NBA 2K23 Eras Roster & Draft Inventory

[VDusen04]

I feel it may be of use to have a centralized location where we could find specific Eras roster and draft sets for each system, as I'm having a difficult time tracking things down myself. I know threads get easily lost here but if you happen to have a roster or draft in progress, it'd be nice to know about it.

XBox

Great thread! Can’t wait to see what this looks like in 6 months!

[StormsWarning]

This definitely needs a sticky, creator contact mods, we have one of these for mlb and Madden. Great idea to keep up with creative content.

Xbox users have less options… stay tunned to Celtic’s ATD project for 2k23 rosters. Every year they make a really awesome work with all the tendencies, lose players, etc…

I have updated the 2002-03 roster set. Improvements to all missing players. Rookie contract extensions and updated tendencies to help with immersion!

I would suggest D_Respect for 2003 Draft. My upload scenario has his draft class loaded.

Rad. Went ahead and updated.

Yo, this is awesome. Thanks for shouting out my stuff.

My '83 rosters are complete. The contracts are iffy, because there's an issue where editing the salary at all makes it default to 2022 standards, so then your ninth man is making a disastrous $1.02 million. So, I tried to look at how much longer these players remained on their current teams and made educated guesses, creating "contract extensions" which keep the salaries normalized.

Also, as posted, I do have 84-87 draft classes posted. All have all first round picks and more important and key later round/undrafted guys. Arvydas Sabonis was placed in the 85 draft (as it was the first year he was drafted), and David Robinson won't be able to miss two years to serve his Naval service, so it will create a weird alternate timeline. I wish you could "euro stash" players like on old gen, but I guess you can't, unless there's something I'm missing.

I intended to create a pretty comprehensive draft class inventory and rosters for all eras, but apparently the game limits you to a TOTAL of 10 rosters/draft classes combined. So, I'd like some feedback from the community: would it better to just press on with '83 rosters and 9 consecutive draft classes, or rosters for every era, and 7 draft classes? It does seem there's more quality coming out on non-OS 2K Share files, but a lot of the rosters and draft classes still feel incomplete.
