2K18: 1972-1973 NBA/ABA Roster (PS4) by kikinho_gz
 

I recently stumbled on a 1972-1973 NBA/ABA custom roster for NBA2K18 (PS4) by PSN: kikinho_gz. It's called "1972-73 ABA & NBA completed". In a different thread, I saw that someone had made a similar roster for XB1, so I wanted to spread the good word for PS4 users that we got one, too.

I've updated this entry with a list of 1972-1973 ABA & NBA teams and where to find them in the custom roster.

I will definitely check this out. Thanks for posting. If you don’t mind me asking though I seen you post in the 92-93 roster thread by Twistiez and I was wondering if you know where all the teams in that roster are located like are they in classic team roster slots or not? If you know that’ll would be a big help.

Hey I’ll try to list out the 92-93 teams in that roster in that other thread for you—probably sometime this weekend.

That would great.That roster is complete, but to the best of my knowledge no one has listed what teams you need to choose for game modes like my league.Anyway, if you could do that when you have some free time
I’d definitely appreciate it. You can me back here or in the 92-93 thread if you’re able to get a list made.

I looked at the 72-73 roster last night and it was incomplete and did not have any of the players from this year on it. How are you able to view this roster in its entirety?

I took a closer look at the roster and it's almost entirely complete, with a few minor players missing here and there. I've updated this original post with a list of 1972-1973 ABA & NBA teams and where to find them in the custom roster, but also pasted the info below:

I am in the process of setting a league with this roster file. I added the USA and USSR men's basketball teams from the 1972 Olympics. I'll post pictures when I am finished.
