Frequently Asked Questions
My association mode is crashing when I use NBA365 rosters, why is this?
I'm not totally sure, but it is probably a combination of a few odd factors. Use the association mode mod for that, for now. Expect a new release of the association mod in the third or fourth week of July.

I'm having players show up headless with white arms, help!
Make sure you download everything under the headline "necessary files." Once you do this, you shouldn't have this problem.

Where can I download the rookie faces?
For NBA365 rosters, download "Rookie CFs for NBA365." For Association mode, download "Rookie CFs for Association." When I re-release association mode late in July, you'll only have to have the NBA365 Rookie CFs.

When I make moves inside the roster, sometimes players end up on random teams. How can I fix this?
I believe I fixed this bug earlier in the week when I made all situational lineups have starters only. This likely fixed association mode as well. I don't guarantee anything, however. I make the best effort I can to upload a roster every single day, so just wait and all the moves will be there in less than 24 hours...I don't miss anything!

Why can't you update the association mode now, I want to play!
Because free agency changes the landscape of the NBA immensely every day. Until it calms down in late July and teams have a better idea of what they'll look like next year, I will not release an association mode. My release in late July will begin at the start of the 2013-14 NBA season and will include the 2014 draft classes.
It appears that disconnecting your internet will fix the association bug with the NBA365 roster.

There is a bug in the roster, where do I need to post this?
You can post about bugs in the thread here. If several people have already mentioned the bug, just send me a PM to avoid cluttering the thread and i'll know the problem is widespread.

What are all the different kinds of rosters?
I used the great roster bases of the two major roster makers on NLSC: Medevenx and Alby's. Each roster comes with a blacktop mode "BT" and a regular mode. Each roster also comes with the option to play as the Charlotte Bobcats or the Charlotte Hornets. Make sure you do not play with a "BT" roster in anything other than blacktop mode, as it will crash the game.

Can you add a missing player?
Likely not. I'm not a roster-creator, more of a roster editor. I bring together the best of everything! I'm very hesitant to add players because Medevenx and Alby's use very complicated rating formulas and I prefer their rosters to play as they intended it.

When I try to save the roster file, the game crashes. Why?
Since I've been playing 2K, custom rosters have been notorious for this. Make sure if you make changes to my files and want to save the roster, save it as something different than what the roster is currently named. You can go back and name it something else in Windows Explorer if you'd like. Do not try to overwrite your save file, it will crash your game and you will lose your changes.

So, no interest? I've heard nothing from Med and this is a pretty extensive project for somebody who likes realism in association mode. The project is also totally complete now.

Ah, oh well.

[gringo5]

i just noticed this know & im surprised there isnt anybody supporting this project well if im the only one that supports it so be it this looks awesome . if u dont release it, even if it is to me only, that'll suck but i'd understand

[lakers92]

I'm working on game highs now. I really want to hear from Med so I can let this cat out of the bag!

I had a bad feeling this would not be very popular on a more art focused board like NLSC. It probably would've gone over better on OperationSports.

no, no, no! Very cool project!

[SC1211]

Very interested!!

[RMJH13]

Looks a great project here. I dont have time to get involved running a team tho. How did you get the pelicans logo to show up on the draft board? i cant get the large png file to overwrite the small one. did you just resize and overwrite it?

[johnbuckeyefan]

this looks great man!

I based it off the logos given in Med's v1.0d. I did have to change the Hornets logo, however. All I did was go into all 4 sizes of logos.iff and change it there, then change out the logo.iff and everything seems to be working just fine.

I've updated all the game highs to reflect the 2012-13 season. Can anyone else think of anything I need to do to bring the game up to date?

[johnbuckeyefan]

accurate injuries going into next year? like maybe Rondo is questionable to start the season for example

[lakers92]

Great idea! Maybe somebody can send me a list of these with the injury type and length of injury before I decide to compile it myself

The only bad things about injuries are making judgment calls. As a Lakers fan, I fully expect Kobe to be back for Game 1 in October. However, I know that's about as likely as Mike D losing his job. We'll see though.

[john.nyse]

man really nice project keep going

[lakers92]

Changed heights and weights to NBA.com listed heights and weights -- just like I do for every roster.

[Rosque]

I WANT THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

[lakers92]

I WANT THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

Well find Med! I want to release it.

Also just updated portraits. If anyone knows how to add Akognon and Willie Reed to the portrait file, I have the .DDS files. I'm just not very good at this kind of thing.

[jedvillainy]

Yes been waiting for a project like this to arise! cannot wait!

[lakers92]

Updated the OP with a little bit more info about what's included in the project, and also to beg nicely for some of you to make faces for my graphically challenged self

[ShowBiz]

Good stuff man. Looking forward to the release.

[pether_10]

Well as we all know, Med is busy on his enrollment in school. Try to have a little patient. He'll respond soon.

[ste001]

Looking towards this one.

[Gigabyte]

Promising. Can't believe you actually took the time to do all of this. Great job, bro.

[Medevenx]

Great job! This is going to be amazing! But I'm planning on releasing a v1.1 sometime soon. I would very much like to collaborate with you on working on the new version! I hope to get it released along with your patch included if that's ok?

[lakers92]

Fine with me. Would you be okay me releasing a prototype version with your v1.0d so people can start playing with it and find bugs? The draft is coming up in a month and I wanted to give people some time to play with it and find out what works and what doesn't, just in case.

If you keep all the players in your v1.1 in the same ID spots as v1.0d, integration of these two mods should be relatively seamless. All I'd have to do is copy-paste the skills, tendencies & hotspots straight down the list from v1.1 and the project would be complete.

I just thought about it, but I may have overwritten some player stats in the player stats tab that belonged to the classic players. While this isn't a big deal to me (classic players aren't in the association), it might be a big deal to your players who like playing with the classic rosters. Maybe you could release a v1.1 with just the 30 NBA teams (with updated stats and whatnot), and then a v1.1 with the classic teams?

Look forward to working together on the best roster project ever. Cheers

[Medevenx]

I'd be okay with you releasing a v1.0d Assoc patch.

However, I don't want to add another ROS file to the patch because 3 is already enough. I think it would be best for the patch for you to release it separately and I'll have it linked here in my next update.

[Rosque]

Do you plan on releasing this as roster file or association file?
