Black Friday I'm sure it'll be $30. That's the actual price of the game in my eyes. Since they only spend 1 year of development on it and reuse a bunch of the previous game's assets

Every year I make a post about how my homies in real life always fukk up my 2k experience cause they trash. But I am here to report that is NOT the case this year. Both of my partners made 99 3pt builds after (cap breakers). And they finally realize shooting is better then dunking. We still average ball players overall but with the sbmm just matching us up with Gold plates we can actually get wins and go on streaks. BEST 2K EVER (based solely on my individual happiness)
Roster maker seem to like it because of the features for players.

My 11 yr old plays using his own settings and I forget to load mine up when I play. I played today before coming to work and hit 6 straight threes
I use his settings when we play each other, but I like mine when it's just me playing. I want my team fg% to be realistic, but I swear there are the thinnest of margins with those sliders

What are the differences between the top two rosters?
Will be pretty long, but,...
Hello everyone welcome to another year of NBA 2K! This go round of the project has been a little tough a few people had personal situations going on including CelticLG, in which again get well soon dawg. This year we opted to go with two variations of the roster. The ATD Opening Night 1.0 (SGN Edition) which is a roster done with badges added from Sim Gaming Network and The ATD Opening Night 1.0 (MIAFinest97 Edition) which is a roster overhaul done by MIAFinest97.
The reason why it's 1.0 is because the roster is not completely finished. The player sigs are not fully complete (Only the 76ers to the Nets are finished) and we are looking from between the end of November to early December to finish the remaining teams.
Name of both files…

Gameplay Overhaul Update – Major Tuning Pass for Realistic Flow & Balance
Hey everyone, just finished up a major round of edits to fine-tune gameplay balance, movement, and overall realism. This update is aimed at creating smoother offensive flow, smarter shot distribution, and more believable defensive behavior across the board.
Here’s what’s new:
Badges & Attributes Overhaul
- Completely rebalanced badge effects to better reflect player skill and role.
- Adjusted key attributes for more realistic player separation and on-court identity.
- Rebuilt speed and stamina curves so quick guards actually feel explosive, while bigs maintain realistic mobility without feeling sluggish.
Speed & Movement
- Speed and Speed With Ball increased for more natural pacing and transition flow.
- Players accelerate and decelerate more realistically — less robotic stop/start movement.
- Game tempo feels livelier without crossing into arcade territory.
Defense Rework
- Defensive attributes recalibrated to remove “glue” defense — no more Trae Young clamping elite scorers unrealistically.
- On-ball defense now depends more on footwork, positioning, and awareness.
- Defensive awareness and consistency adjusted for more human-like reaction timing.
- Still requires skill to beat defenders — you can’t just blow by everyone, but it feels balanced.
Tendency Overhaul
- Major rebuild of offensive and defensive tendencies for smarter, more dynamic AI decisions:
- Spot vs. Cut: Players move off-ball in ways that fit their offensive role and spacing logic.
- Crash (Rebounding): Tuned to balance aggression and rebounding positioning — fewer reckless over-the-back scenarios.
- Drive & Dish Logic: Drive and kick actions improved by syncing Driving Layup Tendency with passing and shot tendencies, creating more realistic attack-and-pass flow.
- Mid-Range Logic Rework (Bigs): Big men now use smarter mid-range shot selection, picking their spots instead of forcing low-IQ looks.
- Three-Point Logic Balance: Complete rebuild for more consistent spacing and realistic shooting volume across archetypes.
- Contest Behavior: Improved defensive closeouts for better timing and body control.
- Players now use a wider range of shots depending on role, matchup, and floor spacing.
- Mid-range and close shot logic tuned for smarter shot choice, particularly among bigs and secondary scorers.
- Driving and pull-up windows adjusted for smoother momentum-based decision making.
Overall Goal
This overhaul focuses on blending realistic simulation with fluid, player-driven gameplay — rewarding smart decisions while reducing scripted, unnatural interactions.
Expect more dynamic possessions, realistic fouls, balanced rebounding, and AI behavior that mirrors real basketball flow.
Disclaimer
This project is in no way a jump-off or replacement for the official ATD roster or the incredible work put into it.
I’m a proud member of the ATD Team and fully support players trying out both versions to see what fits their personal playstyle best.
This version simply represents a different perspective and tuning philosophy aimed at sparking variety and discussion within the community.
Before I continue, send thoughts and prayers to CelticLG who isn't good health wise, sending love and thoughts breh.
Special shout out to the people that took time out to pitch in with this project...

Scenarios
We will upload scenarios once 2K fixes the ability to download them
Sliders
The sliders that works well with both rosters are…
Cpu v Cpu Beta by LupusWarrior-17 (obvious from the name, still in it’s beta stage)
NBA Tip-Off Set by MiaFinest97 (Game Speed set between 42 to 45)
NBA Mid-Season Set by MiaFinest97 (Game Speed set between 42 to 45)
Sorry for the long post, but just wanted to give both rosters their shine.
In other words...
The SGN version is done by SimGamingNetwork...
The only thing changed heavily are player badges, while attributes and tendencies are slightly touch.
The MiaFinest97 version is what's really described in the qoute.
I believe I saw you post this on Operation Sports, but what were the differences in the badges for each roster?
I'm at work at moment, but all players have at least 23 badges on the SGN one (more if a player is a superstar) while the other has badges that are completely re-worked. Superstar players have badges that fit their personality on court while other players (let's say end of the bench players have less than 4).
Here is Mia's spreadsheet of what players have which badges...
Lol ish is only 40 cdn new which is like 27 usd

I’m here for the scraps
I like playing classic teams but in a league format
Like the 86 Celtics but playing against a all time great team like the 2000 lakers
That’s always been my thing with 2K. Usually classic season mode, but classic team never seem to force live turnovers or get out and run while in half court sets nobody seems to ever move off ball. Last year they got a little better with making shots that weren’t green release, but this other issue was real bad. Did that change?
Just started and fukk, STARTING THIS GAME IS TORTURE.
I JUST WANNA PLAY A GAME

I have yet to play it online. My son has.
I'm still in the process of building random rosters with a mix of today's players and past eras. I wanna stack every team, but I don't want them all playing the same way.
I also replaced old ass Bron with Miami Bron and put him on the wizards with MJ, Steph, Duncan & Dream because I wanted to have that clear cut "best" team

I do like how chemistry actually works in mycareer now, because before even if you had 100% chemistry your teammates were still missing open shots. What they refuse to change is the unbalanced reward/punish grading system. A missed shot should not wipe out half your bar.
