if wiki says the person is a retired nba player then i retire them...if not then i leave them as a free agent

some players get phased out because no one signs them...but it doesnt mean they retired. Allen Iverson would be an example of that

based on ur example...

Matt Harpring should be retired but the last i heard Ruben Patterson is just an old free agent...i'll check again as the season gets closer (because i will also check which free agents are overseas and which are staying in the us)


According to ESPN's Celtics Hub, Boston wants to use Rasheed's contract to make a move: http://celticshub.com/2010/07/13/using-sheeds-deal-to-fill-the-wing/

...then maybe we'll see him at somewhere place. So please, don't put him off yet!

I agree that it might be best to wait and see with Rasheed, though it still seems likely he'll retire. As far as the rosters are concerned it's not difficult to move him in and out of the active/playable rosters, just a matter of "wait and see" right now.

RR, ok u've won me over :mrgreen:

but yea like Andrew says....its perfectly easy to edit the roster one ur own...its not like the TUP10 roster is set in stone...its more like a basis for the user to use

...i mean people can just as easily modify the roster to their liking (theres even some tips on how to in the README), which makes it even more confusing on why people would beg for rosters that recently just signed a player or a team went to a trade. there is a "trade" and "sign/release" options in the game by default....why cant people just use that temporarily while patchers make their updates? plus its not like patchers are going to release a new roster every time a player changes jerseys....we would release many changes in bulk at once time...oh well...i'll end my rant there

by the way, that rant was in no way what so ever directed to you RR so don't get it confused. i got no problems with u about question the roster, ur just making suggestions to help make it better and that i appreciate!

Re: NBA LIVE TUP10 Garage - update package 2 in progress

Thu Jul 15, 2010 1:12 am

yah i agree on Kidjustin... :mrgreen:
nice one bro...
to all like KJ said...
just use the "TRADE and SIGN RELEASE" in nba live 08...
and wait for the latest roster updates... :cheeky:

I'm not confused at all, in fact I'm glad you don't get me wrong, it's really pure suggestions.

Reading your "Roster Statement", is there a way to restore by ourselves* players who's not into it anymore? (For example Wallace itself, considering that he's not included on TUP10 v.2, Update Package 1).

*and "by ourselves" understands people like me who doesn't know nothing about patching files/programs :roll:

of course! i'll go ahead and add a quick step-by-step in the README for the next update as I think that would be a good addition:

here's a quick write up:

Customizing your TUP10 Roster through the players.dbf
(useful for making players not available through the Trade or Sign/Release feature -like NT, Decade, or Retired players)
1. Backup your Save file!! (very important)
2. Download/Install DB Commander (found here on NLSC download: http://download.nba-live.com/index.php?act=view&id=1385)
*nevermind if it is a trial or that it expires, the main feature we will be using will still be available even if the trial period ended*
3. There are 2 windows (left and right) of the program, this allows you to edit two databases at once, for simplicity sake, we will only use the left window for this guide
4. There is a "folder" looking icon on the top left, that is the "Open" icon
5. Click on the "Open" icon and a browser window will open
6. In the browser window, navigate to your save folder (typically My Documents/NBA LIVE 08/save)
7. Open your save (or TUP10) folder
8. Open the "players.dbf"
Now you have choices:
9 (Basic)
9A. Click on one of the cells that you want to search on, ex. if you want to search by player's last name, select any cell in the "NAME" column. first name by FNAME column, etc
9B. Ctrl+F to bring up the find window and type in the search criteria to find the player you want to edit
9C. Once you find the player you must make sure it is the right one because a player can be in there more than one time because he is on more than one team
9D. The easiest way to do this is close the find window, then scroll to the right (either with mouse or right arrow) until you get to the TEAM column of that player's record/row
9F. Refer to either the teams.dbf (a whole 'nother story) or the default team ID's (http://nbalive08.nba-live.com/index.php?go=teams) to determine if you found the player on the right team (or retired)
9G. Since you are at the TEAM column already, change the number to 50 (free agent pool) or whatever team ID you like
(skip to step 11)
10 (Advanced) - coming soon
11. Right below the window there are a few icons, click on the check mark (to accept changes)
12. Repeat steps to edit another player
13. Close the program using the "exit" icon (far right Icon that looks like an arrow pointing at an open door)
14. Run the game, load the roster, and find the player in the free agent pool (or which ever team you placed them on)

Wonderful, not complicated at all. Thank you so much!

RR, oh good. i thought it was easy...then after how long it came out i got worried it would be too much

just wanted to be as detailed as possible

(i did it all from memory!)

