Miami, Charlotte, Minnesota, and Orlando really pushed the league into the modern age and you can feel it in 2K.
    How many games do you play/sim per season, V? Further to that, are you implementing accurate rosters every season? That must take a painful amount of time.

    I've only just finished a full 82 game season and playoffs in 1992. Was a beautiful grind.

      Great photos there.

      My loose routine has been to play a game every two weeks of the season or so, heavily weighted toward Pistons games but sampling teams of note every given year. I'm in 1990 at the moment and there's a lot of teams that intrigue me so I'm taking a bit longer to cut through this season (1990 Pistons, Spurs, and Sonics all a lot of fun).

      I am, indeed, handling all the offseason transactions and it's been a lot of fun. I have a routine of firing up a Spotify playlist of whatever year I'm working through then I take my time and make it happen. It's rewarding to see the teams change and take form from year to year.

        Are you doing the real transactions from year-to-year? I was so lazy this year with the Eras, but I'm thinking of diving in like I originally planned during the offseason.

          Real transactions but with some accommodations.

          1. I don't care about salaries. One of the first things I did was disable the salary cap to make transactions as easy as possible.

          2. I don't care about whether a guy was signed or traded. I just get them to their new team by the easiest path possible (even if that means manually releasing them with one team and signing them with another).

          3. I don't care about draft slot. If my simulation gives the Spurs the No. 17 overall pick in 1987, I guess that means David Robinson isn't getting pick until No. 17.

          4. I handle 98 percent of transactions before the season starts. If a trade commenced midway through a season in real life, I generally just take care of it before the season starts. I make certain exceptions for season-altering deals like Dantley for Aguirre in '89 or Drexler to Houston in '95.

          5. I turn off injuries. If I leave them on, accurate rotations are a pain to keep up with. If there's prominent season-ending injuries (Larry Bird in '89) then I'll manually pull them out of the rotation for the year.

          I've always been fond of editing rosters, even when it gets a bit tedious a times, just because it's fun to watch that final product form. So I understand the year-to-year editing is not for everyone. But it's so rad to watch the league grow and evolve year after year. That first time you run into a rookie Charles Barkley or steamrolling Kevin Edwards & Rony Seikaly in the Heat's first ever game or the Spurs taking shape with Robinson, Elliott, and Strickland, it's just... a quintessential basketball historian's experience.

            Awesome, that's just about how I used to do it on 360 and a few times on PS4. Haven't been able to get the right sliders or sims stats this gen, but I think I'm just gonna ignore some of the crazier stuff and have fun with it.

              Does anyone know how to fix the black socks issue when teams are on the road wearing white shoes in 2k23?

                If you're using custom arenas and jerseys then there's unfortunately no fix. It's a bug that's been around for a few years now.

                You can always go the cheeky fix route and apply white ankle tape to all the players if you really can't bear the black socks.

                If you're using regular/standard teams, you can just change the sock colour at the team selection screen.

                  Yes! this is me as well.

                  I do all transactions to the point I research the actual transactions that happen and make stories behind them. I use old NBA 2K16 and 2k17 (xbox 360 mind you to use that for a Euroleague Final Four sim to use for my draftees as well.

                  I also boost up the stars overalls as well and their tendencies, so much so that I will make sure Kobe, LeBron and Tim Duncan get at least one MVP in their career. Those players that received their jersey retired, to me, need them retired. I messed up and allowed John Stockton to leave without his #12 in the rafters.

                    Thanks dave. Yeah everything was fine while I were in the 92 season but once I transition to the 93 season the socks go back to black whenever we are on the road while wearing white shoes. Definitely an immersion roadkill.

                        Good news. We just need him to be in those draft classes for a offline guy like me

                          Does any one know where or how to get the young rookie Scottie Pippen model, without the headband? I had it right, but I recently went back to update his sigs (changed his height) and lost it. It is possible, that much I know, it's just been a while since and I can't recall how. Thank you.

                            To piggyback off of this… how do I get the 96 pippen to stay on the roster? Obviously the glitch happens when you edit him, he turns to the goatee fro pippen. But even after downloading the other 96 dna he still reverts back to the fro after editing. Is there a fix?

                              The Pippen face by default is the one without the goatee. You have to use the same ole trick of importing Player DNA (use NBA player) and importing the appearance, NOT attributes of the specific player you want.

                              The bug is so severe, if you modify anything on the player: shoes, attributes, body weight, vitals, the appearance will default to the goatee Pippen. Same for MJ as well. So before modifying anything, you want to first import player appearance, scroll all the way to 95-96 Bulls, use Scottie’ appearance and now you can modify to your heart’s content without worrying about goatee Pippen showing up. Every time you want to edit Pippen/Jordan or anyone, you must first import the player’s appearance before modifying or it will default to goatee Pippen the moment you edit him. Yes I know super annoying but it is the only way to my knowledge of saving their default appearances.

                                Ohh ok. I was importing his attributes AND appearance. I’ll give the other way a shot and see if that works. Thanks for the heads up
