I did an edit on a players.dbf file with DB Commander - I deleted about 50 players from the db(long story), I hit reload a few times to make sure the changes took and saved, closed DB commander, opened NBA Live, loaded the appropriate save/folder, and low and behold, all of the players I deleted are still there.
I went back and opened the players.dbf in DB Commander again and looked to see if maybe the changes didn't take, but they did, all of the players I deleted are still gone from the DB but THEY STILL SHOW UP WHEN I LOAD THE SAVE IN THE GAME!
WHY!? How, if the save is loading correctly and is loading THAT players.dbf, can all of the players I deleted STILL be there?
This isn't the first time I have experienced this kind of thing either.
