1946-47 BAA/NBL Season Rosters [Xbox One]

[Crystar500]

1946-1947 BAA/NBL Season



I'm back at it again.



Sorry there's no cool picture here, but let's pretend there is.





Welcome back to the early days of basketball. The league we know as the NBA has roots in two leagues - the BAA and the NBL.



Franchises that started in the BAA:

Boston Celtics

New York Knicks

Golden State Warriors (Philadelphia Warriors)



Franchises that started in the NBL:

Sacramento Kings (Rochester Royals)

Detroit Pistons (Fort Wayne Zollner Pistons)

Philadelphia 76ers (Syracuse Nationals)

Atlanta Hawks (Tri-Cities Blackhawks)



The Lakers played in the NBL during the following season.



It's not often we see homage towards the ones that started it all, along with their struggles in a league that was still relatively new. In this roster, you'll go back to basketball fundamentals, which take advantage of 2K16's improved gameplay.



I studied the early days of basketball for a long while, so I thought I should put that studying to good use. I did this roster for 2K16, but only finished the BAA before 2K16's release. If you don't have 2K16 yet, be sure to give it a try. The file is named "46-47".





I'm going to release 2 at a time for you guys. Usually in relevant pairings (Ex: Celtics and Knicks.). With each release, I'll give you guys a bit of history behind that team's season as well.





I've already done some branding for the Philadelphia Warriors with stuff that's already in-game. (As in, without uploading anything.) Too bad Xbox doesn't let me share the screenshots yet. I think the jerseys came out really nice and I wanted to show you guys. It breaks my heart that we can only do three teams, though. But I guess we can just rebrand before every game, right? (That's convenient, right 2K?!)



How can I help?



Uh, I don't need much help on the roster side, actually. I just need time. I don't think you can give me that.



Logos, that's a different thing. I need logos and jersey concepts for the teams. I want to update the branding for a lot of these teams. Some of the old logos are kinda racy (Philadelphia Warriors and Sheboygan Redskins), some are just way too old (Rochester Royals and Syracuse Nationals), while some just plain don't have logos (Toledo Jeeps and Chicago American Gears).



If you want to lend a hand with this, it'd be greatly appreciated. PM it or post them in the thread. Below is a list of what teams need branding.



BAA:

Washington Captiols - Needs Branding! (No Logos)

Philadelphia Warriors - Done.

New York Knicks - Done. (No rebrand, they're fine.)

Providence Steamrollers - Done.

Boston Celtics - Done. (No rebrand, they're fine.)

Toronto Huskies - Done.



Chicago Stags - Done.

St. Louis Bombers - Done.

Cleveland Rebels - Needs Branding!

Detroit Falcons - Needs Branding!

Pittsburgh Ironmen - Done.



NBL:

Rochester Royals - Needs an Update.

Fort Wayne Zollner Pistons - Needs an Update.

Toledo Jeeps - Needs Branding!

Youngstown Bears - Needs Branding!



Oshkosh All-Stars - Needs Branding!

Indianapolis Kautskys - Needs Branding!

Chicago American Gears - Needs Branding! (Important, since the best player of both leagues was on this team.)

Sheboygan Redskins - Needs an Update/Rebrand.

Anderson Duffey Packers - Needs Branding!

Detroit Gems - Needs Branding! (4-40 record...)



Make sure if you help with a logo, the logo works with 2K's upload system. As in, it's transparent, and fits within the ratios of 1:1, 2:1 or 4:1 depending on what logo type it is.

You can't use the Reditor on next gen rosters from what I know of. Everything is handmade.
