"Are your cyberface ids compatible with other 2k14 rosters?"
"No. Each roster has their own unique cyberface IDs especially for new players that wasn't on the original 2K14 roster. So make sure to only use cyberfaces compatible for the roster you are using."
"Do I need to download previous roster updates?"
"No need to. You only need to use the latest roster update."
"Why does my game crash in the end of the 1st or 3rd Quarters?"
"This crash is mainly caused by an HD cyberface installed in either of the 2 teams that's playing when the game crashed. To know if a cyberface is HD, the cyberface must be 2MB and above. You have to replace that with an SD version (Less than 2MB) of that cyberface. HD means High Definition, SD means Standard Definition. 2K14 is made of SD textures and was not made to cater high definition textures. This can also be caused by custom scoreboards so try using the default 2k14 scoreboard when testing this out."
"Why does my game crash before the MATCH starts or before jumpball?"
"This problem is either caused by a faulty/bugged dorna, bugged crowd file, or a custom scoreboard. You can try reinstalling the Arena/Stadium Pack from this website or download this 2K14 Default Dornas Pack. Also make sure you're using the default crowd.iff file or at least a working crowd file, since some "No Crowd" mod files can cause this crash. You can also just revert back to the default scoreboard since custom scoreboards can also cause this crash. Thanks for HAWK23 for sharing this info about custom scoreboards causing the game to crash before tip-off."
"Why does my game crash or get stuck at Halftime/Halftime Report?
"It means you installed a faulty halftime report mod that is part of a Presentation Pack, specifically the newbreakboard.iff and newbreakshell.iff files.. To fix, install the files inside this PRESENTATION CRASH FIX pack into your 2K14 Main Directory. This will also fix any presentation-related issues.
"Why are the players not wearing any jerseys even though I downloaded the jersey packs?"
"Just go to your 2K14 Video Settings and Set the Texture Quality & Player Quality to High."
"Why does some players have white faces and white arms?"
"Make sure you've downloaded all the cyberface packs in this website. There's the Full Cyberface Pack 1 & 2, Euroleague Cyberface Pack, and XX Roster 2020 Cyberface Pack. Most older cyberfaces are also on the Medevenx Full Main Directory Files Pack."
"Why is my court or floor blurry?"
"Just go to your 2K14 Video Settings and Set the Texture Quality to High."
"What files do I need to download?"
"Just go to the Instructions page of this website and follow the procedure."
"Why is everything in the game DARK WHEN I enter the match? Only the players and the crowd is there."
"It means you don't have the arena file and the court file in your 2K14 Main DIrectory. It probably means you haven't downloaded or installed yet the arena/court pack for the roster you are using."
"Why does my game crashes when doing a Performance Benchmark?"
"Make sure you are using the Default 2K14 Scoreboard when doing Performance Benchmarks."
"Why does my game crashes when I continue a Saved Game?"
"You have to use the Default 2K14 Scoreboard if you are someone who frequently saves a game and continues it on a later time. 2K14 can't save custom scoreboards on its cache so that's why it causes the game to crash when you load it back."
"Why are the players stats always starts with the 2013-14 season in Association Mode?"
"It's because NBA 2K14 is programmed to start with the 2013-2014 season that's why all stats on the first year is counted as 2013-14 season. It's hard-coded so it can't be changed."
"Why are player ages incorrect?"
"It's because NBA 2K14 is programmed to start with the 2013-2014 season that's why all players' ages is what their age is back in 2013. BUT that will be fixed when you play Association, Season, or MyCareer mode which uses the real and latest calendar schedule."
"What is the Cyberface ID or Portrait ID of this certain player/s?"
"Please refer to the MX Roster Cyberface ID List which you can found on both the front page of my NLSC thread and inside the latest roster update pack."
"Why does my MyCareer crashes after the Rookie Showcase and shows "Please wait while exporting timeline data"?"
"Make sure you install the necessary roster.iff file into both your 2K14 Main Directory and Online Data folder. roster.iff file is included in the roster pack. You can find it on the "MyCareer Fix" folder included in the roster pack."
