I am happy to say that after five months of work, a full 1990-1991 roster set is now available for use in any game mode (everything is configured to work best in MyGM/Franchise mode, but you can certainly playsingle games if you prefer that!). I have also completed the 1991 draft class for use with this roster; I’m at work on the 1992 draft and hope to do at least 3-4 years of classes in the end.
The main file is entitled 1990-91 NBA RosterShared. The draft class is 91Draft. Both are best found by searching for my username (ferrfs), but please note that there are other files that I’ve uploaded; these are test rosters or otherwise unfinished – they won’t do you much good.
The main features of the roster set include:
· All 27 teams that existed in 1990-91, includingthe player list for each team as it was on Opening Night 1990 (so trades thathappened in-season are not reflected in this roster set. Players are generally accurate with regard toheight, weight, age, years pro, and contract (though contracts are scaled to reflect inflation). Some of the pre-existing classic players will not be accurate with regard to age because you can’t edit the birth dates of such players – nothing to be done about that, I’m afraid!
· The three teams that did not exist in 90-91 have been handled in three different ways. The Pelicans are replaced with the roster of the 1974-75 New Orleans Jazz; the Raptors with the 2004-2005 Raptors. The Grizzlies are an “expansion” team – the roster is made up entirely of players who were not on an NBA roster as of Opening Night 1990 (either because they were in Europe, a free agent, or recently retired at the time).
· You’ll need to put the ’95-’96 SeattleSupersonics in place of the Oklahoma City Thunder in all MyGM/Franchise situations.
· The free agent list has been edited. There are about 60 free agents who werereal-life free agents at the beginning of the 1990-91 season; they are all rated at 60 or above. Anyone rated below 60 is not intended for use in this roster.
· Ratings were derived from a spreadsheet taking into account objective measures of performance (ie, stats). Generally, there is a wider spread of ratings from top players to weaker players. Anybody between 60-65 is a fringe player; 66-70 is usually a rotation player or somebody with one or two useful skills. 71-75 is a solid starter; 76-80 is aborderline All Star. Anybody in the 80s is usually All Star caliber, while 90 and up is MVP candidate. Above 95 is the absolute best of the best, and there are very few of these.
My next few posts will briefly outline the teams in the league, including overall ratings for key players. I’ll close with an overview of the first draft class.
Huge thanks are owed both to freno and lorddark for their contributions to this roster in terms of CAPs and draft classediting. PLEASE let me know if you haveany feedback or ideas on how I can make this roster set more useable – but in the meanwhile, I hope it’s fun to play!
