How to plagiarize a roster and call it official

STEP ONE
Download Real 2K Insider [06-07-10]

STEP TWO
Download 2K Share rookies without editing their ratings (Ryan Richards on Spurs w/ 67 overall?)

STEP THREE
Label said roster as "THE OFFICIAL 2K11 ROSTER" - TONS OF RESEARCH DONE 2 THIS ROSTER 2 BRING U THE BEST B.BALL EXPEREINCE!

------------------------------------------------------------

This is pretty much what the user I3aSkEtCaSe did, and he currently has the most downloaded file on XBox 2K Share.

My interactions with user I3aSkEtCaSe over XBox Live

Real 2K Insider: LOL wut u know about research?

I3aSkEtCaSe: GO FUCK YOURSELF AND UR ROSTER... I NEVER COPIED YOUR CRAP ASS ROSTER... YOUR JUST ACTING LIKE A REAL FAG CAUSE MY ROSTER IS BETTER RESEARCH PRICK...

Editors Note: Never seen anyone get so defensive so fast.

Real 2K Insider: Good job answering the question.

I3aSkEtCaSe: AS BY THE WAY CJ WATSON IS NOT 23 U DUMB ASS... THATS MJs RETIRED #... ALL MY JERSEYS ARE MOSTLY CORRECT & SALARIES TOO. THAT WEBSITE U USE IS WRONG WIT SALARIES. I DO MY RESEARCH.

Editors Notes
1. C.J. Watson's number was 23 last season, and is obviously retired. However, he has yet to select a new number. Until he does, I won't be changing it, as his current number serves as a reminder to periodically check for his new number.

2. I went to nba.com/team/roster for all jersey numbers and player heights & weights. If a jersey number is "incorrect", it's because that player doesn't have a new number yet (such as the aforementioned C.J. Watson).

3. Shamsports has the best contract information on the net, as Sham puts more research into the NBA than anyone I know. So perhaps this user should do some research of his own. Moving along...

Real 2K Insider: LOL that why ur Lakers ratings are IDENTICAL to mine? Plz enlighten me. Research?

Editors Note: It's true. Download Real 2K Insider [06-07-10] and make a comparison.

I3aSkEtCaSe: OH, BY THE WAY U HAVE A BUNCH OF PLAYERS WIT RETIRED JERSEYS ALL OVER... U SHOULD DO MORE RESEARCH... IF U WANT U CAN USE MY ROSTER IF U WANT. IM GOING ON VACATION.

Real 2K Insider: LOL how bout dem ratings? Nobody cares about JERSEYS lollll

I3aSkEtCaSe: I DIDNT USE UR ROSTER & I DESERVE RESPECT 4 THE HARD WORK I PUT IN. WHAT U DID WAS WRONG PUTTING UP DOWNLOADS JUST 2 PUT ME DOWN. THATS SICK SHIT.. MY RATINGS CAME FROM UR WEBSITE DAMMIT! PLUS I FIXED THE TOO LOW ONES. LIKE BIBBY & ROSE ECT

Real 2K Insider: u deserve respect for copying others work w/o given credit? thats called plagiarsim bud. then calling them OFFICIAL? yeah, you're a real hero.

I3aSkEtCaSe: ALOT OF PEOPLE LIKE THE CORRECT STUFF... THATS WHY I GET OVER 1500 DOWNLOADS A DAY

Real 2K Insider: LMAO legimtiately fraudulent. get your own ratings and hop off my nuts.

I3aSkEtCaSe: LIKE I SAID B4... I DIDNT COPY UR FUCKIN CRAPY ASS ROSTER. LOOK AT IT DICKHEAD. ITS NOTHING LIKE YOURS. WHAT THE PURPOSE OF PUTTING UP A WEBSITE AND NO ONE CAN USE EM. THATS A JOKE...

Real 2K Insider: You get 1500 downloads bc you claim they're official. Nothin but a fraud.

Real 2K Insider: And LOL @ nothing like mine when ratings are 95% of a roster.

I3aSkEtCaSe: FUCK UR RATINGS ASSHOLE... THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT UR MAD THAT MY STUFF IS BETTER THAN YOURS...

Real 2K Insider: lol who mad when u curse up a storm over "research". Bottom line the only research u put in was all of mine.

I3aSkEtCaSe: 1500 DOWNLOADS BECAUSE EVERYBODY LIKES IT & KNOWS ITS BETTER. SO KEEP BASHING ME LIKE THE FAG THAT U ARE. IM ORIGINAL JUST LIKE MY WORK. U FUCK U TRYING 2 STEAL MY HARD WORK LIKE U DID IT. WHAT A PRICK. YOU NEED HELP. IT AINT MY FAULT IM DOING A BETTER JOB THAN U.

Real 2K Insider: Lol how bout dem Lakers?

I3aSkEtCaSe: THE ONLY RESEARCH IM PUTTIN UP IS MY OWN.. SO DONT PLAY YOURSELF...

Real 2K Insider: Right. Googling me is all you.

I3aSkEtCaSe: how about your research... lol

Editors Note: I kid you not, this was his first uncapatalized message.

