Vintage NBA mods - anyone working on that?

[abdelkader]

Hello.
I wanted to play some classic NBA seasons with old squads. What I managed to find are the rosters made by PatTheHead for different NBA seasons. It's a great piece of work but they are only the rosters.

Has anyone made or is making any classic NBA mod? I'm especially interested in mid 90s seasons like 95/96 or 96/97(I've got only the rosters for this one)
I suppose NBA Live 2005 is the only game which doesn't have such classic mods.

For the time being I have got only the courts which I took from NBA 06 1997/98 mod and they work fine in NBA 2005.
The game itself has a lot of vintage jerseys as well but there are still some of them missing and what I need is one huge package including everything - courts, jerseys, faces, rosters etc - like NLSC 09-10 mod. My dream would be having one, huge NLSC 1995/96 or 1996/97 mod.
It's only my personal opinion but I suppose it was the best era of NBA and it'd be nice to be able to live through all of this one more time.

I don't think anyone's actively involved in making any at this time. I've made retro rosters in the past but they are time consuming projects and need a few people working on them to really turn out properly.

Sorry to hear it :/
Actually, at least for 96-97 season, the rosters are already made...even by two different guys. So the only thing which needs creating are cyberfaces and some of the jerseys and courts (as I said, I took a lot of them from 97-98 NBA 06 mod). Well, maybe in the future someone will see to it...

You said you have made some rosters. What seasons are they?

Thanks for the answer

The 95/96 rosters for NBA Live 2004 is the last retro project I was a part of. It's still available in our Downloads section.

I see. When you said rosters, I thought you meant the files which are to be placed in 'My documents/NBA live 2005' directory.

By the way, I know that there is 1995/96 mod for NBA 2004...unfortunately, I don't have NBA Live 2004 anymore and I can't enjoy it :/

No, I've never made any retro updates for NBA Live 2005, just the current roster updates. Sorry for any confusion.

That's a huge pity you haven't made anything for NBA 2005. As I said, in this case I'll have to cope with my made-with-various-body-parts 96/97 mod. A kind of Frankenstein's monster of NBA. Even Mary Shelley ain't fit to hold a candle to it
