Anorexic Shaq

[midLfinger]

I have the game on PS2 and Shaq is skinnier than anybody else on the Lakers. His head and neck are still regular size, though. He looks crazy. It's like this constantly, too. I noticed that the Shaq on the 90s All Star Team looks like the real Shaq so I decided to put him on the Lakers so that he would look right. I did it and it seemed to work. Then I went to check the Laker's Shaq's (Now a free agent) ratings so that I could make them equal on the 90s All Star Shaq (Now on the Lakers). When I went back to the Lakers the 90s Shaq (now the Laker's Shaq) had become skinny. I was very angry. I switched him back to the 90s All Star Team and he became regular sized again. Now, whenever I put him on the Lakers he is automatically skinny. The Lakers Shaq even stays skinny as a free agent. I'm thinking there's a problem when Shaq has a Lakers uniform on but, like I said, the problem also exists when he has a free agent uniform on. I put my disc in my friends PS2 and the problem persists. Is anybody else getting this? Does anybody know the solution?

my cuzin's file on my nba live 2004 also has that problem. weird thing is, i dont have it. maybe its on your memory or something. is it corrupted? coz i think my cuzin's nba live file is corrupted or some sort.

I checked it w/o a memory card inserted (don't know why I didn't try this before) and he's "diesle-sized" again. I'll try to redo the rosters tomorrow and find out if he'll look big or small after all the transactions.

I think that if you edit any of his gear like shoes or anything, he becomes skinny.

Okay, I re-did the rosters and he's back to normal. The only thing I changed was that I made his wristband yellow instead of automatic. However, I didn't edit anything on the All Star Shaq when I put him on the Lakers and he still got skinny. Oh, well, at least he looks normal now.

So what screws him up? Cause I don't wanna go through player and roster updates and the have Shaq go on a major diet on me.

On the other thread you said that you updated his gear. I changed his wristband the first time and he got skinny. The second time I didn't and he didn't get skinny. Note: What I did was redo all the rosters and save it as Roster2 in order to ensure that he doesn't change. I turned off my console and restarted it and loaded Roster2. Shaq was still the way he is in reality. I was so happy that I just deleted 'Roster' and saved 'Roster2' as 'Roster'. Initially, though, I was going to save 'Roster2' as 'Roster' and keep 'Roster2' around just so that I could try changing different things and seeing what messes him up. I'll try that later on but I'm pretty sure it has to do with changing his gear.

You edit shaq, he loses Weight...so leave shaq alone...just do so.
