[Dirtdog1- David]

Some recent patches that i had released but not posted here are Devin Brown, Travis Knight and an Update of the SBC Center- these all can be downloaded at Alex site.

I just completed another UCONN player, this is swingman Marcus White. Which brings the team total to 9 out of 12 players.
These will all be released as a total team patch for the NCAA Live 03-04 patch and current roster which can be downloaded at DP's site:

For you NCAA heads i also have Sean May of North Carolina about 90% done, just waiting on the shoes. Check the avatar for the preview.

One more note on the UCONN complete patch.
The 4 UCONN players who had been previously released, will be removed from the NCAA section, (Okafor, Gordon, T. Brown and Villanueva), there will be new versions of all of these guys. Some new tattoos for Taliek Brown and a whole new color for Villanueava, as well a couple of fix-ups on the other two.
So if you already have them installed just use the new versions that will come with the patch.

I've seen this guy lately with beard, David (more or less like Vlade Divac).

[clow36]

DDog I can't download that patch of garcia

[Dirtdog1- David]

Clow- Is it up already? i haven't checked; if it is try right clicking or contact Alex.

Unoquepasa- Hmmmm i am yet to see him with a beard. He got hurt in pre-season and is out 6-8 weeks. When he comes back if he is still sporting that (I am too hurt to shave look) then i will add it to him.
The next Spurs game i catch i will look for him.

I took Unoquepasa's advice and made a bearded version of Alex Garcia. I added a 320x192 (Face1) .bmp to the zip as an option if you would like a change. Check the avatar for a small preview.
So if you already downloaded the patch, please re-download this version starting tommorrow.

Live 2004 came out yesterday- If you haven't bought it or don't check out the 2004 forums, then you are probably not aware that for some reason EA added the Spanish National Team to the new game.
This is good news for you National Teams 2000 patch players, because not only did they add the the team, EA also made faces for all 12 guys. I must say that most of them are of very good quality. That can only mean one thing; i will convert these bad boys to Live 2000 for the Spain team.

I will convert these 6 players:
Juan Carlos Jimenez
Carlos Marco
Jose' Manuel Calderon
Jose Paraiso
Alex Mumbre
Luis Angulo

[Dirtdog1- David]

Hello Live 2000 survivor’s . I converted my first EA face from Live 2004 over to 2000. In my opinion EA did a real good job with about 10 of the NBA players and a few of the Spanish guys..................a couple of these guys don't have really great faces for live 2000.
So i did Yao because i thought his face could be better. Well check out the avatar for a preview of Yao and tell me what you think? It looks much better in game, because i had to size it down to 62x90 to fit the avatar and it lost some of it's quality. Tell me if i should continue with some of these conversion?........ and if it's worth it?
Converting the faces is not too hard; it's trying to get the skin tone right that is a problem. In 2004 the skin is much different and there are a lot more to choose from then the 5 you have to work with in Live 2000.

[Dirtdog1- David]

UConn Patch: I finished back-up big man Shamon Tooles, now i am at 10 of 12 players before i finish the patch.

I also converted Juan Carlos Jimenez from the Live 2004 faces list. I have no problem finding a correct headshape or converting the patch, the only thing is getting the skin colors to match. The difference in skin tones from 2000 to 2004 is huge, so this might be the last one i do, because i hate when the kneckline is off.

I didn't get no feedback on the Yao, so i take it wasn't too good.

[Dirtdog1- David]

Hey, I don't know if everyone have seen this, but there is a new site for Live 2000 open. I believe he is from Spain and named ObiWorm. He is keeping Live 2000 current with some new stuff.
I must say he makes some very nice jerseys for the ACB Euro league and i believe he has updated a couple of the National teams jerseys, for Spain and Serbia Montenegro I needed the help with the National teams patch, so i say a big thanks!
Check out his site: http://www.iespana.es/obiwormspatches/

New patch Richie Frahm -I started this patch before the season started but never finished, then Unoquepasa made his version . I don't like to duplicate patches, because there are several guys who still need patches but I was almost finished so i just finished it up............. This is one of the most detailed faces i ever made, so check it out and you choose which one you like and want to use.


Enjoy,



David

[unoquepasa]

I believe he is from Spain and named ObiWorm

Thanksgiving weekend here in the USA............... it's mad cold; so i got a chance to stay in and do some patching, and do up some of those un-finished patches i always start but never find time to get done.

Well another patch release today, and it's my version of Yao Ming (Patrixxx73 i know you are currently working on one; Sorry! ) , but i was so close to finishing it i had to finish up.

You can get this at Alexsite................. probably on sunday.

I wish i could display previews, but for some reason they never show up.
Anyone have a suggestion on why, and somewhere else i could link them from? I am currently linking off of the Yahoo briefcase, and they only show up for me???????? If anyone want's to see a preview of any on my new releases, just E-Mail me.

No problem David, Anyway I was only experimenting on Yao Ming's face. Regarding your previews, i recommend you to try uploading your screenshot previews at www.uploadit.org so far, they are reliable.

Thanks dude and let's continue making NBA Live 2000 simply the best!

[Dirtdog1- David]

Here are preview's of some of latest patches: Tell me if they show up?