Real 2K Insider: u know exactly what it is or else u wouldn't use it - don't worry - everyone will see the research on YOU soon enough.

I3aSkEtCaSe: dont worry im a keep doing what im doing. updating MY ROSTER. i aint going nowhere...

Real 2K Insider: Likewise. Have fun copying me next year :)

i3aSkEtCaSe: like i said b4... never copied ur roster... in ur mind u wish it was yours... ill b there next year too... like this year with my own roster...

Real 2K Insider: dont play YOURSELF. your FAs all have my positions and I never released that on the website. RESEARCH? u honestly think i cant recognize my own roster? LOL WUT U KNOW ABOUT RESEARCH!!!

Real 2K Insider: Case closed fraud.

Editors note: It's true. I changed Sun Yue to SG/SF, Morris Almond to SF/SG, Kirk Snyder to SF/SG, Gerald Green to SF/SG, Mike Sweetney to C/PF, etc, and all the players I lowered to 25 overall are exactly the same.

i3aSkEtCaSe: it looks like ur on my nutsack.. are you sure ur looking at mine... my lakers are not like urs.. u probably forgot to load mine & still lookin at urs.

Editors Note: From the guy who just said he copied them from the website.

i3aSkEtCaSe: youll never make a good detective...

Real 2K Insider: Sorry kid, but I don't have Da'Sean Butler rated 72 overall in any of my rosters. WUT U KNOW ABOUT RESEARCH!?

I3aSkEtCaSe: ???? what about butler... i downloaded it from dna ??? who cares. and my lakers are completely different from urs... its not UR FUCKIN ROSTER RETART... u need help. look at my roster everything is completely different. ur going roster crazy bro.

Editors Note: Which means I AM looking at your roster, genius. By the way, isn't 72 overall a wee bit high for a 2nd round rookie that blew out his knee? Where was your research and hard work there?

Real 2K Insider: lol even my black armed Arroyo is here. a later build would have removed him. KUDOS on finding out the TRUE reason i left him in.

I3aSkEtCaSe: i never fixed butler... goes 2 show THATS NOT UR ROSTER

Real 2K Insider: idiot. you DL'ed my June 7th roster which was pre-draft.

I3aSkEtCaSe: crap... 346 downloads to your 33. the whole time weve been connected... u can say what u want or do what u want. i aint going nowhere little cry baby ass prick. im a sleep good 2nite because ive done nothing wrong.. FACE IT...

Real 2K Insider: a REAL official roster would use 2Ks last update. w/ updated socks, jerseys, headbands, and dynamic attendence. you're nothing but a liar in denial about the disservice hes doing the community - for DLs and "fame"???

-------------------------------------------------------------

What a classy guy.

Give this schmuck a poor rating and let the community know my roster has been significantly upgraded since this plagiarism occurred.

dude, we got u.
I think we all can agree your roster deserves to be up at the top.

u found a fraud exposed him case closed, EXCEPT..

how much time u spend tryin to find all the ppl "frauding' ur roster? (bc theres alot)
just name the GT let us see for ourselves, and then rate.
minus the net drama.

thankx and looking forward to the completion of synergy edits.(all teams)

Rashidi said...

I don't spend much time looking at other people's rosters.

The reason I DID check this roster is because there was a roster released by another user with the following title.

Espn rosters 100% acurate ratings for all player 19/8/10

Desc: no troy murphy rated 73 and brook lopez 75 like 2k has

Coincidentaly, I had just finished updating the Nets today, so this naturally stood out to me. Those are my overall ratings (2K Sports has Brook Lopez at 80 overall, so it certainly wasn't them they're talking about).

It occured to me that the top downloaded roster is titled "Official 2K Roster" and I correctly guessed that it wasn't the official roster.

If someone wants to trick a community into thinking something is official, that's one thing. But to take my work and smear it all over this false advertisement? I'm going to take that very personally and do everything I can to make sure everyone knows that they're being lied to.

Hound said...

Nice Rashidi. He (i3asketcase) had Butler @77 Ovl. And I noticed the plagrism. That isn't cool. Your rosters are great though!

Anonymous said...

I looked at both rosters and the ratings and everything else is different.. I dint find anything different except for arroyo with the different arms. Thats not somthing you did.
That error is from the original template of the game. what dose that mean??? Everybody that has it must be your roster. I dont think so....

Rashidi said...

Check out how many rosters have Kirk Snyder at SF/SG instead of SG/SF.

It's a short list.

I have a list of every single free agent change I ever made. They're all in his roster.

Rashidi said...

That includes rating changes to Stephon Marbury (66 from 70), and Smush Parker (59 from 64), by the way.

It's all there.

Anonymous said...

You should spend more time on Fixing your roster, and let us decide who's doing a good job or not. Also having c.j watson wearing #23 is disrespectful to MJ himself. Especially when he's on the cover of 2k11. It shows how much knowlege you have while your doing your rosters.

Rashidi said...

I've stated my reasons for leaving Watson #23. As soon as his new jersey # is announced, it will be changed.

If anyone has information on his new number, let them step forward.

