NHL2k25 (NHL 2k10) x360

[rangers9911]

Another season has come to pass and another free agency has begun.
I've begun work on my NHL 2k10 x360 roster for the upcoming season. I anticipate these rosters being used for exhibition, season, and playoff mode only.

Current Status of Roster:
1st Release: November 6, 2024 - here

To Do List:
1. Free agency moves - Done
2. Trades - continuously monitoring through season
3. Player creation - As needed
4. Finalize rosters - Done
5. Rate NHL players/skaters - Done (not completed for November 6th release; see release notes)
6. Rate Minor Leaguers (not done for November 6 release):
A. Skaters - WIP (11/26/2024)
b. Goalies - completed (11/28/24)


Notes/Recommendations:
- How to add to your Xbox when available
- I do recommend using VeNoM3099's 2021 sliders with this file.
- Keep in mind, this is a decade-plus old game; Faces, equipment, etc may not be accurate due to restrictions with editing.
- Goalies are rated using Shogun's goalie edits so, ratings may look incredibly off but, this makes for better gameplay in my opinion.
- Like older season rosters? Check out the NHL 2k Roster updates thread
What sources do I use for my rosters:
- NHL/AHL official team rosters
- NHL Hut Builder
- capfriendly
- dobberprospects
- sportsforecaster
- various scouting resources
- dailyfaceoff/leftwinglock
- PC/Console roster updates
- Discord roster editing server discussions

Just a little roadmap here for how I see this season playing out:

How many releases?: I'd like to get 3 in this season. Again, always subject to change- will definitely be no more than 3 releases.

Initial first release:
Will come sometime after the 10 game mark for each team.
NHL rosters will be updated with players (positions, jersey numbers, captains), ratings will be untouched from last season for this release
Some minor teams will have some accurate player names but, ratings and positions will not be accurate

Trade Deadline:
NHL will be updated with all moves and hopefully working my way through player ratings
Continue working on minor league players

End of season (sometime after playoffs):
NHL/Minor league squads ratings completely updated. Hopefully.

You gotta love leeches like this.


Btw, I did some experimenting with 2 teams in a playoff series whereby I bumped up a good number of defensemen's nebulous attributes (e.g., confidence) as well as playing with sliders and team strategies. For the most part, I like the effect and with all defensemen's shooting tendencies maxed out, see them taking more shots, though not necessarily on goal, which I believe is realistic. I have the file if anyone wants to experiment with it.

Interesting, I had put down 2K10 for a few years but I picked it up again because of these rosters and I keep trying to do something about how super slow -- unrealistically in my opinion -- players are when turning or changing directions. No, they're not on concrete in running shoes, but players in most regular speed situations, especially standing still, should be able to just stop and push in another direction. I've got Ice Friction on 100 and it still doesn't have the desired effect. I've thought about cranking Acceleration all the way just to see them instantly change directions, but that will also have bad effects on top speed in a straight line. It's one of the big things in the game I still don't like 14 years later.

Progress update:
NHL teams are up to date through 10/15/24. This includes player positions, styles, team captains, jersey numbers, rookies being created etc. Just working on getting rookies some initial ratings. Additionally, most minor rosters have the correct players and the majority have correct positions (according to official AHL rosters) and player styles. As a reminder, ratings will not be accurate for the minor league skaters.


Things are looking good for a release once each team crosses that 10 game mark.

I can’t create a new thread, sorry to hijack

I just got a ps2 emulator and 2k10, anyone have up to date rosters? Even if it’s last year, just something more current.

Also, anyone have the best realistic sliders?

Again; sorry to hijack, I can’t create a thread I guess

I’m new to emulation, decided to try cause NHL25 sucks, ps5.
