Finally after 4,5 weeks the project is finished!
I present the 2019-2020 season with edits from
CelticLG's Ultimate Attention to Detail, Hyperballer & DCAllAmerican's
NBA 50 rosters and of course my own part.
WholeNewGame features:
- Updated transactions till 8/21 except for Donta Hall (Nets) and Jarrod Uthoff (Wizards)
- Updated free agency list (accourding to hoopsrumors from 7/20 and some players assigned now to the G-League teams)
- Updated injuries till 8/21 (Players that opted out or left the bubble are listed as "injured" with personal reason)
- Badge updates (mostly taken from CelticLG's Ultimate ATD spreadsheet)
- Arena capacities (from the NBA Media Guide 2019-2020)
- Arena nicknames and arena names for TD Garden and Madison Square Garden have been added
- Adjusted crowd loudness (Feel the roar inside arenas like the TD Garden and "The Peake" or enjoy the silence at places like the Target Center)
- Team mantras for all teams have been added
- Tons of player nicknames and last team played for have been added (according from basketball-reference.com)
- Updated Player styles (inspired by CelticLG's Ultimate ATD spreadsheet)
- Height/Weight corrections according to ESPN
- Athleticism (Lateral Quickness, Speed, Speed w/Ball, Strength, Vertical) edits (tried to use Antdoggydogg's (Anthony Ananian) formula spreadsheet for it)
- Player position corrections (according to 82games.com but tweaked some postions for the bubble teams)
- Player accessories updates for several teams (already outdated for sure
)
- Tendencies, hot zones and player animation edits (from Hyperballer & DCAllAmerican's NBA 50 spreadsheet)
- A lot of player contracts have been updated or corrected
- Updated Player preferences and peaks (CelticLG's Ultimate ATD spreadsheet)
- More up to date player overalls
- Updated team rotations (according from lineups.com and popcornmachine.net) (In the injury free roster i left the rotations to 2k's auto rotation)
- Real staff members for all teams and a lot of unemployed staff members have been added. (from basketball.realgm.com) (I kept Gentry (Pelicans) and Boylen (Bulls) so it's up to you who you want to take as replacements)
- Head coaches have been updated and new graded (inspired by CelticLG's Ultimate ATD spreadsheet)
- Adjusted head coaches sliders and PoEs (I still believe the AI turns them always back to default before a game starts)
- Updated playbooks (from CelticLG's Ultimate ATD)
The base roster that i used was from 2k back in mid July
Shout-outs:
Very special thanks to Looyh because without your great effort, work and tools it would take forever or would be just impossible to get this roster out!
I also wanna thank the other roster makers like CelticLG, Hyperballer & DCAllAmerican and Antdoggydogg (Anthony Ananian) for inspiring me and for sharing their work with spreadsheets!
And last but not least i wann thank people like SergioGCD, zetsuboushta, MonkeymanJSV for the feedback!

Roster file: WholeNewGame (will be released very pretty soon!)
Known issue: 2k sees the sure names of Tim Connelly (Nuggets), Phil Cullen (Spurs), Tilman Fertitta (Rockets) and the first name of Pelicans Owner Gayle Benson as inappropriate . So these first names and sure name will always get reset.
Special Info: If you want to update the player faces you need to reassign the face id for Nemanja Bjelica because i used him for Nate Tibbetts.
Regardless which sliders, set the MyLeague stat distribution sliders for rebounds to: Offensive Rebounding to 32 and Defensive Rebounding 22.
This should help better distribute rebounds to your guards in a more realistic way.
Also tryout: acceleration slider: 70 and the speed slider: 75.

Transactions: William Howard (Rockets) have been removed from the roster. He signed a deal with a french team (ASVEL Lyon-Villeurbanne) before the restart.
