Thanks for the tip, I'll investigate further.

Does anyone have any idea on how i can get these players on my NBA Live for the ps2....i have online play...so if anyono can help me i would be greatly appreciative.

Sincerely,
Lil Zane

I don't think anything can be done for the versions on PS2 or Xbox, since they are console games.

preciate it

smush parker aint in the plyrface.viv
and look at this screenshot.

Andrew, it would be great if you can add the missing players in the game (those with faces).

Yeah but EA must release codes first...

no, there is another way to put them in. they can be added to the free agents, i did it last year with those hidden players. therefore you need a *.dbf editor

i don't know what's going on with this faces...
i edited 3 players on the players.dbf and each one turned out different from the other, even though i edited exactly the same values.
Matt Carroll was OK both portraits and 3D face
Junior Harrington's portrait was smaller like that smush parker screenshot and when i clicked to see his 3D face the game crashed
Sasha Vujanic had the portrait OK but when i went to see him 3D there were just a pink surface.. totally weird...

By default, those players aren't in the database so I don't think they're true hidden players. It seems that the faces are also unsuitable; those guys will need to be patched.

using andrew roster patch, i edit 3 players vujacic, ivey and duhon and it all turn okey. i already used sasha in my dynasty and i dont encounter any problem.

can you help me please?
tell me what tool you used and what fields did you edit...

can you help me please?
tell me what tool you used and what fields did you edit...

any dbf editor. i used DB commander 200 pro. here the link if you dont have one

http://www.dbcommander.com/

then open your andrew roster files and open the player.dbf

Players.dbf
Change the Following Field Attributes Sasha Vujacic
DELETED = F
ISCREATED = F
FACEPATCH = F
ISGENERATE = F
ISHISTORIC = F
PLAYERPKG = SAVUJAC

Appearance.dbf
In the Players.dbf locate the APPEARID for the Player and then search for it in the Appearance.dbf file. Once located make the following
changes

DELETED = F
FACEID = -1
ID7 = SAVUJAC

Now just load up the roster and the player should now be in the game. Enjoy

do these to other players like duhon (CHDUHON) and ivey (ROIVEY_)

again thanks for LBM for the tutorial

From Sprogi at NBALIVE.org

Here is a list of players that are in the players.viv and are not in the original roster:
Albert Miralles - almiral
Aleksander Vujacic - alvujac
Blake Stepp - blstepp
Christian Drejer - chdreje
Chris Duhon - chduhon
Desmond Penigar - depenig
Donta Smith - dosmith
Ha Seung-Jin - haseung
Matt Carroll - macarro
Marcus Douthit - madouth
Pape Sow - pasow__
Rickey Paulding - ripauld
Royal Ivey - roivey_
Sergey Lishchuk - selisho
Sergei Monya - 2x semonia, semonya
Shane Heal - shheal_
Vassilis Spanoulis - vaspano
Viktor Sanikidze - visanik

They all have their cyberface, head and bodyshape and their 2D picture.
So in the new roster patch they can be simply added.

thanks for the help Micchy_boy

i wasn't editing the appearance.dbf... that's why it was crashing

is there any way to enlarge those hidden player portraits?
they are all 64x64 whereas the normal ones are 128x128

Guess I'll have to make the changes in the roster patch then; I had heard that the files weren't suitable. Thanks for the info.

so andrew will you add most if not all of the hidden players???

and when it will be coz your i will use your next roster update for my dynasty. but no need to hurry il just wait here....

That'd rock if he would because I just got the PC version as of yesterday.

is there any way to enlarge those hidden player portraits?
they are all 64x64 whereas the normal ones are 128x128

You have to enlarge the pic in FshX to 128x128, and then import a new ebo file, hex edited to the correct plyrpkg.

wait you mean the player portrait??? in my game when i edit players like vujacic, ivey and duhon they have exact size as all other players portrait.

and by the way i think this list was already proven.

Here is a list of players that are made in the game and were left out of the rosters:

Albert Miralles - almiral
Aleksander Vujacic - alvujac
Blake Stepp - blstepp
Christian Drejer - chdreje
Chris Duhon - chduhon
Desmond Penigar - depenig
Donta Smith - dosmith
Ha Seung-Jin - haseung
Matt Carroll - macarro
Marcus Douthit - madouth
Pape Sow - pasow__
Rickey Paulding - ripauld
Royal Ivey - roivey_
Sergey Lishchuk - selisho
Sergei Monya - 2x semonia, semonya
Shane Heal - shheal_
Vassilis Spanoulis - vaspano
Viktor Sanikidze - visanik

They all have their cyberface, head and bodyshape and their 2D picture.
So there is no need for creating those players, just make a new dbf entry.

so andrew will you add most if not all of the hidden players???

and when it will be coz your i will use your next roster update for my dynasty. but no need to hurry il just wait here....

I'll be adding them, perhaps not all in the next update though. Some of them are on active rosters so I've already created them - obviously all I need to do with them is change the appropriate attributes.

[color=darkblue][i][b]wait you mean the player portrait??? in my game when i edit players like vujacic, ivey and duhon they have exact size as all other players portrait.

What I meant is for the few players, like Smush Parker, Mario Kasun, Matt Bonner, etc. who's portraits are tiny ones in the top left corner, to fix that you have to do what I mentioned above.

For the missing players, I am almost finished portraits for all of the ones currently on NBA teams. Here's a list of the ones I've finished/updated:

DJ Mbenga - DAL
Arthur Johnson - DEN
Horace Jenkins - DET
Smush Parker* - DET
Andre Barrett - HOU
John Edwards - IND
Quinton Ross - LAC
Awvee Storey - NJ
Nenad Krstic - NJ
Tim PIckett - NO
Mario Kasun* - ORL
Erik Daniels - SAC
Maurice Evans - SAC
Ibrahim Kutluay - SEA
Damien Wilkins - SEA
Matt Bonner* - TOR
Aleksander Radojevic - UTA
Laron Profit - WAS

*-updated

I will probably release this in the next few days, I'm just working on the installation, and I'm testing for bugs.

You have to enlarge the pic in FshX to 128x128, and then import a new ebo file, hex edited to the correct plyrpkg.

can u explain this in more details?
