Levy's 2002-03 NBA Season DLC



         Have you ever wanted to own the last NBA season Michael Jordan played when he was with the Washington Wizards? As a tribute to his legacy, here is the 2002-2003 NBA Season I’ve created for you following 2 years of work with long interruptions due to my 'work and travel' lifestyle on 4 continents.

        As always, my intention is to make all files available (so other patchers can use them for free) except for the roster file which is 100% my work and basically loads the mod - which would be available to users in exchange for a $10 fee (lunch price in Europe) via PayPal.

         As always the biggest part of my job was the gameplay itself. You can find all the adjustments inside the Roster file (.ROS), part of them are related to players skills and tendencies, another part to Coaches Profiles. I managed to make everything run flawless after trying for so long to correct a few 2K Sports bugs like un-guardable player moves ("hopping" and "stepback jump shot") and shots especially the bankshot ("use glass") which players rarely missed. I also chose to eliminate the leaner and drifter shots from the game because they look ugly and unrealistic.

         If you want to understand how my version of the game works, you should go to the How To Play The Game link on this blog. There are explanations about the Game Settings, Game (Active Coach Mode) Sliders and the Universal Coach Profile. Using your own settings and sliders will not give the results I intended with my Roster and the in-game formula! When paying for the MOD, you will get all those from me in an email.

         In case you're interested in acquiring this mod, send me an email to leeunagi@gmail.com first and then I will provide you with my PayPal account where you can send your payment for this mod. After I cleared your payment, I will send you an email containing the Roster (ROS) file.

          This mod features a realistic Roster with:

- Correct team and arena names, logos, jerseys, coaching staff and players
- Players with accurate: 1. bio (position, height, age, college, draft pick), 2.  appearance (cyberfaces and portraits , eyes color, muscle & body type), 3. skills (based on 36 minutes stats), 4. tendencies and animations (based on real NBA situations and implemented with a special formula), 5. contract years/salaries
- Personalized arm/legs color, body shape for every coach & player
- Asigned black and white colors to each player’s shoes and accesories (white for dark skin, black for bright skin)
- Tweeked a few player names so the announcers will call them by a similar name instead of „ABC“ e.g. Malone for (Jeff) Maloney etc.; the rest of the names that are not on the 2K/REDitor list have the "Money" nickname by default but were made editable in-game in case you want to give them a different nickname
- In order to avoid unwanted bugs I chose to activate CHA Bobcats with players who were playing abroad/injured that year or simply missed the 2002-03 season

           Installation guide for my roster file:
1. Pay & get the roster file (.ROS) and place it into your NBA 2K11 SAVES folder.
2. Download ALL mod files (.iff, .cdf) from the links I will send you by email and install them into your NBA 2K11 GAME folder.
3. Lastly, start the the game and load the new roster. To do this, go to “Options”, select “Load/save”, and load > “Roster0203″. Go to “Manage Roster” to check if you have successfully updated your NBA 2K11 PC roster.

         Feel free to use my email leeunagi@gmail.com in case you have any questions. Of course I will ignore any stupid messages from people who are acting like trolls. So please be more open-minded and ask the right question(s) if you want to hear back from me. And of course, keep 2K11 running and have fun! ;)
