08-09 Latest Rosters Patch...

[jforward5]

This is the early beta release of the rosters I am working on for Live 05. there are alot of things still to be fixed in the roster so keep checking back and i will keep making adjustments.

Currently I have the ratings done for all teams from Atlanta to the Clippers. I do not however have the correct skin color, height, weight, and in some cases experience for all of the players. I also have not completed the logical starting lineups as of yet.

Keep in mind also that since most of the rookies and newest aquisitions to teams still do not have real life numbers assigned to them, so I have just chosen, in most cases, random numbers for them.

My rosters ratings are based on stats. I examine the STATS for each and every player individually and make adjustments to their ratings based on what I feel the ratings should be. I know my ratings are not perfect, but I feel that they are, as a team, as close to the real life thing. In my opinion right now the celtics are rated 99. I also feel that the rockets are 99 based on the trade moves and rookie aquisitions they have made. all other teams should fall behind these. Also you should feel challenged when you play games against any team.

These are all things I am trying to take into account while making my roster patch. So if you see a player with a lower rating than you are used to I suggest playing with his team and seeing if he plays close to his real life counter part. If he is a rebounder, does he rebound enough? If he is a scorer, does he score enough? One of the things I notice about most rosters I have played in the past the ratings for things such as Defense and offense are inflated to make a roster harder or more challenging. I feel that this is not necessary. If a team is a scrub in real life i think they should perform like one in the game. If a player sucks at defense, he should suck in the game at defense.

With all these things being stated here is my beta version of the teams Atlanta-Clippers. Since this is just the beta please be awaiting the completed roster soon!!

Enjoy!! http://rapidshare.com/files/141203098/Rosters.zip.html

Here comes the next beta! Still no heights, weights, or skin colors, but I have done all ratings on teams Atlanta through Orlando. Only 10 more to go on making the ratings, then im going to work on the heights, weights, and skin colors. After which I will try to insert some cyber-faces from some of the older patches.

So here is the next beta....

Enjoy!!

9/5/08

Here is the completed ratings part of my roster. Stay tuned for the complete roster including correct heights, weights, and some cyber faces from previous roster releases. I do not know how to make fake cyberfaces so players without faces will just remain created players. if someone wants to make faces for the rookies or wants to make fake faces for this roster feel free to do so. Just let me have them too .

Enjoy this and probably by next weekend or sooner i will have all of the remaining tasks for this roster completed!!!

9/6/08

Here is the final beta version with all players height, weight and skin colors. I will however try to get the cyberfaces i have to work with this roster. I will be fine tuning some of the team ratings since a few of the teams like Portland (LOL) are not quite what i think they should be.

Enjoy this one!!
I left out a few players that I will probably add into the final version of this roster. I didn't add hair styles to the created players, I want to see how the cyberfaces work on them first...Maybe that will cover hair style....

You better don't put the bite on him He might have some other things to do than patching NBA Live 05. Be patient.

Maybe he says "It's done when it's done", who knows.

You are right Wohngebietsuwe I have a day job as an IT/Computer Programming Professional for an industrial supply company. But I love NBA Live and at one time had the hottest Live league on the net, before all the copycats came along. I started the very first 82 game season league ever. I want to do it again but this time I want to make it have something no other league has and also possibly make it a pay league with prizes and stuff like sports tickets or other stuff. It is a small dream of mine...lol

I didn't meant that I was just asking if are do progress.
I just don't want to be this fell dead

[jforward5]

No harm done Emor. I won't let this die. It just takes some time to do is all.

[jforward5]

Well guys I noticed while I was checking my cyberface additions to the game that the editor I used did not put the correct heights/weights on the correct players. So I had to unmark the players as created and use the game to make their heights and weights. And their colors didn't stick either. How can I do these three things through dbf editing? Which file holds their color height and weight?

[jforward5]

Ok so I found what I need to do. I am editing the appearance.dbf file to make the changes.

What is making it so easy for you? I made shooting harder as well as defense. What adjustments would make it more challenging?

[Leander]

I think he means that his game crashes in dynasty mode.

[jforward5]

i doubt it. since i have not included faces yet. All I have done thus far is the ratings. however right now i am trying to get the skin colors and heights and weights right but am having some difficulties. I am not sure what to use to fix the problem. I tried the DB Commander 2000, but it doesn't let me save my changes. I need a way of making the skin colors and assigning the cyber faces since excel seems to corrupt the dbf files.

Also please clearify parobek, is the game crashing or is it that you think it is too easy?

[GuCcI08]

to save ur changes go to option and click on save settings on exit.

[parobek]

sorry about my english, my game crashing in dynasty mode

[Wohngebietsuwe]

Does this happen when you're starting your very first game (loading screen) oder during post season? Tell us at which point it crashes.

I had a crash while loading a game against the Charlotte Bobcats - the reason was a messed up cyberface of a selfbuilt Bobcat's player (I'm using another roster patch a.t.m.). I deleted the appropiate player-files in the sgsm subfolder and everything was fine.

[jforward5]

Due to the hurricane Ike that hit us here in houston I am not sure exactly when i will be finishing my roster patch. I have been working on it when I can, so be patient and eventually I will have a completed version.

[jonthefon]

Dealing with that nasty hurricane's more important than this roster patch. Good luck.

samutei released a compilation of rookie CFs, which I plan to convert soon, but I don't think the headshapes will be perfect.

my live crashes, when i want to start a new dynasty. it crashes during trainingcamp.

- Do you use a cracked (No-CD) exe w/o the original game CD?
- Does this error occur with standard rosters, too?

In addition, jforward said that this is not the final release already. Maybe you should try an older roster patch from the forums (like me: http://www.nbaliveforums.com/viewtopic. ... 967#961967)

[jonthefon]

Live crashing during training camp occurs if the roster being used uses Number as its field data type for "RECOVRDATE". It needs to be changed to text (I think) for dynasty to work. It's a real bitch, I know, but that's how the cookie crumbles.
