@@jimbo2k191 I noticed there are 265 CAP spots & once you reach the limit you can use whatever number you want on players...

@@bigsony4469 thanks, glad it helped!

Probably a few different tendencies impacting that. The spot up and off-screen shoot vs. drive tendencies only come up if the player gets the ball in a spot-up scenario or coming off a screen. So those won't impact the guy leading the fastbreak. Probably the general Drive and the Driving Dunk tendencies impact that. You could lower the Transition Spot Up for everyone on the team so they cut to the basket more on fastbreaks insteading of spotting up on the 3 point line to wait for a pass. But I've found even if I drop them all to 0, some guys will still spot up on fastbreaks anyway. There is no way to fully prevent it, just like the fadeaways. No matter what is done with the tendencies, there is no way to completely eliminate those random 18 foot turnaround fadeways, even in the Bird-Magic era games, which really annoys me since almost no one took shots like that in the early to mid 80s.

No, you don't. The video shows exactly how to get around the retired player number issue. You just re-name a generic guy to the retired player name, switch the number, and import the guy you want in his place.

@@jimbo2k191 ijs I've done it for 2k23 & 2k24💯you have to do over 150 trades to make it permanent so it works either way...

No, sorry. Takes way too much time to input everything and 2K always changes around the faces, shots, etc. every year so it causes extra work. If we could carry over our roster files each year, that would be great. I'm skipping 2K25 this year and just finishing up my 2K24 rosters.

Thanks man! Sorry, I need to get this 83-84 roster finished up. The only things I've been posting are guys from that roster. Put so much time into already and then had to shut things down for awhile due to work. I've got to get it finished up before I work on any other guys.

@@jimbo2k191 that’s alright. Maybe you can complete the 84 Celtics with Larry Bird, Danny Ainge and DJ fixes as well please. Cheers

@@gambitmarsh that team was finished a long time ago. You can find them all in the roster in the video description: th-cam.com/video/XcsLDOO_QkE/w-d-xo.html

Yes. Doesn't matter for sim games but for the played games, you need plays that match the player's play types if you want plays to get called for him.

Thanks! If you go into the full 1983-84 work in progress roster on 2KShare, you can get the full CAP or check out his attributes, tendencies, etc. Not sure on the final roster, depends on work.

@jimbo2k191 Thanks...one last thing. When you look at players video...do you watch highlights or full games?

@@blainz8652 Both. Depends on what I'm looking for. Toney was my favorite player growing up, seen him play plenty. But normally if it's 1 guy, then I'm looking at highlight videos if he has them to get the shot form down and looking at full games to get tendencies solidified and somewhat attributes/badges but I'm using mostly stats for the attributes and badges. For the 1983-84 roster, I'm reviewing full games since there are multiple guys to adjust on the same team and gives a better feel for how they played within the team framework such as how often they posted up, etc.

@@jimbo2k191 Understood. Thank you for the insight. Im getting the hang of tendencys and watching nba film...its full of memories for me. lol Take care until my next set of questions. lol

Reebok - Pro Legacy. Those were the closest I could find to the Etonic's he used to wear back then.

Thanks! There are some that I use formulas when setting them, but it's mostly just feel and trial and error. A lot of them don't really lend themselves to any formula.

@@jimbo2k191 can you help me with finding some good formulas?

@@blainz8652 I don't know of any formulas. I just create my own. For example, the "dishes to open man" tendency impacts assists in simmed games so I look at the stats on the basketball-reference site and use the league-wide assists per 36 minutes or per 100 possessions and give the highest rating to the guy with the highest assist rate and adjust down from there for the other guys.

@jimbo2k191 okay I will give that a try. Will report back to let you know how it goes.

Ha, no worries. CAPs are created players. It's short for Create-A-Player.

@jimbo2k191 I'm having a debate with my bro about shot iq. I know it effects shot selection. Would this translate directly with fg%?

@@blainz8652 I don't know that it translates directly. I recall reading something from a dev at some point that it impacts to how good of shots they take. So it should impact FG% indirectly because they are taking better shots. I use FG% though as a factor for setting the Shot IQ when I'm making or editing players.

@jimbo2k191 thank you...I'm currently working on a personal project. I'm making an all time roster of MY favorites...Just a personal quest...but thank you for all your help. I truly appreciate it.

