v1.16 released...

Hi Andrew,

can you tell if the contracts are also updated? Length and amount of money...
Thx

Not as of yet, I've been waiting for confirmation in most cases. I'll most likely wait until we're closer to the beginning of next season to do contracts since they're quick and easy, and more (reliable) information will be available then.

Can you tell me how to do it myself? And by the way, how can I let player retire for example Ronny Turiaf, Tyrone Hill, and so on...

Easiest way to take a player out of the visible/active rosters is to move him to Team 38. Changing the player's salary is also easy - see this reference for more information.

Andrew, i just want to make sure you notice my idea in the '25 rookie cyberfaces and installers for Andrew's roster' thread. I'm not trying to force my idea, I just want to make sure you see it.

Andrew Did you fix contracts. Also a little question about R. Jefferson Rating He is going to be a superstar in the league in a season or two I was wondering if you could tweak his ratings a little more. And Jason Kidd He is considered the second best point guard After Steve Nash but Steve Nash is still a lot less than A Iverson Kidd And Marbury. My suggestion is as follows . Iverson Jump and Dunk should be a lot higher because he can throw it down in traffic

Steve Nash 92
Jason Kidd 92
Iverson 90+development
Steve Francis Some how bring lower his team was 33-49
Starbury 84

Krstic should be a superstar according to my view and other media members
He should start rating should be 69. According to me his strength should be higher his inside scoring is much higher he has good range and can on a good night score 25-30 His stamina should be higher.

Chris webber is a good perimeter shooter his 3 pt. should be 65 it balances his rating.

And MIle Llic is considered a lotery caliber player could you please tweak rating.

Checkout Antooine Wright Rating.

Sean May is also little low.
Thanks I hope I have not blasted your efforts to provide us with quality rosters Thanks for the work.

one problem, i have deleted 1 guy in pacers roster from dbc commander, since he wasnt able to waive or trade. but when i restart the game and check there, hes still on the team, and unable to move to injury list and stuff...please somebody help...i wanna make him dissappear from this game...
btw, nice roter andrew

Andrew, i just want to make sure you notice my idea in the '25 rookie cyberfaces and installers for Andrew's roster' thread. I'm not trying to force my idea, I just want to make sure you see it.

Yes, I noticed that post and responded to it.

Andrew Did you fix contracts.

I answered this question just a few posts up from yours. Please read the previous posts before asking questions or posting corrections, saves me having to answer the same things over and over as well as saving you some time too.

Also a little question about R. Jefferson Rating He is going to be a superstar in the league in a season or two I was wondering if you could tweak his ratings a little more.

No. If and when he becomes a superstar, I'll adjust his ratings accordingly. Until then, I feel his current ratings are just fine.

And Jason Kidd He is considered the second best point guard After Steve Nash but Steve Nash is still a lot less than A Iverson Kidd And Marbury.

Steve Nash is not as good defensively. I do not boost overall ratings based on popularity or opinion on who is the best at a position. Even if Steve Nash is the best true point guard in the game today, his game is not complete enough to warrant ratings that would push his overall as high as the other players you mentioned.

Iverson Jump and Dunk should be a lot higher because he can throw it down in traffic

No. Allen Iverson doesn't dunk nearly as much as he used to, I feel his dunk rating is fine as it is.

Steve Nash 92
Jason Kidd 92
Iverson 90+development
Steve Francis Some how bring lower his team was 33-49
Starbury 84

No. Additionally, I don't boost player's ratings just to change the overall as it is not as significant as it's often made out to be.

Krstic should be a superstar according to my view and other media members

No. Krstic is by absolutely no means a superstar.

Chris webber is a good perimeter shooter his 3 pt. should be 65 it balances his rating

No. He is not as prolific from three point range as he used to be, he does not warrant a rating of 65.

And MIle Llic is considered a lotery caliber player could you please tweak rating.

No. I don't assign ratings simply on potential or where a player was picked in the draft.

Checkout Antooine Wright Rating.

What specifically is wrong?

Sean May is also little low.

In what areas? Again, I do not boost the overall rating or lower it just so it looks better as the end result is poorer and unrealistic individual ratings, which are actually much more significant.

songaila want come to denver nugets

Again, please do not post transactions or rumoured transactions. Thank you.

Al Jeff should definetly have some boosted physical numbers, he's added strength like a mofo during the summer.

Tony Allen should be raised slightly in the field goal rating, it's improved. But he's still a jumpshot and experience away from all-stardom.

'Toine Walker should have his primacy/hardiness-ratings considerably lowered.

I'd argue for Green to be somewhat quicker, but to each his own.

