WTF

Sun Jan 14, 2007 11:43 pm

Can someone please explain in clear English how to install this patch, and the rosters patch.

I follow the instructions that accompany the installer and I end up with

YOUR_MY-DOCUMENT_DIRECTORY and YOUR_MY-DOCUMENTS_FOLDER

in my "My Documents" directory.

Is this correct? Because 1 folder has "Database" and "Saves", and the other has "Database" and "Settings".

I would have thought these would go in

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\NBA LIVE 07.


But if I replace the original database folder, do I replace it with the database folder from the rosters patch, or the gameplay fix patch.

Its just a big pain in the arse. Can someone please explain in full sentences for me. Thanks for your hard work Jimmy. I can see that you have tried to make installation easy, but I just don't understand how to do it.

*Sorry for double post - couldn't be helped. Don't ask.*

And another thing ...

Is there supposed to be a second NBA Live 07 folder in C:\Program Files\EA SPORTS\NBA LIVE 07.

Or was that supposed to overwrite files in the original directory too?

FOR THE ROSTER PATCH

PART1. it should be in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator or User\My Documents
without nba live 07, during installation erase the folder name "YOUR_MY DOCUMENTS. I think you installed it like this C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My documents\YOUR_MY DOCUMENTS which is wrong just remove the the folder " YOUR_MY DOCUMENTS DURING INSTALLTION I REPEAT (DURING INSTALLATION)

FORTHE 2ND PART, the second part, just used the default directory that jimmy put in the installtion: the default should be in C:\Program Files\EA Sports\nbalive07

do not install this way: C:\ Program files\EA Sports\NBalive07\nbalive07
without the additional nbalive07

and for the Game fix the instruction is much more the same except the first part sholud be in nbalive07 directory and the second part in my documents.. hope this would help..

Jimmy, You're the man!

Pointgods are now human! Players who are supposed to be scoring are scoring, no impossible runs, "under the basket dribbling until shot-clock runs down and throws a floater above 5 defenders and still make it the fact that he is a point guard ". I'll gonna post all of my scoring box as proof for those non-believers. :D But they have to wait. I'll accumulate more score boxes to strengthen the hype. hehehe. Everything is so REAL, that when you are losing the game, you will accept that it is your own fault!
You have to play by the game!

Anyway, hands down to Jimmy. NBA Live is finally worth my hard-fought money (NBA Live 07(orig) costs a fortune here!)

PS

To Jimmy
If I am only a gurl, I'll marry you!hehehe. anyway Jimmy, Why wouldn't you compete EA? Create an NBA title in the PC. Coz you're a god!

From ur big fan!

Sorry for bad english.

indiana vs philly

Mon Jan 15, 2007 11:23 pm

hey guys, have you tried playing indiana (home) vs philadelphia (away)?

whenever i'd chose to play these 2 teams, my nba live 07 crashes... i have jimmy's patch installed when this happened.. does this happen to you? can you guys try and see if this happens as well?

thanks!

Tue Jan 16, 2007 2:48 am

thx for taking the time les paul. i finally got it working.

Tue Jan 16, 2007 2:52 am

waiting for the update :mrgreen:

Tue Jan 16, 2007 6:41 am

Jimmy's gamefix 8.05 didnt help me to solve slightly reduced PG (I'd say now - small players') domination. Anyway, I'm playing against Dallas as the test team after installing every kind of pseudo-fixes and ajact.viv files, and noticed that during the game (starter, 6 min qrtr with subs) Terry, Harris and Howard make 15-20 shots each, and Nowicky, who is the biggest star among them, makes only 8-10 shots. So, whats the problem??? Why big men are playing so passive???
Will there be RIHGT fix some day that would enable players play according (in proportion) to their ratings, doesnt matter what positions players they are???

Tue Jan 16, 2007 7:01 am

Jimmy, I see that your fix works only with your rosters in use. So when will you update your rosters pach, 'cause, as I understodd your last roster pach is allready out of date by now, too many real changes were made.

both will be released in a week at the same time i think, not promise

and for the RIGHT fix?? it has already out since Version 8 of gamefix..

maybe you installed it wrongly or changed some slider setting that you should not

you may see the stat of my games and other ppl's games in this thread from the very beginning of version 8.0X till now....... --> RIGHT FIX already

my fix is NOT compatible with other fix/aiact.viv (i have tested~)

keep your installation clean......

Tue Jan 16, 2007 10:31 am

thanks jimmy fot the good patch, im one of the follower of your patch, I would say that your patch is sick :lol: :lol: , thats why im not giving up this game because of your great patch....Keep up the good work,, waiting for your update...

