NBA 2K22 Retro Rosters: MJWizards' Classic Teams Project on PS5

I have featured the work of MJWizards before, and it’s because MJ does some of the most thorough work around on consoles. The custom content on PC is legendary (and I always recommend people head there if they want that sort of “true” experience), but console players can get some quality stuff as well. On the PS5, one of the best (and deepest) NBA 2K22 classic teams rosters comes from MJ. This NBA 2K22 retro rosters set is driven by the initial content put in the game by the 2K developers.

Roster Explanation

Maybe some of you played with my roster in the past years. I used to make MJ season rosters. I made a poll to decide my first project for 2K22 on my YT channel and “The Completed Classic Teams” project won by a huge margin, so i decided to start with it. Every time a new team is completed I will post a quick video showing the new added players and some stuff.

Roster Features

– All the missing players for all the classic teams in the game
– Accurate info, bio, numbers for all the players
– Accurate CAP for the missing players
– Accurate Shoes and Accessories for all the players, no 2k shoes
– End of the Season or Playoffs rosters for all the classic teams
– Signature Style Fix for the most important players
– Shot\3pt tendency fix for all the players
– Accurate Rotation for all the classic teams
– At least 12 real players for every classic team, up to 15 if possible
– Head Coach real name and lookalike face, when available

Bottom Line

You can support MJWizards three ways:

MJ is very committed to these projects, and rarely will he ever stop before reaching his goal of finishing one. His consistency and longevity in the community is a reason why I like to showcase the work, and it’s also why so many people gravitate to what is put out by him.

The amount he’s able to pull out of the tools without needing “modding” capabilities is impressive, and you can tell he’s just a big fan of the sport. The nice part about this set is that MJ has a base to work with at times, so this one is coming along relatively quickly as well.

These rosters are fun to use in a variety of settings. For example, there are technically 67 classic teams (seven of them are LA Lakers teams), but since many of them are “duplicates” in some regards, you can chop down the list for MyNBA purposes. The only real downside of course is that these edits are only available on the PS5 due to how the 2K Share system works right now. Regardless, if you want to show some love for his work, you can hit the links above or head to the thread and show some appreciation.
