Sir Andrew, could you please include the SPEECHIDs of the 08-09 Draftees in your upcoming 1.07 updates...thanks...it really feels awkward when the rookie scores or enters the game but the arena announcer only annouces his number...

I don't have any SPEECHID updates for NBA Live 08, I can't include what I don't have. Sorry.

can i use kris aiact with your roster update?

You should be able to but I can't guarantee it will be 100% compatible.

[CEEPEE---3]

Can we, as users, develop SPEECHIDs for 08? How? Where can I get a software for it? Thanks...

[Andrew]

As far as I know, the Audy 06 editor doesn't work with NBA Live 08 so we can't edit the speech files. You might want to ask about that in the Patching Help section.

Sir Andrew, why is that when I use Kris AIACT patch and NLSC roster patch, my game crashes on go to moves?

Or maybe that patch is only for Alby's roster. Please help. Thanks

[Andrew]

The NLSC roster doesn't use a custom aiact.viv file so I can't guarantee that it will be compatible with Kris' update. If it's Albys' roster you're having problems with, please direct any questions you have to him.

[Fluffy Taco]

have you made any new rosters up-to-date with the new rookies and all?

[Andrew]

No, I would release and announce such an update if I had one finished.

[Fluffy Taco]

oh ok. just wondering, since its been a while that you released any rosters. would you think Albys' RR6(or 7, idk just guessing) would be good to go for temporary use?

[Andrew]

I have mentioned that I'm working on updates for 08, 07 and 06 before, I'm guessing you must have missed that though. If you'd like to play with the rookies right now by all means check out one of the other updates that's available.

[syrdax]

First, thank you for sharing your excellent work.
So far I've tried Albys' Realistic NBA Live 08 Roster Patch but playing Dynasty game crashed at the end of first quarter, every time. So after a new fresh install, new game, new everything, without patches, the game works nice, but after installed NLSC roster the crashes after finished the second quarter. Tried 2 games with the same result, quarter ends, players start to walk off and CTD. Same that happened with first patch but this time is in second quarter.
Any idea what's going on?
Thanks.

[Andrew]

No idea sorry, I've tested the rosters and haven't experienced any crashes.

[syrdax]

Well, after re-installing the game 2 times, things are working perfectly ^^
So, now, if I install Alby's Realistic rosters over yours, will be no problems?

Thanks!

[Andrew]

No problems as far as I'm aware.

[Kurisu]

Sir Andrew, are there any patch that can minimize superstar domination in your roster patch? Thanks

[Andrew]

Possibly one of the custom aiact.viv files, though I can't guarantee they'll all be 100% compatible.

Here is my suggestions about ratings. Maybe some of them are already fixed in upcoming v.1.07, but here is list of ratings which is really needed to be better(realistic) -

Mike Bibby shooting ratings in v.1.06 are too high, his FG percentage has been low in last couple of seasons so I suggest you to lower his FG rating to 76 and 3pt rating to 79.

Rajon Rondo - speed, dribbling and quickness should be 90+ and passing 80+. This dude is very fast and quick and also great passer!

Leon Powe - dunking should be 75+, strength 75+, jumping 70+, off aware 65+.

Luol Deng - his 3pt rating should be 50-55. He doesn't shot much, but percentage is very good(last season).

Larry Hughes - Hardiness should be 50- in every season he is injured. Also with all these injuries he now is a lot slower in offense - speed and quickness should be around 75, jump around 70 and off aware around 75. He still is great defender, but not so good(85). I suggest 80.

Daniel Gibson - He is fantastic 3pt shooter(44% from three point line las season). His 3pt rating should be 85+. But he really have problems with passing, lower his passing rating to around 58. Steal rating also is too high(74) he only have 0.8 steals last season and 0.6 in his carreer. I suggest you to lower this rating to around 60.

Dirk Nowitzki - His 3pt rating is too high(88) 82-84 should be better. He is great shooter, but not so good.

Eddie Jones - Almost every rating should be lower. Sad, but Jones is really regresed is last couple of seasons. Take another look to his ratings.

Jamaal Magloire - Very overrated(like Eddie Jones). Injuries are really but him down. Please take another look with his ratings.

Anthony Carter - He is not so worst. FG and exspecially 3pt rating should be a lot higher. He is also not so bad in deffense, his def. aware rating should be around 60.

Eduardo Najera - He shot the ball very well in last seasons. 3pt and FG ratings should be around 70(look at his percentage in the last season).

Nene - hardiness should be lower then 50, he really have a lot injuries in his carreer.

Rodney Stuckey - off aware should be around 70(played very well in the playoffs)

Lindsey Hunter - Now he is third PG for Pistons(Stuckey is second). Shooting ratings should be lower and also he is much slower in offense(decrease speed, quickness and dribbling ratings for him).

Monta Ellis - He is one of the fastest guys in the NBA. Speed, quickness and dribbling ratings should be 95+.

Andris Biedrins - really progressed with his dribbling, this rating should be around 55 for him.

Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming - for both decrease the hardiness rating, they have been injured many times in their carreers.

Steve Francis - hardiness should be lower then 40. I don't know if he will play for the rockets next season. Dunk rating should be 45-50, jump rating around 60, speed, dribbling, quickness around 75, off aware around 70. It's impossible to him to bet back in same form as some years ago, injuries is really hurt him.

Elton Brand - hardy around 60(also has been injured several times in his carrer)

Kwame Brown - Dunk rating should be around 70, speed, quickness around 60.

Ricky Davis - terrible in defense, his def aware should 45-50.

Antoine Walker - Take another look with his ratings, he is really regressed in last seasons.

Craig Smith - take another look with his ratings, he showed big progress last season!

Josh Boone - Show big progress in last season, please update his ratings.

Stephon Marbury - hardy around 50, passing around 78, speed, quickness around 85, off aware around 80, strength around 60.

Brandon Roy - FG rating - more then 80, 3pt around 75, off aware 85, def.reb. 55, jump and dunk around 75, he can dunk and jump very well.

Lamarcus Aldridge - hardy around 75, off aware 80.

Raef Lafrentz - don't know what to do with him, but he deffinelty aren't so good(doesn't played much in last seasons).

Kevin Durant - dunk rating should be 80(he can dunk very well and with big power).

Deron Williams - one of the greatest PG's in the league today. FG and 3pt ratings should be little bit higher, dunk around 65(he almost dunk over yao in olympics!!), he is fantastic ball handler - dribbling should be 95+, also he is faster so speed and quickness should be 90+. He is wonderful passer so passing 90+. Def.reb. should around 45.

Gilbert Arenas - decrease hardy to 60 and dunking to 55.



Hope I help you!

[Andrew]

Thanks, I'll take another look at those players.

[Spotlight]

That's great!

[krav3n]

Does this patch change the team rating too? I checked if Celtics would have a higher rating but it seems that it didn't change...

[Andrew]

Team ratings are calculated according to the players on their roster. I don't boost or lower player ratings so that their overall or the team overall looks better because then you end up with wildly inaccurate individual ratings and they are far more important than the overall ratings.

[krav3n]

I see... I understands. Thanks!

hello Andrew

I have noticed an issue when I replace seattle by OKC in teams.dbf.

Once done, if you play dynasty mode, OKC gets Orlando rookie pics, Philly gets Phoenix's ....

I do not know if you tried this substitution in you next roster but could you have a look at this issue ?

thanks

[Andrew]

I've already updated the Sonics to be the Oklahoma City Thunder ready for the next update and haven't encountered any issues so I'm not sure what might have happened when you tried it.
