Levy's revamped 1992-93 NBA Season DLC is out now!

Welcome to the 1992-93 Season DLC! This is a project that initially started in 2015 when I was on the move throughout Europe while volunteering at different households. The internet connection was very bad or completely missing due to the poor hosting by some of the people in the volunteering network (sadly many were taking advantage of the volunteers too which tells you all about the level of decency our society got to in the 21st century).

     My initial project was based on the 1991-92 season mod created by other 2K11 gamers around 2012-2013. As it usually happens with big projects like this, the community based mod was a fiasco because player's ratings were wrong and many had wrong cyberfaces while many players from 1992 NBA were missing. That's were I decided to step in with all my knowledge about the game and 25 years of NBA watching at that time.

     As of 2020 you can forget about the previous attempt to create a playable 1992-93 NBA season. That is all gone because now I've completely revamped the 1992-93 DLC. I personally wasn't happy with the previous version so I've decided to redo it entirely starting with the player database and ending with the graphic part. It took me on and off about 5 months to complete this project between November 2019 and March 2020. So there you have it: the best retro mod ever done for an NBA 2K game! To be more convincing I am going to tell you this is the DLC I am using to play NBA 2K11 in 2020 during the global COVID-19 lockdown when governments and the World Health Organization are still looking clueless at the cousin virus of the previous SARS they ignored since 2003.

     This new version of the 1992-93 DLC includes realistic players with team rotations from the 1992-93 season, 3 teams (Bobcats, Grizzlies, Raptors) that weren't in the NBA at that time but can't be deleted from the game so...they got real players who were injured or away from the NBA during 1992 and 1993 (and that is a bunch of decent players!).

    On top of that this DLC was made from scratch on a clean, default 2K11 Roster file basically an official file which I modified into a retro mod. That means this DLC can be used to play a 100% guaranteed bug-free game in the Association Mode, something I am actually doing at the moment. To make things even more realistic and interesting, I created impeccable draft classes starting with the 1993 Draft Class that can be added to the game following the 1992-93 season. Now how cool is that? For more details about this particular part please check my post(s) about My PHX Dynasty which is an Association Mode game that makes use of these DLCs.

     If you followed the evolution of my NBA 2K11 modding throughout the years, you already know my game is now faster, teams shoot more threes, have better defensive skills, there are more dunks in transition, teammates box out and big men rebound more intelligently, all players make better use of the screens, and the CPU makes better substitutions based on the fatigue method (which triggers the real NBA stamina of each player separately).

     The 1992-93 NBA Season DLC features:

- a realistic gameplay based on my own formula that gives realistic scores, percentages and correct movement of players on the court that emulates the real NBA pace

- players with accurate bio (position, height, age, college, draft pick), appearance (eyes color, muscle & body type), skills and tendencies (including touches, isolation, post up, spot up etc.)  based on a template and several formulas I use now that take into account real stats from NBA players career (it calculates career average ratings per 36 minutes from the data sheet on https://www.basketball-reference.com)

- complete roster (14-15 players) and an accurate lineup plus correct situational (starters and bench players) for each team; historic players for 3 teams (Bobcats, Grizzlies, Raptors) that weren't in the NBA at that time but can't be deleted from the game so...they got real players who were injured or away from the NBA during 1992 and 1993

- advanced textures for player faces created specially for NBA 2K11 or in many cases taken from NBA 2K14 and applied to 2K11 faces that make players in this mod look crispy clean and more realistic than any other video game on the market in 2020 thanks to the genius in rendering of 2K11 that is so difficult to match by more recent "modern" games

- a completely new portrait system for the player's in-game photos with round action photos

- some players' names were tweaked to match the NBA 2K11 name list so the arena announcers can pronounce them; those who weren't on the 2K list in 2010 when the original game was launched will be called by the number on their jersey

- real coaches names (two per team) with real height, cyberfaces and experience years

- historically accurate courtside dornas and reserves chairs, stanchions, banners, floors and jerseys with hex edited colors for each team used in 1992-93

- a new retro TNT Sports presentation and scoreboard with the addition of my logo for the 1992-93 NBA Season DLC

- my own global textures for 2K11 that include progressive sweat, skinnier/realistic legs, simple retro accessories etc.

