merry christmas, seasons greetings, happy holidays, and all that good stuff.

heres a link to the info for the 87-88 season: http://www.basketball-reference.com/.../NBA_1988.html



all but 3 teams have at least 10 players, l*kers and pistons have 12. i will be doing 1990 next and four expansion teams were added since 88 so i have to figure out what i will do with 200 caps. maybe 8 or 9 guys per team or make playoff teams accurate and then starting 5s for the rest or maybe playoffs and then 4 or so other teams like i did for 2k9. suggestions appreciated.

again, these roster are recommended for quick game only unless you know a workaround to the vanishing legends glitch in season or association.

any advice or suggestions for tweeks to tendencies, coach sliders, etc is welcome. i put this roster together pretty quickly so if you notice anything i overlooked please let me know, i wouldnt say i was rushing this roster but some very late nights were put in and i may have forgot something while half asleep.

ya know what would be cool? if we could put together a playlist of songs from the mid eighties to go along with this and the 1986 roster. i think that would add a great deal of realism and nostalgia to go along with these 80s rosters. then later maybe a early 90s playlist and a late 90s. if anyone remembers some songs that used to be played in arenas back then please share. i dont think a playlist for each team would be necessary, just a general list of songs to be played in all arenas would do the trick. so we dont have to hear gwen steffani or 50 cent while magic goes behind the back no look. i would try to tackle it by myself but i got so much time invested into doing these rosters and really dont know what im doing when it comes to editing songs reverb and stuff so if any one wants to volunteer or thinks they can help that would be great.

enjoy!

i just noticed something i missed.... in both the 86 and 88 rosters some how dominiques free throw accidentally got changed to "bent elbow", it should be "bent down". i would re-up the files but i dont want to use up the 2kshare slots for such a minor fix.

I think the music would be a great idea. I happened to have a few 80's tracks come on during time-outs with the 1986 roster and it was pretty sweet and timely (White Wedding, Michael Jackson).

And as always, thanks for the new roster. I'm sure it'll be awesome.

Blazer, I knew you were going to do this... Good look my dude...

Re: 1987-88 roster (360)

based off of this 1988 file I already created, and posted a 1986-87 file on xbox live under "Gary T 1986"

portland I was hoping you would look into polishing up this file, then re-releasing it since alot of work is done.

Here is what is done:

all players were moved to their correct teams for the 1986-87 season. There are some missing players, some starters. not too many. I will list the names of everyone important that is missing. I tried to upload some missing players using the 86 file to 2k share, then download, but it didn't work because all of the CAP slots are filled.

I did not update contracts, or info like years pro, and players age. years pro and age would have to be decreased by one year for each player. I did not mess with any players ratings or tendencies except for Dr. J Julius Erving since a 90 rating and 80 something shot tendency were both too high in my opinion for his last year in the NBA, as the torch has been passed to Barkley.

I added 3 new teams for the cavs, bullets, and bucks to more accurately represent the uniforms and colors they wore that year. The players on those teams, as well as the sonics, and all star teams are all still from 87-88 however.



Missing Players

Phoenix: rookies william bedbord, rafael addison, kenny gattison

LA Clippers: marques johnson, rory white

cleveland: none missing, but johnny newman is on the roster and should be removed

sacramento: derek smith, mark olberding

san antonio: david greenwood, johnny moore

portland: kenny carr

philadelphia: none

milwaukee: none

chicago: mike brown, granville waiters, pete myers

boston: darren daye, rick carlisle

atlanta: jon koncak

utah: darrell griffith, carey scurry, kent benson

la lakers: adrian branch

denver: mark alarie, maurice martin

indiana: kyle macy, clint richardson

detroit: none

houston: dirk minnifield, buck johnson, richard anderson (none may have not played in enough games to qualify however)

dallas: none

seattle: eddie johnson 6'2, not the other eddie johnson-he's on the kings

golden state: perry moss, chris washburn, greg ballard, jerome whitehead (would really like to see washburn in his only year in the nba where he played 30+ games)

washington: ennis whatley, darwin cook

ill check it out but i wouldnt be able to finish it up in one night. i spend at least an hour per team editing the players attributes, tendencies, appearances, accessories, setting rotations and all that to reflect how each player played and looked in that particular season. creating all the missing players takes several days on top of that. then theres coach profiles and testing simmed stats. not to diminish the work you put in but a week minimum would be needed for the roster to be up to my standards. i simply dont have the time to take on another 80s roster, if i were going to do 87 i would have done it before 88. feel free however to upload some caps from the 86 roster if you need them to fill out this 87 roster but of course you will need to delete some first and 50 of the caps are un-deletable so you may need to figure out which players you want to keep and which players are deletable etc... first.

Re: 1987-88 roster (360)

Hey PB I cant download the rosters off of the 2K share any idea why?

[GaryT531]

Re: 1987-88 roster (360)

I am going to put out the 1986-87 roster again soon, in case anyone is interested. 87 was a great year because it was considered "the golden age" of the NBA where it was the last time that 13 hall of famers were still active in a particular season.

The first release was incase portlandblazer wanted to take a look at it. Since that release I have updated every players years pro, and age.

Right now I am in the process of updating individual players attributes using my Sporting News NBA guide, and comparing players stats from 87 to 88 (because I am using the 88 roster as a base) and making subtle adjustments. I have high standards as well in terms of editing rosters.

Portlandblazer the only area where I need some help is if you can upload the following cap's to 2k share, or at least try to because I figured out which players are deletable, and uploadable, and these are the missing players that can be used to fill out the 87 rosters that are not uploadable on my roster. It probably won't work for you either, but for now it's the best idea that I have. if not then ill figure something out. thanks

Re: 1987-88 roster (360)

Where do I find 2kshare? is it on the 360 dashboard or in the game. I'm using NBA 2K9. I could not find it. Instructions on how to download classic rosters would be appreciated. Thx.

amazing job again portland thanks a lot.

tell me exactly whats happening.

garyt - you cant upload those players because they dont show up on the cap list so you will have to recreate them if you want them on the roster.
