Replay one of the most exciting seasons in NBA history with the NLSC 1995/1996 Season Roster patch! Take control of your favourite NBA team with rosters accurate as of opening night, 1995. Wheel and deal players (all with their 1996 salaries and contracts) and compete for free agents at the end of the year. Will Shaq remain in Orlando, or will he sign with the Lakers like his real life counterpart?
Complete with retro courts, jerseys and faces, the 1995/1996 Season patch is one of the most detailed single season throwback roster updates to date. Play in the mid-90s with 21st Century gaming technology and replicate history...or rewrite it!
Features
- 1995/1996 Opening Night Rosters
- 1996 All-Star Teams
- Real Salaries & Salary Cap from the 95/96 season
- Accurate contract lengths - take control of Orlando and try to keep Shaq, or play as the Lakers and try to lure the Diesel to LA.
- Correct player ages (note that year of birth information is inaccurate as a result)
- All teams have correct coaches
- Ratings adjusted to reflect player skill and performance during the 1996 season
- Default playoff bracket replaced with 1996 playoff bracket
Please note that all players still have career stats through the 2002/2003 season and the game will recognise the year as being 2003 when you start a new Dynasty.

A huge thanks to everyone has contributed to this update and to everyone who has been waiting so patiently for this mod. I hope it lives up to the expectations.
Update v1.01 (March 3rd, 2007)
I've made a small but long overdue update to the 95/96 roster patch for NBA Live 2004, adding the correct retro court for the Grizzlies as well as fixing an error with George McCloud's cyberface. You can download the updated version of the patch here.
Please note that I have no plans to undertake any other projects for NBA Live 2004, though I am always happy to add any files for older games that are submitted for inclusion in our Downloads section.
