I'm a big fan of
Slam Dunk and I'd really like to see a mod.
And if there was a Streetball Mod, why can't there be a
Slam Dunk Mod. I don't think he was planning to implement any new animations anyway.
Some kind of confusion may have arose from the word "anime," but that's just a word for japanese animation. He wasn't talking about adding new animations to NBA Live.
And if there's anything I can help with as far as the mod is concerned, i.e. character information, team information, player ratings, etc. I'd be happy to help. I used to have a midi of the soundtrack, too. But I can't do anything like making cyberfaces and stuff...
All the best,
Eugene
On a side note, there's an online comic called "BuzzerBeater," created by the same guy who wrote
Slam Dunk. If you guys want to check it out, here's the link.
