Yes finally, Thanks ALOT Alexboom. Can't wait for the full one.

Thanks for your efforts. Looking forward to the upcoming roster patch!

Thank you.But when will it come out exactly?

I can't give you a precise date, sorry

Wow i appreciate your work alexboom, my waiting will pay off soon.

Thanks Alex. Your work on these rosters is greatly appreciated.

Exellent. I hope you release it soon, I'm probably going to be getting NBA live '06 later on in the year so hopefully this patch will keep my entertained for the time being.

Wow, looks very nice! I can't wait for the finished product.

yeh i cant wait to, i got nba 06 on x box but i got nba 04 on comp, so maybe i can take some in game pics for my dynasty

Looking forward to your work!

and of course theres a trade today that changes everything - whos starting at PF for no now? david west or lampe?

Of course the roster will include the latest trades... I'd be more willing to start West as he seems more ready. Though the first games of the season will tell us who's really starting, and I may correct it for the following update.

By the way, I'm currently creating the rookies. this is almost the last thing to do before I release the roster (I also need to update the salaries but it won't take me long). But creating rookies in Live 2004 is a real pain between the lack of generic cyberfaces and the ratings sorted in no logic way. So feel free to help by suggesting some ratings and appearances for the rookies. The more you help the quicker the roster will be released

Well I'm doing the rookies for Live 03...check out nbadraft.net for all the info you need. I can't give you ratings since it's Live 04 but nbadraft.net pretty much tells you everything.

Thanks kid, but I already gathered nbadraft.net profiles a long time ago (for the Live 2000 roster) It seems a bit obvious for a roster maker, doesn't it?

You never know. Any other help that you might need?

what the hell? Nbadraft.net is absolutely terrible. They've compared DeShawn Stevenson to Michael Jordan and Eddie Griffin to Tim Duncan..... Talk about inaccuracy.

Their site also looks like it's been made by a 14 year old just learning how to use HTML.

Those are just bad examples. It gets the job the done.

Martell Webster looks to have a shot at starting this year for portland. I think he has great quickness. Also - andrew bogut looks to me like the 2nd coming of Danny Schayes (who has a very hot wife by the way).

Granger looks like a solid slasher, and korolev looks amazing in all catagories except outside shooting.
Deron Williams just seems too slow to be a good NBA PG, mccants, on the other hand, should play great next to kareem rush once he gains a starting position in charlotte

McCants doesn't play for Charlotte.

heh - in that case I meant felton

alexbloom around when is the patch going to come out

He is working on the rookies so give him sometime. Rookies take alot of work and time be patient.

Thanks a lot Alex. Now we finally can enjoy this new season in the NBA Live 2004. Like everyone here, I also can't wait for the full version.

Updated starting 5 of every teams... still a lot of players to be created
