ehh, i don' realy know, but what i did was i just got a beye image from the "NBA Live 2003\render\xplrcmn.viv - misctpage.fsh" cut out teh eye part and edited it..., after that i just insterted it into a .fsh file caled beye.fsh ...
i had that to..., but if you look ingame it looks a lot better..., don't know why .
you could try to use the dds-compressor.., also you could try to make the 'eye-whites' larger so that they don't get mixed up in the red 'soroundings'...
