There aren't any video tutorials.
Basically, you'll download an archive file (eg a .zip or .rar file) which contains the modified game files. These files must be extracted using a program like Winzip or Winrar, and placed in the appropriate folder.
Rosters are distributed as save folders, which must be placed in the main saves folder for the game. That's located in your Documents folder, eg Documents\NBA Live 2003\saves.
With CustomArt enabled, you need to place the files within the render folder, under the appropriate subfolder (which must be created). The names of these subfolders are based on the .viv files you'll see within the render folder, such as xplayers (player art) and xcourt (court art).
So, if you're adding a face for Kobe Bryant, you would need to:
1. Enable CustomArt
2. Create a folder in render called xplayer
3. Create a folder within xplayer called kobryan (this corresponds to the name of the face file, which matches a value in the roster. Conventionally, this is the first two letters of the player's first name and the first five letters of their surname).
4. Extract the Kobe Bryant face update files from the .zip/.rar file to the kobryan folder.
For a court update, with CustomArt enabled you would:
1. Create a folder in render called xcourt
2. Extract the files to this folder.
The same goes for the other .viv files. Basically, with CustomArt on, the game will load the files from the subfolders instead of what is in the .viv files.
