With the release of 2k17 I've started a project to try and bring as many BB players to life in a playable game as possible. Players from all over the BB world are being created from the USA all the way to Algeria and Indonesia. I've done my best to come up with a way to translate the few skills in BB into the variety of skills in 2k so that each player is unique and different from other players who may look similar in the BB world.

For anyone looking to download the roster it'll be up on the xbox version of the game this friday with a small sample of the players I've already completed. I've attempted to make the players BB faces translate into the game as well making for some special looking player (not always in a good way).

The roster will include current players as well as BB legends such as:
Howard Davis (26040327) Joe Bronson (7929116)
Kris Hunt (23475222) Dexter Dennison (9221766)
Shawn Bowens (24737454) Bill Weeks (11772141)
Darryl Meek (28412518) Irwin Velasco (8868669)
Gary Acker (24733336) Lorenzo Bland (11777035)


International Players
England-Jeremy MacAusland (27582809) Estonia-Jüri Uusmaa (28918576)
Denmark-Gregers Bagger (27750759) Greece-Alekos Tournas (26401256)
Turkey-Oguz Can Arhan (29664568) Poland-Patryk Piklikiewicz (27853145)
Germany- Stephan Timmermann (26270847) Bahamas-Tim Burns (33363281)

So the roster is up and can be downloaded from the gamertag of DarkJester11 with the file name being BB World
All players currently on either the Warriors, Wizards, or Trailblazers
Ages for players have been reduced by 4 years from their BB ages to reflect actual age distribution in NBA more closely

Awesome stuff! I don't have 2k17 on Xbox but I can imagine this is pretty cool. Great work!

Had to pick up a few of your guys for a couple reasons.
1. They were on the NT last season
2. Had to represent a former opponent from III.7 back when I thought I was ok at this game XD

You crazy ! :D

France- Kévyn Bessin (25006186) Completed
France- Pierre Le Moigne (25010829) Completed

They were both members of my team for several seasons. What skillset did you use ?

They were just on the TL so thats what I had for skillsets

Bessin

IS-16 ID-18 RB-14

Le Moigne

JS-19 OD-19 PA-13

Don't want to put up the full skill set just in case the new owner doesn't want them up

Bessin suffered a double down last season. He was 18 IS and 16 RB at his peak. ;)

2. Had to represent a former opponent from III.7 back when I thought I was ok at this game

That was my first D-III league. I remember the battles against your team all too well! ;D

Bessin suffered a double down last season. He was 18 IS and 16 RB at his peak. ;)

Looks like someone is about to get better :) Bessin was sitting at an 83 overall before the update and Le Moigne is an 87. France has a couple of the stronger guys so far and I still have a few to make
