You can't apply the patch to a season that's already in progress. You won't lose any season data if you install the rosters but if you want to use the rosters in a season, you'll need to start a new one.

Can I successfully add my created rosters into the players.dbf in NLSC1011 document by directly editing player.dbf file?

You should never add players through DBF editing. Always create them in-game and then edit the DBF file as necessary when you're done.

After updating, I started a new season in game mode.
When I wanted to start first game in schedule, my computer showed an error window (CODEBASE ERROR) as follows:

ERROR #: -70
ERROR #: 91102
Reading File
dfile4...()
TEAMS

then NBA Live software shutdown automatically.
How can I solve this problem?

Try copying the teams.dbf file from the roster save folder to your season save folder. NBA Live 2005 has a few quirks like that when it comes to using custom rosters.

After I copied the teams.dbf file from the roster save folder to my season save folder, all team information including rosters in my season mode were empty. Did I misunderstand your suggestion?

No, that was the instruction. Try deleting the contents of the workingdb and currentdb folders, re-load the roster and start a new season again.

Glad to hear it. As I said, NBA Live 2005 has a few annoyances likes that when it comes to using custom rosters (just a heads up, sometimes you have to re-load rosters before loading saved Dynasty games) but fortunately there are a few workarounds that usually get things working again.

Here are fixed versions of the Wizards logos and the NBA Team Logos bootup screen (with the fixed Wizards logo), using the logo exported from NBA 2K12.

Andrew, regarding your roster updates, do you have plans to support live 2005 through the 11/12 season?

Re: Andrew's Updates: Upcoming Projects

Postby Andrew on Tue Dec 20, 2011 10:40 pm

I must stress that no releases are imminent at this time, but I did want to post a quick update on what I'm working on and the rough order I expect to have those projects out in.

Updated rosters for the 2011/2012 season

New current rosters are my top priority at this time. Please note that I cannot and will not set a date, but my aim is to have them out as soon as possible. In the meantime, I certainly welcome any contributions of art updates for the 2012 season; I'll try to get the stickied list updated as soon as possible so that we have a checklist for the NLSC update and possibly TUP as well, since there's obviously some overlap there in art requirements.

New versions of LIVE JAM

Call it the "On Fire Edition"...edition. Because they're based on the current rosters, they'll be coming next but I'll be tweaking the concept a bit as far as the rosters are concerned and looking to add some new stuff if possible.

Updated ESPN transitions

I found a good sized image with the new NBA on ESPN logo, so I'll be making some new transitions. These might actually come between the current rosters and other projects, as it's a relatively quick update to make.

Historical project

At some point, I'd like to take a shot at a historical project based on the Jordan Challenge and NBA's Greatest. There's already some historical art updates out there so if the creators are willing to share those assets, they should be fairly easy to make. However, I have been experimenting with a few ideas for presentation.

Image

Image

Basically, it involves taking the art files and changing the textures to greyscale. By having two different sets of files for teams like Russell's Celtics, we can have a team that can face off against a historical opponent in complete black and white, along with a version that's in full colour to bring them into the modern era. Basically it involves:

- Greyscale court and arena textures
- Greyscale faces and skin files, with a different PLAYERPKG
- Plain white socks and black shoes assigned to black and white teams
- Greyscale jersey, with a different filename and separate entry in teamgear.dbf
- Duplicate portrait for players to match the second PLAYERPKG value

I expect only a few teams would require 60s presentation, so it wouldn't be too much work. The ball can obviously be greyscale as well but you'd need to switch the art files back and forth in the sgsm folder to go between the colour ball and greyscale ball. That could always be done with a batch file though.

Anyway, that's a bit of a far off project, one that'll come after the current updates and LIVE JAM. But I wanted to show everyone something I'd be messing around with recently.

Cartoon/Cel-Shaded Lighting

Based on the effects in the Legends Showcase DLC for NBA 2K12. I was originally messing around with the lighting file to try and replicate the black and white presentation before I figured changing the textures to greyscale would be easier and much more effective, during which time I accidentally put a black outline around players. I wish I'd kept that version of my messed up file though because I've subsequently thought I could use that effect for a cartoonish/cel-shaded look but wouldn't you know it, I haven't been able to replicate the effect I stumbled across by accident. :doh: Something else I'll fool around with in between the larger and higher priority projects.

So that's about it. No release dates as yet, so please don't ask or bug me about that. ;) I will do my best to have the current rosters out as soon as possible though and again, I'd very much appreciate any contributions of art updates for the new season. (Y)

Appreciate the kind words. I'm looking forward to playing around with it more once the current rosters are done. :)

Re: Andrew's Updates: Upcoming Projects

Postby Andrew on Thu Apr 19, 2012 12:43 am

I’m pleased to announce that at long last, I anticipate releasing new roster updates for NBA Live 2005 through NBA Live 08 by the end of the week. At this point, all of the necessary players have been created, player art is in place, the rosters for all 30 NBA teams and the East and West All-Stars are up to date and years pro have been updated to include the 2010/2011 season.

Over the next couple of days, I will be finishing up editing ratings for players who were in last year’s rosters, ensuring all team art is in place and up to date, updating things like salaries, team records and accessories, adding this year’s Rookie Challenge rosters and putting on other finishing touches. Once the NBA Live 08 update is complete, I’ll be converting it for use with NBA Live 07, NBA Live 06 and NBA Live 2005. As soon as that’s done, I’ll be uploading the new rosters and announcing the release here on the NLSC.

A huge thanks to everyone for their continued patience and support. I am getting the rosters out much later than I would’ve liked, due to a combination of the lockout dampening my enthusiasm, burnout on making the updates and other responsibilities continually getting in the way, however the release is finally in sight. At this point I’m not sure about the future of the updates beyond this season, especially if NBA Live 13 does come out on PC, but I will evaluate the situation around the time of the 2012 Draft as I’d like to do what I can to keep the old games alive for those who still play them. In the meantime, check back soon for the new rosters!

I find it already amazing u have been updating it for so many years.

Whatever u decide, thank you once again.

I have to admit I thought about playing it for the final year as well. Technology doesn't stand still and playing with a bunch of number this and number that isn't the same...
Fingers crossed NBA live 13 is going to be a really good edition. :)