Rashidi said...

Additionally, I'd consider Synergy conversion a "slightly" more important work than JERSEY NUMBERS.

One of them can wait.

Anonymous said...

All i have 2 say is... when u put up a roster it belongs to everybody! Thats why its called 2K share. For everybody to use and do what they want with it. Whats the point in having a website with the actual rateings posted. whats it for??? Its for people to use Right. So when people use it, your gonna always claimed they copied yours when your not doing well in the ranks. give it up.

Anonymous said...

These two rosters are not the same? give credit where credit is due.

Anonymous said...

his Bulter is 77,and yours is 65. What dose this mean? all that shows is that the rosters are very much different. plus he's in FA list. not signed yet. Who cares if he's 99 or 25 until he gets signed on a team.

Anonymous said...

come on the last 10 finals teams are top notch with the updated roster. lebron in cavs and heat. you cant get any thing better than that. Your gonna erase all negetive comments. Man up or bend over.

Anonymous said...

Your roster belongs where its at. Its obvious thats its not the best & its not the worst either.

Rashidi said...

The last 6 anonymous comments are from Basketcase :)

Anyway, I'd consider Synergy to be a wee bit more significant than the last 5 Finals teams - something I could make in my sleep if I wanted to, btw, considering I have seven years worth of edit work saved to disk.

Once I'm done synergizing, I'm going to update the Legends teams, as their ratings are truely atrocious.

After that, I might add a few teams as well if I get bored. And I can get a little more creative than "the last 5 Finals teams". Nobody wants to play with the 07 Cavaliers. The 08 Celtics/Lakers, 09 Lakers/Magic, 10 Lakers/Celtics are so similar to the current teams that it's a waste of a CAT slot.

The extra teams are cool. you should do em too.

You could do em in ur sleep... Go ahead take a crack at it. Put sum different teams. ur the best at what u do.

basketcases roster is nothing like yours.I dont see the similarities.

Theo said...

what do most of these posters dont understand???

here's the summary
i3asketcase just basically took Rashidi's Roster, added a buncha of Downloaded DNA's & tweaked a couple of players....

but the fact is HE STILL TOOK RASHIDI's roster first.

u can find a term paper online, change a few things, add a couple of lines, submit it is as your own & its STILL plagiarism. Ask any professor.

i3asketcase #FAIL

Anonymous said...

i tried 2 see the difference. I dont see any. I did see a bunch of other rosters that look like rashidis. Are they garbage too. or they had ur permission...

Anonymous said...

Theo, Who are you 2 judge? I get it, ur rahidi's left nut. Like batman & robin. His bitch on the side. Booty buddys ....stop riding his nutsack and judgr 4 urself. nothing is the same!

Rashidi said...

Except my ratings, of course.

kookie_819 said...

LOL @ these comments

Judging by the typing style and the overall tone, the Anonymous comments are all from i3asketcase.

Refusing to give simple credit for a goddamn roster edit? How childish can one get?

Anonymous said...

True, this is very childish. It's also childish to put up posts almost begging people to rate this and rate that. Like Thats Going help the situation.

kookie_819 said...

I don't disagree there, this definitely could have been solved in a more mature way from both sides. But couldn't this have been avoided if 1) the plagiarizer gave credit in the first place (which he should have done) and/or 2) the plagiarizer apologized for his actions (he admitted himself in this chat when he said "MY RATINGS CAME FROM UR WEBSITE DAMMIT!")

To me, as a Middle School teacher, plagiarism is one of the worth things anyone can do. It's basically a more dignified way of outright theft. It's taking the work and time a person's put into his project, and using it for himself. It's lazy and morally reprehensible. And I find it sad to see that the anonymity of the internet makes it such an easy way for this to happen.

Anonymous said...

Did you look and compare them. There so different in all aspects. Also he said he didnt copy it , but used ratings that were posted for anyone to use. Also why wait until so many downloads to say something. 70,000 downloads later and all of a sudden the roster belongs to somebody else because the rookies are the same or different.

Rashidi said...

As I pointed out above, never had reason to check them out until I saw that curious roster description.

Anonymous said...

Rashidi your probably going back and forth with a little kid. 13 years old or something. Your better than that. stick to what you do best. Your rosters speak for themselves, plus you have a great following.

Rashidi said...

Further, all you have to do is compare our free agent pools (information that I never released via the blog).

Sure, there has been work done on it over the last two months; downloading random 2K Share caps takes like an hour maybe, and keeping up with player transactions, maybe 15 minutes per day.

Given how poorly rated the rookies are (I find it ironic Da'Sean Butler is rated better than Richard Jefferson yet I'm being chided over C.J. Watson's jersey number like it's some grievious mistake), it's probably safe to say I've put in more effort this week on my own roster than there's been into this roster in the last two months.

kookie_819 said...

Well i3asketcase, I must admit you almost had me there with that drastic change in typing style. Too bad you're like a robot in the things you blurt out every now and then.

I did compare them to the best of my abilities. And yes, there are quite a few ratings and things that are similar. I noticed the similarities in the positions of free agents, the Arroyo build which is definitely unique, etc.

