Team Limits

[mervie16]

Hi guys, I just want to ask if there is a limit on how many teams can you add in nba 08. If there is, how many can ba nba teams, adiddas team and fiba team?

I'm not sure if there is a limit. I suppose one of these days, one of us will need to try adding as many as possible, then documenting them.

Until then, you can certainly try doing it yourself. If you get to the point where the game crashes, then you'll know a limit has been hit. Since you can safely delete row in teams.dbf and thus remove teams, you could remove the team(s) that put you over the limit...if there is one.

I tried to add two teams as an adiddas team. The team numbers are 80 and 81. Whenever i try to play the teams i added against the other it crashes. But if one of them is playing against one of the team which has a team number from 0 to 79 it does not crash.

That means there's a required database entry or art file missing.

[mervie16]

Is that so? Thanks for the answer sir andrew. I'll check it later. And I'll also try to add more teams. I guess nba live 08 can handle 90+ teams, not so sure about that but i'll check it.

[Andrew]

Check to make sure you've added a valid location, that's a common one that gets overlooked.

okay sir.
Sir one more thing, when I changed the team numbers of the two teams i added from 80 & 81 to 63 & 64 it does not crash.

This may be old but I just want to let the others know.
I think the limit of teams in 08 are 205. Including retired,referees,generic,legends pool, free agents.
My game crashes when I play the team with an id of 206 & 207. So I deleted it.
My roster now has 185 teams. The teamid reaches 205.
I can't make the ids 51-59 to work but Bayag make it. So probably the limit is 205.

[Andrew]

Good to know.

Can I ask the exact opposite, that is what is the minimum of teams needed???

[Andrew]

For all modes to work properly: 30 NBA teams, the East and West All-Stars, eight FIBA teams, and the Rookie and Sophomore teams.
