With the latest editions to V16 the Ultimate Base Roster now contains ALL championship teams since 1970 (plus many more)!
• 8 new teams added (00 Suns, 88 Lakers, 85 Lakers, 84 Celtics, 77 Jazz, 76 Celtics, 73 Knicks, 70 Knicks)
• Added the Brooklyn Nets logos/courts/jerseys (does not affect 01-02 Nets) – courtesy ThaKing
• In the last update I made sure all teams worked in Association/Season mode. I’ve fixed some bugs which now allow you to successfully sign FAs, make trades, select “Fantasy Draft”, and choose as many teams as you want when customizing your league using ALL classic/retro teams without it crashing to the desktop
• 6 new courts added (5 retro – courtesy Francis27nba)
• 10 new cyberfaces added – 1 courtesy of Kieran
• Multiple jersey numbers, player appearances, and tendencies were updated for better accuracy
• Current teams are updated using the latest NBA2K official update

This is the "Ultimate Base Roster" file for NBA2K12. I’ve named it this because of all the other extras included in just ONE roster file and all functions work (association, season, etc) without overwriting any data.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. You will see 2 folders in the WinZIP file.
2. You need to place everything located in the "Main NBA2K Folder" winzip folder into:
C:Program Files (x86)2K SportsNBA 2K12 (NOT THE SAVES FOLDER)
3. You need to place the file named “UltimateBaseRosterV16” located in the "SAVES" winzip folder into: C:UsersYour NameAppDataRoaming2K SportsNBA 2K12Saves
Then open the game and load the “UltimateBase” roster.
For Steam users:
C:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonNBA 2K12
(Note – if you load the roster and not all the teams are showing then first load “Unlock All Settings” from the load menu. I included this file for anyone who hadn’t downloaded it yet (courtesy Jao).
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will installing the Ultimate Base Roster (UBR) overwrite anything?
A: No, UBR does not overwrite any game content. You’re asked to overwrite files when installing because the mod utilizes some hidden content in the game and has to tweak those files to make them work properly.
Q: Are the regular teams updated?
A: UBR uses 2K’s official roster updates – check below to see what the most current version is.
Q: Why do I see headless players with white arms/white jerseys?
A: This is caused by installing the files to the wrong folder. Extract all the files into your 2K12 folder except the .ROS file, which should go to your saves folder.
Q: Why do I see black courts?
A: This is because the custom courts in the mod are made for high graphics settings. The only solution is increasing your graphics settings.
Q: Why do some retro teams at the Quick Play screen have REALLY low overall ratings?
A: Just ignore the overall ratings at the Quick Play screen. All the right players are still on the team with correct ratings. This doesn’t affect game play.
Q: Why is it when I scroll into the rotation menu the retro team minutes are scrambled.
A: The reason for this is because some players are mirrored onto the All-Time Teams. Just don’t scroll into the rotation menus for any year-specific team. You can change your lineup if you would like at the quick start menu or in the game making substitutions. This allows you to scroll into the All-Time Teams to make changes without the annoying pop up always coming up. Players still start the game correctly and substitutions are minimally affected.
Q: Can you add my favorite team?
A: It takes a lot of time and effort to accurately add teams – So be patient. If you’d like to help, create it with accurate players/ratings/pro years/ages, and send. It’ll be tweaked and added to the next version. I typically always create your team if you send in a donation.
Q: I’ve found a bug!
A: First of all, make sure what you found is consistent – 2K12’s engine is known to produce a lot of weird situations at times which doesn’t happen the next time you play. Second, make sure it’s actually caused by the Ultimate Roster Base and not any other mods you installed – This game is highly moddable and installing a dozen mods at the same time can cause conflicts. If you can reproduce the bug with a certain formula and are sure that it’s caused by UBR, report it and include the info about how it happens, what are the consequences, etc.

