I've been using your rosters since live 2000 you do an excellent job

Thanks for the input.

Also can you do something about Mo-Pete's Dunk pack. He is trying to be the next VC in toronto. Eventhough he missis his dunks he still is trying. SO could you change his dunkpack to something that ---dunks instead of layups.

How about updating the body types? E.Curry looks like he needs to join the 'weight watchers'! Honestly, we need to do something about it...

No problem about Mo Pete. And yes, I'll update Curry's bodytype...I did mean to do that earlier but forgot about it.

thankx andrew

While weare talking FG%....I'm gonna give another plug to Steve Nash....players with high FG% are nearly always guys who get the chance to take alot of high % shots (ie dunks and tip ins).....Nash is 7th in the NBA in FG% - of the top 20 players in the NBA, Nash is the only guard, hte only player under 6'8", the only player who doesn't spend alot of time around the basket....I know he got a small boost last patch update, but I feel he maybe deserves more - the guy is having a stellar season.....just my thoughts.

Code:

He's currently up around 88 after the mass re-rating, which I feel is fairly accurate. I'm not keen on raising him too much higher than that as he's already a gun when the CPU controls him.

Josh Smith ( Atlanta Hawks ) improve Block......at the last 64.....and rimb off

David Harrison ( Indiana Pacers ) improve Overall

JR Smith ( New Orleans Hornets ) improve FG - 3pts and speed

L.Deng ( Chicago Bulls ) improve speed 3pts and rimb....

Ben Gordon ( Chicago Bulls ) improve Speed 3pts and dribble


Please....this is my request


P.S.:excuse me but i don't wright english very well ........

David Harrison ( Indiana Pacers ) improve Overall

Sorry, but I don't boost ratings simply to change the overall rating. I've made quite a few changes to the ratings in v1.04, please check it out because I have addressed some of your suggestions already. However, I do not think 64 is an appropriate rating for Josh Smith at this time.

But Josh Smith is a big shootblockers...He have 1.68 in NBA......it's good for a rookie!

By the game's standards, it's a bit too high but I'll consider upping it before the end of the season.

Andrew,
How about putting a couple "Classic Teams" into your next patch? I have been making CAPs for classic teams for quite a while, and I usually simulate multiple times and make adjustments so as the teams are as accurate as possible. I know how much work it takes to make roster updates, so I can understand your phlight of having so many requests coming at you at once. I can post some ratings for players for a couple of classic teams, including the 1996 Bulls, which I have recently remade.

I'd prefer to make a seperate patch full of classic and special teams, but I won't rule out adding them to the current roster.

Well, you can PM me if you want some of my CAPs. I will be happy to send them.

I was wondering if the new cyberfaces were going to be in the next roster update and if Denis Rodman would be added with photo and other player with out photo
that they be added after the trade dead line.

v1.05 contains cyberfaces for Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley. v1.06 will contain more legend cyberfaces and possibly a couple more legends too. I'm going away for a week next weekend (Saturday, Feb 5th) so I'll have a new update out before I leave.
