PSN: Real 2K Insider
Draft Night / Offseason Roster has been released!
Roster is offseason ready (UFAs in the FA pool), w/
(These include 2-Way players signed immediately after the draft)
(Insert YouTube Video here. It's been a long night.)
ROSTER FEATURES
-Full attribute edits for 95% of NBA players.
Every single attribute was painstakingly edited in accordance w/ 2K's scales (or an enhanced version of their scale). Procedures have been developed over the last 18 years of editing NBA 2K rosters.
-No seriously, every single attribute.
Consideration leads to greater accuracy. Editing ratings is a mix of math, knowledge, and "feel". One can't be a slave to a spreadsheet (i.e. where 2K Sports' issues often stem).
-The most accurate positions of any roster.
I don't just look at Basketball Reference's estimate like the majority of editors. BBR is simply sorting by height - the actual lineup data often paints a different picture. Some editors are really out here thinking Grant Williams (6'6" / 236) was a SF in lineups w/ Jayson Tatum (6'8" / 210).
-Updated Coaching & Staff profiles
Ratings, Badges, and POE's were adjusted for Head & Assistant coaches to generate a better MyLeague experience. GMs etc were also adjusted to give a more realistic touch.
-Updated Contracts
While 2K cleaned a lot of these up, maybe 3% needed some type of adjustment. Currently Rookie contracts are not accurate (the draft was literally 12 hours ago), but 1st rounders were at least given 4-year deals and figures will be updated as they become available.
FUTURE ADDITIONS
-Completed Tendencies, Badges, and Player Playtypes
Once the off-season dust has settled I will finish data collection that is used on these areas. Badges/Tendencies have already been updated for approximately 33% of teams - I felt it best to finish the attributes first and revisit these later.
-Jump to Next-Gen (PS5)
Right now my focus is finishing the data projects on my plate and keeping up with what will be an extremely rapid off-season. Beginning a next-gen data transfer now would lead to those tasks not being completed.
-Updated Classic Teams
This is mostly a long-term project, and application won't begin until next-gen roster release.