And i3asketcase, "used ratings that were posted for anyone to use" IS plagiarism and copying, since you failed to give rightful credit. This roster is given out to the masses to use for better enjoying their GAMES, not to use for ROSTERS of their own.

Now, you may feel like you're being singled out. It's no doubt that many other people blatantly copy his roster as well, given the amount of anonymity people have virtually. Well, I think it's because of the fact that you have so many downloads. You're the easiest to spot out as a fake. Perhaps Rashidi feels that it's unfair that you are getting so much credit for something that you obviously did not put much time and work into.

Anonymous said...

The bottom line is that the roster was for personal use with the 10 teams added in. some ratings are from rashidi, and some from 2k sports. the ratings were copied on paper and tranfered to the roster. it was never downloaded from rashidi. all trades, salaries, Jersey #'s, & all player edits are round off to the nearest 5 on most players on the day the lakers won. I put it out there for my brother to use in maimi and called it " The Official 2K11 Roster" and i also typed " who cares if you rate 1". I guess everybody did rated 5 instead of 1. plus i had a bunch of messages the next day to keep it up & thats what i Did. Im the bad guy now cause everbody liked it. Forget the other guys who actually downloaded the roster and put it up as there own. All my transactions and player movements are mine not yours. Look at my created players list and there completey in different order. if i copied ur roster from downloads it should have the created players in the same order you created them. There's no way around it. Check for yourself. When i claimed it was official i meant everything that i did to it made it official as can be. I didnt get any messages from 2k sports getting on my ass for calling it official. Just check the created player list. It's in very much different order than ur roster, & that cannot be changed.

kookie_819 said...

Okay, thanks for revealing yourself, i3asketcase. By the way guys, let's all give a round of applause for this guy. In his comments in this post, he's managed to:

1) try to assume anonymity
2) give half-assed words of encouragement to Rashidi in order to not blow his cover
3) assumed the identities of different people in order to defend himself
and lastly, 4) use the most ridiculous excuses and logic I've ever seen.

So give it up for i3asketcase, everybody!

Now, as for your latest comment, it's a bunch of rambling and ridiculous wall-of-text, so I'll dissect it little by little.

"The bottom line is that the roster was for personal use with the 10 teams added in."
-Whose roster, yours or Rashidi's? If you're talking about Rashidi's, his roster is meant for personal use in that you don't copy it. If you're talking about yours, the whole "personal use" is ridiculous since you named it 'The Official 2K11 Roster'. That's clearly meant to attract attention.

"some ratings are from rashidi, and some from 2k sports. the ratings were copied on paper and tranfered to the roster."
-Aha! So you DO admit to plagiarism! Listen, there's a reason why you're required to cite your sources in an essay even if you paraphrase or summarize. Even if you make some changes to it, you still copied it.

"it was never downloaded from rashidi."
-So what? You copied them by paper nonetheless.

"I put it out there for my brother to use in maimi and called it 'The Official 2K11 Roster'"
-If it was only for your brother, then you wouldn't name it so that it will be guaranteed to receive numerous downloads.

"and i also typed 'who cares if you rate 1'."
-Judging by your profane rant in that chat and your numerous comments, you clearly care about getting low ratings.

"plus i had a bunch of messages the next day to keep it up & thats what i Did. Im the bad guy now cause everbody liked it"
-Yes, you're the bad guy. You're the one who plagiarized, not them.

"Forget the other guys who actually downloaded the roster and put it up as there own."
-That's another issue for another time, I assume. Right now, it's about you. Hypothetically, let's say you're a murderer. Just because there are a million other murderers in this world doesn't mean that you shouldn't be considered one.

"All my transactions and player movements are mine not yours."
-Great, but you're not being accused of copying for that, it's because of other issues. But great job in deflecting your mistakes!

"Look at my created players list and there completey in different order. if i copied ur roster from downloads it should have the created players in the same order you created them."
-I'm not too technical on creating edited rosters and all that, but I'm assuming that most of the created players are rookies from the 2010 NBA Draft. In that case, of course they're different! Rashidi said numerous times that you used random 2k Share caps.

"When i claimed it was official i meant everything that i did to it made it official as can be."
-But you still plagiarized.

"Just check the created player list. It's in very much different order than ur roster, & that cannot be changed."
-He's not accusing you of the created player list, if I recall correctly. Anyways, you admitted yourself that you blatantly copied "some" of Rashidi's ratings. That's enough proof as there is.

Anyway i3asketcase, I don't think there's much left to be said. You admitted yourself that you've copied from Rashidi, and clearly you did enough damage to yourself with these comments of different identities. I rest my case.

Anonymous said...

thats true. created players always stay in the same order you created them. and if you erase them and create new ones they end up at the end of the list. cant get around that.

