location of all the graphics to create a new team

where are all the graphics that you need to copy to create a new team located?
besides from the jersey files and jersey portrait files

My experience was that there are so many places where you have to add graphics to add a team that it is almost impossible to catch them all. And if you don't catch them all, the game will crash on you.

The fields TEAMABR2 and TEAMABR4 in TEAMS.DBF are used to point to graphics objects. For example, for All Stars West, TEAMABR2 is x2. c:\Program Files\EA Sports\NBA Live 2005\fe\logos.viv contains logos~medium~x2.big And logos~medium~x2.big contains x2.apt, x2.const, x2.ebo and x2.fsh. And so on for the rest of the objects. As you can see, this spirals out of control pretty fast.

What worked for me was editing one of the existing entries in TEAMS.DBF (in my case All-Stars West) and taking advantage of the existing graphics. Then as I figured out individual graphics, I replaced them with custom graphics. The good news is the game doesn't crash. The bad news is that I still have graphics objects that look like All-Stars west instead of my custom team.

Good luck.
