[paranoid66]

how to delete players(not created players) in dbf eg: kobe, tmac, et al...

coz i want to replace them with a whole league of created players...

thanx in advance

The easiest method of removing them from the active roster is to first release them into the Free Agents (so that you won't leave gaps in the roster slots on their respective teams) and then change their TEAM and CASH_TEAM to 32 (the Retired pool).

thank you very much man...

[paranoid66]

will the roster work if i use it in Dynasty Mode? coz i test the one with the players deleted, the game crashes after finishing training camp...

[Andrew]

Which program did you use to modify the players.dbf file?

[paranoid66]

DB Commander 2000 PRO, i just did what you said change TEAM and CASH_TEAM to 32

[Andrew]

When you've moved players to the Retired Pool, have you left any gaps on NBA teams? If so, that could be causing the crash.

[paranoid66]

no gaps on NBA teams, i put the the players into the free agent pool before i delete them, then their teams is filled with created players... do you think it's because of the created players' salary?

Is it possible to delete entire teams too, like the reebok teams for example?

no more help???

[Andrew]

It's likely a missing or invalid value somewhere. Make sure the created players have a salary entered and that the years remaining on their contract is at least 1.

I don't think so, at least I can't think of a way offhand.

Sorry, that's kind of like finding a needle in a haystack. Do you have any recent backups that work? If so, you might want to retrace your steps with the last few changes you made.
