v1.06 released...

[Gedas]

I think that D. Songaila deserves a much better field goal rating. It's currently ~37 or smth. like that, even though he ranks 35th in hte NBA in FG percentage (~50%). So please note that.

I'm sure it's higher than 37, but I'll check on that anyway.

I'll look at Batista's ratings but a glance at his stats doesn't really warrant a huge boost. Perhaps rebounding, but that's certainly all.

Yeah, sorry, my bad. You already fixed it.

[Buckley]

Andrew, great roster patch. One question. How do u switch the all-star jerseys around in a current dynasty?

[pHLo]

Charlie Villanueva: 21 ft

i've seen Charlie Villanueva hitting 3s several times in the recaps, so maybe he deserves a lil bit more



and just a little question... what about pushing the field goal range above the usual 25 feet for some of the shooters ?

player like Mo Williams, Ray Allen, Kobe, Vince Carter who shoot the rock from way downtown some steps behind the 3-point line

it's not necessary if u don't like to spend your time on such things andrew...

i really love your accurate rosters man
good job on the new one =)

[Andrew]

and just a little question... what about pushing the field goal range above the usual 25 feet for some of the shooters ?

No point. 25 is the maximum recognised range.

How do u switch the all-star jerseys around in a current dynasty?

You could just copy the teamgear.dbf file from the roster update into your Dynasty save. No season data is stored there so it won't wipe anything. But I'd still recommend making a backup just in case. Nothing more frustrating than tinkering with the dbfs in a Dynasty game and losing the whole thing.

and just a little question... what about pushing the field goal range above the usual 25 feet for some of the shooters ?

No point. 25 is the maximum recognised range.

i don't think so, i played around with it bumping the shooting range to 40 and i hit surprisingly good from way downtown, it was in a regular game and they were all uncontested shots, since the cpu doesn't defend u very closely when u're like 6 steps behind the arc, i hit like 4 of 8 shots, i think it works

[[C][B]#4]

Hey andrew, great work on ver. 1.06. I just have one small request. Its a simple thing. Can u change the laker's gear colours? In your latest roster patch, when the lakers wear the yellow jerseys, the players wear the purple bands. When the lakers wear purple jerseys, they wear the yellow bands, and when they go white, the players have yellow bands. Can you change them to their current colours now? (yellow with yellow, purple with purple, white with white?)

thx in advance

I have to say : the clippers are still underrated. Elton's jump shot ability is unreal - the majority of his points come at FT/elbow jumpers.

Quinton Ross has a 15 foot jumper, and is the best defender on the team.

and Mobley seems to lose the ball way too often to good defenders just on a pump fake or catch and shoot

Besides that: Great Job with the update

[JimRaynor55]

As always, good job Andrew. Here's some suggestions I have for you:

-Since he came back last month, Yao has taken his game to another level. It's probably too early to boost him up to superstar levels, but I think an all-around increase in ratings is called for.

-Brian Cook is an excellent 3pt shooter. 60 is way too low.

-Noel Felix's (new Sonics rookie) birth city and state seem messed up, and currently read as N/A. He was born in Inglewood, California. You currently have his positions as PF/C, which he did play in college and in the CBA. However, the Sonics think of him as a SF, so SF/PF is probably more appropriate. He won All-Defensive awards before, and the Sonics hope that he might develop into a defensive stopper on the perimeter, so you should probably increase his Defensive Awareness as well.

-Kwame Brown seems extremely overrated with an overall rating in the 70s. To put it lightly, he's terrible. One rating that caught my eye was his Inside Scoring of 78. Kwame is just plain awful on offense. His Offensive and Defensive Rebounding (73 and 78 respectively) also seem high; Kwame is a mediocre rebounder at best.

-Chris Paul should receive an overall upgrade. Check out his stats, they're almost like Jason Kidd's when he was in his prime.

-Jamaal Magloire is rebounding extremely well, and should have some of the best rebounding ratings in the league. However, his Block rating should be decreased significantly, as should his offensive abilities. He's not really scoring that much anymore, and mostly on assisted dunks.

-Make a HUGE all-around decrease in Tayshaun Prince and Andre Iguodala's ratings. They still have ratings similar to their default ratings, which were ridiculously high. Also make an all-around decrease to Joe Johnson to a lesser extent. He's a good player, but he's not an All-Star, just the main man on a terrible team.

-Decrease Baron Davis's FG and 3pt rating, he isn't scoring that much (under 18 ppg) and his percentages are terrible this season.

