Awesome!
Nice work, Andrew,

By the way, is this roster the one on the TUP MOD?

[Andrew]

Not this one in particular but I believe they've been working from an earlier version of the NLSC update.

Sir Andrew I have a question: Why you not are using sight shots and go to moves in your roster's

[Andrew]

I am using some, I just haven't done any extensive editing in that area for a couple of reasons. One, it's hard to get the motivation to do much with NBA Live 08 PC as it was such a sloppy release (the only reason I'm doing any updates for 08 at all is because the demand is still there) but also Two, I'm currently working on four seperate roster updates simultaneously and while I've found ways of streamlining that it's still reasonably time consuming. It's something I'm keeping in mind, perhaps I'll be able to do something with it now I've got the updates for 2005-08 under control and the offseason looming in a couple of months but right now I'm starting to feel a little burned out on the rosters again so I can't invest the time to go through the sig shots/go to moves right now.

[Divaco]

Yes, you have reason, I understand you

[Andrew]

But again having said that, it's certainly still under consideration and if/when the opportunity arises I'll revisit the possibility of doing that. With the system I have in place and the stable releases I have to work from, I'm hoping I'll be able to go back over some of the finer details like that.

much difference in players' stats from 2.8?

[Andrew]

No, v2.9 is mostly just a roster/lineup update.

You could look at here Divaco

Its a batch file by Statfan and it was credited to all the patchmakers who worked on the sig shots
and its for NLSC too
it was found on the NBA Live 09TUP HQ thread

[Andrew]

I'd say that's definitely worth trying out in the meantime.

[TheOriginalCandyMan]

Hey Andrew can you add some of the special jerseys like the NBA Green Week and the Latin Nights jerseys to the roster update
Also you're missing the Charlotte alternative
Nice roster patch though....Although I have not played through all the teams yet, but I havent found any bugs so far

[jokyu]

excellent work on the roster thanks

[dopeboy]

Have you changed primacy ratings? If so, could you upload just primacy fix, please?

I don't have those updates for 08 but they're easy enough for me to add if they're made available to me.

If you've got v2.8, the values in the Primacy Fix have gone unchanged except that Chris Hunter has been added to the roster and thus the batch file (Primacy of 20, PLAYERPKG of CHHUNTE). Everyone else is the same though.

[TheOriginalCandyMan]

sry the double post but do you think the batch file also works with other aiacts or no?

[ShadGregoryMoss]

Which Roster Update is compatible with AIACT files ?

[Andrew]

I must've made a typo when I was editing the teamgear. If you want to change it yourself in the meantime, open teamgear.dbf and look for the first entry for TEAM 26 and change the AUTOCOLOR field to 14343898.

sry the double post but do you think the batch file also works with other aiacts or no?

You mean the one that modifies the sig shot and go to move fields? It probably isn't suitable for all aiact.viv files but I'm not sure as I didn't have a hand in creating it or any of the custom aiact.viv files, sorry.

Thanks Andrew for the info
I'm going to test out Nigu's and Kris's aiact if they are compatible with the roster and the batch file
Just for fun, have you used the batch yet? LOL

[Andrew]

Not yet, with the new rosters out I've had to turn my attention to some other things (including some stuff away from the NLSC) but I'll check it out at some point.

[TheOriginalCandyMan]

I just checked out the Nigu aiact from the Alby's RR8 and it fits perfectly with the sigshots and go to moves
No crashes, nothing wrong so far
BTW, i have started to update the hot spots of current NBA players
Is it ok I release the players.dbf of your roster update later in like 2 to 3 weeks or so Andrew?

[TheOriginalCandyMan]

ok I also tested Kris's aiact and it worked too
I prefer this aiact over Nigu's.....You guys will love these aiacts

[Andrew]

That would be fine, but if you send it along I could certainly look at importing the data into the main roster package. It's a time consuming task so I'd certainly appreciate someone helping me out there, I'd of course give you credit in the release notes.

Well thanks Andrew
I wish I knew how to make a batch file LOL that would be so cool
