Alright, so today I’m gonna walk you through how I messed around with Jamal Murray’s stats in NBA 2K. It was a fun little project, and I figured I’d share the steps I took and the bumps I hit along the way.
First things first, I needed to actually get into the game’s files. I remembered vaguely hearing about some tools, so I started digging around online. Eventually, I stumbled upon a couple of 2K modding tools. Downloaded ’em, crossed my fingers they weren’t full of viruses (you know how it is), and fired them up.
Next up, I had to find Jamal Murray in the roster files. This was a bit of a pain, honestly. The files are just walls of numbers and names. I ended up using the search function in one of the modding tools and typed in “Jamal Murray”. Thankfully, it worked, and I found a whole bunch of stats associated with his player profile.
Okay, here’s where the fun began. I started tweaking his attributes. Increased his shooting percentages, bumped up his dribbling skills, gave him a ridiculous vertical… basically turned him into a demigod on the court. I was cackling like a mad scientist the whole time.
The tricky part: Saving the changes. I hit a snag here. The modding tool I was using kept throwing up error messages when I tried to save the modified roster. After some frustrating trial and error (and a lot of Googling), I realized I needed to run the tool as an administrator. Simple fix, but it took me way longer than I’d like to admit to figure it out.
Finally! I saved the modified roster, hopped into NBA 2K, and loaded up a quick game to test out my souped-up Jamal Murray. And let me tell you, it was glorious. He was hitting shots from everywhere, dunking over everyone, and generally dominating the game. It was ridiculously unbalanced, but hey, that was the point.
I messed around with his badges too. Gave him all the best shooting and playmaking badges. He was unstoppable. Felt a little cheap, but it was fun to see him go off.
I also tried changing his appearance a little bit. Gave him a crazy haircut and some wild accessories just for laughs. The in-game commentary didn’t acknowledge the changes, which was a bummer, but still, it was funny to see him running around looking like a basketball anime character.
The biggest lesson learned? Always run modding tools as administrator if you’re having save issues. Seriously, that wasted so much of my time. Also, backing up your original roster files before you start messing around is a good idea. Just in case you accidentally corrupt something (which I almost did).
- Downloaded 2K modding tools.
- Located Jamal Murray in roster files.
- Tweaked attributes (shooting, dribbling, vertical).
- Struggled with saving changes (admin privileges!).
- Tested the modified roster in-game (domination!).
- Messed with badges and appearance.
Final Thoughts
Overall, it was a pretty straightforward process, once I got past the initial hurdles. It’s a cool way to mess around with the game and create your own personalized NBA experience. Just remember to back up your files and be careful with the modding tools you download. Have fun with it!
