1. Back-up your nbalive08.exe
2. Open your game.exe using any Hex-editing program.
3. Find the text-string Judges
You'll see there the names of the judges in the game and their judges package.
You'll just need to edit it with the ones you like. Just remember the names of the judges has limits
You can only place the names with the same length or shorter than the judges' names.
4. Save it.
And another thing, You can't change Vince Carter's name in the game. I don't know why. But it's not in the game exe.

Start-Up team:
If you want to change the start-team in your game. Here's what you need to do.
1. Back-up your nbalive08.exe
2. Open your game.exe using any Hex-editing program.
3. Find the text-string Spurs or Cavaliers
You'll notice this one there " TEAMNAME = 'Spurs' .... TEAMNAME = 'Cavaliers'. " (without the quotes)
Note if the teamname of the team you want have more letters than Spurs or Cavaliers. You can adjust it like this:
" TEAMNAME = 'Mixers'... TEAMNAME ='Elasto Painters'. " (again without the quotes)
As you can notice, in the there are 4 dots/periods here " TEAMNAME = 'Spurs' ...." but this has only 3 " TEAMNAME = 'Mixers'..."
And you'll also see that there are spaces on it. You can type on that spaces like I did on the "Cavaliers" into "Elasto Painters"
TEAMNAME = 'Cavaliers'.
TEAMNAME ='Elasto Painters'.
4. Save it.

and paul lee's id to 1121. Now there are two 350 and 1121 on the playerid. Make the original 350 into 99 and 1121 into 266.
And you're done.

Edit:
NoTe:
If you are using both DB Commander and NBA Live Editor you should always remember to do this.
On the start up 1on1, 3pt shootout and Slamdunk contest, you should also swap the appearanceid, why? So that even if you use the NBA Live Editor you can edit the correct player.
