"AND WE BACK". What's up 2K community? It's release day for NBA 2K2 and that means that another year of the Attention to Detail project is beginning. As usual, I like to start by thanking you for the tremendous support we received last year, when we released the 2K21 ATD Roster on all the six platforms. It took an immense amount time and effort, without the ATD Community none of this would be possible, I'll never get tired of saying that. Now it's time to build on last year's success and improve.
We plan to release the roster on all the platforms (PS4, PS5, Xbox One, XBox Series S/X, Switch and PC) but, as usual, release and update times will be different from one console to another based on the amount of the people that is working on the roster and how much time they can spend editing. If you want to help us with rosters and check the progress closely we have a Discord Server with over 600 users divided into sections for each platform.
If you want to support us and live the full ATD Experience I recommend checking the 2nd post of this thread where you can see how can you have access to all our Patreons benefits like the new MyNBA Generator, all our spreedsheets, the MyNBA tracker, our Tendencies, Attributes and Badges guide, historic players requests and more.
Below I leave you the list of release dates, which will be updated whenever we have news. Let's have a great year of sim basketball!
