Poll question: NBA Live 2005 vintage rosters

by **PatTheHead** on Wed Dec 29, 2004 12:34 am

Hi,
I just finished my vintage rosters for NBA Live 2005:
NBA season 1951/52
NBA season 1961/62
NBA season 1966/67
NBA season 1971/72
ABA season 1971/72
NBA season 1984/85
NBA season 1991/92

You can download the patches at the Series Center NBA Live 2005 rosters site or at my homepage: http://www.geocities.com/shawnrespert/N ... sters.html

I created all vintage players with their authentic birthdates as well as "dummy teams". That`s why you are not able to play the patches in "dynasty mode"... you only can play them in "season mode".
Yet many NBA Live fans told me that they would love to play them in "dynasty mode" as well.
Pls give me a few suggestions. Shall I make all the vintage players younger to play with in "dynasty mode"?

You might want to make two versions of the rosters: Exhibition Based and Dynasty Based, the Dynasty version using altered BIRTHDATE information. I don't think there's any workaround for the dummy teams though, since editing the schedule causes problems.

Andrew's idea is good I would personally use both :wink:

thx for reply.
I tried to work on my vintage rosters teams.dbf datas... but something strange happened.
any changes I made ( make players younger, change draftyear, edit years expired etc. ) didn´t change anything. I can`t play my vintage rosters in dynasty mode. :evil:

I checked out the teams.dbf datas, which I once have changed... anything is fine with them.
I guess there is something wrong with my players.dbf datas.
is there anbody out, who can help me handle that problem? can somebody take a closer look on my vintage rosteres players.dbf?
I appreciate your help.

I was gonna wait for the dynasty release to download it but you need help so I'll download it as soon as I can access the site and try to see what is wrong.

ok they are on their way to you.
I hope you can locate that error.

just to let you know:
if you switch with any of the vintage rosters into "dynasty mode" everything is fine.
the CPU starts the training session... but he stops to simulate at the last day of training camp. I don`t know why? :?:

maybe there`s something wrong with the training coach? the players ratings?
pls check out. I wa unlucky locating the error.

I also want you to know which dbf. datas I have worked with:
players.dbf
appearance.dbf
teams.dbf
location.dbf

I checked out the teams.dbf plus the location.dbf datas. they work well if I insert them in other - test - rosters. it´s my opinion everything is fine with them.

I can't even use the rosters you gave me in Dynasty mode. It gets to the last day of Training Camp, stops (like it usually does), but then exits me out of Live and back to my desktop without an error message.

yes that`s near the same error I got.
I don`t know why.

Sorry I've spent a few hours looking and can't find anything (N)
