And chrisV, the pics are in a file I posted before on page 1

I think you should create a classic team and a current team. If possible create new custom teams, otherwise replace the International/European or the Reebok teams. I would not replace any existing team artwork. Other patchers have done this and I did not like it when the original artwork was replaced without a warning. I don't want my installation screwed up if I want to remove a patch.
For the current roster this is my suggestion to have a balanced roster and give a nod towards longevity. There are many rookies on the Trotters for 2006.
C - D. Cole, L. Smith, N. Lofton(IR)
PF - E. Edgerson, P. Gaffney
SF - M. St. Julien, M. Wilson, K. Bruton(IR)
SG - M. Jackson, H. Lang, W. Versher. A. Blakes(IR)
PG - D. Rogers, E. O'Bryant, K. Shine
coach - Charles (Tex) Harrison (I think he's the head coach)
S. Scott and C. Johnson are no longer listed on the roster.
For the classic Trotters: Longevity important, don't use Chamberlain or Hawkins.
C - Robert Hall, Meadowlark Lemon, Goose Tatum, Frank Washington(IR)
PF - Willie Gardner, J.C. Gipson
SF - Geese Ausbie, Jackie Jackson, Tex Harrison(IR)
SG - Pop Gates, Manny Jackson, Bobby Joe Mason
PG - Marcus Haynes, Curly Neal, Carl Helem(IR)
coach - Abe Sapersetin
Cyberfaces - look great so far for the current trotters. I could not find large enough pictures. Maybe someone can scan a program for better pictures. For the classic players it will be difficult to find pictures, especially ones in color. What I did was create cyberfaces that would look similar to the player. I used NBA players with similar headshapes, bodies and hairstyles. For example I found a bald six footer with comparable skin color for Curly Neal. Then I used face parts, eyes, nose, facial hair, from NBA cyberfaces. I call this the "Dr. Frankenstein method". I was not concerned with searching through hundreds of players to find the perfect headshape.
Ratings: I think the Trotters should be rated high. 90s for all ratings. You expect the team to win most every game so ratings should be very good. It would be unfair to rate the Trotters compared to the NBA players. Most have never played in the NBA and most played at small colleges or were not stars on the college level. Edgerson played at Arizona with Mike Bibby, Richard Jefferson, Jason Terry and Mile Simon but he was a role player. He'd have lower ratings in NBA Live because he'd be the 12th man.
Visit the website, www.harlemglobetrotters.com , since there have been roster updates and new pictures since I sent the files to Cable Guy.