- sepia style background photos of the top players in the NBA in 1993 for the game menu

     If you want to understand how my version of the game works, you should go to the How To Play The Game page at the top of this blog. There are explanations about the Game Settings, Game Sliders (that also work with the Coach Mode on) and the Universal Coach Profile.

     Installation guide for my roster file:

1. Pay & get the roster file (.ROS) and the season file (.RFG) then place them 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 game files. To do this, go to “Options”, select “Load/save”, and load > “Roster1819″ or "Season1819". Go to “Manage Roster” to check if you have successfully updated your NBA 2K11 PC roster.

     In case you're interested in acquiring this mod, send me an email to leeunagi@gmail.com first. After that I will provide you with my PayPal account where you can send your payment for this mod. As soon as I cleared your payment, you will receive an email from me containing the Roster (.ROS) file and the Season Mode (.RFG) file along with all the links to the files contained in this DLC. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Enjoy your game, folks!

NBA Stories: A shout-out to me from Bill Simmons and The Ringer podcast

2020 is a year that started auspicious for Lee Unagi and his YouTube channel. In case you wonder why I am writing this is because...that is me. My actual name is Levy Nagy but Lee Unagi is the version of the name I came up with while I was in Asia teaching English to kids who wanted a more Asian-friendly name for me as they were struggling with my natural Hungarian name in the classroom.

I went to sleep last night getting notifications from YouTube followers and got a bit surprised at the growing numbers of subscribers on my channel in only a few couple of hours. First thing I checked when I woke up was the news. Surprisingly for me, I got a shout-out on Bill Simmons' newest  episode (number 14) of The Book Of Basketball 2.0 podcast on The Ringer network. Even more surprising was that his guest was Steve Nash, my all time favorite NBA player whom me and other knowledgeable NBA fans consider the last pointgod (a point guard who played godlike basketball) in the NBA. 

There was a link to YouTube and a short 7 minute video with Bill and Steve talking face to face while some highlights of the infamous Game 4 of the 2007 NBA Playoffs Western Conference Semifinals between Phoenix and San Antonio were rolling in the background. The poster for the podcast with Robert Horry's hip checking Steve Nash into the sideline boards  was exactly the picture I cropped and used as a cover for the same very game I uploaded to YouTube in May 2019. That felt good but...must have felt awful for poor Steve!

Another quite shocking thing for me after listening to Bill Simmon's latest podcast with Steve Nash was to find out Steve never really watched the Suns games over the last years and especially the fact the game I uploaded - which Bill asked him to watch entirely so they can talk about in this episode on his podcast - gave a whole lot of anxiety to Steve Nash because of the way things were handled back then by the referees, David Stern who died only a couple of days ago, and the over aggressive Spurs players including Bruce Bowen and Robert Horry. I am really sorry my upload brought sadness and desperation to Steve Nash who evidently was lost for words a few times on the podcast. Also I couldn't not notice Nash wasn't really prepared to have this conversation with Bill despite he is in general a great spokesman and well informed.

On the same 7 minute short video from the podcast, people commented on YouTube saying that Steve Nash is underrated although him and the Suns revolutionized basketball and shaped it the way it is played nowadays.

• The problem is you bring on a player and it turns into a boring interview. With another NBA writer/historian it’s an awesome back and forth conversation between knowledgeable people. Nash admits he doesn't think about this stuff and can’t remember half of this stuff 👍 but as player interviews go this one isn’t bad.

• This was the best podcast in the series so far. Well done!
• Nash is underrated.
• True but the man did win not one, but TWO MVP’s.
• Yeah. But he still does not get enough credit for it.
• People spent a decade slandering him because a white boy won an MVP over Kobe, sad people!
• He is definitely properly rated.

• ME: He is underrated! Just because you and me appreciate him doesn't mean the majority of the people do the same. He has been underrated all his career starting at the draft and when signed with Phoenix in 1996 (the best draft in the NBA history!) and booed by Phoenix fans (yes, you read it correctly!).

