Dynasty Mode Updates

[MikeMan™]

Hey . . . Mr. Andrew on the next release of your roster update , can you update the dynasty mode draft ?
What I mean is to replace durant's rookie class with this year's rookies . . . ( Rose, Mayo etc.)
and can you please change san antonio's team info . . .
On you're v2.9 the spurs team info is more on fastbreaks rather than half court sets . . .
I think this what makes the spurs always run in my game . . .
also player chemistry , thinks it's a factor on a teams game . . .
last , can you please try to change the team's overall rating so it can be as close as their real team records .
Example : Dynasty Mode Overall Team Record
Boston Sucks in Dynasty Mode - They always rank 6-8 in the east in my game but in reality they rank 2nd (east)
L.A. Lakers - Always ranks 4-7 in my game .
Houston , Mav's and Denver - Always the top teams in my game (west)
Spurs and Jazz suck too . . .
especially sixers even though they got elton throughout the season they didn't qualify for the playoffs.

I haven't found a way to do that. If I can I will, but at this point I probably won't be able to.

and can you please change san antonio's team info . . .

It's based on the ratings of the players that are on the team. It's not an independent attribute that I can change, sorry.

also player chemistry , thinks it's a factor on a teams game . . .

It's actually not as much a factor as it claims to be. To me the results have always seemed a little random despite the attribute in players.dbf, in my experience it hasn't been worth messing around with in advanced.

last , can you please try to change the team's overall rating so it can be as close as their real team records .

No, I can't change that. Well, I can, but there's really no point. The team overall is calculated automatically according to the players on the roster so there's no point setting it to something else. The Celtics should be rated fairly high anyway. I test the rosters a lot before release and the random nature of simulation sees a lot of results, some better than others. The bottom line, NBA Live 08 PC was a very sloppy release. Despite our best efforts, there's a lot of issues we just haven't been able to fix or improve to a more desirable level.

The player chemistry is really random, there might be some kind of pattern though, but in some dynasties players will like the city size more or less as an example.

think i found a way to change the draft class . . . think you've got to change the players.dbf entries . . . make a new entry for the 2008 class . just like durant's class some of them have 3 entries on players.dbf. example . durant has 3 entries soph's , okc and the draft class .
rose has only 2 entries - rookie's , chicago.
add a new entry for rose then change his team number to 39 for him to be in the draft class and delete the generated rookies like roper,ward bla bla bla .

[Andrew]

Durant only occurs twice in the players.dbf for the NLSC rosters, once on the Thunder and once in the Sophomore team. The only players in the Rookie Pool by default are the fictional ones.

[MikeMan™]

Ok my bad . . .
Well as I have said before . . .
think you've got to add new entries for the 2008 rookie class . . .
think this is what you got to change .(ORIGTEAM to -1 TEAM to 39 and CASH_TEAM to 39) . . .
Can you please try it ?

[Andrew]

No, sorry. I've got my hands full as it is maintaining rosters for four different games and that would be extremely time consuming for me at the moment.

[MikeMan™]

Ok , I understand . . .
Well , thanks anyway !
Hope you'll try it someday .
