This is for editing things like off/def rebounds much easier. With a program you can convert dbf to xls, and xls to dbf without crashing problems.
The program is "Job Master" and it is downloadable in www.mindleads.com, you have to register though (but it isn't necessary to put real data, for them I live in Togo )
Create a new folder in My Documents/NBA Live 06 called for example "job"
Open it, "add job". There are five types of properties there:
General: put the name (I've put "dbf to xls") and check "Manual Start"
Action: leave it (it will convert the file without deleting the first)
Source: Check "Directory..." and select the created folder
Destination: Check "logical directory" and again select the created folder
Conversion: source format: dBASE file (dbf), target format: excel 97-02... (xls).
Click OK
Now add another job with the same properties except:
General: put another name (I've put "xls to dbf")
Conversion: source format: excel file... (xls), target format: dBASE IV (dbf).
Now you have those two jobs.
Copy the players.dbf to that new folder, and in Job Master right click "dbf to xls" and select Run Job. This will convert the file. I will explain then how to edit fast in excel.
After you finish editing in Excel, save and run the other job "xls to dbf".
Replace the dbf in the roster, currentdb or what you want.
At least it works for me
