as far as all-star line-ups in dynasty...i believe if u tinker with it u will get a crash about 99% (if not 100%) of the time...Andrew should chime on this with a more concrete answer

but it would have to do with editing the players.dbf in ur dynasty save....just make sure u have a backup
(east teamid is 30 and west is 31)

as far as the other events, i believe it is impossible (in dynasty)

for the reason being that when i updated the line ups (NOT in dynasty) i had to do it by changing the playerid's of different players
...the way it works is that the game has a preset mapping of certain playerid's to go with these line ups

ex.
lets say shooter 1's playerid is 1000
lets say the player with playerid 1000 is Kobe Bryant
and u wanted to make shooter 1 LeBron James (playerid 1001)

you would have to go into the players.dbf and switch their playerids
so it would looks like this:
before
Kobe Bryant - 1000
LeBron James - 1001
shooter 1 is Kobe Bryant

after
Kobe Bryant - 1001
LeBron James - 1000
shooter 1 is LeBron James

Thanks for the info KidJustin! (Y) By the way, in what column should I search for the value of 30 or 31? Because when I searched for it in the team column, I don't see any 30 or 31 value. And I already entered the All-Star Weekend. :D

Thank you for the immediate reply! (Y) But I already search for it in the "TEAM" column, I still don't see "30 or 31" value. Moreover, I would like to ask at what particular time in the dynasty where these values came about? Is it before you get e-mails that your player as selected in the All-Star Game or is it in the All-Star Weekend? Thanks! :bowdown: :D

If it's possible, the process would be the same as editing the All-Stars in a roster. However, you'd need to wait for the game to generate the All-Stars first, which it should've done by the time you reach the All-Star Weekend. If you can't find any players assigned to teams 30 and 31 in your Dynasty save when you're up to the All-Star Weekend, then I'm not sure what to suggest. I must admit I've never tried it (I'll have to give it a go at some point so I can give a more definitive answer to this question) but I'm inclined to agree with KidJustin that there's a good chance it'll crash or the game or there'll at least be a very small margin for error. The databases can be temperamental at times.