-Decrease Tim Duncan's ratings. He's still a very good player, but this season is far from his best. His ppg and FG% are down. I think his FG rating is the the best candidate for reduction. It's currently at an extremely high 85, even though sites like 82games.com say that he's only hitting a lousy 34% of his jumpshots. His Inside Scoring, currently at the maximum of 99, should also probably be brought down to more mortal levels. Finally, his blocking, while still very good, isn' close to what he was doing last season.

-Boris Diaw has improved greatly this season. His scoring has increased greatly, and his FG% is at 52%. I think his FG rating is fair though at 70. He's a so-so jumpshooter (who doesn't really shoot 3's), but he's scoring very well in the paint. His inside scoring is currently mediocre at 51, and his dunking is terrible at 15. Both ratings should be increased. In addition, he is spending a lot of time in front court positions and his rebounding has gone up. It's not anything spectacular, but it should be on the level of a poor rebounding big man (which is good for Diaw, since he's really a SF).

-Greatly decrease Chris Webber's FG rating. His FG% is terrible, and a look at 82games.com shows why: About 70% of his FGAs are jumpshots, but he's making a horrible 33% of them. A comparison to good jumpshooting big men shows that they usually have jumpshot % close to, or even a bit over 40%.

-Give Stephon Marbury and Steve Francis big all-around decreases. The stats of both players have gone down across the board, and they don't deserve to have near superstar ratings.

-Give Rasheed Wallace a big boost in 3pt shooting, he's currently averaging over 43%. However, he also deserves significant decreases in Inside Scoring (taking very few shots in the paint, and converting at a horrible 42%), as well as Offensive and Defensive Rebounding (extremely low considering the minutes he plays).

-Increase Zydrunas Ilgauskas' Inside Scoring and FT ratings a bit, he's currently doing some of the most efficient scoring of his career (his numbers don't look amazing, but that's because he's averaging under 30 mpg).

-Greatly increase Gerald Wallace's Inside Scoring rating. His jumpshot is still mediocre, but he's averaging an extremely high FG% of 54% because he's pretty much getting to the hoop at will. He should probably have an Inside Scoring rating comparable to Lebron, Wade, Kobe, or at least Tony Parker. He should probably get an increase in Offensive Awareness as well.

-Increase Mehmet Okur's rebounding ratings, and maybe his FG ratings.

-T.J. Ford needs a big decrease in ratings. His FG rating is 80, even though he's averaging about 39% from the field. His 3pt rating is also probably a bit too high, rated at 72 even though he's just a 32% 3pt shooter (and on a low number of attempts). Finally, his passing has plummeted. Before his injury, Ford was averaging a terrific 6.5 apg in about 26.8 mpg. This season, he's averaging a mediocre 6.4 apg in 36.2 mpg.

25 is the maximum. It shouldn't recognise anything above that and in my experience, it does not.

Thanks for the latest, all noted. I'll try to put them to good use.

Problem with Roster 1.06:

Msg:




Help me!!!!!

[Jugs]

Did you alter the players.dbf file in any way?

[Chris.]

any chance of including playmaker's playbook selections in the next roster if you can get permission
also LeBron's weight should be increased hes at 240lbs in your roster but on the all-star list his at 245lbs and i guess that is more updated
http://www.nba.com/allstar2006/allstar_game/
maybe theres some more update weights there too but i haven't noticed

[Eldad]

v1.06 is great as usual

[wiliands]

Did you alter the players.dbf file in any way?

No. This problem is happening in my Dynasty.

[Jugs]

No shit you idiot.

Somehow, you have altered the players.dbf in the dynasty save folder and there's nothing you can do, the file is corrupt.

[JimRaynor55]

-I made a mistake about Rasheed Wallace's 3pt%, it's 36% (43% was his total FG%). That still deserves a boost from his current 68 rating though.

-I think Carlos Boozer deserves an increase to his Inside Scoring rating, which is currently only 72. He's an inside player who has some post moves, and he's currently hitting over 76% of his shots in the paint. Lots of guys who aren't even post players are rated higher than him.

-I think Mike Bibby and Jason Terry may have been given Passing ratings of 84 in the default roster for the sake of making more Freestyle Superstars. Both of them are shoot-first, scoring PGs who aren't averaging a lot of assists. Terry is averaging only 3.8 assists in 34.8 minutes, and Bibby is averaging only 5.6 assists in 38.6 minutes. Neither of them should be a Playmaker, IMO.

