All I can say is please take into consideration the strengths and weaknesses in game play that Live 2000 has. When I created the National team’s roster, I concentrated on a few of these things.
Here is some of the criteria I used when working on the ratings. I use the toolkit, but i know the toolkit re-calculates the numbers, so the numbers I use here are the numbers before the re-calculation.
1) Primacy for inside players, (Centers and PF) should be the highest
on the team. The big men don't get enough touches, and when
simming a season their ppg are too low
2) Blocks way, way down between 1-54, with 54 the best.
3) Inside shooting much, much higher. 65-99
4) Steals higher.........
5) Free throw shooting as low as you can go with some players. Even the better players, don't exceed say 35-40.
6) Fg pct. Higher than usual
7) Speed and especially acceleration for bigger men, a lot lower than guards, so there can be some form of a fast break.
8) Remember for dribbling and dunking there is a cut-off rating, where they will be able to perform these moves or not. Lower than this number they will not be able to spin or dunk. I think dribbling is at or near 58, for big men don’t go too low on the dribbling because they will turn the ball over too much in the low post.
