Next Roster Release Date

[Andrew]

As I'm always asked when the next roster update is coming out, I've decided to maintain an announcement thread so everyone's aware of my plans for the next release.

Next Update (v3.9): TBA

A couple of notes regarding the release dates:

• The dates are approximate guesses and are subject to change at any time.
• If there's no date posted, I haven't decided on one yet.
• When a date has been posted, it means the update is expected to be out sometime on that day. Not as soon as the clock ticks over, not necessarily in the morning or in the evening. I anticipate releasing it at some point during the specified day.
• Likewise, rough guesses such as "after the draft" should not be interpreted as "immediately after the draft has finished" or "the day immediately after the draft".
• My life does not revolve around the roster patches, I maintain them in my free time so I might not always be able to maintain a regular pattern with the updates, and sometimes may be forced to postpone updates. While I'd like to keep them consistent, quite often it comes down to when I have the time and energy and whether an update is urgently needed (ie serious bugs in a release).
• After releasing an update, I don't immediately make plans for the next one. In most cases I probably won't offer a release date for the next version for at least a couple of days after the current version is released.
• Pestering me about the next release won't make me post it any earlier, so please don't. This has gone on long enough, refusal to acknowledge this request is grounds for banning; appeals will be welcome.

Any other questions and of course suggestions for the update, you know what to do by now.

Tentative date for v3.2 posted.

[Andrew]

The tentative date for v3.2 has been pushed back a bit, there's some really nice updates in the works from various contributors that I'd really like to include in v3.2 (particularly the stuff nick_collison is doing with speech updates for the NBA Live PC project) and they're not quite ready yet.

I'm afraid I'll have to push back the release again, probably to late October just in time for the 2009/2010 season. If I can get the updates out earlier I certainly will but at this point it might be easier after a few more camp invitees get cut in preparation for the new season. Last year I created everyone that made a camp roster and I might still do that but a lot of those guys don't come close to making the final cut nor catch on with an NBA team during the season. In any case there's a fair amount of new faces amongst the camp invitees, so I'll need a bit more time. I still very much intend to keep the rosters updated for those who are still playing the old games, however.
