The Hot Spots are the last columns in players.dbf, which each column representing a different area of the floor. As far as I can tell, the values are standard 0-99 ratings.

You're welcome. A chart of the different areas that the column was posted a while back, I might have it lying around somewhere. Which reminds me, the DBF Guides are long overdue. Still on the To Do list.

Hi Guys,
Andrew, I noticed that many of the Centers have all the hot spots colored in. I interpret this coloring to mean that the center can shoot anywhere. Is there a way to edit the hot spots and have the centers only shoot within the 3 point arc?
Take care,
Jay

Yes, the Hot Spots can be edited in players.dbf as mentioned above.

There's no one players.dbf file. Aside from the ones stored in the database folder, a copy of players.dbf is stored in every saved file as it contains player information. Unless you're specifically needing to edit a saved Dynasty/Season game, you should always work with a saved roster; thus, the players.dbf you'll need to edit will be the one that's in the roster save folder.

The Hot Spots have their own fields. Editing SCOREAREA might help, but if a player has a low THREEPTATT (three point attempt percentage) they won't take many threes, at least in gameplay. With the faulty sim engine, they'll probably still take threes in simulation.

I don't know of any offhand, though you might be able to safely use a spreadsheet/database program. Just be sure to make a backup first in case the dbf file becomes corrupted.
