Score Area

I remember reading a post back in the old forum for NBA Live 2000, talking about the characteristics of each score area, but i can't remember them.
I want to change some players score area coz they don't play like they do in real life, eg. reggie miller and allan houston are just driving to the basket everytime and KG is taking 3 pointers the whole game.
Could someone please post them again if they know what each score area is?
thanks in advance

I happened to save those 2 messages from the old forum so I could keep looking back at it. Here they are:

I'm just gonna add to what Dastar said. I did a little investigating on this and here's what I found (I examined these ratings for all the players):

1 - These are outside/3 pt. shooters. Some examples of players with Scorearea 1 are:

Dale Ellis, Larry Bird, Glen Rice, Dennis Scott

2 - Players with this rating seem to be typical point guards that can hit the outside jumper.

John Stockton, Derek Fisher, Greg Anthony

3 - These are dominant, inside power forwards and centers.

Shaq, Patrick Ewing, Shawn Kemp, Wilt Chamberlain

4 - These next two are trickier. I believe 4 is for low-scoring centers who have no outside shot.

Eric Montross, Greg Ostertag, Oliver Miller

5 - These (I believe) are centers and power forwards that can hit the midrange jumper once in awhile.

Danny Ferry, Pete Chilcutt, Bill Wennington

6 - These seem to be players that are primarily slashers to the basket.

Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant, Grant Hill, Jerry West

7- From what I can tell, these are complete offensive players. I say this just because of the group of players that have this rating. A player with this rating is a threat to score from almost anywhere.

Michael Jordan, Glen Robinson, Tim Duncan, Vince Carter

8 - These seem to be mostly point guards that are real offensive threats.

Gary Payton, Jason Kidd, Magic Johnson

9 - These next two(like 4 & 5) I am unsure about. I believe 9 is for the typical power forward who can hit from midrange.

Karl Malone, Luc Longley, Rasheed Wallace

10 - I agree with Dastar. I think this is for big guys that have the outside jumper and are versatile.

Keith Van Horne, A.C. Green, Christian Laettner, Ric Smits


I hope some of you guys out there can add to this. I am really interested in hearing what you think. Until EA can give us some more info this is my best guess.

Hope it helps!

'Sup fellas,

After using the toolkit, I did a little examining of the "Scoring Area" rating. Hope this helps some of you!

Scorearea = Scoring Area, "sweet spot", if you will; examples:
1 = (SF/SG) L. Bird, G. Rice, D. Scott, J. Mashburn, A. Houston, T. McGrady
2 = (PG) E. Recasner, J. Stockton, D. Barros
3 = (C/PF) S. O'Neal, A. Mourning, S. Kemp, E. Brand, H. Olajuwon, P. Ewing
4 = (PF/C) W. Perdue, A. Foyle, C. Dudley, J. Feick (inside scrub scorers?!)
5 = (PF/C) S. Perkins, B. Wennington, T. Mills (big men w/some outside stroke)
6 = (SG) J. West, S. Smith, P. Maravich, A. Iverson, G. Hill, K. Bryant, D. Bing
7 = (SG/SF) M. Jordan, M. Richmond, V. Carter, S. Pippen, L. Odom
8 = (PG) T. Hardaway, Magic, Penny, Jason Kidd (all penetrators. . . )
9 = (PF/C) V. Potapenko, G. Mureshan, P.J. Brown, O. Harrington
10 = (PF/C) W. Reed, Big Country, A. McDyess, C. Oakley, C. Parks)

Other notables: W. Chamberlain, B. Pettit, E. Campbell, M. Malone R. Parrish = 3; W. Frazier = 6; C. Webber, A. Mason = 7

I saved it too, that was some good info................ but that was 2000, is everything still the same?

i dont get it how do you fix it
