Adding another player in Rookies/Sophomore. HELP

[mr.X]

Why is it when i add a player on rookies or sophomore it crashes when i play it ? how can i add a new player in that team without crashing ? i tried dbf editing and still it doesn't work

There's no way to possibly answer that question without more information about what you've done. You've said you've edited those teams through DBF editing, which is what you must do, but there's plenty of things you can forget to do or do incorrectly during that process. If you post exactly what you did, then it might be possible to pinpoint where the problem is.

Ok
I made a player then i want it to become a rookie or a sophomore i want that player to join that team but when i tried using the NBA Live 08 Editor and i change the Rookie team in the tab TEAMS then i click on the Rookies and change its Classification from Rookies/Sophomores to NBA Team so I can add my player to the team using the right click Add to Team 1/ Team 2. Then after I add it successfully I change the classification of the Rookies from NBA Team to Rookies/Sophomores then I save it. Lastly I opened my NBA Live 08 then load my save game file then go to the All Star Weekend and play the rookie challenge then i choose the Rookies as my team and i saw my player on the line up but when i start the game and it goes loading after that it crashes i see the Dont Send and Send Report.
So how can I add my player in the Rookies Team without getting crash

If the Editor isn't working, you can try the old fashioned way:

Instead of 30 and 31 (East and West All-Stars), use 44 and 45 (Rookies and Sophomores).

yeah i tried it , thats the one i'm talking about using the dbf editing i change its team for 44 and when i play it, it doesn't work. I have a question do you edit the jersey of rookies and sophomore ? i mean i think jersey is the problem. is it by default to have different away/home jersey ? because when i tried making a team and i didnt put any jersey it randomly pick in any jersey of the nba teams.

In your previous post, you said you were using the NBA Live 08 Editor. That method I posted does not utilise the NBA Live 08 Editor.

The Rookie and Sophomore teams don't have a jersey. That's why you leave the ORIGTEAM field the same as the player's NBA team, so that they wear the correct jersey.

oh ! you put the team that you want to have the jersey in orig team ? ex. 14 for miami heat then in team 44 ? i think thats my mistake cause i put 44 on both Thanks a lot Andrew !

That's right. Adding the ID of the Rookie and Sophomore teams in ORIGTEAM will point to a non-existent jersey, so it does sound like that's the reason for the crash.
