Realistic 02-03 season roster (Andrew read please)

This is for Season Mode of the game only, i will only release it if i have permission of Andrew(Cause bassically it's his roster but modified)

Beginning from NLSC latest tweaked roster, i started tweaking it to improve all the simulated statistics, including realistic numbers(Not in minutes that's impossible) for bench players. And i got these results

Usual winners of the awards:
-MVP : Bryant-Garnett-Duncan-McGrady
-Most Improved Man : Ricky Davis-Troy Murphy-Matt Harpring-Bobby Jackson(Bobby averaging 21-22 ppg while Bibby isn't in the team, then finishes the season averaging about 16)
-Defender of the year : Wallace-Duncan-Christie
-6th Man of the year : Kirilenko-Corliss Williamson-Michael Redd-Aaron Mckie-Garrity (All always averaging at least 10 ppg usually more)
-Rookie of the year : Amare Stoudamire-Butler-Yao

The 1st teams of the year are pretty accurate, especially no crappy rookies in the Rookie 1st team.

I had to change some overall ratings so the lineups stay accurate all season long, but is only the 'overall' rating what is changed, not the single speed-fg-rebound...
Also changed some positions of the players.

The injured players are all accurate i could do.
Shaq and Bibby out more or less the first 25 games, Webber out 4-5.
You won't be able to play with McDyess, Terrel Bandon, Dermarr Johnson...
I'm still thinking what to do with players like Mutombo, McCulloch, Grant Hill, Fizer... that have only played 20-30 games or so. Maybe i will make them unavailable for all season or maybe getting them injured the 1st 60 games so they can only play last part of the season and the playoffs, tell me what do you think.

And what about getting injured players like Jimmy Jackson, Mike Wilks, etcetera that didn't join the season till it had begun, so they can't play the games at the beginning of the season?

More things...,Added Bimbo Coles to Boston and Tyrone Hill to Philly

Tweaked Teams "home court advantage" rating so the standings are realistic(For example Cleveland and Denver always below 22 wins, moreover Denver averaging less than 90 ppg)

Tell me your impressions

Can you be a bit more specific about the tweaks that you made? I would rather, with your permission, use those tweaks for the tweaked version. As long as I'm actively updating the Live 2003 rosters, I'd rather not have someone else release a roster using mine as a base.

See it yourself, maybe if you consider it's good ,you can add it to your next roster release as a 'beta' so people can try and write comments then.

It doesn't even matter if you announce them as totally yours, i only wanted to improve your roster for my personal playing but now i think it will be a nice addition to your releases.

I'll give it a look. One of the reasons I did not implement the season-long injuries to guys like Brandon, Mourning and Felipe Lopez is that when I put the question to the forum, pretty much everyone voted to have a roster that reflected lineups and injuries, but the players would still be playable in case anyone wanted to ignore the real NBA and activate those players.

Would you be able to put them up in .zip format? I can't open .rar files with Winzip.

Also, if I do release them, I'd rather credit you for the additional tweaking. It's only fair, I can't take credit for other people's work.

Link corrected

Thanks, I'll check it out.
