Looking For A Specific 1980s-1990s Roster?

[blackhawksfan4ever19]

Hey guys here's what I did. Starting with the year Jordan played (1984) here are the years (rosters) that cover that ERA.

DISCLAIMER: I DID NOT MAKE THESE ROSTERS FROM SCRATCH. I SIMPLY MADE SURE THEY WERE ALL MOSTLY ACCURATE, Using Basketball-reference to make sure the players on each season are correct.

Starting with 1984 to 1999 here are mostly accurate rosters you can use with confidence.

These are very good rosters.

I added The last 4 years of Jordan Era rosters. 3/12

These Are All Play Now Rosters found in the Play Now vaults.


(MVB) - NBA ACTION 1984 1985 - Stilesy
(MVB) - 1985-86 - rastavibes27
(MVB) - Complete 1986-87 NBA Roster - JoeShmoe2585
(JORDAN) - 1987-88 Accurate Roster - southrngntlmn1
(MVB) - 1988-89 - southrngntlmn1
(JORDAN) - 1989-90 Accurate Roster - southrngntlmn1

(KOBE) - 2002-2003 Complete - XClutchRetro
(KOBE) - 2003-2004 Accurate Roster - southrngntlmn1


Please note: the ones that are from "southrngntlmn1" are MINE. These are ones I had to modify to make mostly accurate rosters. AGAIN the majority of the rosters are from other makers.

Any ?'s let me know.

hope this helps

If there are ones you can't find from mine just let me know. I'll re-upload it.

It has been brought to my attention some teams aren't 100% accurate. So I'll say they are closely accurate and I apologize for the misrepresentation.

got to give you major props for not only finding this but making accurate as you did! outstanding work!

my only request if its even possible would be to create an actual calendar (in-game) scenario where for me the roster would start in 1987, which really would have to start sometime in the magic vs bird era instead of the Jordan era, if I explained that right?

thank you though and great to see you here on these boards, take care.

Hey man, thanks for the shout out on the 1984/1985 roster. You probably noticed I'm not a big fan of CAPS.....

I did my best with what was available in the game and after many attempts arrived at a Barkley I could tolerate.

Great piece of work you have put in here, thanks for your contribution to the community.

God bless you, Stilesy

Hey Storm thanks for the kind words. Appreciate it. It's my first nba2k game so I wanted to do something for the community as I've downloaded a bunch of rosters so I wanted to give back. Again thanks for the warm welcome it's good to hear from you too. Take care.

Re: Looking For A Specific 1980s-1990s Roster?

I didn't find any rosters in the Magic vs Bird mynba eras under southrngntlmn1.

Ok srg, give me a minute and I'll reupload them again.

Just so you know these are all play now rosters, found in the play now vaults.

I just re-uploaded 1988-89 to the MVB play now vault. The rest of the rosters in that MVB era listed are not mine. enjoy.

Re: Looking For A Specific 1980s-1990s Roster?

The jackzones1 1996 and 1997 rosters both have dennis rodman twice in there, once on the bulls and once in free agents.

Could be more thats inaccurate but i really need a 1996-1997 roster which is solid.
I could delete rodman from the roster fron the free agency list but then again i have to go through ALL the teams to make sure rhere are no other mistakes.

Re: Looking For A Specific 1980s-1990s Roster?

The roster from g_squared13 also has rodman twice in there 🤦🏽

Thank you for this blackhawks. I will check out your 1988-89 roster when I get a chance.

As someone who just can't get into the modern NBA but loves old school ball, this is a treasure trove! Thank you so much for curating these rosters, it's truly appreciated!

[Drew34308]

1st this is extremely helpful for someone like me who wants to finally get a PS5 and loves the classic rosters on 2K. I do have a question. Do I still need to rebrand each team in my NBA or does it do it automatically when I download the rosters??

[Deckard75]

I am able to play a full season with these rosters?

[blackhawksfan4ever19]

I haven't tried it yet, but I'm hoping you can. If you try it out be sure to let us know.

Hey Blackhawk - Are these rosters on PS4, PS5 or Xbox? Are user created rosters uploaded for PS5 also on PS4?
