PCBasket 2K: 20-21 Season Update 3.0 Courtside Report




At the end of 2019, we started a project that we called "PCBasket'' for NBA 2K20. We wanted to do something revolutionary. The reason for calling it PCBasket is to pay tribute to a manager video game created by spanish developers who had great success in Spain in the 90s. Secondly, to combine the best basketball in a very general concept "Basket": NBA, the main competitions in Europe and national teams (FIBA). PCBasket is not a simple roster but that the purpose of this roster is to faithfully reflect european and the  best international basketball simulator NBA 2K.


Not counting the NBA which is the best league in the world, in Europe we have one of the most demanding levels of basketball, where we can find very talented and intelligent players where fans are very passionate. Euroleague, Eurocup and BCL are considered the toughest continental competitions in Europe at a professional level.  Unfortunately we cannot enjoy it in an official video game.


Here is where PCBasket plays a leading role because with this custom roster you will have at our disposal the NBA, Euroleague, Eurocup, BCL, ACB and FIBA teams.  New 101 teams are distributed in 3 categories that I will detail later. So far, we have released two versions that have been a beta of what we want to do. However without a doubt the jump in quality comes from the hand of the 3rd version, where you will experience a substantial improvement in all terms.


Creating more than 100 new teams from scratch is not an easy task and it would not have been possible without the help of some incredible guys like Arnau13, Iviliki, Saruman, Xemita99, ErMapale, Uspar and Krazstar.  I also want to thank you Looyh for his fantastic 2K editing tools which has made editing easier. I don't want to forget TGSoGood, a guy who regularly contributes to the NBA 2K community with numerous tutorials and he is the one who inspired me to begin designing renders. Also, thanks to MonkeyMan, Gregkwaste, TwisT, who have contributed with their work in some way.  Dee4Three, who really spreads the passion for basketball and statistics wherever you can read him. I can assure you that without passion for what we do, it would have been impossible to do a huge project.


We have done a research exercise to reflect every team in the most realistic way.  We have always kept in mind the logic in terms of levels since these new teams coexist with the NBA teams on the same roster. We have studied how 2K makes use of the ratings and have adapted them to European and international basketball so that the game experience is totally different and faithful to reality.