• Nash is underrated because he played on one of the best teams in the NBA, but really was FAR better than the other two of the "big three". Stoudemire and Marion were both fine, but neither had any chops on their own: Nash was the engine and soul of that team. Think abut it: they were mostly even with the Spurs, who had a "big three" who could each create by themselves of play off the ball. Stoudemire and Marion could really create efficiently by themselves. Each brought something. But Nash was the key. Reminds me of Barkley in Phoenix. KJ was never enough as a second fiddle. Same with Nash. Both first ballot HoF-ers.
• Dude would thrive in today’s NBA, was just a little to early.
• Since 2000 I don’t think there is a pointguard that has gotten more people paid than Nash. A lot of players owe him a few steak dinners for what he did to their career.
• Steve Nash is the player that really "changed the game." Everyone else took the league he made to the next level. Congratulations to them, but don't erase what Steve and those Suns did.

• That Horry hip check killed the series. As Simmons wrote in his book "even a washed up Horry could swing a series". LOL

• One of the most controversial plays in NBA history and no one even scored.
• Refs always ruining something.

• Make no mistake, the Suns CRUSHED Cleveland twice that same year. San Antonio went on to sweep them but Phoenix would have as well. David Stern decided the championship when he suspended the Suns' leading scorer and his main back up at the same time.

• Probably one of the greatest teams to never make a finals. Though once or twice they were clearly screwed.
• Thinking about that series just made me sick. The league hated the Suns.

On that last note, let me add this. The now defunct and much praised David Stern by the media people who didn’t really know him, helped the Spurs back then and robbed the Suns of their chance to advance to the next round. Spurs were a great team but they were preferred by Stern as they better fit the NBA's international marketing agenda (which ironically was the biggest achievement of David Stern's career as NBA commissioner). 

When fans discuss the commissioner's decision to penalize the Suns by the book, they all realize the law was applied wrongfully - and Phoenix fans knew it back then already. One of the comments on my Game 4 video clearly states the undeniable facts. The rule IS NOT if you “leave the bench you get suspended” or “step on the court when a foul has occurred”; according to Stu Jackson, VP of officiating, the rule it is: “if you leave the bench DURING AN ALTERCATION, you get suspended.” If you check the tape, the “altercation” (assuming it rises to the level) had not happened yet when Boris and Amare came off the bench. It’s only well after Amare and Boris come to check on Nash and are right by his side that the altercation takes place. So the suspension of Amare Stoudamire and Boris Diaw was...unlawful but made by David Stern in a "horry" (you get the pun!).

A few more things about me and the passion for basketball and the NBA. I've been listening and reading Bill Simmons analysis and comments about the NBA for about 15 years, never really missing any of his podcasts. Steve Nash is the player I tried to emulate unintentionally during my 13 years of amateur basketball playing. He was my doppelganger in the NBA. I had played football brilliantly until high school when I fell in love with basketball. Technically speaking I turned long 25 meter leg shots on the football field I used to kick (and destroyed a few rusty goal posts!) into later well known long threes on the basketball court opposing teams were afraid of in the 90s because they didn't know how to guard them so far from the basket. I played basketball at semi-pro level until graduating from college when I got my spinal cord injury just like Steve(!), not to mention I am white European and had long hair for years. 

I've watched Steve's career from day 1 and knew right away he would turn out to be THIS good. The rest is just hate and envy coming from low IQ players like Shaq & co. and their so-called "fans" who just jumped on bandwagons like Lakers, Heat and Warriors at the time. Life is unfair but worth living as long as you keep in mind what Steve Nash always said (but not many listened): "Let's have some fun out there!".

NBA Stories: Dirk Nowitzki, not your usual retired basketball player

Another NBA legend came to the end of his career... This time is someone greater than usually. It's Dirk Nowitzki who is the European basketball player with the longest career - even if not the most successful career compared to Tony Kukoc. I watched them both from start till end, and I am more pleased with what Dirk achieved. Tony was a fantastic player and 3 time NBA champion with Chicago Bulls but Dirk was a humble guy who happened to be unguardable in game due to  his size and one leg fadeaway jumpshot. Something that now is forbidden by the soft NBA system just because the 'punk' Reggie Miller abused it with the extra kick he flexed that leg to create space for his three pointer jumpshot.

I remember Dirk Nowitzki from day one he entered the NBA. Because I am a lifetime Phoenix Suns I noticed the trades my team used to make with Dallas Mavericks. So I ended up watching Dallas sometimes because one third of their roster was full with ex-Suns players. A.C. Green, Cedric Ceballos, Michael Finley, Steve Nash are only the most notorious players on that list. But one day this skinny, tall white guy with blond hair was substituted in and life for real basketball fans in Dallas was never the same.

