well done,but why can't i play with 30 teams at the season game??

[dedoem]

hah, and i begun to fix them by myself this morning. do you plan to update your roster patch with last trades?

[pigpen]

sorry, the bobcats can't be used in franchise mode. I tried to make them a normal team and put them in the pacific division, but it doesn't work. but i'll try and figure out a way. also, i'll try and edit them so they won't wear short shorts.

dedoem, the rosters are updated as of march 10th. i'll try to come up with an update every month, just to give the nba live 2001 players an updated roster to play with. and sorry about the offensive rebounding stats. i tried to edit them, so as much as possible, gameplay is realistic. For me, that is. But still, somehow the CPU gets some 20-25 offensive rebounds a game and about 50-60 total rebounds... i'm trying to fix that too.

anyways, i think there is a rebounds adjuster in NLSC. just download it from there. or go to this site: http://nbalive2x.tripod.com/patch_tollseditors.html It's the NBA Live 2Xtreme website, and it has some tools to adjust rebounding stats to suit your needs.

not all missing skins have been fixed. iverson is still whole white.

[pigpen]

sorry about that. as far as i know, the problem was due to me installing a tatoo patch for iverson. but i fixed that already, and when i use my current roster it doesn't have any problems. try deleting the save slot and reextracting the file, but just in case, i'll re-upload the roster.

it helped. another thing - it seems that you lowered the fg and 3pt skills too much. now the teams with players with high inside socoring or often finishing with dunks (o'neal, webber etc) wins with ease against those that should have some big firepower from distance but don't because of those skills (sorry for my english, but it isn't my national language. i hope you understand what im trying to say.)

[dedoem]

i discovered another bug. i don't know it's due to the roster patch or just my nba live is breaking up but some players behave abnormally. they just run in place or run in strange jumps (they were here for a moment, and now they are 2 meters away) or just stand out of bounds. the two i spoted are the sf from clippers (i think Barnes is the name) and center from hornets (maccolough? something like that).

and again about those skills... i started franchise with orlando magic. first i couldn't get used to those new skills (low fg). but then i changed my gameplay to getting inside and using those hook-shots (pivot+shoot) and with the orlando's players like battie, howard, hill, turkoglou, cato, francis (ins. socoring above 80) i just can' t loose (completing 75% of fg). cpu players still try lots of shots from distance and miss mostly (getting about 30-35% of fg). since i changed my gameplay i win by 20-30pts (quarter 5min). i just hope that it's partly caused by the fact i was playing against some weaker teams lately (ofcourse i play superstar and have even the keeps the scores close option turned on).

[dedoem]

ok. i just played against boston and after OT i finally LOST first game in the season (now it's 7-1). they won thanks to their off. rebounds and awesome 3 pointers by walker. it was a great game and i hope that other teams will by at least as tough to beat as boston.

[pigpen]

sorry for the late reply... it's finals week in my college, and i have a big phisical chemistry exam for tomorrow. about the behavior of some players, i haven't experienced any of that (but i haven't played against the clippers yet) so i'll try and look at it later.

anyways, about the fg shooting, i'll try and adjust it for more balance, as i edited the ratings mainly for making simulated games more realistic. i didn't think it would matter to gameplay that much when playing some teams. thanks for pointing that out, and i'll try to come up with an adjusted one anytime this week. btw, did you get the allstar jerseys to work? if you copied the teams.dbf to your origdb before starting the franchise, they also work in franchise mode.

[dedoem]

i didn't install the allstar jerseyes because i just like it when each player has it's own team jersey.

[dedoem]

some of the players has skills under 50 and i think that comp treats them as under 100 (for example 47 as 97). thats the only way i can explain why tony battie has at my franchise fg% at 90 with ins. scoring skill at 47 (i just get him inside the box and pivot+shoot). i don't know if it was intended...

[pigpen]

nope, that wasn't intended. thanks for pointing that out. i'm currently working on the ratings
