a couple suggestions

Discussion about NBA Live 2003.

a couple suggestions

Postby rEdHoBBeS on Sun Mar 09, 2003 7:30 am

hi andrew.. u told me to make my suggestions here so here goes..

1. change amare stoudamire's dunk rating and inside scoring a bit higher. also, change his dunk package because currently they aren't really his style. i suggest 10.

2. make ai's dribblin rating a little bit higher. hes arguably the best dribbler in the nba but in the game he only has a 92 or so. can u up it a little so that he can do the same hand spin move?

hmm i kno i have more but dats all i can think of rah now. ill post more up later.

Andrew, you should try to contact some people who have already made those missing player's cyberfaces.. Maybe they will let you add them to the roster patch. I have already gotten all of the missing players cyberfaces except for Smush Parker (which Rune will be releasing shortly).

I prefer not to do this for two reasons, 1. It increases the size of the download, 2. It favours the work of a particular patchmaker, and not everyone has the same tastes or opinions when it comes to face patches.

Using one of Don Daily's tools, it should be possible to make automatic adjustments to the DBF when installing the All-Star jersey patch. I need to look into it though. If I find anything, I'll let F.T.W. and the others know about it.

Charles Barkley is retired, and Dennis Rodman is not likely to come back to the league. In the interest of realism, I would prefer not to add prospects like LeBron James to the free agent pool (it's also technically impossible to add rookies to the draft pool). I could add some more legends/decade all-star teams, but I would prefer to leave that to the offseason, when there is not as much work to do with the current rosters (players going on injured list, lineups changing, players being waived etc).

Is it possible to tweak the rosters even further by making the dunk rating for every player even lower so that dunks will only be attempted when the player has no one between him? By doing this dunks would be rarer.

I rather have players do layups in the lane rather than dunk. I don't mind O'Neal dunking all the time but I like to have some variety. A mix of lay ups and dunks.

Suggestion: I don't know what ratings you gave for him in your patch...but EA didn't give Gilbert Arenas good enough dribbling and he isn't too quik. So could you make his speed and quikness higher by atleast 5 if you haven't already and make him a better dribbler...because he is so damn quik in real life...
Thanks.

It might be possible. Which roster though, tweaked or untweaked? I'd prefer to leave the untweaked rosters with their current rating system.

Either tweak the "tweaked" rosters or have another roster slot for the new tweaks.

There's no need to add another roster just with tweaked dunk ratings. That can be changed in all rosters simply by editing the dunk package, which is what I'll do.

I'm not going to tweak the untweaked version. It wouldn't be untweaked then. :wink: I'll just change the appropriate ratings for the appropriate players.

I got these:
-Make Gordan Giricek better 3 point & FT shooting
-Low a bit Garrity FG rating and raise McGrady's....
-Move Cliff Robinson to PF and Ben Wallace to C


More to come... :P

I can take a look at those ratings, but the boxscores continually show Ben Wallace starting at forward, Cliff Robinson at centre, so the lineup will not be changed until the boxscores show there has been a change. :)

How about creating a permanent topic for suggestions for the next roster update?

That's why I create the "v1.0x released..." threads, to announce the new patch and canvas suggestions based on the most up to date version. After all, once the other NLSC roster patches are released (such as the All-Time roster), this forum will be a support forum for them as well.

Can you also lower Jalen Rose's dunk rating? He rarely dunks but in the game he does windmills.

Thanks.

Another suggestion: J.R. Bremer certainly would not dunk in a game, but he attempts them every time. Perhaps give him a dunk pack with all layups.
