This tutorial was written for NBA Live 07 but can be used with the following games:
The Guide
Let's say you want to create the 1987 Lakers:
- Open up the Teams.dbf in one of your saved rosters.
- Copy the whole line with the Lakers (team number 12)
- Create a new entry and paste the line you copied.
- Change the following values to these numbers
- Cityname ('87 Los Angeles)
- Teamnum 51 (since the last team in the dbf file is team number 50)
- Teamcode 13
- Seed 0
- Conference 2
- Division 6
This will make your team a custom team which you can only use in Play Now.
Adding players to your team
Let's add Magic Johnson to our team.
- Open the players.dbf
- Copy the line with Magic Johnson's player id (playerid 740)
- Create a new entry and paste the line you copied
- Open the appearance.dbf and search for appearid 740 and copy it.
- Add a new record and paste Magic's APPEARID.
- Change the APPEARID to 2383.
- Go back to players.dbf and change his playerid to the same number (2383)
- Keep creating players until you have at least 5 or the game will crash.
Adding the coach
- Open the Coaches.dbf
- Copy the line with Pat Riley add a new record then paste his info.
- Do not change his coachid...the coachid corresponds with his speech files.
- Go to the line that says team..and change it to our team number (which is 51)
Adding the jerseys
- Open up the teamgear.dbf and find the jersey files.
- For this tutorial i'm just going to use the default home /away jerseys instead of the retro 87 ones.
- Copy the home and away jerseys and add them to the dbf
- Change the id numbers 381 for Home and 382 for away
- Under jerseytype make sure it's set a 0 for home and 1 for away
That's pretty much it for creating a custom team.
