2k12 95-96 roster - PS3 ONLY

[qpc123]

I have uploaded a 95-96 roster file to 2kshare.
There are two versions of the roster one contains Created Teams for the Grizzlies, Bullets, Nets, and Suns. The other uses the regular versions.
Filename: 1995-96 full roster version 1.2(this is the version without CAT's)
1995-96 full roster version 1.3(this version includes CAT's)

This roster contains:

At least 12 man rosters for all 29 teams(Bobcats have been 'nerfed')

I purchased the DLC and was able to add players from it to this roster. The roster has the 'classic' versions of guys like Glen Rice, Steve Smith, Dan Majerle, Kenny Anderson, Kevin Johnson and others. This means if you have not purchased the DLC the players from it will appear with no head and white arms. I apologize if this is an incovience for anyone who doesn't have or can't/won't but the DLC. For me the ability to move the legends from the default roster freely and the extra players was worth the $10.

Ratings and tendencies have been edited for every player to represent the 1995-96 season. Sim stats are not perfect as FG% are slightly low resulting in lower team PPG, assists, and rebounds in certain cases. However, the stats will fall within realistic parameters with players getting 10+ rebounds and only Jordan averaging more than 30PPG. I had a hard time getting some stars there numbers in assists and rebounds, namely Stockton (who averaged 11+ APG in the real 95-96 season and I have yet to get him above 9.9, everyone else is fine since no-one else averaged more then 10 APG) and Rodman (who doesn't get his correct average per game of around 14 RPG due a MPG issue, he usually plays 28 in Sim Test and 33 in real life, his per minute averages are close to real-life, even giving him 45+ MPG only raised his sim average MPG to 31).

Coach profiles are based off the ones I used for my 2k11 95-96 association file so they are close but still need some tweeks also.

If you want to use these for season mode you will need to control all 30 teams and re-set the rotations to get realistic sim stat results. Here is the link to the season summary:http://www.basketball-reference.com/.../NBA_1996.html

I set the starters based on Games Started and the bench by Games Played until I don;t have enough minutes for the next player. Round MPG up for starters and down or not at all for reserves what ever is left is given to the starters starting with the star player. You can also copy the rotations that I set in the roster file. These players who were injured and played very few games like Webber and Mashburn are not in the rotation, neither is Magic Johnson.

I'll list the teams with a few notes and the jersey's you'll want to use to better represent the 95-96 season.

Sixers18-64) 2nd worst record in league. Rookie Jerry Stackhouse(1st team All-Rookie), Clarence Weatherspoon under-sized PF starts at SF think Charles Barkley light. Jersey: Home-current, Away-current or retro 4

Bless you.

I'll be looking forward to the one you upload with 29 teams. Did you by any chance use the edits from portlandblazers thread for the '96 Bulls and Sonics?

[knoccoutderek]

[ffaacc03]

People, this is it ... those who have had a taste of qpc work know what I would say ... these are the best classic rosters you will find on our console (ps3) ... even at this stage and despite whatever few edits may be due ... in fact, I am going to try and relive those memorable playoffs right away ... to try and emulate in a realistic way, will use the teams that lost all series back then, as I am currently strugling vs pro/default AI ... hehe, that way the ones that were supposed to advance will (albeit a miracle). Thanks qpc, you made my weekend !

Thanks also to knoccoutderek and cd90, hopefully I will integrate the team in a more direct way soon.

for sure, if it wasnt deserving of praise trust me, I wouldnt give it. But this roster id EXTREMELY impressive and I highly recommend it to anybody who owns a playstation 3.

If you need help down the road (once I complete my own roster project), I'd love to help you in anyway possible.

It's awesome to see some more great roster work done on the PS3!

[cdub71323]

Haven't played with these yet but obviously they sound great

QPC, any chance you could make an all-time classic roster for each team? I know DurtySoufReppin usually does it but I can't remember exactly why but he won't be able to play the game for a couple of months. Maybe Bedwardstory and his group can help out also

I could help you put rosters together or look at his 2K11 one for ideas on who to put on each team. Do you do everything like faces, equipment, etc.?
