Roster Lab v1.7.0

Roster Lab by Q2K is a save editor, formerly named 2K14 Lab by Q2K through v1.6.0. The user supplied the local download and described multiple-player, multiple-team trades and easier shoe assignment. “RED MC but better” is the supplied description's comparison, not a measured compatibility result.

The archive contains three text documents and Roster_Lab_Setup_V1.7.0.exe. It was copied from Downloads and hashed; the installer was not run. No remote release URL was supplied.

Documented editing behavior

The README describes opening ROS rosters, CMG MyCareer saves, FXG Association saves and FDC draft classes. It lists players, teams, staff, arenas, jerseys, records, awards, Hall of Fame, draft board/classes, name pool, playbooks, schedule, seasons, shoes, templates, settings/sliders and commentary. Edits remain in memory until saving a new file; undo, player copy/export, selected-field import and table export are included in its description.

Trades allow uneven player counts and multiple teams. Documented limits are 20 roster slots per team, up to three teams/four assets each when recording an Association transaction, or six teams/ten assets each without recording. Draft picks require a save that tracks ownership, and players must appear in their team's rotation. The README claims v1.6.0 onward synchronizes player counts with roster arrays and corrects failures from older uneven-trade workflows.

The README also describes checking empty face blocks before saving, restoring missing faces, repairing name/audio handles and rotation slots, and restricting save names to letters, digits and spaces. These are author-reported invariants to investigate against actual files and the game, not established specifications from this capture.

Scope and portability

Version 1.7.0 explicitly removed Browse Artwork, Repack Artwork File, Browse Sounds, Soundtrack, Mod Manager and Scorebug Tweaker. Its presence does not cover our UI, audio or IFF tooling needs.

Credits identify Python 3.14, Qt 6/PySide6/Shiboken6, Pillow, zstandard, FFmpeg and Windows runtime components. That suggests useful implementation research, but no application source or native Mac/Linux build is included in this outer archive. The broad feature similarity to Sigil does not establish shared authorship or code lineage.