"Why does my MyCareer crash in the 6th game or any games after that?"
"Follow the instructions inside the MYCAREER FIX & BoxScore Bug Fix folder included in the roster update pack.
"Why does random players show up in my boxscore and not the real players on my team?"
"Follow the instructions inside the MYCAREER FIX & BOXSCORE BUG FIX folder included in the roster update pack. This is also a problem with the roster.iff file.
"MY GAME DOESN'T OPEN WHEN I CLICK THE EXE FILE."
"This can be caused by a virus-deleted exe file. The EXE file still appears but no longer works. Just try replacing it with a working EXE file and make sure to add your 2K14 Main Directory folder into your anti-virus' Exception List or Whitelist. This can also happen when users install an ENB or Graphic Enhancers to the game. Just remove the files you installed specifically the d3d9.dll file and the game should run again. If you're using a cracked version of the game, the rld.dll file missing on your 2k14 main directory can also cause this. Make sure to have your 2K14 Main Directory folder in your Anti-virus' exception list.
"WHY DOES MY MYCAREER CRASHES IN FIRST GAME OF THE SECOND SEASON?"
"Most of the users who had this exact problem have used Cheat Engine on the game. This program will cause the game to change in-game values in real-time and will affect other values as well. I wouldn't advise using Cheat Engine or other third-party software to modify in-game values. Just play the game as is without cheating. The game mode is already full of bugs even without mods and using a program that can add more bugs will just ruin the game for you."
"Why are the Player Contracts not accurate?"
I use a formula to balance the team's salary, the reason why I do this is because even if the year can be changed every season on the roster, the first season in Association/Season/MyCareer game modes is still programmed to use the 2013/14 season salary cap (which is when the game was released). For this season's salary, I used my own formula: [Yearly Salary = 2022/23 Salary x (13/14 Salary Cap ÷ 22/23 Salary Cap)]. (Ex. If a player is getting 30M this year, by multiplying it to the percentage, the player would've only been getting around 14M+ if it's set in the 2013-14 season.)

- If your game crashes while viewing some endorsement, try to play game in window mode.
- Avoid using a modified scoreboard. A modified scoreboard has a high chance of crashing MyCareer mode after the games have been finished.
- Avoid using “HD” content. “HD” cyberfaces, jerseys, stadiums, dornas, globals, etc. that have been released untested can cause crashing after the 1st or 3rd quarter of MyCareer, Association, Season, Playoffs modes.
- Avoid using heavily modified graphics mods. Heavily modified globals, title screens, and other graphics mods also have a chance of crashing MyCareer mode.
- Avoid using heavily modified tunedata. Heavily modified tunedata and other gameplay mods also have a chance of crashing MyCareer mode, usually before the start of the game.
- Do not save your MyCareer right away. When it asks you to create a save file for MyCareer mode, don’t (Press “1” on your keyboard or “Circle” for PlayStation/”B” for XBox controllers). Save your MyCarer file later.
- Delete all MyCareer save files and create a completely new MyCareer save file. In most cases, if you want to start a new MyCareer mode, it has to be a new save file. It is recommended that you do not replace an existing save file and save a completely new MyCareer save file.
- Delete all other MyCareer save files, then duplicate and rename your existing MyCareer save file. Sometimes, you can proceed with your existing MyCareer save file if you copy and paste your existing save file then rename it to something else, preferably a short MyCareer file name such as MYCAREER1.
- Perform a fresh install of NBA 2K14. If your NBA 2K14 is too heavily modified that you can no longer trace the cause of error for MyCareer mode and it is that important to you, it is recommended that you do a fresh install of NBA 2K14.
- Consider upgrading your computer. There is a rare situation where the game crashes because your computer is not compatible with it. Forcefully running the game on 32-bit computers are an example of this. Using processors or graphics cards that are not optimized for NBA 2K14 may also be the cause.
- Delete the following shoe files