Triple threat idle doesn't mean they just stand there holding the ball for an extended period and doesn't have anything to do with dribbling. It's just when they are in a triple threat position, will they do a pump/pass fake with the ball, do a jab step, shoot, or do none of that. If you lower triple threat idle, they are more likely to do one of those moves rather than keep the offense moving along. Dribbling is impacted by the setup and dribbling settings. There are many different tendency settings competing against each other to determine what is going to happen with the ball.

@jimbo2k191 Understood...thanks for your help. I wish their was a manual of some kind. Would be helpful. Again thank you.

@@blainz8652 just takes a lot of trial error because there are so many tendency settings and they aren't well-defined. If you want to limit guys standing and dribbling, I lower the set-up moves, increase the no-set up dribbling, lower the iso tendencies, and increase the team's run plays frequency. You get more movement and plays instead of iso ball. You'll still get guys sometimes that will stand there dribbling though running the shot clock down.

@jimbo2k191 I'm doing it now thanks. Every time I think I have....something else comes along. Lol

Thanks! Sadly, I had to stop working on this for about 6 months due to work but I am back on it it now and jamming as quick as I can on finishing up the other teams. I'm on the Sonics now and keep updating the online file as I get more completed.

Thanks!

Ha, thanks!

Thanks! I may be able to do that at some point. I'm deep into trying to get this 1983-84 eras roster finished up at the moment.

There's a way to keep the stats in the video description. Someone on here posted a way to do it after I made the video so I added that to the description.

Nice! Thanks for the heads up. So annoying that the stats would be gone. I tried it out. I'll save you a step. You can just import the generic guy over Sabonis directly from the roster, no need to save the generic guy's DNA, and then change name, number and import in the Sabonis DNA.

can you show us a video how to do it

See the edit in the video description for the tip from timmytenders1999 on how to do that

@@jimbo2k191 Awesome. Thanks bro.

I was slammed at work for about 6 months and couldn't work on it but I was able to get back to it a few weeks ago. I finished up 3 more teams and have been updating the roster file on 2KShare as I work on it. I'll be posting some videos on the other completed teams soon.

@@jimbo2k191 I’m looking forward to it brother!

No, unfortunately.

Hey Jimbo! I just watched your tendencies video and I wanted to ask a couple of questions as I'm editing a roster For when plays breakdown and the AI is in freelance is Shot tendency is just how willing they are to shoot/activates their other tendencies? But touches is them calling for the ball or how often they get the ball? And also for stepback mid/stepback three do you know if those are related to/compete with other tendencies? For example if I have a high mid tendency like in the 80s and stepback mid in the 80s, I assume they'll do a stepback mid a lot, but does that compete with drive pull up mid? Or does having a high pull up mid make them do a stepback mid even more. Also to clarify about post up tendencies, if I wanted a player like Jokic or Sabonis who posts up and gets the ball near the elbow/free throw line a lot would settings their post up tendency a little lower like 20-40s make them post up more from there?

See the edit in the video description for the tip from timmytenders1999 on how to do that

@@wabba99 That's my understanding of the shot/touches tendencies in the freelance category. Touches will get them more involved in the offense and Shot will affect how willing they are to shot. I'm not sure about the interaction between the pull-up/stepback tendencies....I think they are considered separate moves. On the post players, yes, if you put their Post Up tendency lower, they will position themselves faced up to the basket from the FT line or outside more. For those guys, I'd probably put their Post Up in the 20s. Also, you'll want to make sure they have Post Up High play type and that there are High Post plays in the team's playbook.

@jimbo2k191 thanks for the reply! One last question if you don't mind, does shot close affect layups or is it a separate tendency? For example if I want someone to do a lot of floaters is it just tied to driving layup or does shot close matter too

Same😂, it’s not working lol

Just posted a video showing how to do it. I assigned Sabonis to the 64-65 Lakers and switched his number to 11, moved a generic guy from that team to the Kings, changed his name to "Bob Davies" and then number to 11 and then imported Sabonis over him.

​@@myronbevinsii278 It works. Just posted a video showing how to do it.

@@jimbo2k191 Thanks

Hey @jimbo2k191, thanks a lot! It worked perfectly.

I would probably keep the contested midrange tendency somewhere in the 20-30 range. Although, if they are a really good shooter, you could go around up to like 50 and be fine. You want to give them the Middy Magician badge and you want to give them a high shot IQ in their attribute ratings.

