Various patches-RELEASE 1.31Final-roster,250sigshts,andother

Thanks Weber for your reply! I hope you made the correct fixes and that NBA LIVE 08 will be as enjoyable for you as to us. Ya, that thing really pissed me off since the game got very boring, there will be only one pass made and right away a shot... I think the problem was that it was a set-play and that the CPU are designed to shoot after they curl around a screen...But this happens in every possession which became very repetitive

Sounds good ! can't wait to check these new shots around the basket.

I think you misunderstood me about the sigshots. I was trying to compare how you edit them to create a time of release, so that you could fix those hook shots , where the players don't release and land with the ball. Of course that was a wild guess, since i'm not familiar with the process of editing animations. There are 2 hook shots with this problem: one done by small guys and another by big ones like Yao. Aside from making the player release the ball on both of them, the Yao one needs have a much lower jump, since his head almost surpasses the backboard.

About Gasol GTM, you could try to make him go towards the basket, and see if it doesn't look too weird.

Thank for fixing the layup headfake

WebberF1!!!!
can u give me a date for ur new release plz??

I can't give a date but I can say things are almost ready and the hardest work is finished. Just fine tuning things at the moment blood915.., things like minutes for each player and shots. The trades have been done and shoes for updated for players with new teams. Still need to do all star team and jerseys. Also going to have a look at changing lightmaps for each court, to get more of an effect similar to dahls new courts where the floor is not so bright and shiny. If I can get it so its in the middle point between what it used to be and dahls courts, it might look cool. Might also try to add the foot mats near the middle of scorers table and nba logo. Thats another cool idea that dahls courts have that might be cool.

Ive taken everyones ideas on board and will try them out.

nice

WebberF1,

i need your help sir, i want to use the default font. sorry for this.

Your work is superb bro.
One simply sugestion: please change Derek Fisher sigsht and maybe add some hook to Bynum.

To use original font, remove the font from the text file. The fonts.txt text file should look like this.

EADsplyN.ttf
EADsplyI.ttf


instead of

*the custom font*
EADsplyI.ttf

If you copy pase the first one into fonts.txt it should bring default fonts back. Next time read instructions included with font.. I think I even included the default fonts.txt file in the zip.

Your work is superb bro.
One simply sugestion: please change Derek Fisher sigsht and maybe add some hook to Bynum.

Change to what? He has 2 sigshots at the moment, one where he crouches before shot and one where he doesn't. What part of the shot looks wrong? And Bynum has a hook GTM already.

Here is a preview of the mats I was talking about before..

WebberF1!!!

u know when a sub from the bench is going to play
they wait at the center side of the court

can u do that?

Blood915 - that can't be done..u might pray that EA will include such feature on the upcoming series..

Any new releases WebberF1 my friend?

WebberF1!!!

can u just release the roster? just the roster

Yo Webber my man, your rosters and singshots is the best, but I have one request: it will the best that you realease your final rosters when the trade are closed, before all-stars.And I ask you can you make a linas kleiza singshot, and if you can fix carmelo anthony, j.r. smith and kenyon martin, those guys in real nba game dunks like crazy but in game only layups, hope you understund me.


Sorry my bad english

Its great!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i have problem with NEWBLE and PAVLOVIC rating Please fix him

Man, your roster patches are the best!! i hope you decide to make more for the upcoming Lives in the near future!

great patch webberf1!!!

can i make one single request?

can you make Luther Head's sigshot? He has a very unique shot which really stands out....

A.I. 3, I will have a look at what I can do for those dunks. I don't want it so that dunks happen too much but some teams like Denver do. So Ill see what I can do. And it's probably best that I release this last roster after the trade deadline actually, good idea.

modifly, If you can find me a youtube vid Luther, where it shows the shot your talking about I can do it.

Just a quick update, graphics are done. It's just fine tuning the sub patterns and shot distributions. Hopefully the gameplay makes it worth the wait. If I wait until all star break, it will give me some time to go over some of the ratings again.. if there was players that were shooting (or playing) bad in first few months, but have improved over the last month. It would help if you can mention any players that you know of that are like this. Players like Wade, Pavlovic, Hughes, Hinrich etc

thanks in advance, WebberF1 !

I found for you a youtube video of Luther, thought it might turn out useful :

http://youtube.com/watch?v=VvLpHJyyccA

He swings his legs to the front alot, and sometimes holds is hand shortly after the shot too.

This is a picture of him shooting :

His goto moves could be when he cross over and just shoot it from the three, I think I might be wrong. He could dunk though, in nba live he couldn't

Here are some of Mike James video , incase you might be interested

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZmetFX2KEI

He shoots the ball with a high arch and holds both his hands after the shot.

any more resources you need, please tell me and i'll do my best

The mats is bad, logo too small, blur. Shouldn't Atlanta Hawks inscription. Sorry man

Don't be sorry. But I don't think its a really big deal when you only see them from so far away. How often are you going to be looking at them in a game situation up close. It's this reason that I didn't worry about finding out which teams have logos and which teams have plain white ones. I just did logos for all teams, because even if its slightly wrong its better then no mats at all.

thanks in advance, WebberF1 !

Ill see what I can do about Luther, he already has one but I can maybe improve it. From that photo, I can say that its one of the positions to hold the ball thats not possible to make. There are a few that aren't possible and thats one of them. If you have the ball more to the side like that, either the legs will be apart or the back won't be straight. I should be able to make his legs kick out more tho. Because EA didn't have all the possible shot positions and body positions, it's just about trying to find the right balance of the different parts of the shot, because its rare that it can be exact. If we could edit the ball position like we can edit the face shapes, then we would be set. Even when its not exact I still think its better then default.

edit- just did mike james's.. pretty close i think, hopefully you'll like.

I know that from pictures is estimate heavily or logo is colourful or else blackly white. It did not walk me excessively exactly about this, because colourful they about many look better even. It walked me about this that you for small logos had given, give a little larger and it will be well.

Sorry my English i use translator.

BTW Or it seems to me or these mats this really doormat to shoes?

finally got your patch to work! thanks and hope you update the roster soon

When you say that he already has one, do you mean he already has a signature shot? If that's what you mean, the one where he has isn't anywhere close

i dont really mind about the position of the ball because as you said, it is impossible to make
That's absolutely ok though. I just realises that before he release the ball, he kind of bring the ball up and down a little ( like a small clutch ) if you look closely enough on the video, you will problably notice this. I'm not sure whether it is possible to do though, cause that is purely animation
If it is possible then that would be awesome!!! He also shoots a high arch though

PS.
I'm just curious, if you bring the ball to the side, the back will not be straight right? Is that alot? Can you try to bring it to the side and post a screenshot or something to show it?

I also have a very strong feeling that I will be impress with Mike James!!

After all, thanks for everything. I will try to find more of Luther Head's shot to give you a more clearer idea of how his shot is. This youtube video is not very clear. This way you can understand of what I meant by when I said he kind of bring the ball up and down like a small clutch before he shoot. [All of this in while he is in the air]
