- Extract Database to My Documents/NBA Live 08 folder
- Extract DemoRosterv1 to your saves folder
- Extract tuning, merlin & simeng to your main game folder in your program files
- Do the same above with the AIACT, except copy and paste it in the ai/act folder
- Go back to your main game folder to anim/body
- Extract your Settings.dat to the settings folder (My Documents/NBA Live 08 folder)
- There's an extra players.dbf file so you can overwrite after each time the primacy ratings change
NOTE: MAKE SURE YOU DELETE OR MOVE YOUR CURRENT SETTINGS.DAT BEFORE YOU PUT THE NEW ONE IN OR YOUR GAME WILL CRASH
Changes made:
- Four teams playable on Playoffs roster (Heat, Pacers, Spurs, Thunder)
- Updated AIACT (based off Kris' with some changes), Sliders and playbooks
- Brought animations from 07 to help fix the gameplay such as dunking, walking and running animations, blocking, and passing much improved (no more passing to nowhere)
- Updated Hotspots
- Updated Score Areas
- Updated Dunk Packages
- Improved Primacy Ratings to increase ball movement and determine who get the most touches
- Updated Sigshots, GTM's & GTM SPOTS
- Rosters updated as of 2013/2014 but no rookies; will add them later
- Player Attribures are based off of Rashidi's 2k edits, who uses real statistical data
- OverallRatings are different but they don't really reflect who's the best player on each team
Eg: (Westbrook is a 96 overall due to the fact EA's rating system overrates athletic players and Durant is a 94, but he's obviously more effective)
- Decreased all guards & sf's field goal and 3pt by 20 pts to get rid of the inbound fastbreak glitch
- PF's and C's field goal ratings are not decreased by 20 but their 3PT ratings are
- Outside scorer animations are gone as a result of the FG and 3PT decrease which the game is better off without anyway (All other FSS anims are still there)
- Decreased all jump ratings by 35, except for each team's best leapers
- Steals for all players decreased by 15, except for each team's top 3 ball thieves
- Blocks now set on a scale of 25-99 (helps increase the contested shots and aggressive D)
- Sliders will balance out with each rating change (ex: mid range and 3PT sliders are set at 60 and 65)
- Stamina set on a scale of 1-75
- Rebounding improved