@@jimbo2k191 So does the contested midrange and three tendencies count for the general shots (shot midrange/three, spot up, and off screen) or the situational shots (stepback, spin, pull up)? Or Does it count for both?

@@jessenguttu8633 Not entirely sure. The general under basket, close, midrange and 3PT shot tendencies are for sim games only. The spot up/off screen shot vs. drive is for played games. I don't know if the contested applies to the stepback, spin, etc. shots but I would assume so.

Start in scrimmage, load the custom roster with L3 button, then back out to the 2KU menu without doing anything else and then select freestyle in the 2KU menu. I just tested it and it's still working.

In the appearance editor, go all the way down to "Chest" and then it's at the bottom of those options - "Body Shape"

Sorry, I don't have any rosters on 2K23 currently.

@@jimbo2k191 it cool thank I was asking because I was trying to make a tendencie for my player and I want him to be shifty and smart and be unguardable it been hard to create him because make a lot of mistakes like over dribbling if you got any suggestions please tell me

@@angesokoudjou9544 do you want him just shooting more or you want more direct driving to the basket?

Mostly driving and shot midrange but sometimes threes kinda of like a someone that like creating space to score

@@angesokoudjou9544 The four Iso tendencies should be high and Play Discipline and Driving In And Out should be low. To create more space off dribble moves, increase the various Dribble moves and lower the No Driving Dribble Move setting to about 35 so he is making moves and more likely to create space when driving. You'll want Spot Up Drive, Off Screen Drive, Spot Up Shot Mid, Off Screen Shot Mid, Spot Up Shot 3pt, and Off Screen Shot 3pt all fairly high. Those decide whether he shoots or drives if he gets the ball in a spot up position or when coming off screens. You want to set the Shot or Drive ones slightly higher than depending on which you want him to do more.

I think the floater is a considered a type of lay-up. So if a guy is driving to the basket, it's going to look to see if he does a Driving Layup or a Driving Dunk. If it's a lay-up attempt, then will he may do a Spin Layup, Hop Step Layup, Euro Step Layup, or Floater. If you want a guy to do a lot of floaters, you'll want his Driving Layup and Floater high but keep those other 3 significantly lower than the Floater rating so they are less likely to get selected instead of Floater. There's also the Float Game badge but that improves ability to make floaters rather than affecting the frequency of them. There was a badge in 2K22 called Limitless Takeoff that affected lay-ups, not just dunks...and you could set a guy with high lay-ups and floater and low dunking and give him that badge and you'd get these cool floaters and runners starting from pretty far out.

Thanks, man. Yep, good catch! I fixed it in 2K Share.

​@@jimbo2k191 Will I be able to upload my Jordon era 2k24 progress to 2k25? Because that would suck if I have to start all over again.

@@whataboutrob442 Unfortunately, no. 2K has never provided for any carry over to the next game. Yeah, totally sucks.

@@jimbo2k191 that sucks. They should change that. It's not like we aren't buying the new game. Lame.

@jimbo2k191 oh yeah, one more question. How about players I created. Will I be able upload those to 2k25?

Drive pull up mid would be for example if the player had the ball at the top of the key and beat their man off the dribble but instead of going all the way to the basket, they'll pull up around the FT line. Drive pull up 3 would be if the guy beats his man further out on the perimeter but then pulls up for 3 pointer instead of driving past the 3 point line and attacking the basket.

Is this within a MyLeague? If so, go into the Roster view and go to the "All Players" screen and he should be in there. Then you can edit him and change his number.

There's a few things. One will be if there are plays being run and the coach's setting for how often to run plays. If he catches it within a play, the AI logic is a little different than if it's just a freestyle action. The Iso settings impact post play too and how often a player would just ditch a play and take it himself in the post. I'm not sure you'd always want them immediately putting the ball on the floor in the post, but I'd want the following tendencies high: Shot Close, No Set Up Dribble, Post Back Down, Post Aggressive Backdown, Shoot from Post, Post Hop Shot, Post Drive, Post Spin, Post Drop Step, Post Hop Step, Shot, Iso vs. Elite/Good/Avg/Poor and the following tendencies low: Setup with Sizeup, Setup with Hesitation, Post Shimmy Shot, Post Face Up, Post Fade Left, Post Fade Right, Post Step Back Shot. Basically, you'd want him attacking the basket instead of holding the ball to face up or shoot a fadeway, etc.

Sure it does. What player/number/team are you trying to do?