Anonymous said...

frankly im not hiding, and the roster was never downloaded from him at all. like i said before the ratings were copied on paper (what wrong with that?) then tranfered. i only tranfered a few ratings. maybe 10 to 15 players and they were too low to begin with anyway. the rest is from 2k sports. the fact of the matter is i could care less about ratings. just like when i put it out. "who cares if u rate 1" Its my fault everybody rated it a 5. Common gimme a fuck"n break and look at the created player list, which can never be changed. Look at the difference and stop being nieve. He's just uptight because nobody is downloading the main roster thats so perfect. comon lol. Like i said before "who cares if you rate 1" all you 2k fans are the one's that rated it to what it is, not me.

Anonymous said...

wow kookie, you must be rashidi, or his right nut ...defending him like your his other bitch...lol So now im being black balled cause i copied edits on paper and tranfered 10 to 15 of them. Raised up the ratings cause they were too low. and that makes it his roster. and stop pushing to the side about the player created list , cause thats what proves that i didnt download your roster rash. the list of created players stay the same & mine are different from yours. look for yourself (anybody). I used alot of information from different people and put it into one. thats all i did. the only thing im guilty of is useing sum info from you & everybody else. not copying your whole roster and putting it out like i did all that work . which you know its alot of bs on your part to try 2 get credit 4 everything that i did do. you just cant face the fact that its my roster with sum ratings from you and sum from 2k sports and everybody else. you never put up on your web site "dont use my info". next year keep the ratings to yourself or stick em where the sun dont shine. that way no one will use them and get blackballed 4 using some of ur ideas and getting blamed for stealing your whole roster. Look at the created list everybody ... It was'nt copied. I never had earl boykins on my roster till today... He's at the end of the list like he's suppose to be. look at the facts. dose using sum ratings that ive changed anyway make a difference.

Hound said...

Meh, it's like copying off someones homework to get an idea of what it is. Overall : Da'Sean Butler 77= Fail

kookie_819 said...

"wow kookie, you must be rashidi, or his right nut ...defending him like your his other bitch...lol"
-So now we're resorting to personal attacks! That already proves I've won. I'm not his "bitch", I just despise plagiarism, as well as the ignorance and lies you've put out thus far. I guess you can say I'm pretty annoyed.

"So now im being black balled cause i copied edits on paper and tranfered 10 to 15 of them."
-Yes, aka PLAGIARISM. Why are you pass what you did off as nothing big? Who cares whether you copied them on paper or downloaded them straight up, it's the same result no matter what! It's like you're trying to deny being a murderer just because you pushed them off of a cliff instead of shooting them or something (extreme example, I know).

And I'm not in the mood to tear down the rest of your comment. Looking at your past comments, it's clear that you're pathetic and coming up with weak excuses to defend yourself. Taking personal shots at others when driven into a corner? Assuming different identities in order to prove your "innocence"?

I'm done with this. People can read the comments and they can judge for themselves. You've proven in the course of these comments that you are 1) a 12 year old, and 2) a plagiarizer, and I'm sure most will agree with me in these conclusions.

Anonymous said...

This website was a clean cut one until now. It's an insult to have someone copy your roster, but to post up such filth for my 10 and 9 year old to read is ridiculus. Alot of kids look up to you, and read on whats going on everyday. It's very immature on your part not to think about that. You should clean it up!

Theo said...

for the record, I am not on rashidi's nuts as u previously stated. I'm basically highlighting points & the facts presented.

THE FACTS ARE YOU STILL COPIED RATINGS, WHICH IS STILL PLAGIARISM.

whether it be just 1 or 10 or 15 or all of them you still used his information, which u still give him credit for. As u should give credit for all the others u have "borrowed" from as well.


pla·gia·rism

–noun
1.
the unauthorized use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work.

Man i slept like a baby last nite. Its funny that you didnt post your original 2 messages 2 me cursing me out and calling me all kinds of names. And only posting up my messages to you. Also typing in little remarks like if you really sent that to me. When you know you did'nt. Its your website so you can say and put what you want in whatever order you want for people to see and believe the hype. Thats ok cause i have all your nasty ass massages and exactly what you wrote saved for all my people 2 see what a real prick you are. Maybe if you would of text me in a civilized manner with more professionalism, I would'nt have been so hostile. You should of blamed me for using info, not downloading your complete roster for me to claim as mine. Its like a news man twisting the story around for your own covinience. The fact is i didnt download your roster like you stated. just used some info. Thats the ony thing im guilty of. If anything i used more info from 2ksports Roster and NBA Bound25. If anything he should be complaining to me not u for all the stuff i got from him which is 10X better than yours. At least all his info is correct.He dose his research. Sorry NbaBound25 for using some of your ideas and info to enhance my roster. Keep up the good work. Much respect.

Rashidi said...

I apologize for straying from the usual intent & content of this blog, but at the end of the day, educating people about plagiarism, is significantly more important than "keeping it clean".

Your kids have already heard these words in school, and will hear them thousands of times over before all is said and done. What they might not see is the effects of plagiarism and the emotions involved, which makes this, at the very least, educational.

I make it a point of keeping things clean, and you'll never see me responding with vulgarity here.

Rashidi said...

"If anything i used more info from 2ksports Roster and NBA Bound25."

NBA Bound25 copied all my ratings too; his files all included my name before I released my 2011 roster.


