Jerseys
Jerseys are always updated in PBA 2K from the logo, to the jersey number, to the sponsors. All PBA, UAAP, and NCAA teams have updated jerseys, as well as retro jerseys for each franchise. For practice jerseys, they are still in development for each team. Barangay Ginebra has their own practice jerseys available for PBA 2K. However, in honor of the SAF44, we created some Fallen 44 tribute practice jerseys in lieu of the team practice jerseys.

Roster Details
Conferences and Divisions are different with each roster. In future seasons of MyCareer and Association, the schedule mixes depending on the division of the team. With the PBA having 12 teams now, we can no longer have 5 PBA teams per division as 2 PBA teams will have to play with a lot of UAAP/NCAA teams. Therefore, we constructed a division system that allows the PBA teams to face UAAP teams only a few times in future seasons as a contingency to the glitch. Unfortunately, there is no other way around this.