Dirk was an amazing shooter. In case you didn't know the story he destroyed the NBA All Star team when he was only 18 by scoring 42 in one game. That's when Charles Barkley tried to convince him to skip army and go to play college hoops at his Auburn University. Anyway, here comes Dirk straight to the NBA one year later and now everybody is watching him showcasing that typical German precision we all know about if you lived in Europe long enough. What people don't know his humbleness is not German at all. That is only his! I always said Dirk is the nicest German guy you will ever meet.

The time I cheered the most for a player and even a team apart from the Suns was the 2011 Dallas Mavericks. I remember clearly my childhood friends writing me back to my posts on social media about the NBA playoffs and the Finals that year and everybody I talked to agreeing Dallas deserved to win. Some were saying if god existed he would have allowed that to happen. I still have the Dallas 2011 playoffs run along with hundreds of other NBA games in my archives, and watching both the 2006 and the 2011 Finals bring back wonderful memories. All that thanks to Dirk Nowitzki.

The following paragraphs are from the official retirement ceremony reported by the NBA media.

Nowitzki never shared his retirement plans because he didn't want a farewell tour, but he also said he only began serious deliberations on retirement when his lower body gave him issues late in the season. The 14-time All-Star got the farewell treatment on the road anyway, with opposing fans chanting "We want Dirk" and giving him standing ovations, and LA Clippers coach Doc Rivers stopping a game, grabbing a public address microphone and honoring Nowitzki. But the league's 2007 MVP and 2011 NBA Finals MVP also knew how difficult the past two seasons had been physically, including missing the first 26 games of his final campaign after a longer-than-expected recovery from ankle surgery last April. Nowitzki was experiencing flare-ups in his feet and ankles late this season. "It takes a lot at 40 to get ready every night and then with the foot pain," Nowitzki said. "It just took a little bit of the fun away from the sport I love. I think that actually made the decision easier for me." [Yes, the same was the case with Steve Nash and his lower back pain - Me].

Just like that, the best player in Mavericks history officially ended a 21-year, future Hall-of-Fame career. Nowitzki rose from an unknown foreign Draft prospect to a league MVP and NBA champion while revolutionizing the game with his combination of height and shooting touch. In doing so, he lifted Dallas from its doldrums to perennial contention and league-wide respect.

For that and much more, Mavericks fans serenaded Nowitzki with one chant just as heartfelt as the one before: "THANK YOU DIRK." That followed messages of admiration and appreciation NBA legends in attendance. Larry Bird, Charles Barkley, Scottie Pippen, Shawn Kemp and countryman Detlef Schrempf spoke in honor of the player who was shown in an old video listing each of them as among those he idolized growing up in Germany. "The only guy that was missing was MJ," Nowitzki said, referring to Michael Jordan - the player he passed to become the oldest to score at least 30 in a game. "That was my No. 1. They brought Larry Legend. I mean, it's, that was an emotional moment when I saw all five of them and I was in shock really."

"This is obviously super, super emotional. Just too many people to really thank. I put you guys on a helluva ride with a lot of ups and downs, and you guys always stuck with me and supported me, so I appreciate it." This is how the NBA report ends.

Well, true fans will support their favorite players no matter what. At least this is what it used to be. Luckily for Dirk, Mavericks fans always had the patience and passion to cheer for their stars. And they deserved to get and keep Dirk Nowitzki until the end. 21 seasons! Basketball players and their so-called fans of this new millennial era will never understand this kind of loyalty. I am so glad I had the chance to witness greatness of the golden era of NBA and international basketball.

Here is the video with the somewhat ad-hoc retirement ceremony that took place on April 9th, 2019.

And because basketball wouldn't exist without fans, I will share some of the most interesting comments I've read on YouTube where the people commented about the ceremony and the legacy of Dirk Nowitzki. I also added a few of my replies to their comments.

JS: I could not believe that Larry bird and chuck actually came. Chuck was just in Minneapolis the night before😂😂and when was the last time Scottie Pippen was social like that

Me@JS: Scottie is very active lately. Check his appearances on ESPN. He even taught NBA teams how to defend James Harden in 2019.

RG: I still dream of mavericks with nash and dirk and what would have happened if they didn't go separate ways

Me@RG: I am the biggest fan of Nash since he was drafted by PHX (and everyone else was booing him!) but I wonder the same.

