Draft Order Screwed Up

Fri Apr 22, 2011 12:59 pm

Sorry if this has been posted but I just downloaded the updated rosters for NBA 08. Because the Sonics are now in Oklahoma, the draft picks are messed up (Thunder has the Magic's pick, Magic has the 76ers, etc.) I think it's due to the change in team ID. Originally the Thunder was 26 but now they're 20 which messes up the teams after it.

Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks.

I mean trading draft picks in Dynasty Mode. I don't play with the fantasy draft thing.

Oklahoma has Orlando's draft picks
Orlando has Philadelphia's picks
Philly has Phoenix's picks
Phoenix has Portland's picks
Portland has San Antonio's picks
SA has Oklahoma's pick

well it may have been with the database.

Try copying the original tmcareer.dbf file to your save folder; be sure to make a backup first in case anything goes wrong. Simply changing team names and cities in teams.dbf shouldn't mess up the draft picks but I have encountered problems with the tmcareer.dbf file causing issues like that. Swapping in the default file resolved the problem.

Thanks a lot Andrew! It's not working but I can just manually trade the picks by controlling those teams through DBF editing for my Dynasty.

Your hard work makes NBA 08 playable. I swear if it wasn't for the tweaks and roster mods on this site, I'd probably be the first person charged with software homicide. :mrgreen:
