How to Remove Generic Player Nickname in NBA 2K
Make the Nicknames Disappear
The issue with the generic players is actually their nicknames. The good news is that you can make the nicknames disappear.
Here’s how you can remove the nickname and add a proper player name instead.
- Create your player and then export his DNA.
- Then navigate to your custom roster, edit a player and important the DNA your created earlier.
- Save your roster. Feel free to edit any additional features you want. That’s it.
Useful Tips
- Select the weak bald generic players. They’re generally more open to DNA changes.
- Pay extra attention to the Play initiator value. It seems this value keeps the data from the original player.
- If we’re talking about retired players, select a player that’s not part of the team where the number is retired.
- Feel free to carry out the trade as you want. You can also assign the player if that’s the method you want to use. And don’t worry about it. You can edit the player number if it’s not correct.
- Try to use players whose names are in the commentary database.
Gamers tested this method on many CAP players. And it worked every time provided that the player has a name which is available in the commentary sound files.
Conclusion
To overcome the nickname problem of generic players, you can edit your roster and import the DNA of a created player onto the generic players. The game will then use that information as a filler.