Mavs got lots of faces that shaped the franchise, and Dirk certainly stood out among the rest. He could have left and joined other teams for multiple rings, but he stayed for 21 years in the franchise that drafted him. Man, humble.

Dirk is one of the best, most loyal player in NBA history. A true role model.

All time great!! Nice and humble guy.. had a great career...  mavs fan are lucky to have had him.

You can't spell DALLAS MAVERICKS without D-I-R-K

More than 31.000 Points, 11.000 Rebounds, 3.000 Assists, 1.000 Blocks, 1.000 Steals und 1.500 3-points. All for the Mavericks.

The perfect example that you don't need to be an asshole to be a great and competitive player. think about it, he came as a young, lanky guy from Würzburg who only had played in the 2. league in Germany. then he won every major award in the NBA, revolutionised his position and by doing so, he kept the same goofy, loveable and most importantly humble human being. that's beyond greatness!

My son now is 4 months old. That's why I name him Dirk because of you Dirk Nowitzki. My Favourite Nba Player Of all Time. #LivingLegend 41/21/1

I flew twice from Germany to Dallas on my own just to see him. It was worth every dollar and every hour of flight time. He is a legend to me because he's one of a kind. I don't know any other athlete who is so successful and at the same time so down-to-earth like Dirk. A role model on every imaginable level. Take care, Dirty and thank you for 21 years!

GV: Mark Cuban should pay Dirk all the paycuts he have made for his entire career. Enjoy your retirement Mr. MVP!

Me@GV: $80M?! Mark Cuban promised to give him a job for life and to build him the biggest statue. I'd say that's not bad.

I am a laker fan and my feelings towards dirk were not positive, but watching this tears come to my eyes...legend

It feels like a part of my childhood is gone

Greatest fade away jump shooter of all time hands down!!!

yo daddy: Lmao in his fade-aways he barely puts his leg up

Me@yo daddy: It's not legal anymore! It's the (NBA) PC era now... You can travel but not compete.

Fan of you from 2006. You are humble and hard-working and talented. Thanks for your guide in my life

Got your jersey hanging in my room right next to the bed to remind me everytime I see it before sleeping why I love the game of basketball so much. Thank you for all the memories and inspiration Dirk. A true loyal legend to the very end.

HH: The first time I watched NBA was during the 2011 NBA finals ... Damn that series ... The mavs and dirk were the reason I started to follow NBA afterwards 😌😌 #MyGOAT #Legend

Me@HH: My first NBA game was...in 1991 but the 2011 Finals were the best and the 2006 Finals the craziest because of Dirk. ;)

I'm Japanese but your are my favorite. Your Championship is the most meaningful of the NBA history I've seen ever. Thank you Dirk.

Hats off to the legend, think about all that money he gave up in order to help the team.

Dirk and Wade both scored 30 on last game and retired the same time!

Comparing to Wade’s circus “last dance”, this is certainly more respectable

H: Dirk will mean more to Dallas fans than Kobe or D-Wade mean to their fans. Only Dirk could do what he did, take PAY CUTS (Kobe) and stay with one team like Dirk did.

Me@H: This is the best comment to all those LAL and MIA fans who hate on DAL and Dirk. Hats off to you, sir! :)

Such a super underrated and humble player... RESPECT THE LEGENDARY DIRK

I will not forget that Dirk destroyed the Super team by D. Wade and L. James(denying he has never been in Super team)

Real champion.. didn't ask for superstar teammates. Won a championship the right way.

Goodbye to the last honest player in NBA history! Not a Mavs fan but this dude is legend!

And now the real test starts for Dirk, good luck

Will gonna miss some legends next year

This new generation of basketball better be good with all these iconic superstars fading away from this league

How can anyone dislike this? I mean srsly... Even if you hate the mavs u gotta respect the man...

It is hard to find negative comment about my man Dirk, this restore my faith in people.

Well, there is always something negative in the comments. Even if not pointed straight to Dirk... Once someone brings up another successful player, the haters come out of their closet. And if it wasn't redundant enough to associate god with a moron's username it would be all swell... I will end with this.