I'd also like to stress that I'm not directing this at RR or any of the other regulars here, but I couldn't agree more. With all the rumours and daily transactions during the offseason, you've got to pick and choose when to release a roster so it's not going to become immediately outdated by a major deal...easier said than done. Occasionally I'll get a comment on a main page news post informing me that I'm "lazy" because I'm taking a while to get a roster update out...by people who are waiting for someone else to swap a few players around.

That's the Internet for you I guess, fortunately we are a pretty good community when it comes to things like that but there are always going to be a few people who act like spoiled brats or want to be insulting rather than constructive in their feedback. We just have to rise above those individuals.

Thu Jul 15, 2010 4:15 pm

Andrew, :applaud:

you mean like the Hornets rescinding the Luther Head contract? or MJ putting an axe to the CHA-TOR trade? haha

or imagine if patchers would release a new roster ever time we heard a rumor about where LeBron was going to sign....haha


anyways, in brighter news...

MY COMPUTER IS FIXED!!! which means i can finally get back to patching

....i actually ended up buying a whole new case with a new (more powerful power supply) than just buying a power supply
:D

Exactly. :)

Good news about your PC. (Y)

Re: NBA LIVE TUP10 Garage - update package 2 in progress

Thu Jul 15, 2010 5:33 pm

When will update package 2 be released and will it include all the trades and free agent signings that has been made after the update package 1 has been released? Will it also include the missing CF's of the players and the coaches? I'm new here at NLSC but I've been downloading patches since RR8 I've already installed TUP 10 and it's great except for the annoying lay-up. Thank you to all the patchers who spend their time to make NBA LIVE alive in the PC. Hopefully Elite 12 will be released on PC. :D

Re: NBA LIVE TUP10 Garage - update package 2 in progress

Thu Jul 15, 2010 9:33 pm

KidJustin, Maybe make a roster at the end of July and then one at August 15 and then every 15 days till the preseason

Re: NBA LIVE TUP10 Garage - update package 2 in progress

Thu Jul 15, 2010 10:18 pm

cant wait to start new season with roster updated :)
i want to beat Heat's Big 3 and Lakers goes to 3 peat
may be Rookie of the year with D.Ebanks :cheeky:

Re: NBA LIVE TUP10 Garage - update package 2 in progress

Fri Jul 16, 2010 2:28 am

kixkix21, not sure when it will be released exactly, it will include as much CF's as S_Brat and ej17 have made....so probably not coaches yet....thanks for the support!..and yes...that damn lay-up :lame:

cjballer95, overall's don't mean anything...its about the stats of the player
...but with that said, i've been meaning to take another quick look at the stats...but maybe not for package 2, we'll see

George7, good idea, but i dont want to set myself any dates...plus sometimes there will be nothing to release. i update everything asap, but i hold my release until there enough to be released. right now i'm letting King Dee finish up the updated NT teams as well as let ej_17 and S_Brat catchup as much CF work as possible...all while i update the roster...the contracts come in only sometimes throughout the week...other times i have to do some research and calculation...so there is a pretty good amount of work that can be done right now. when its finished i'll release it

minhmohp, ebanks ROY? :eh: :facepalm: that's funny man
...why not just go sign/release Bron and Bosh onto the Heat and test it out now?

Re: NBA LIVE TUP10 Garage - update package 2 in progress

Fri Jul 16, 2010 6:04 pm

:D it's just in the game :lol:
i'll try to make him have good stats
not only Heat's Big 3, i want corrected roster so i 'll wait for TUP'patchers :)

Re: NBA LIVE TUP10 Garage - update package 2 in progress

Fri Jul 16, 2010 7:09 pm

I have a problem with the roster file when I am playing dynasty. I start the game and load the roster file from the TUP 10 Package 1 but when I start a new dynasty the game uses the default roster (for example I want to play with the Sixers and the roster has players like Samuel Dalambert and Kyle Korver and Evan Turner and Elton Brand are missing). This problem is only on dynasty. The season is working fine. I tried fixing it by manually copying the files from the roster to the currentdb,workingdb and originaldb folders in my documents/Nba live 08/database folder and everything worked fine(the players showed up). But this way the game crashes every time when I try to simulate the 10th february(I am not sure why exactly the 10th February but I think it is connected with the start of the NBA Weekend). Could you please help me ?

P.S.
BTW Amazing work on the whole project! You are the best !!!

Re: NBA LIVE TUP10 Garage - update package 2 in progress

Fri Jul 16, 2010 8:25 pm

fiercedrake, when you start dynasty, make sure Fantasy Draft is off (i think that's it) I know Andrew answer this question all the time...maybe he can correct me if i'm wrong

Re: NBA LIVE TUP10 Garage - update package 2 in progress

Fri Jul 16, 2010 8:36 pm

fiercedrake, You start dynasty without Fantasy draft or Draft ?