Help me!!!!!

This is not a problem with the roster, I have tested it thoroughly and not once encountered a codebase error. If it was an error with the update, everyone would encounter that error everytime without fail. It sounds like you've modified the dbf (perhaps to install a face patch?), chances are you've corrupted the database. There's no way to restore it once that's happened. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Thanks for the latest, all noted.

Thanks Andrew for help.

Well.... I recommenced my dynasty and I did not have problem the same. Remembering that I did not modify the archives "dbf".

[Blacksmurf313]

I'll provide a list with appropriate ratings.

Chicago:

C Malik Allen: 16 ft
C Othella Harrington: 15 ft
PF Tyson Chandler: 5 ft
PF Darius Songaila: 20 ft
PF Michael Sweetney: 16 ft

Denver:
Marcus Camby: 17 ft
Kenyon Martin: 19 ft

New York:
Channing Frye: 19 ft

Phoenix:
Kurt Thomas: 18 ft (didn't check FG rating yet, should be around 70-72 IMO)

Sacramento:
Kenny Thomas: 16 ft

Toronto:
Charlie Villanueva: 21 ft

Those are just the ones off the top of my head, use my ratings lightly, feel free to use what you think is right. Any more you guys post I will add to my list.

Excellent list, to piggy back here is a few more to add to the list.

Lakers:
Cook: 19 ft should be about 71 to 73 shooting
Mihm: 14 Ft

Utah:
Okur 18 Ft

Golden State
Troy Murphy 18 FT, his post game is lacking.

Sacremento:
Brad Miller: 17 FT

Detroit:
Antonio Mcdyess: 16 Feet fg should be 74 inside scoring could be lowered

Atlanta:
Zaza Pachulia: 16 No inside game

Boston: Paul Peirce leads team in rebounding @ 6.7 per game.
Brian Scalabrine: 25 ft shoots .318% 3pts, No inside, no rebouding
Ray Lafreinz: 18 Ft, No inside game, no rebounding

Charlotte: Gerald Wallace and Brevin Knight lead league in Steals
Primoz Brezec: 18 FT

Cleaveland:
Zydrunas Ilgauskas: 17 Ft and a nice post game

Houston: Swift shouldn't have superstar moves, he sucks arse!!Juwan Howard: 16 FT

LA Clippers:
Elton Bran: 14 FT

Memphis: [b]This team is sucks in Assist
Brian Cardinal: 25 FT and he shoots .389% 3pt

Hornets:
PJ Brown: 15 Feet has been consistant from that range entire career

Newyork: This team's Chemistry is screwed. Lower all offensive and Defensive awareness for all players. One of the worst teams ever.

Orlando: Sucks at assist, one of the worst @ scoring, what a joke.
Darko Millic: 19 FT [/b]

[Jugs]

One of the worst teams ever.

Can not argue with that....

[JimRaynor55]

Brian Cook and Mehmet Okur should have shooting ranges of 25 feet, since they can both hit the 3pt shot, and do so frequently. Brad Miller can hit shots out to 20 feet (and once in a while, a 3pt shot).

[Andrew]

Noted.

[Pibb]

also LeBron's weight should be increased hes at 240lbs in your roster but on the all-star list his at 245lbs and i guess that is more updated
http://www.nba.com/allstar2006/allstar_game/
maybe theres some more update weights there too but i haven't noticed

Pretty small change obviously but looks like Arenas is taller and heavier now too (6 ft 4 in, 210 lbs). And Gasol lost weight (227 lbs).

[Air Jordon]

delonte wests speed and quickness should be faster.
nate robinson shouldnt be a highflyer because he has only dunked 3 times in a game this year.
Eddy Curry, Drew Gooden, and Kwame Brown are all over rated!

[Andrew]

delonte wests speed and quickness should be faster.

I'll check it out.

nate robinson shouldnt be a highflyer because he has only dunked 3 times in a game this year.

I'm not going to change the ratings back and forth. I increased in his ratings as suggested in light of him winning the dunk contest and so that he would be one of the default participants. I'm leaving it for now.

Eddy Curry, Drew Gooden, and Kwame Brown are all over rated!

In what way? Please make some specific suggestions, it would be a lot more helpful. Please note (and I have said this many, many, many times) I do not boost or lower the overall simply so it looks better. I will not change my mind about this policy, so unless you can point out some specific errors in which they need to be changed I will not be altering their ratings.
