v1.04 released...

Discussion about NBA Live 2004.

Unless they've changed the rules for statisticians, missed field goal attempts are not counted if there's a foul. However, if the shot is good and the player is fouled, a successful field goal attempt is recorded.

so please. watch the gamesbeing played before dissing anyone else aight?
peace out.


ditto, did you watch the game last night? I know Yao was the big story but Stevie hit 9-11 from the floor and 1-2 from the 3 point arc. He's not over rated, just having a down year stat wise in JVG's system. He can still score at will, but he's finally learning how to be a point guard too. Please leave his rankings alone.

Andrew, I had a couple of suggestions for 1.05:

- Silas has started playing LeBron on the wing, so could we see him as a sg/sf instead of a pg. i always change this before i play anyways.

- I'm not sure who else this applies to, but could you set Paul Pierce's headband and arm band to team colours instead of green. It looks cool but the minute he's trade away from the celtics he looks like a goof.

3 pointers are too easy I think. At least if you play on superstar. A good 3p shooter will score even if he's guarded by a taller player.

I've been wondering about LeBron. I'll move him to shooting guard, with McInnis at the point. (Y) I'll fix Pierce's gear too.

Are you using my sliders? If so, I suggest turning the long range slider down a little. This is a more acceptable solution than reducing everyone's three point rating (though some players probably do need their rating reduced - suggestions most welcome).

v1.05 will be released February 20th or February 21st, after the trade deadline. As I'm in Australia, the trade deadline won't have passed until February 20th here.

Andrew, you make a great roster but can you improve Stephon Marbury's shooting. He is a much better shooter than he is rated as.

No, just an update after the trade deadline. Updates will continue beyond v1.05.

How about uping Speedy Claxton's FG, Assists, and Steals ratings a bit.

He's been tearing it up ever since he's became a starter.

Just beacause he was MVP last season dosen't make him the best player or MVP this season. Kevin Garnet should be ranked nr 1 in the league, his stats are crazy!!

Ratings such as dribbling and passing can really boost a player's overall rating, which is why Kobe is rated as he is. But I could bump some his ratings down a little.

I'm almost sure that a few points in one direction won't change the game.

How are the overall ratings calculated. Is it just a simple average of all the categories or is there a different systm for centers, guards...?

I don't think all the ratings are calculated equally, but it's basically an average of the ratings. I couldn't tell you the exact formula; I've got a feeling a couple of ratings might also be calculated differently for big men.

Please do not post four times in a row. It is unnecessary to make four seperate posts. Please edit your original post wherever possible. Thank you.

Why wasn't it be released today?


It wasn't released February 20th (February 20th my time) as I was simply too tired when I got home from work. Rather than rushing the update, I allowed an extra day so that I could fix all the reported errors and make sure the lineups were up to date.
