL SAS HOU

    I enjoyed creating this Roster & Scenario and hope other OldTime enthusiasts will also.

      Re: Oldtime 20th Century Roster &amp; Scenario 2K25

      FYI: There are over 250 (Real-Life Pre-2000) Players as Free Agents within this Roster.

      With a total of 834 (Real-Life Historical) players in the entire Roster with NO-Duplicates.

      This makes this a very good BASE Roster for anyone creating a Pre-2000 Season and especially good for anyone building a College Roster because the Spreadsheet provides their College Team and can be sorted to show all players from a given College all listed together along with where they can be located within the Roster.

      College Played for Spreadsheet:

        Just updated this Oldtime 20th Century Scenario with changes to the Sliders, Simulation Possessions, and a much better Charles Barkley.

            StormWarning, Just figured out how to change Retired #s in the current season: 1) Go to League News - League History - Retired Numbers ...... You can UnRetired #s there then Go Update them in the Roster via Edit ......

            Also, just uploaded a New Scenario with changes to Sliders; Simulation values & correct Jersey #s for Reggie Miller & Bill Russell.

            Tried sending you this via PM but your id is blocked from receiving messages.

                  Thanks for the insight.

                  Is it all Google Docs don't work or just this specific one you are speaking of?

                  It works for me but I am a novice at adding a spreadsheet to a post as this is the 1st I've attempted. I have updated the 1st post with the link address so hopefully that works) .........

                  BUT "If Not" :

                  If anyone wishes to receive this spreadsheet just send me your email address and I will send it to you.

                      ChaseB, Nope ....... didn't change a thing with the Google Doc ....... Thanks for letting me know. It is much appreciated.

                      Also, I just updated the Scenario with adjusted settings for Sliders & Simulations which align them much closer relative to game statistical results as well as having it play more like the '70s-'80s style of Basketball.

                      Isn't this game Amazin' ........ I am not even a basketball fan and it has consumed my life for the past month & a half. It's basically just playing it from here on out for this 75 Year Old Sports Gaming enthusiast !!!

                        I just discovered a Duplicate in the Roster - Rodney McCray - I have corrected it and updated the Scenario & Roster. I have also uploaded another Scenario that does not have any Expansion Teams.

                            StormsWarning, Thanks for the Kind Words and I am glad you are enjoying that College Scenario .......... However, My Friend, --- that Roster was done by someone else and not me ....... I just made a very few changes and uploaded the Scenario so I wouldn't lose it.
