@elwudl
thanks for the welcome greeting and addtional infos on the game

thanks and good day

@andrew
thanks !!!, but i do hope you could consider some of the points i've made, it kinda sucs when you see C.billups ave less than a stl per game in real life yet in LIVE06 he could make steals directly from you at a consistent rate, and when you see C.Bell shoots .400+ in real life and yet he can't make 3's even when left wide open

well as for nash..., i just noticed that he has aa rating of 85 or 86 in the All-Star line-up, kinda weird when has a 82 rating on the PHX line-up considering its under one season....

thanks and good day

[elwudl]

nash:
it's e.g. caused by the low defensive awareness andrew gave him (rightly). to create an overall 90+ player he needs nearly everywhere high ratings.

billups:
billups has such a high rating to be an outside stopper fss as far as I remember.

bell:
yeah andrew, perhaps here you could do something.

[Andrew]

As I started a dynasty with Magic I noticed that DeShawn Stevenson's FT rating is a bit low.

Although he was 55% from the line in 04/05, he improved to 75% in 05/06, so you might consider rising his FT rating from 55 to somewhere in the 70-s.

Cheers.

No problem, I'll fix that up.

Probably a couple of discrepencies in the ratings. I'll need to go over the All-Stars and Legends and make sure they all match up properly. I've probably forgotten to make a couple of adjustments for the Steve Nash on the Western All-Stars.

Bell I could probably look at, there might be a couple of ratings I can fix there.

i'm not sure if it has been mentioned before or doesn't seem right to you but i feel that some of the Bulls primacy ratings could be refigured. I've been simming a month or two of a Bulls dynasty and nocioni is just about averaging 10pts a game and he currently has a much lower primacy rating than Malik Allen when he should have a higher one
just a suggestion

[Andrew]

Thanks for the heads up. Primacy has been a real problem this year. It's one of the reasons I'll be finishing up with the rosters earlier this year because it's a real pest to deal with every release.

[Vaduoklis]

i can wait for 1.09 rosters

[elwudl]

The more you wait the better the roster will be!

[R.J.]

Please take Dijon Thompson off of the Phoenix roster. Thanks.

[Andrew]

i can wait for 1.09 rosters

You might be waiting a long time. There's a very good chance I'm done with the rosters for this year. I haven't decided yet.

Hey andrew, i tried addin the european players from the euroleague roster to this, but how come it doesnt load the game, i created the players and then copy n paste the player ratings, but whats probaly stuffin me up is the playerid/iscreated/generated stuff, i still dunno how to do it properly.

[Chronz]

Yeah I dont understand all this Primacy thing but it does mess with one of my dynasties, Odom is leading the league in scoring and won MVP while Wade and Kobe are both averaging under 20 a game. Nash and Chris Paul are also avg 20+ I suggest lowering theirs and see if it helps. Im sure you know more about the way the game works but what happens if a team has multiple high primacy players would it take shots away from Wade if Shaq and JWill primacy is too high. Maybe lowering his teammates rating would help his. Not sure though.

Could be one of many reasons, depending on how you edited the file. If you just opened it up in Excel and used copy and paste, you've almost certainly corrupted the files.

Yes, if the wrong players have a high Primacy rating the averages will be messed up. The problem is because it's recalculated when there's injuries and whatnot no matter how I set it in the default rosters if you play with injuries on, it's going to happen and get messed up.

Oh damn For reals? In that case is there a way to turn injuries off? Probably not huh

[Christopherson]

Yes there is a way to to injuries off, go to dynasty settings and turn simulation injuries off, and then turn your injury slider down to zero in order to eliminated in game injuries. However, the game seems to also recalculate primacy whenever transactions happen so..... basically it sucks donkey balls.

[Andrew]

Tell me about it. I really hope they fix that Primacy problem in NBA Live 07.

[Hoopwrecker3]

eyyy!...Andrew will there be a roster patch after the NBA DRAFT? will there be also cyberfaces with it!

JUST ASKING!

[Andrew]

You know I don't answer that question anymore. I've explained that to you before, quite a few times I might add, and repeatedly asked not to be pestered with that question...yet, you do so anyway and attempt to justify it by saying "just asking" when you've been asked explicitly not to ask it!

Sorry if it sounds like I'm being harsh, but in all fairness I have asked you several times and yet you persist despite my wishes and position on the matter (which I've explained frequently and at length). When I make a decision on the rosters and any future releases, I'll be sure to let everyone know and not a moment sooner. I ask that you please respect that. Thanks.

[Chronz]

Ok In my dynasty Wade avg 15ppg the 1st season, the following season JWill was traded and Payton was the starting PG and Wade avg 22ppg, Posey also increased to 19ppg. Does it meen Jwill was hogging?

[Andrew]

It just means that the Primacy has been recalculated and the scoring load has been redistributed accordingly.

[Hoopwrecker3]

Oh!...that part i miss!...sorry man!

[Andrew]

It's cool, thanks for understanding.

[Silas]

Hoopwrecker, Ole English is implementing a roster patch that allows you to put the prospects into your dynasty.

[Hoopwrecker3]

Thanks man!...but what i am looking for is the one with cyberfaces!

[Christopherson]

OleEnglish's patch will have cyberfaces and portraits for players; not all of them, just the ones that were given to him.

[Raps13]

Hey Andrew you might want to take a look at Luke Ridnour's primacy rating if you decide to do another patch. In my sim league and several other dynasties I've done he averages anywhere from 25-35ppg which is insane. Just a heads up buddy