"If anything he should be complaining to me not u for all the stuff i got from him which is 10X better than yours. At least all his info is correct. He dose his research."

LMAO what a fool you are. His research IS my research. Is there ANYTHING you did on your own? Aside from inputting others' data, I mean.

Anonymous said...

damn dude, i checked and your absolutely right. they did copy your shit. it'd piss me off to.
the absolute best way to tell is to check andray blatche, im not sure if u fixed it but for a while his attack pass out was crazy low. like you knew u wasnt finished w/ him.
i mentioned it in another column.

lets not kid ourselves when this roster is completely synergized it should be at or near the top.

and the jersey # thing?
really?
lots of edits tendencies hotspots sigs and the most damning thing u can say to dude is cj watson # not right. WOWW

...no shit sherlock take two seconds change it urself ass u want him to play your season to lmfao

Anonymous said...

I agree, you should clean up your website. The kids dont need to read those comments. Also to say that my kids heard it before or gonna eventually experience the vulgar language is downright pathetic. If my kids are gonna hear about it, Its not going to be on your website. Thats for sure. Who do you think looks at all this material? Mostly Kids. You should have some class, especially when you already put the person lower than what he is.

od361 said...

I don't really care about this lame copying Rashidi...I just came to say that Da'Sean Butler being rated a 77 = instant fail. He's rated OVER John Wall? AFTER a catastrophic injury that may cause him to not play very much this season?

Wow, just wow.

Anonymous said...

Who cares about all this crap? Bunch of kids and unmature adults going back and forth with nonsence.

Blow Fly said...

I guess everybodys roster is Rashidi's, which he originally used from 2K Sports. Don't forget the real roster is from 2K Sports, Which was copied by everyone else including you (Rashidi) to make it somewhat better. Right.

Crack'N UP said...

Its about time somebody stood up to your ass, and called you every name in the book. lol, It's Priceless man. I never laugh so hard. I wish I would of done the same thing when you got on my ass about using your roster.

i just wanted to know.. how come on all your rosters after june, all your players have 2 or 3 games played for the 2009-2010 season. On the basketcase roster the players have all the games that they played.If your saying that he copied your file on x-box live from june... then his roster should have 2 or 3 games played for each player just like yours. Also all the ratings dont even match up from june or current ones. How come he has the proper games & stats for 2009-2010, and you dont. Where did he get that from? From you? I dont think so.

TREY_DAWG said...

Thats true. I didnt even notice that. he has Tim duncan at 14.7 ppg, with 3 games played. basketcase has him with 17.9 ppg with 78 games played. it looks like all the stats for every player on rashidis rosters have bogas stats for the 2009-2010 entry. even from june. whats up with that! It looks like its really official to me... who cares if he used ratings from different people and 2k sports.

Jay Tee33 said...

True that! i did'nt even notice the stats part. i just noticed the games played. this Shit is crazy!

TREY_DAWG said...

lol...shit aint crazy, its called unfinished work. maybe he'll fix it later...

Jay Tee33 said...

By the time he fixes it we'll be playing the real 2k11 in october..lol

I use Rasidis for association and the other guys for quick games.

Microsoft Rep 245 said...

Its funny that Rashidi put and outline on how this guy downloaded an outdated roster from june (so he claims),and added the rookies. And whala! a new roster is born. When really the fact of the matter is that it was never downloaded from rashidi at all. You must look for yourself, and see that the stats 4 2009-2010 are completly different (as someone else pointed out). I would be nice for rashidi to at least address this issue, because now we all know that Rashidi made a mistake. The only thing the basketguy did was use ratings from different sources. Goes to show, that you cant believe every thing rashidi says on his own website.

THE TRUTH505 said...

THE FACT IS THAT RASHIDI DOSENT OWN THE RIGHTS TO THE GAME. HE'S NOT THE PRESIDENT OF 2K SPORTS EITHER. TO BLAME SOMEONE FOR PLAGIARIZING, WHEN THE ORIGINAL PRODUCT IS'NT HIS TO BEGIN WITH IS WRONG. HE POSTED UP THE RATINGS ONLINE OF ALL THE BASKETBALL PLAYERS AND ENCOURAGED EVERYONE TO USE IT. WHAT OTHER REASON WOULD YOU HAVE, TO POST RATINGS? FOR THE USAGE, RIGHT! RASHIDI, YOU SHOULD POST UP ON YOUR WEBSITE THAT NO ONE CAN USE YOUR RATINGS AND IDEAS ON 2K SHARE.TO USE IT FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. NOW SOMEONE PUT OUT A BETTER PRODUCT, AND IT SEEMS TO ME THAT RASHIDIS UPTIGHT THAT ONLY A HAND FULL OF PEOPLE ARE REALLY INTERESTED IN HIS WORK. ITS COMPLETEY WRONG FOR SOMEONE TO ACCUSE SOMEONE OF PLAGIARIZISM WHEN THE ORIGINAL PRODUCT IS'NT THERES TO BEGIN WITH. JUST REMEMBER THAT THE GURU ALWAYS HAS THE LAST SAY EVEN IF HE'S WRONG.

lol, I thought he worked for 2k sports.

