Re: 1996 roster (360 only)

My appreciation for including the 1996 Bullets team. You initially sounded on the fence about their inclusion (with Robert Pack, Mark Price and Chris Webber playing a combined 56 games that season) but I'm glad they made the cut. I'll have fun plowing other teams down with Rasheed, Juwan, Gheorghe, and C-Webb.

I do not have to the ability to download the rosters at this time but I do have a question. For the Supersonics and Bullets, did you create two full rosters for each of those teams? I mean, are the '96 Sonics represented as both a created team and as members of the Thunder? And are the Bullets a created team and the Wizards? That was my interpretation of what you said but I was looking for some verification. I'm assuming you made the original teams on the Wizards and Thunder, then just duplicated each player to created teams.

I think I might be able to get by using the really retro Bullets unis for this club. . .or I might just flash forward a couple years and roll with Wizard unis, since many of those players stuck around for the early Wizard days.

yeah i reconsidered and in the end i decided it would be fun to play with that bullets team, its tough having to decide on a couple teams, im working on 97 now and not sure how many slots i will have left over but im hoping to fit atleast 6 non playoff teams the problem is most of the non playoff teams were really sucky due to in season trades and maaad injuries. i will probably do indy, cavs, spurs and kings but might have to decide later between bucks, warriors and the raptors.

anyway the bullets and sonics are created teams and they are the wizards and thunder as well. the bullets created team color scheme is pretty close to the bullets old colors but they did rock those retros back then too so for home games they look nice. just wish 2k gave us not just more retros but home and away for each one

Re: 1996 roster (360 only)

Just wanted to say thanks. These rosters have been a lot of fun for me. I'm excited to see the rest of the 90's. Oh and if you are on the fence please include the Warriors for 97. I'd be stoked. Thanks again man.

Re: 1996 roster (360 only)

what sliders do u use portland? or do u not use any?
could u post ur sliders and settings

**portlandblazer** · 03-09-2009, 04:17 AM

Re: 1996 roster (360 only)

i dont have a specific slider set i use, i stay pretty much with default. you may want to tone down inside scoring a bit or maybe 3 point success, i do but i change it up here and there depending what difficulty i feel like playing. im always open to suggestions if you feel like something needs tweeking. sliders are for peoples own preference and not all slider sets suite each persons playing style.

I don't mean to tell a story about every roster you do but. . .here's a story: That 1997 Spurs team you're thinking of creating was one of THE worst clubs I've ever seen in my life. I had tickets to one NBA game that year, and that was to see my Detroit Pistons take on my favorite player of all-time: David Robinson. Little did I know that David would go on injured reserve a week after we purchased our tickets. Sean Elliott was out too. Ditto Dominique.

I can't say for sure, but I'm thinking San Antonio's starting lineup that night was: Avery Johnson, Vernon Maxwell, Monty Williams, Carl Herrera, and Cadillac Anderson. It was one of the grimiest lineups I've ever seen grace the NBA hardwood. Little did I know, they were just planting the seeds of futility that would ultimately lead them to the number one overall pick in the 1997 draft henceforth paving the way for the selection of Wake Forest's Tim Duncan, who turned out to be a pretty good player.

Re: 1996 roster (360 only)

Think about it, the Spurs had one losing season since 1988-89, and that was 1996-97. It is unbelievable luck that they were able to get Tim Duncan #1 because of that injury to David Robinson. You could say the Spurs traded that season for 4 championship seasons (99, 03, 05, 07). Not many people remember that Dominique was on that team, or that he finished his career with Orlando.
