I Have Some Questions?

Fri May 04, 2012 5:15 am

I don't know if we can do this or not?

1 How to make all CPU controlled teams not be involved in any trade with other CPU teams?

2 In Season Mode, user have the option to choose more than one team, but can we really play more than one team in season mode?

3 In Season and Dynasty Mode, how to chance the year 2007-2008 to 2011-12?

4 In Season and Playoff Mode, can we change playoff length from 3-3-3-3/7-7-7-7 to something like 1-3-5-7 or 3-3-5-7?

5 And how to use NBA Live 07 roster to Live 08? even if i also have live 07 i don't like to play it, because it's the worst live game ever! :lol:

Live 07 doesn't look that bad. I'm not an expert but I'll try to answer your questions.

1. I don't know about this, I mean you could do that in NBA LIVE 2003.

2. You can do that in NBA LIVE 2003.

3. Can't remember but didn't it have something to do with the Franchise/Save data? Maybe if you fool around in there you'll find something.

4. Not that I know of, would probably be difficult.

5. What Rosters are you talking about?

Yes,I believe you can do this.I think in Season/Dynasty mode you have the option of setting this before the Season/Dynasty mode starts.

G-Game wrote:2 In Season Mode, user have the option to choose more than one team, but can we really play more than one team in season mode?


Once again yes.

G-Game wrote:3 In Season and Dynasty Mode, how to chance the year 2007-2008 to 2011-12?


No you can't.I am prety sure it is possible,but it just is not worth the time of figuring out.

G-Game wrote:4 In Season and Playoff Mode, can we change playoff length from 3-3-3-3/7-7-7-7 to something like 1-3-5-7 or 3-3-5-7?


No.That is something that I wish EA had done though.

G-Game wrote:5 And how to use NBA Live 07 roster to Live 08? even if i also have live 07 i don't like to play it, because it's the worst live game ever! :lol:


Not sure.You might want to check the wiki on that one.

I hope that helps.

1. In Season Mode, there is an option to turn CPU Initiated Trades on and off. It is not available in Dynasty Mode.

2. Yes, in Season Mode. Again, not in Dynasty Mode.

3. It might be possible by editing franchise.dat after a Season/Dynasty game has started, but there's no tutorial for it at this time and I don't think anyone's done it successfully. There is another workaround you could try though.

4. No, you can only select from the available options.

5. It would need to be converted, adding the new fields in the databases for NBA Live 08 that weren't present in NBA Live 07. It's not a task for novices.

I somehow find a way to use live 07 roster to live 08, i copy paste players and appearance dbf one by one, i just thought there is an easier way to do that. thanks anyway for all the answers.

Re: I Have Some Questions?

Sat May 05, 2012 11:34 am

Considering NBA Live 08 added some extra fields to players.dbf, that shouldn't actually work. Unless of course the NBA Live 07 roster you're using was originally converted from NBA Live 08 and thus still has those fields in the database, but in that case you might as well just use the roster originally made for 08.

i did find a way to play 3 teams or more in my nba live 2007 dynasty mode.. its a matter of changing the ISHUMAN from false to true in a team that you want to control..just ask if you encountered any problem..

Re: I Have Some Questions?

Wed May 23, 2012 9:40 am

That has been tried before, but it's led to crashes in the offseason, an inability to access the PDA for all teams, stuff like that. Have you not encountered anything like that?

Re: I Have Some Questions?

Thu May 24, 2012 1:01 pm

i think the problem sir is the coaching staff... what i did is, i also change the coaching staff to the team that i want to play in the playoff..

Re: I Have Some Questions?

Fri May 25, 2012 8:37 am

I don't think you can play 3 teams at the same time, you mean 82 games per team? i don't think it's possible. Control more than one team - YES, play more than one team - NO. Some scenario if my team is LA Lakers then i chose to add and control Pacers then my current team will be Pacers instead of Lakers base on the letter, I and L.

Re: I Have Some Questions?

Sat May 26, 2012 9:59 am

That is why.... Because of the coaching staff, did you try it already?
..It's because in the begging of the season you will choose your coaching staff for the team that you want to control, therefore, that the coaching staff is for the team that you choose in the dynasty mode.. So if you want to control other team, you should also change the [(team) of the staff] you have hired for the other team that you want to control.. As of the moment, I'm managing LAKERS for the west and CELTICS for the east.. In the event they will meet each other, I will just control the team that owns the court..

If you're wondering about the email, that the MSGs there is for the dynasty team that you only choose at the start, team that you also choose also perform what you instructed, if you do that coaching staff editing..

Can you write your process on how you do that? I'm having the same result just like what i mention, And did you play 82 games for both LAL and BOS?

1st i load a dynasty controlling the Lakers,, :?: then i want also to play Boston
2nd i went to team.dbf and change the ISHUMAN of Boston which indicates FALSE.. so I changed it to TRUE..
what do you mean that "[your current team will be the PACERS]"? your LAKERS was disabled?

Re: I Have Some Questions?

Mon May 28, 2012 5:36 am

No, it's not disable i still have the control over the team but the problem here is, when i make Pacers ISHUMAN to True, instead of Lakers game schedule in display, it is now pacers schedule like i said base on the letter I and L, but if i choose to add Heat, of course Lakers Schedule will be in display, L and M. And another thing here just like what i said you can control more than one but you can only play only one team. If you check the game calendar even if there is a game schedule for that day, all your control add team will just simulate and the one in display will be playable. So that is why im asking you if you can play 82 games for both teams.

Re: I Have Some Questions?

Mon May 28, 2012 11:20 pm

No G-GAMe.. After you change the false into true on the ISHUMAN of a team that you want to control. There will be an indicator above the season schedule.. if you try to look above the team that you originally choose, it will have an arrow indicating that if you click that arrow the schedule of the other team which you also want to control will appear.

Uly,are you using this method on Live 07 or Live 08?

Re: I Have Some Questions?

Tue May 29, 2012 3:16 am

How about you Dc311, does his method works for you? For me 100% no!

Re: I Have Some Questions?

Tue May 29, 2012 5:35 am

I am not going to try this.I was just wondering if Uly is using this method on 07 or 08 because if he is using it in 07 then there is no point of continuing this thread.

Re: I Have Some Questions?

Tue May 29, 2012 10:04 am

well im just sharing my excitement in playing 2 or more team in a one season or dynasty...if you don't want to try this,well its up to you.

Thanks,I did not see that.

Uly,don't waste people's time with things you are doing with your Live 07 game in the Live 08 section.

Re: I Have Some Questions?

Tue May 29, 2012 11:18 am

To put it a bit more diplomatically, we appreciate you sharing this stuff Uly, but things can get confusing and misleading when you're offering advice that applies to one game in the section for another. As this thread pertains to NBA Live 08, any advice relating to NBA Live 07 is out of place.

ok ok ok!!i think Dc311 is kind a bitter on nba live 2007..

Re: I Have Some Questions?

Wed May 30, 2012 12:58 am

Maybe, maybe not, I'll leave that for Dc311 himself to answer. If nothing else though, it's off-topic and that leads to confusion and wasted time.

No I am not bitter about 2007.It should be basic common sense here in the forums Uly.Don't be a smart-ass with me.
