Actually, I do keep up with the NBA statistics and standings. Which players do you suggest improvement in? Rather than just saying I need to improve things, it would be much more helpful if you could offer some more specific suggestions and corrections.

Please note that the simulation engine still needs some work, so players don't always average realistic statistics - that's something I can't really fix as far as I'm aware. However, it's better than the days of Dstats when 38 year old players still put up the same numbers as they did in their prime.

I mean players like marion that he his third in the boards
he is in top 10 in the block
he is third in the steal

theirs a lot of players i would try to tell as much as i can...

If I can improve the ratings for simulated performance without making him play unrealistically in gameplay, I will. In the meantime, if you have any more specific suggestion for players just let me know.

9) Pape Sow #9 (TOR)

For roster update (up to 9 Apr)
1) James Thomas is signed by Hawks for the rest of season
2) Omar Cook is signed by Raptors to 10-day contract.

Thanks for the jersey corrections Tatho, unfortunately I noticed Big Dog's new number about an hour after the release.

Sun Apr 10, 2005 8:15 pm

Great patch Andrew!

here's another jersey number update:
Obinna Ekezie #54(ATL)

andrew,i ve got nba live 2005 for 5 days..i am using your roster and your sliders....
Thankx for all,,great!

Brendan Haywood: 56% from the field and although he has a poor jumper, he has developed a couple nice go to moves in the post (baby hook). Up FG to 54 (he cannot hit anything w/a 44 FG), inside scoring to 84. DAware to 70.

On the other hand, Etan Thomas deserves a FG around 45.

Lionel Chalmers (LAC) is very quick. Quick to 80.

Troy Bell has a fairly good jumper. Merits a 67 FG. Inside scoring down to 50. Ball handling to 64. Also played several (I believe all 4) years of college ball, so fatigue isn't an issue. Up that to 42.

Sweet, thanks FOA. (Y)

Superstars who also make super layups deserve better INSC,I think.
If you make LJ 75、T-MAC 74、Parker 70,
I think some other players should be fixed:
Gordon 66;Melo 75;B-Davis 66;Maggette 73;KB 79;WADE 75;VC 70;
Crawford 63;Marbury 68;Francis 65;AI 72;Marion 78;Bobby 68;Manu 74;
Ray 62;Arenas 64;Hughes 64.

Speaking of Ben's inside game, might want to give Ben Gordon a much higher STR rating than 55. He came into the L bench pressing 300.

For rookie comparison, Dwight Howard came into the L bench pressing 185, he's up to 300 now.

Re: v1.10 released...

Tue Apr 19, 2005 12:14 pm

:o :cool:

andrew, im new here, just want to know where is the latest text roster available, we need that, the console users need that and waiting for it... thnx

Tue Apr 19, 2005 12:21 pm

Unfortunately I'm no longer releasing text roster updates. Sorry.

Wed Apr 20, 2005 10:48 am

but why? we are console users, we badly needed that!!!

Wed Apr 20, 2005 12:05 pm

Because updating the roster is something I do for free in my spare time and the text updates really weren't that popular.

Wed Apr 20, 2005 1:59 pm

that's popular in our country, you supposed to do it for the people like us, please andrew, we need that...

just because were not pc users and we are console?!

please...
thnx...

I'm sorry, but again I'm not getting paid to do this, it's something I do in my free time so I don't see how I'm "supposed" to do it. I don't usually maintain a text roster, this is the first year I've provided one. Sorry, but I'm not doing the text roster updates anymore.

All you need to do is download the PC roster update, open players.dbf with MS Excel and look at the ratings. Or, if you want to order it how I did in the text roster, open it with Access and sort ascending by TEAM and ROSTERPOS.

Andrew,Can you do these updates in 1.11 :?: :?: :?:

Wed Apr 20, 2005 5:32 pm

No need to post them twice; I'll consider them as with all suggestions posted here.

Wed Apr 20, 2005 6:13 pm

I'd like to promote th idea of drastically lowering LeBrons dunking rating. With Inside Ticket free, I've seen more of him than I usually do, and I think that his dunks are based on athleticisism rather than pure skill.

Dunking - 79-83
Jumping - 97-98

Wed Apr 20, 2005 7:12 pm

Well... real NBA season is almost over, primarily i want to ask when NSLC v 1.11 will be release. And i want to give you some advices about NBA REAL LIFE: G.Arenas is just 77 ovrl i think this guy must be 82-85 ovrl just like S.Marbury 85ovrl..., S.Jackson worth better ovrl than 66 he is almost absolute Indiana leader, an average ~19pts, 5rebs. K.Korver need raise up ovrl from 56 to ~60. J.Przybila FG rnk is just 45 he deserve better.. and better blocking rating. K.McLeod and C.Duhon must be more quicker and deserve better FG rating... And i think need adjust New Orleans players ratings..

Wed Apr 20, 2005 7:19 pm

Sorry, I don't boost ratings simply to adjust the overall, though I can review those players' ratings. v1.11 will be the playoff opening night release, so it will be just around the start of round one (so probably this weekend).

Thanks Joéb, I agree. I'll change his dunk rating in v1.11.

Wed Apr 20, 2005 7:47 pm

Well ok thks for info, i `ll be very grateful if you review those players ratings and maybe a little bit fix :) (Y)

Wed Apr 20, 2005 10:22 pm

Another thing I just thought of.

How come T-mac has a steal-ability of 66, and Wade of 76 when T-mac averages 1.7SPG and Wade 1.6SPG?

Sure that he (T-mac) has two more games played, but does it warrant a 10point differance?
Maybe also raise his passing ability (or offensive awareness?) does to his assist-to-TO ratio.

Some suggestions, dunno if they're relevant though.
