Also, courtney and samutei have already released all sorts of cf's and portraits for a great number of the listed players. They have cf creation down to an art and they are constantly taking requests and producing results. Don't say it can't be done. It is being done.
As far as those players who will be in the NBDL, I believe the intention of their inclusion in this patch is for the free agent list. It will make it a more inclusive roster update. We can do this.
At no point did I say that it can't be done. I was simply stating in a kind manner that this is a waste of time. There's a reason why Andrew refused to do this. He had the right idea. You're doing all this work and you're gonna enjoy for what... A couple of months? From what I'm hearing the PC graphics won't be that advanced. If you can run live 06 now, chances you're gonna have minimal problems running 07.
And about rookies and the NBDL, here's some numbers for you.
Only the first 30 picked in the draft get guaranteed contracts, and that doesn't even mean they'll be on the roster. They can still get paid and be put in the NBDL. Last season, 17 of the 30 second-round picks played in the NBA.. Of those 17 only five played in more than half their teams' games. Four of those five were college seniors. There are way more early entrants this year than College seniors. And it's been the same thing for years and years now. The amount of international players and early-entrants you have listed exceed the amount of college seniors listed. Think about that.
You'll be lucky if 20% of those cyberfaces and portraits are gonna be in your live 06 game during the 06-07 regular season. And I'm disregarding what you have to do to get all the accurate information in their biographies. You might want to do something a little more productive. NBA Live has begun declining with this installment of the series. I think 06 is the worst one yet, and many would agree. 07 is obviously going to be better. There's no logical reason behind staying with 06.
