Players.dbf Editing Guide
NBA Live 2000 Toolkit

Thanks!I hope i'll make it although i don't have ms access 97!is there any other program that doesen't need ms access 97?

You can use the NBA Live 2003 Toolkit, which works 90% correctly with the Live 2000 rosters (Live 2003 toolkit requires MS Access 2000)

thanks but i don't have either of them!can you please tell me where can i find ms access 97 or 2000 to download!any of them!don't tell me i have to buy office!i just need a trial version so i can repair few players!is there such thing as a trial version of access 97 or 2000?if it is please tell me wherw can i find it!i tried google but no luck!

Then, browse the NLSC database to grab dbcommander and cdbf.

DBCommander is more "eye candy" (if I can ever call it like that) but it's shareware, cdbf is freeware but runs under dos, it's a pain in the butt to browse the database then.

Please note that with both softwares the datas will be provided in a "raw" format. Look at the players.dbf editing on the Live 2000 section to learn some useful things. I think that those software are OK if you want to make only 2 or 3 changes, but if you want to make a mega update it will be really painful.

(and I suggest that you to use my updated roster )

Hope that will help!

Thanks for the roster!I got some other stuff from your site too(cyberfaces,courts,rosters etc)!They're great!

I tried using db commander and changed a few things of some players in file players.dbf but when i started game nothing changed!I changed battie's socks from 2 to 0!I did the same with wright and JO!And nothing changes!And when I re-open players.dbf with DBCommander stats go back to original!

jas browse around the entire NLSC and learn few things. btw welcome aboard

thanks for the comments

If the changes didn't take effect, it may be because you forgot to re-load the roster once you're in the game

Glad to be aboard!I browsed all the sites that i have found and i found bunch of great stuff!I just can't stop playing the game now!I got prety bored with live 2000 a couple of years ago but now zou guys made it alive for me again and it's more fun than ever!Thanks!

P.S.:I finally got the changes to take effect!Thanks alexboom!

I just want to know if ther is a way to edit generated rookies in franchise mode!i want to change their numbers because they mostly have numers like 97,84,71 etc.Can they be changed?
I know that it is possible to change players' numbers in season mode because you have "edit player" available!But in franchise you don't have that option!Is there a way to change players' numbers in franchise mode?

im also glad that guys like alex and the rest of the NLSC gang are around to provide us with fresh patches and make the game feel like new again. well u can edit the numbers at their database file with a dbf editor.
