Talk about NBA Live 08 here.
Tue Oct 22, 2013 8:33 am
I own NBA Live 08 on Windows 7 and I'm making a new schedule for the 2013/2014 season. I downloaded the DB Commander 2000 PRO to edit the default season schedule and make a more accurate schedule with the right date, time plus home and away teams. Entering each game detail is taking me a long time to finish and I'm wondering if there is a faster way to enter the info in a Microsoft Office: Excel spreadsheet and upload the data to the same file? Or if there is another way of adding the new data. This is my first time using the DB Commander for NBA Live 08.

You can use Excel (as well as Calc from OpenOffice) to open and edit DBF files. You just need to make sure that you save the file in DBF format (DBASE IV), otherwise the game won't be able to recognise it and you'll get a Codebase Error.

Dug around in some old notes, here's an overview of the schedule dbf file:
DELETED: Standard column, all values set to True this time
TYPE: Seems like the standard value is 0 or blank
SPECIAL: Can be left at 0 as well
ID: Standard ID field, except they'd appear to be out of order
PERIOD: Can be left at 0
DATE: Date in YYYYMMDD format (eg November 13th, 2005 = 20051113)
TIME: Time of game in 24 hour format (eg 7:30 = 1930)
LOCATION: Seems to be all zeroes, I'm guessing that means it will just grab the home team's location as specified in location.dbf
PLAYED: Game has been played in season, True/False
OVERTIME: Game went into Overtime, True/False
TEAMHOME: The home team, refer to the Team IDs guide
TEAMAWAY: The away team, refer to the Team IDs guide
SCOREHOME: The home team's score. Leave at 0 for the default schedule file
SCOREAWAY: The away team's score. Leave at 0 for the default schedule file

Is there a faster way of entering the teams, location, date, and home/away teams a lot quicker? Instead of one by one.

Not as far as I'm aware. It's one of the reasons I'm not inclined to tackle the challenge of creating a schedule update; rosters have been time consuming enough in years gone by.

Either it doesn't like the dates you've used or there's a conflict somewhere.
