No it's not cancelled. But to satisfy those impatient people then here's the release that was not intended for public yet, because certain things need a bit more tweaking and there's still no height tweak for primacy.

The installation and use is exactly the same . This takes alot more into account than the previous one, but some things are still not the way I like it (like Morrison not shooting that much, or Shaq scoring too much). Anyways, most of these things are exceptions, and not rules, and that's why those minor issues can actually be fixed by your own ratings editing of the player, since sadly the way how NBA Live 07 handles what players to use, is really restricted.
This version actually does not separate players into C-PF and PG-SF. Every position has it's own separate tweaks (which you can edit in *.bat scripts), and alot of things are taken into account, star-status (star players of certain status usually get a bit more ball), experience, speed, different skills and chemistry and other things (definite list during installation is shown)
Anyways, it's not the final release, but it's the one I'm using for my own dynasties I play from time to time and am happy with it.
Cheers

Height is the main reason Yao is a threat offensively??? I guess you're right considering the fact that guys like Bradley, Muresan, Smits, Bol... have all been such studs...
No offense here, rockets fan, but you did not really get what I was saying. I said 'main' reason, not the 'only' reason. Smits was an all-star. Muresan and Bradley were also very much used because of their height, but both missed strong offensive package. Yao has good offense and defense, but his height is 'why' these work so well. Cut Yaos height, and he'd not play in starting lineup however.
That is how NBA Live handles it as well. If player has height advantage, the player shoots alot better against their defender. It's easy to see against small PG's with your stronger PG, or for example Adam Morrisons case, who does not have amazing FG and 3PT shooting rating, but can score alot more often than those similar to him but smaller in stature.
Which is why height should increase primacy, even if the player is not amazing at offense, he gets alot more chances compared to someone as weak offensively, but alot smaller.
