Additional release notes can be found below.
- All players who have been signed by an NBA team (and a couple who haven't) have been included in the patch. Because of the 15 player limit, some players who are still listed as being on a team's roster are in the free agent pool (mostly players who are free agents this offseason and unsigned draft picks). If you can't find a player, look in the Free Agent pool.
- Since not all jersey number changes or rookies' jersey numbers have been made available, there's bound to be some mistakes. As always, any corrections in this regard are much appreciated.
- It is quite likely that there are some rookie ratings that could use some work, something I plan to do throughout the offseason. As is often the case with the first update after the Draft, a couple of the rookies are perhaps rated a little too high. If you have any suggestions for the rookie ratings, please let me know. They are a work in progress!
- Salaries have been updated but since some players remain free agents or unsigned draft picks, there is no contract info available for them. In the case of unsigned draftees I have given them a ballpark salary on a sliding scale according to the draftees who have already signed while everyone else without up to date contract info still has their 2006/2007 data. This will of course be updated as soon as new info becomes available.
- For dialup visitors or those with slower broadband connections, please note that due to all the new art, the patch has become a 16 MB download. v1.10 was around 7.5 MB in size.
- At this time, some of the newly added players are using generic portraits. This will change as soon as art for them becomes available, in the meantime the DBF has been pre-edited so as soon as one of the talented patchmakers in our community makes a face for those players, you can download it straight to your SGSM folder and use it straight away without having to touch the databases.
- Similarly, some new players are missing portraits (mostly second rounders), as soon as those updates become available for download they can be used with the patch (and hopefully included in future releases as well).
- Player updates, bio updates and corrections and of course the addition of missing players and transactions will be done throughout the offseason. It would defeat the purpose of being a roster update if the rosters weren't updated.
I think that's about it! Any questions or feedback, please make use of this thread. A huge thanks also to everyone who submitted art for use with the latest rosters.