Anonymous said...

the exact reason basketcake's roster has stats and rashidi dont is bc' ....

rashidi used an older 2k roster file.

basketcase used a newer one and manually added in rashidi's ratings.

frankly i dont care, but you are getting a name using a roster mainly based on his work and i think thats what pissed him off.

it would frustrate me to if i put alot of work into my roster and sure it gets decent ratings but sum1 can up and decide to create a roster, not alot of time put in..and use someone more dedicated's work as a crutch.. and get a higher rating or more dL's b'c i write its 'official'
its wack-- str8 up no matter how u slice it or who sliced it-- its wackkkk

Anonymous said...

i dont see the ratings match'n up at all. you have to go download em yourself. then pass judgement. pick anybody in a starting line up and compare em from both downloads. no body will have the same ratings. and if they do, the ovr all rating may b da same but the rest attr are not

Anonymous said...

LOL at the talk about kids reading and seeing vulgar language in the comments. Don't blame Rashidi, blame the parents/yourself. Rashidi isn't your fucking babysitter and his site isn't about babysitting either.



For CAT ideas, how about Dynasty teams? The last decade's Spurs and Lakers, early and late 90's Bulls, 80's Celtics and Lakers, 60's Celtics. With each team having only the key players to avoid having unnecessary duplicates, e.g. the 1996-98 Bulls will only have one team but with the key players in the roster.

Anonymous said...

of course the ratings are going to be a lil different. you would be surprised the lengths ppl will go to attempting to make said roster look like they come up with it all by themselves.
ppl are willing to add strangers as friends for a 5 rating,lol

why wouldnt they do whatever to make it look original by rounding off, editing players they feel are 'off'. upping rookies, everyone has a favorite rookie dont they.?
b'c in they mind they think they put in alot of work. changing shoes and headbands and rounding off lol.

rashidi is a hard headed ass hole, but i honestly can trust his work.
and ppl know that online. so if i were wanting to create a "2k11" roster where would i start???

hm?

Anonymous said...

I have all the files in question.
lol not the file 'basketcase' released AFTER being accused.
i can see lots of similars.
i actually edit rosters for private use.

b'c of players roles off team chemistry off potential so high and star players aging after year 2-3 i have to re check the ratings and tendencies.

but relax nobody really cares.
if real 2k insider would release a roster and call it finished, then his downloads would be high as well.

and rashidi b'f u crucify me i know u have 10 teams to go, and thanks. but his roster is high b'c ppl view it as a finished product and 'ready to go'.

yours is viewed as a test roster.

Anonymous said...

i agree, nobody wants anything unfinished. plus u waited too long 2 start doing your 2011 roster. next yr u need to be ready and be ontop of ur game. if you dont somebody else will.

Anonymous said...

By the time rashidi finishes his roster we'll be playing the real 2k11 which is only 42 days away. players want 2 play now, not keep waiting. maybe it will come in handy for those that cant afford the game at the time of release.

Josh said...

I know you haven't synergized the Wolves yet, but there are a few number changes that need to be made. Wes Johnson isn't 40, Mike Beasley isn't 30, Martell Webster isn't 23.

Other than that, GREAT work Rashidi! Haters gotta hate, plagiarizers gotta plagiarize.

Anonymous said...

ok so i downloaded the 'basketcase' file and the file rashidi released after.(fraud roster lol)
I am 100% certain he used this roster as a base here's why..

1. the dribble finish:attack/pass out tendency is clearly unfinished for ANDRAY BLATCHE on rashidi's file

ATCK P/O -30, 31
unfinished as the wiz are incomplete. (just compare blatche to another athetic pf on rashidis roster)

basketcase's tendency for ANDRAY BLATCHE: attck 30. pass out 31.

unfinished on rashidi's end, but basketcase wouldnt notice this.
b'c he was applying these tend and ratings.

Its indisputable.

Mike said...

No one makes a profit off of these rosters so there's no reason to care about plagiarism in this aspect.

Except all the synergy work I'm putting in now will be 100% transferable to the real 2K11.

Anonymous said...

I would like to say this: who gives a shit, seriously? Rashidi, seriously, who really invests themselves into something that a handful of people even remotely give a shit about? Grow up, all of you guys.

Slam King23 said...

The reason that blatche from washington wizards has 30 & 31 for attack and pass out is because its the original setting for the player from 2ksports itself. this is where he (l3asketcase) got his down load from not rashidi. Download the last roster from 2k sports and see for yourself. Plus all stats from the previous season are all in, unlike rashidis. Rashidi you should check out these things b4 you start blaming others for what you didnt do yourself. everything really points out to the fact that you are WRONG!!!

Anonymous said...

true dat... i checked its from 2ksports not rahidi. no wonder he was curse'n up a storm. I would b 2. lol

Anonymous said...

I dont care what rahidis says. The basketcase roster is tight and much better. the right players come off the bench when your playing. ratings are from 2ksports original sets except for superstars. the situationals on auto rotations are sick. unlike rahidis. the bench players on basketcases roster are 5 completely different dudes from the starters .the way its suppose to be. BENCH PLAYERS ARE NOT STARTERS. on rashidis the bench rotation has starters on the bench too and are unfinished rotations. i dont like doing manual sustitutions when i play so its perfect for me.

