As you may know, in addition to containing several retro season mods, PatTheHead’s massive pack of rosters for NBA 2K13 contains an update for the 2026 season. That roster has received significant updates since the last release.

The ratings for all players have been updated to reflect their 2026 season performance. Plenty of new cyberfaces have been added, along with updated Draft Class and Playoff files. It’s definitely worth checking out if you want to update NBA 2K13 with 2026 rosters! Additionally, updated Eurobasket jerseys have been added to the 2025 FIBA Eurobasket mod.

For those who are unaware, PatTheHead’s project contains decades worth of historical NBA rosters. Not only that, but there are comprehensive roster mods for the ABA, BAA, NBL, ABL, PBLA, and NBPL. You’ll also find rosters for Olympic and other international tournaments, going right back to the early days of basketball. As I’ve said before, the project is undoubtedly a love letter to hoops!

Download the latest version of the roster here in our Downloads database. For more information on the project and previews of what’s to come, be sure to check out the release and support topic here in the Forum. Once again, a huge thanks to PatTheHead for his hard work on the 2026 update and other rosters for NBA 2K13, and everyone else who contributes to the project! It’s wonderful to see an old favourite being kept alive with a mod that’s freely available to everyone in the community.

Welcome to another edition of The Friday Five! Every Friday I cover a topic related to basketball gaming, either as a list of five items, or a Top 5 countdown. The topics for these lists and countdowns include everything from fun facts and recollections to commentary and critique. This week’s Five is a list of five things that I loved about my NBA 2K13 MyCAREER with the Denver Nuggets.

NBA 2K13 is one of the games that I’d love to bring back into my rotation this year. Not only was it a fantastic release that was enjoyed by gamers who were already fans of NBA 2K, but it was the title that got me – a long-time NBA Live fanboy – into the series. The right stick controls provided familiarity, and enhanced the gameplay in an area that I’d argue was still a weakness for NBA 2K, even as it became the premiere NBA sim. It was well-balanced, a blast on the sticks, and offered deep modes that we could enthusiastically spend hundreds and indeed thousands of hours in.

Despite traditionally being a franchise gamer, MyCAREER was my mode of choice in NBA 2K13, rather than The Association. It turned out to be one of my all-time favourite basketball gaming experiences, so I’d say it was a good decision! Although I intend to spend some more time with the rest of what NBA 2K13 has to offer as I look to make it a part of my retro basketball gaming rotation, I definitely won’t rule out revisiting that MyCAREER save every now and again. With that in mind, I’d like to reflect on five things that I loved about my NBA 2K13 MyCAREER, all of which were undoubtedly key factors in me taking such a long detour from franchise gaming.

It’s been almost a month since the last bulletin checking in on PatTheHead’s rosters for NBA 2K13. The project continues to be updated with new content and fixes, so here’s a quick overview of what’s new since March.

From courtside of the virtual hardwood, it’s Episode #579 of the NLSC Podcast!

What are the best lineups that we can assemble picking from players in the modern NBA? This week, we fire up NBA 2K25 and run separate fantasy drafts in MyNBA Eras to craft teams that we believe would be both successful and a lot of fun to play with on the virtual hardwood. The exercise leads us to share a few more thoughts on NBA 2K25, and the community’s attitude towards it. We also recap a couple of fun co-op sessions with NBA Live 2000 and NBA 2K13, using the All-Decade teams and a 1985 season roster respectively. Both games continue to impress us all these years later, demonstrating that the best releases are timeless and undoubtedly worth revisiting.