Fake Bench Player Edits:
As most of you know NBA2K included some "fake" players on the ends of the bench for some of the retro teams. I went ahead and edited those players with the correct players. For each fake bench player I used basketball-reference.com to determine which player(s) were left off the team. For each fake bench player I did the following:
• Changed names to accurate ones
• Changed numbers to accurate ones
• Changed positions to accurate ones
• Changed heights/weight to accurate ones
• Added portraits for those I could
***NOTE*** I did NOT edit player attributes or appearance yet for every player (simply because that is going to take a long time). I thought it would be a good start to instead just add the correct information I listed above for each player. Now there were a few players I did go ahead and spent some time on. You will notice those as you play (Nick Van Exel and Rick Fox for the 98 Lakers, Barkley for the 85 sixers, etc). The majority of players, however, I only changed the information I listed above. The following is a full list of edits made to the Retro Bench Players:

IMPORTANT NOTE #1: I highly recommend going to the rotations menu and reviewing the All-Time Franchise Team rotations before playing. Since all teams have 15-20 players it's important that you go and select which players you want on your 12 man team that will be eligible to play in your game. Remember some teams have as many as 8 IR spots because I gave these teams extended rosters.
IMPORTANT NOTE #2: You may notice that the Retro Team "OVERALLS" that show up at the Quick Play Screen are out of whack - just ignore it - it doesn't affect game play at all.
IMPORTANT NOTE #3: Because I've mirrored some players onto the All-Franchise Teams there is one negative consequence. When you go into the Rotations Menu I HIGHLY recommend that you don't scroll through the Specific Year Retro Teams as you will be constantly asked to "update this team's rotation minutes". The game play still works perfectly and substitutions are made correctly, however because some players are mirrored onto the All-Franchise teams the game gets confused and will constantly ask you to change their minute rotations. So a word of advice: Only scroll through the Current NBA Teams and/or the All-Time Franchise Teams when entering the rotation menu.
IMPORTANT NOTE #4: Please be aware that in order to create space within the roster file I disabled the 14, 29 and 58 game association/season modes... so if you want to play association or season with this particular roster you'll have to select an 82 game schedule... if you want to play one of the shorter schedules you can still load any other roster... by downloading this file it doesn't mean you won't have access to the condensed schedules in other rosters... it just means you won't be able to get those shorter schedules to work with the Ultimate Base Roster.... most people select 82 games anyway, so it shouldn't be a big deal - but I thought you should be aware.
As always Current NBA Teams were left untouched and unaffected - and rosters are updated as of 5/18/12.

IMPORTANT NOTE #1: I highly recommend going to the rotations menu and reviewing the All-Time Franchise Team rotations before playing. Since all teams have 15-20 players it's important that you go and select which players you want on your 12 man team that will be eligible to play in your game. Remember some teams have as many as 8 IR spots because I gave these teams extended rosters.
IMPORTANT NOTE #2: You may notice that the Retro Team "OVERALLS" that show up at the Quick Play Screen are out of whack - just ignore it - it doesn't affect game play at all.
IMPORTANT NOTE #3: Because I've mirrored some players onto the All-Franchise Teams there is one negative consequence. When you go into the Rotations Menu I HIGHLY recommend that you don't scroll through the Specific Year Retro Teams as you will be constantly asked to "update this team's rotation minutes". The game play still works perfectly and substitutions are made correctly, however because some players are mirrored onto the All-Franchise teams the game gets confused and will constantly ask you to change their minute rotations. So a word of advice: Only scroll through the Current NBA Teams and/or the All-Time Franchise Teams when entering the rotation menu.
IMPORTANT NOTE #4: Please be aware that in order to create space within the roster file I disabled the 14, 29 and 58 game association/season modes... so if you want to play association or season with this particular roster you'll have to select an 82 game schedule... if you want to play one of the shorter schedules you can still load any other roster... by downloading this file it doesn't mean you won't have access to the condensed schedules in other rosters... it just means you won't be able to get those shorter schedules to work with the Ultimate Base Roster.... most people select 82 games anyway, so it shouldn't be a big deal - but I thought you should be aware.
As always Current NBA Teams were left untouched and unaffected - and rosters are updated as of 5/18/12.