The word Plagiarize should only be used in reference to coping reports, essays and different written documents. Not basketball information thats available on the internet and free for everyone to use. ITS ONLY A VIDEO GAME FOR GODS SAKE!

This is the first I've heard you talking about 2k11. and boy oh boy this is great news.

Anonymous said...

wow, u guys think every anony post is rashidi.

i admit it i was the andray blatche poster.
and yes i did check 2k and seen I was wrong. (ya i can admit that yay)

but IbcopyNpasteN (your new name):
looking forward to your work in the real nba 2k11. but make sure and release it in a timely manner i know you put tons of research into your work.

Rashidi said...

The point about Blatche's Attack/PassOut is valid - because all the players on the roster that I adjusted attack/passout for IS EXACTLY THE SAME.

For example, Rajon Rondo's attack/passout is 51/49 which is what I gave him. 2K has him 94/87 at default.

Then, compare Rajon Rondo ratings/tendencies to mine. IDENTICAL.

Want the final nail in the coffin?

I changed VERY few signature shots across my entire roster. One of the few changes I made was switching Rondo's Runner from "Guard Hold" to "Guard Angled"

Guess whose roster has that!?

Ding! Basketcase.

JUDGE JUDY said...

You know what you sound like Rashidi? A little kid himself nit pick'n for a way to look right! Everything that you claimed that Basketcase actually did, has been proven wrong. So now what are you doing? Changing little things that Basketcase has on his roster like yours to say he copied it....Yeah Right! Stop looking for a reason to look right. His roster was never downloaded from you, so you were incorrect. The Andray Blatche pass/attack that was suppose to be unfinished work that he copied from you. You were incorrect also. The d'S bulter part only proved it was different, not from you. The free agents & draftpicks being too low and like yours is also incorrect when they were down loaded from 2k share for everyones use. Him posting it as "OFFICIAl" is okay . You know why? Its not your game Rashidi!
Anybody can post what they want. He could of called it "ESPN PRSENTS NBA 2K11" and you still would of complained about that. The verdict is... Rashidi, YOUR GUILY OF FALSE ACCUSATIONS... AND I SENTENCED TO ONE FULL YEAR OF PLAYING NBA ELITE 2011, & BANNED FROM NBA 2K11. "BANG" COURT IS ADJOURNED!

Rashidi said...

"Changing little things that Basketcase has on his roster like yours to say he copied it....Yeah Right! Stop looking for a reason to look right."

I am right, genius. All one has to do is download Real 2K Insider 06-07-10 and check Rajon Rondo's signature runner.

I'm going back in time now?

Rashidi said...

Further, Rondo's runner should be changed in even earlier rosters than the June one; I probably made the switch around January.

Sounds like a whole lot of B.S. to me.lol

Look at the bright side rashidi.
copynpaste is making u money clicking ur blog to reply "anonymously". lol

he did it, just as nbabound did.
most the top rated files have something to do w/ your roster.

imitation is flattery. (highest form)

Anonymous said...

didnt he admit to it ? (kinda)
when he said he didnt download it but used paper or whatever?
now all these anonymous ppl are swearing on their mothers soul he didnt do it.
my real life friends wouldnt even do that for me, they'd be like stand on ur own 2 killa.
we'll find out on next years game for sure.

Anonymous said...

Rashidi you said we can transfer your work when your done on to the new 2k11. how dose dat work. the save game files from 2k10 will be recognized on 2k11? please explain. would like to know how this is going to go down.

Anonymous said...

no knuckle head, it was never downloaded from him to begin with. like he claims. plus we should be talking about somthing more constructive. like snergy rosters...

Anonymous said...

i guess you dont have good friends

Rashidi said...

What I meant is that all the data I'm collecting will work the same way next season at is highly unlikely that 2K will change their rating and tendency scales after revamping them last season.

That was the main reason things were slow to come together this season - all the rating methods/formulas that were used from 2K3 to 2K9 ceased to exist.

Rashidi said...

The biggest change was the subdivision of Close rating into "Inside" and "Close". Every player had a brand new shot rating that needed editing.

Lost n Space said...

What are my setting suppose to be like , when i use your roster. Ive put 2 teams you synergized on auto, and i see the ballhandler (PF,C) just standing there doing nothing. when the shot clock is about to expire, Thats when they decide to take a shot after holding on to the ball all that time. Also somtimes the point gaurd (ROSE CHI) just standing doing nothing until time runs out. When I Put the roster from 2k or any other one, it looks and plays like a real game. This only happens every now and then, not all the time. What should i do?

Rashidi said...

That happens on the 2K defaults as well. Sometimes the CPU will stand there because there isn't any off-ball movement.

It's worth noting that this happens in real life too.

Rashidi said...

I just ran Hawks/Bucks for a few minutes and encountered zero problems (Hawks are an Iso-heavy team, against a tough trapping defense).

I'll run a Bulls sim to see if I come up with something.
