Teams and players

[DeathsyctheHe11]

How do you change the Teams Total Points, Feild Goal %, 3 pt % stuff like that? Iwent to Teams.dbf Editing link but it dont tell.

Also for the players? How u change the ppg. rpg spg stuff like? I also went to the players.dbf Editing link.

This is for every player and team.

To change a player's averages in Franchise/Season mode, you must edit the DSTATS (Development Stats). These are found at the far right of players.dbf. They are documented in the Editing Guide.

There are no DSTATS for teams, and their rankings/ratings depend on the players on their roster.

[DeathsyctheHe11]

so how you change the dstats for the players? Could explain it in a simpler way?

[Andrew]

There are two ways:

1. Using DB Commander or another DBF editor, change the fields in the players.dbf file. The Editing Guide lists which fields correspond to which statistic.

2. Using the NBA Live 2001 Toolkit, edit the stats under the "Development Stats" tab.

Method 2 is easier because it's using a GUI, but if you don't have MS Access 97/2000, you can't use the Toolkit.

Hey, Andrew, I'm changing the Dstats to this year's, would you like me to send them to you when i finish?

[Andrew]

Are you editing the latest version of the NLSC roster update (v4.11), and have you changed any other ratings or elements of the rosters?

[carlos]

No, I've only changed the DSTATS from the latest roster update. I haven't changed any rating or player, I swear

[Andrew]

Well, as long as nothing's changed except the DSTATS, I'd be only too happy to use it for future versions of the roster patch. You would of course get credit for updating the DSTATS.