Coin Roll Hunting and Basketball: What the hell, they're not giving credit to Jamal Crawford [from Phoenix]? He had 51 points [against Dallas in Dirk's last home game]. Who was the oldest player ever to score 50+ got 39, and no one's given him credit.

Lolll Jdd: Jamal Crawford as oldest player to score 50+ points.

Swag God: unfortunately no one will give a fuck, dirks career> jamals entire ancestry

jamexxxxxxxx: @Swag God he scored 50 at 39 years old, IDIOT

Hood Rats Unknown accomplice: Swag God why can’t u just be happy for both of them you asshole

Yeah, why can't we all just get along?!...

The 2018-19 NBA Season with the 2019 NBA All Star Game is out!

        Good news, everyone. The wait is over! A few hundred of hours of work on my side, a few spare bucks on yours is all it takes to have the best version of the 2018-19 NBA Season on PC. Yeah baby, 2K11 is still by far the best basketball game in 2019! I know I said earlier that I am not gonna publish the work I've done with the recent NBA seasons but guess what...I decided to do it instead. Thanks to my sponsor (Igor, you're the man!) I got very motivated and in less than a month I managed to update the 2018-19 NBA Season.

     Not just that the game now looks awesome but with the newest gameplay and a couple of more minor adjustments for the formulas I use, it feels better than the non-competitive NBA games on TV! If you were used to my older gameplay you will be surprised how much it changed. Now it is faster, teams shoot more threes, have better defensive skills, there are more dunks in transition and big men rebound more intelligently, all players make better use of the screens, and CPU or allegedly coaches substitute players better etc.

      This is really how I imagined the game 8 years ago. I love it so much that I decided to buy a game controller (I haven't had one since 2014 because I was enjoying managing my teams with the Coach Mode on since then) and took on my favorite Phoenix Suns trying to dig them out of the bottomless hole they are historically in. Let's call it the snakes pit of Arizona desert. Haha!

        In other news, I decided to give the real 2018-19 NBA season another chance and occasionally I am watching full games especially with Philadelphia 76ers, Lakers and Toronto. You can tell I appreciate the new, young team in Philly, or Lebron and Kawhi. The rest...I find it boring especially with the non-competitive rules the NBA managed to lower the standards this decade.

        I've chosen to release and post the 2018-19 NBA Season DLC during the All Star weekend on 15-17th February 2019. But as far as my concern I won't watch anything related to the 2019 All Star Game. This event died a long, long time ago. FYI this is why the organizers are trying to bring back the good old times and ask Vinsanity take part in the dunk contest and Dirk in the 3 point contest. 'Cause that's when 'tha real shit' happened!

       This doesn't mean I don't respect the game; on the contrary, I created it and add it to my game! Everything related to the actual NBA season is represented properly in my DLC. To be honest, I love the videogame more than the reality recently; of course when it comes to NBA played in the 90s, I prefer the reality and often go back and watch games from that era (I just bought another 2TB HDD to archive the games I have!). 

        The 2018-19 NBA Season DLC is the product of a few hundreds of hours of work. It contains:

- realistic gameplay based on my own formula that gives realistic scores/percentages and also correct movement at a real NBA speed on the court

- complete roster (14-15 players) and accurate lineups plus correct situationals (starters and bench players) for each team; also a few free agents and basically every player who was active in NBA for at least 5 games before the deadline in February 2019

- high definition and many 'new generation' textures from NBA 2K14 & 2K19 applied to 2K11 faces (with tattoos!) that make players in this mod look crispy clean and - thanks to the rendering of 2K11 - more realistic than any other 2K game on the market in 2019!

- the All-Star weekend with accurate players that you can use in the Quick Play mode and realistic jerseys, arena and court based on previews published by nba.com early February 2019

- accurate skills and tendencies for each player based on a template and several formulas I use now that take into account real stats from NBA players career (it calculates career average ratings per 36 minutes from the data sheet on https://www.basketball-reference.com)

- a completely new portrait system for the player's in-game photos with long rectangular action photos

- some players' names were tweaked to match the NBA 2K11 name list so the arena announcers can pronounce them; those who weren't on the 2K list will be called by the "Money" nickname (this way at least it sounds like a made basket when they score but if you don't like it, you can change these things in the game by editing the player's bio)

- real coaches names (two per team) with real height, cyberfaces and experience years

- real courts and jerseys with correct colors plus the city edition jerseys for each team used in 2019

- an NBA TV presentation and scoreboard with the addition of my logo for this DLC
- my own global for 2K11 that includes the best stuff released over the years in the gaming community including progressive sweat, skinnier/realistic legs, Nike accessories, long leg pads etc.
- new canvas style background photos of the top players in the NBA this year for the game menu

- a few G-League teams with jerseys and courts to replace some now defunct D-League teams (credits to DaCrispy!)

