DBF Editing & Sliders Questions

DBF Question:
Is it possible to move a player line to the other line without affectin the game itself? For ex: switch Alan Henderson's line to Glenn Robinson's line, virce-versa. I've tried it, and there's seem nothin's wrong. But when I create a player, ex: Rob, then save it, close the game and open players.dbf, there is no Rob's name inside; then when I get back to the game, he's still there. How can it happen? I do this thing coz I want to re-order my created players without changin their stats whatsoever to the other line.
I have some problems with adjusting the sliders (duh) on allstar/superstar level, I hope u guys can help me out:
Player Dunk & Lay Up sliders:
how can a player like Kevin Garnett or other player dat have 90+ dunk & 70+ ins.scoring can miss so many buckets even when they're wide open. I've tried to slide over from normal 50 to about 80-90+ and it's still the same.
CPU Shooting sliders:
the CPUs have a great ability to beat the buzzer all the time even with a man in his face. And when a player with 0 3pt like Dikembe Mutombo can make a trifecta when the shot clock expired is really hurtin. I dropped all the shooting slider below 40, but it just drive them even nasty.
I like the challenge playin on a higher level, but when it became unrealistic like those probs above, it just drivin me nuts!
So if anyone can solve this out, it'll really help. Oh, one last thing: is the adj.shot percent affect the overall shootin % (includin dunk & lay up) ?

No easy way to reorder the entries in the DBF, as far as I know. Doing so generally corrupts the database.

yeh that happens to me too when the clock is running out they just shoot a 3 with a hand in their face and always nail it

Okay, I've fix my sliders prob by move the cpu's one really low, bout 20+ so they can miss the shot a lot too 
Another questions:
How to change the following default teams/players:
PLay Now: Lakers vs Pistons
Slam Dunk School: C.Anthony
Individual Practice: C.Anthony
1-on-1: C.Anthony & L.james
So when I start over NBA Live 2k5, I can straight playin for ex: Spurs vs Pistons as the default team on Play Now