Tue Jan 16, 2007 9:48 pm

i was trying the patch today
i haven't played offline in a long long time, i'm actually trying the patch for online play
well, the pg domination is even worse
jarret jack was taking it to the rim every time, when he stopped, roy took over...
zach only took 2 shots in 2 games, both tipins
reboundiung is the same
and i have clean installation
the rosters are... well, let's say they're basing on yours, primacy rating wasn't changed as it's not important in online games

jimmy,

last night i took the default aiact.viv from NBA Live 06, exported the assignment.act, then imported the 06 assignment.act into the default aiact.viv of NBA Live 07. thats the only change.

Guess what, the PG/SG no longer drive to the basket as much as they did before, now a player only drives when he has an open lane. 07 now plays much more like 06 does. I don't have too much time to post some screen shots,etc or to support modidications to the aiact.viv, but i'm telling you because if you try it out, you might be surprised/like the results. good luck & thanks for all the worjk you've done.

Jimmy awesome patch I thank you very much BUT.

If you truly want to give us a perfect patch I believe you have to do these two things. I do believe you can do it and I am counting on you.

1) When I play player lock with the Lakers using Luke Walton I notice that Smush ALMOST ALWAYS on default brings the ball up the court. When in reality Kobe AND Odom bring the ball up the court Most of the time. Same holds as some other teams. If you can create a new version with the PG allowing other players to bring the ball up the court than I will be happy.

2a) Release the next version's' where we WONT have to start a new dynasty. At this rate by the time I finish a season due to new patch releases NBA Live 08 will be out.
2b) I watch a LOOOOOOOOOOT of BBall. There is a liiittle bit more ball movement in real NBA games not just catch and shoots so much. Though there is instances when there is good ball movement in your new version. Just not enough if your trying to simulate NBA realism.

Jimmy please take this post seriously. I and I believe others would agree that the above mentioned actions could make the PG fix perfect. Thanks a lot in advance. I love you for making my PC gaming nearly perfect. I wish you the best of luck Ill post more this ones my first.

How did you do this, what program used?

Sat Jan 20, 2007 12:25 am

I would like more AI zone defense, but the team with DPMAIN=2 never play zone. Can you fix it?

i would NOT do all the thing suit everyone's need....

i just do the realistic thing........in real world , nba use man-to-man more

I would like more AI Man-to-man

Sun Jan 21, 2007 3:28 pm

i am not sure somebody like Fliz or playmaker have ever post this before
but it took me a long time to find out this, anyway, here it is

DEFENSIVE PLAYBOOK
0. Full Court Man to Man
1. 3/4 Court man to man
2. half court man to man
3. man to man
4. 2-3 shifting zone
5. 2-3 trapping zone
6. 2-3 zone
7. 3-2 shifting zone
8. 3-2 zone (SF on top)
9. 3-2 trapping zone
10. 3-2 trap (SF on top)
11. 3-2 zone
12. 1-3-1 zone
13. 1-3-1 zone A
14. 1-3-1 trapping zone
15. Box and 1
16. Diamond and 1
17. Half Court Corner Trap
18. Half court trap
19. 2-2-1 half court trap
20. 2-2-1 full court press
21. 1-2-2 full court press
22. 1-2-2 full court press
23. 3-1-1 full court press
24. 1-3-1 zone A
25. Double team

===============
How to use??

Use a DBF editor like CDBF or DB commander to open teams.dbf in your save and put the number in the above list in the field "DPMAIN"

e.g. I put 25 in DPMAIN, then that team will use Double team as the default defensive strategy

==========================================
In my next update of gamefix, I will update the defensive strategies
of EACH TEAM!!

Sun Jan 21, 2007 5:24 pm

I like your AI patch, it works. However, there are few things that you might want to consider to fix:
1. CPU shoots way too well even with hands on their face. Even with three hands on their face. In comparison, User's players don't shoot as well. They will miss wide open shots when CPUs shoot like they are wide open when they are contested. I do not play easy defense at all. CPU's need to have bit lowered fg%. I had to lower the CPU shooting slider to 40 while mine is 48. Even then, CPU shoots .480 avg and I shoot around .400 range.
2. FT% was way too low and I fixed this by changing the game slider. I'm not talking about myself, the teams that gets simulated shoots FT less than 60%.
3. Can you fix the offensive rebounds? It is really hard to get rebounds. I think you can get the players to crash the board little more. I never beat a team in rebounds. Maybe you can do this by tweaking it in your roster, lowering the OR attribute a bit for every players.
4. I don't think 8-10 players subbing is a good idea. I've seen your screenshot and the computer manged to sub only 8-10 players but didn't play Juwan Howard? I will understand if the computer doesn't play their weakest player but not playing one of their starter for the whole game without any reason is not realistic at all. Smarter subbing please!