       This DLC comes with all the necessary files plus the Roster file and the Season Mode file where I set up complete roster for the teams along with accurate lineups from the beginning of the season. Be warned you will need to use my Game Sliders and Coach Profile plus Fatigue as substitution method that is in the Settings file (don't worry it will be all sent to you by email!). The game is using Real Player FG & FT percentages and I advise you to play it that way if you want to see realistic effects.

        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 Sliders (that also work with the Coach Mode on) and the Universal Coach Profile.

        Installation guide for my roster file:

1. Pay & get the roster file (.ROS) and the season file (.RFG) then place them 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 game files. To do this, go to “Options”, select “Load/save”, and load > “Roster1819″ or "Season1819". Go to “Manage Roster” to check if you have successfully updated your NBA 2K11 PC roster.

        In case you're interested in acquiring this mod, send me an email to leeunagi@gmail.com first. After that I will provide you with my PayPal account where you can send your payment for this mod. As soon as I cleared your payment, you will receive an email from me containing the Roster (.ROS) file and the Season Mode (.RFG) file along with all the links to the files contained in this DLC. I am looking forward in hearing from you. Enjoy your game, folks!

        Here are a few extra, random screenshots for you taken during the season I am playing with the terrible Phoenix Suns.

2019 news

       Hi y'all! There is so much since I've posted here last time. You might think I took time off but on the contrary...I managed to finish older projects and learned new techniques. Here is what you didn't know I've been doing in the last 3 months. Yeah, I know time flies...

        1. I finished the 2008-09 NBA season mod which I focused on quite a lot because of the mistery Phoenix Suns roster that year which was a championship calibre team but failed because they changed the traditional 'run and gun' strategy by bringing Shaq who obviously slowed down everything for 1 season and a half. So...despite a 46 wins and 36 loses record, the Suns didn't even make the playoff in 2009! That makes them the Shaqtin A Fool team of the decade. The DLC comes with beautiful round action photos for each player. To be posted soon...

        2. I finished the 2010-11 and 2011-12 NBA season mod. This was a must because it brought the game where it should have been to the literally 'out of the box' state because we are talking NBA 2K11 from 2010-2011 NBA season here, right?

        3. I finished the 2017-18 NBA season mod but I decided to not post it because I lost interest in today's NBA. Believe it or not I also finished 90% of the 2018-19 NBA season but probably I will keep it to myself for now.

        4. I found the BEST formulas and the most pleasant and somewhat realistic gameplay for NBA 2K11, something I was looking for more than 3 years(!) and something I was dreaming about for 20 years(!!) of playing basketball videogames. This is what I am using right now when I am playing the game. Have a look at this page on my blog: How to Play the Game

        5. I finished the BEST mod ever done by anyone for a 2K basketball game: the NBA Stars In NCAA project. This is something I have been doing for more than a year but I managed to focus on only this winter once my other NBA mods were done because that's where I borrowed most of the players from. So basically it is a HUGE mod which allows you to play in Quick Game or Season Mode(!) with ANY team from a list of 80+ NCAA teams each having realistic players who competed in both NCAA and NBA. You can call it a historical mode if you'd like.

        6. Part of #5 on this list, I learned how to make HD (4000x2000 resolution) courts in NBA 2K11 so this is pretty much what I am doing these days. I only do NCAA courts because I want all those 80+ teams to have realistic, jaw-dropping courts you can use with my legendary NCAA mod. BTW, for those who are interested, the mod will cost a bit more than usually. It contains 1000+(!!!) realistic players so you know we are talking greatness here. Not to mention I did everything in this DLC by myself (with a little help with the courts from another modder). In case you can't compute the amount of work I put into this...it is 3 times the work a whole 2K Sports team put into their crappy default NBA game!).

       I am too busy with the NCAA project (and also playing with it!) but I hope I can find some time to post more about it in the near future. Until then a few teasers below.