Thanks Habakkuk.

when will the 1.17 be released?

Again, I'm not answering that question as the answer is clearly posted for all to see in the announcement thread labelled "Next Roster Release Date". Sorry, but I have said a few times I won't be answering that question now that I've made estimates for the next release readily available in that announcement thread.

Andrew, I don't know if this is too much work for you, but I've made a list of the changes I made to players' skin color and body types from the appearance.dbf. This list is based on the cyberfaces I added. I thought maybe you'd like to see the list, and maybe make these changes to the .dbf (you don't need the cyberfaces, just change the skin or body type to the following numbers)

- changed following skin tones (COLOR in appearance.dbf):
1633 anbogut - 1
1634 mvwilli - 4
1635 dewilli - 2
1638 mawebst - 4
1642 anbynum - 4
1647 anwrigh - 3
1648 jograha - 3
1651 hawarri - 3
1654 jajack_ - 3
1658 jamaxie - 4
1661 wasimie - 2
1663 sastoud - 2
1664 daewing - 3
1666 camiles - 3
1669 roturiaf - 4
1676 maandri - 0
1682 rygomes - 3
1704 sajasik - 0

- changed following body types (BODYTYPE in appearance.dbf)
1653 narobin - 4
1654 jajack_ - 2
1666 camiles - 2
1669 roturiaf - 5
1680 migelab - 2

The first number is the APPEARID number, the name is the player, the second number is my suggestion for the changed skin or body type. I hope this is helpful.

After playing a season or so, I have a few more suggestions.

Al Jeff needs to have his inside scoring boosted, that and his stamina.

Green has off/def-awareness too high. His problem isn't that he hasn't the skill to play in the NBA, it's just that he looks lost. Totally and utterly lost. Low 30's.

Blount is too good, and I know you don't like to lower ratings to adjust the OA. You don't have to. Lower all his ratings. He's that worthless.

Pierce needs to be stronger.

When I try to play Dynasty mode with the V 1.16 patch from NBA-live.com I can play games etc. but when I save and later on try to load that save my NBA live crashes. Anyone else having troubles with this?

Thanks for the latest.

YoG!: I see you've already been able to resolve that problem thanks to Eldad.

Why some players or coaches in rosters 1.16 doesn't have a face for example Kasun,Phil Jackson,Smush Parker,Booner and some others ? They have something red on their faces-it's little frustrating

^ Smush Parker has a face portrait, I think, if that's what you mean. Although, it didn't look right. Too small? Can you check on that Andrew? Also his NBA profile lists him as 6'4, I think you had him at 6'3 or 6'2.

That players has small pictures on face portrait-they are couple of them. Can you check that Andrew

Marco Jaric is listed as 6-7, you have him as 6-5.

Macjijauskas with anything below 90 in FG (well... 86 at the lowest) & 3pt is silly. And I think you know it. He might not translate his whole game to the NBA, but he will always be a magnificent shooter. Anything lower and I would interpret it as principle only.

Deng Gai is supposedly a defensive beast, isn't reflected at all in the game. But I've never ever seen anything on him. So I'll be quiet.

I'd still argue that LeBrons dunk-rating is too high.

LaFrentz needs his quickness tweaked down, 54-ish right now even though his knee supposedly got better over the summer.

andrew im not trying 2 rush u but im just wondering about when is NLSC 1.17 be released ? and can you please release all the players that teams waiwed example . Mavs released finley but on nlsc 1.16 he is still on MAVS .

when is NLSC 1.17 be released ?

I think he's tired of seeing that. There is a thread called 'Next Roster Release Date'. Check there. About the Finley thing, the roster was made before then.

This is explained in-depth in Faces Troubleshooting.txt

That's because the update contains a face update for him but not a portrait patch. There was however a portrait for him left hidden in the original .viv file, but it's the wrong size. Can't do anything about that unless someone provides me with a portrait update for Smush Parker.

See above.

I am indeed fed up with answering that question, especially since the clearly labelled "Next Roster Release Date" announcement thread can clearly be found. I will not answer that question in any of the support threads from now on. I've also mentioned that it will generally be every two weeks, so please be patient and understand I have commitments and a life outside of the NLSC.

Again, you do not have to remind me about transactions that I haven't missed! At the time of the last release, none of those players had been cut; they have been released in version 1.17. When a transaction is made after a roster is released, obviously that version is not going to contain that transaction.

Andrew, could you just respond to my reasoning about Macijauskas above. I'm curious as to how you reason when two of the highest touted players in europe comes over to the NBA and gets really low ratings.
