2012/2013 Rosters for NBA Live 2005-08 Released

Yes, the long wait is finally over! My 2012/2013 roster updates for NBA Live 2005, NBA Live 06, NBA Live 07 and NBA Live 08 are out now and can be downloaded at the links below. Please note that the rosters are accurate as of March 31st, 2013 and thus do not include a couple of minor transactions that have occurred in the past couple of days. There will be a follow-up release within the next couple of weeks or so and possibly a couple during the Playoffs. As for continuing the rosters beyond this season, I’m still undecided for the moment, but I’ll keep everyone informed of my decision and future arrangements.

For now, you can pick up the new rosters at the links below:

I’ll need to repack the 06 update as it’s missing Mike Krzyzewski’s face. For now, simply download this pack and extract the files to your sgsm folder. A huge thanks once again to everyone for your patience, as well as the talented patchers who have helped out by contributing  so many fantastic art updates. Please enjoy the rosters!

File Additions for NBA Live 06

Here is another court conversion for NBA Live 06 by Dc311, namely fdlk0501’s 2012/2013 Portland Trail Blazers update. As with the version for NBA Live 2005, this should be the last standalone release before the new rosters come out. The rosters for NBA Live 08 and NBA Live 07 are finished and ready to release, the NBA Live 06 conversion is almost done and the NBA Live 2005 update should also be completed very soon, so I’m hoping to have them all out within the next day or so. Worst case scenario, the 2005 update may be out a day later than the rest but we’re definitely in the home stretch. For now, pick up the Blazers court at the link below!

2012/2013 Rosters for NBA Live 2005-08 Just A Few Days Away

We’re well and truly in the final countdown to the release of the current roster updates for NBA Live 2005, NBA Live 06, NBA Live 07 and NBA Live 08. It will be a few more days until they are out but I’m basically down to polishing up some final details, making sure that everything is in place, finishing up the conversions and compiling all of the updates.

To put it in perspective, the NBA Live 08 roster is basically in a state where it could be released, but for the sake of quality control I’d like to spend a little more time updating some ratings and double-checking for errors. Depending on whether I run into any delays finishing up the conversions, I may stagger the releases with the update for NBA Live 08 coming out first and rest a day or so later, but at this time I’m looking at releasing all the updates at once sometime within the next few days.

Thanks again to everyone for their patience and support; we’re almost there!

Lindsey Hunter Coach Face & New Real Staff Updates Released

As I get closer to being able to release the new roster updates for NBA Live 2005-08, I’ve created a couple of small updates that I’m making available as standalone releases. The first is a coach face update for Lindsey Hunter, interim coach of the Phoenix Suns, converted from his default player face for NBA Live 08. I’ve also created new versions of the Real Staff updates for NBA Live 06-08, which add the names and attributes of real NBA assistants, trainers and scouts to a Dynasty game. Download them all at the links below!

Status Report for the 2012/2013 Roster Updates (NBA Live 2005-08)

As we’re getting to the end of March, I thought I’d give everyone another status report on the 2012/2013 roster updates for NBA Live 2005, NBA Live 06, NBA Live 07 and NBA Live 08. Right now, everything is on track and things are looking good for a release by the end of this week. Yes, at long last!

Right now, everyone who needs to be in the roster is in the roster, all teams including the All-Stars and Rising Stars Challenge squads have been updated and it’s just a matter of updating the lineups for all 30 NBA teams to be as recent as possible when the roster is finalised, compiled and released. Right now I’m updating ratings and salaries, placing art files and polishing a few things up to complete the update for NBA Live 08. After that, I’ll complete the conversions for NBA Live 2005-07 and everything will be ready to go.

Thank you again to everyone for your patience. These rosters are coming out much later than I anticipated and would’ve liked, but your support and the fantastic work of the art patchers in our community has encouraged me to get them done. A huge thanks once again to everyone who has contributed art for the new rosters, it is very much appreciated. As I mentioned in my previous status report, I don’t know whether I’ll be continuing the rosters next season but I’m hoping that this release will be worth the wait. For those who missed the previous post, the new rosters will contain a bonus in the form of updated Team USA, Dream Team and Dream Team III rosters, all with correct jerseys.

Once again, look out for the new rosters to be available by the end of the week. In the meantime, I’ll probably release a couple of smaller updates including new versions of Real Staff 13.

File Additions for NBA Live 06

Here are the latest releases for NBA Live 06 from Dc311. Today’s additions are conversions of Hiiipower’s 2012/2013 court updates for the Phoenix Suns and Cleveland Cavaliers, originally made for NBA Live 08. Look out for them in the upcoming rosters, but get them into your game today by downloading them at the links below. As I mentioned in yesterday’s additions for NBA Live 2005, you should notice an obvious improvement with the Cavs’ court as the one I’ve been using in the roster updates has a couple of texture errors, while this conversion is spot on.

The Friday Five: 5 Players You Had To Have in NBA Live

It’s Friday once again, so welcome everyone to this week’s edition of The Friday Five! For the uninitiated, this is a weekly feature that I post on Fridays, discussing a variety of topics related to basketball video games, the real NBA and other areas of interest. The “Five” refers to the way in which I present my thoughts on the week’s topic, which either takes the form of a list of five items or a Top 5 countdown.

Over the years, I’ve spent a lot of time with NBA Live’s Dynasty and Franchise modes, building plenty of teams and in the process getting a feel for some of the best players to acquire in different iterations of the game. Therefore, this week I’m listing the five players that I believe you had to have at some point while playing through a Franchise or Dynasty game.

File Additions for NBA Live 06

Dc311 continues to convert art updates for use with NBA Live 06, which make up today’s additions for the game. Once again, don’t forget that 2012/2013 season roster updates for NBA Live 2005, NBA Live 06, NBA Live 07 and NBA Live 08 are on the way, but I certainly recommend picking up these updates in the meantime. Don’t forget that some of these files for NBA Live 06 are also compatible with NBA Live 2005, so be sure to check out the file descriptions for more info on that.

Latest Update on 2012/2013 Rosters for NBA Live 2005-08

As we now find ourselves in March, I wanted to give everyone an update on the status of the 2012/2013 rosters for NBA Live 2005, NBA Live 06, NBA Live 07 and NBA Live 08. Yes, they are still coming out and yes, the release is getting closer. With the amount of work I’ve been able to get done on them recently I’m hoping to have them out within the next couple of weeks, or by the end of March at the latest.

Once again, I’d like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding, as most of you have been very good about not pestering me about the release. The reason they are taking so long is that other things have simply gotten in the way: my day job, personal life and other responsibilities here at the NLSC to name a few. Feeling somewhat burned out on making roster updates having been doing them for close to 15 years now, I’ve also found it difficult at times to get motivated to work on the rosters when I have had the time to spare.

However, progress is being made and everything is starting to come together, so I’m looking forward to getting the rosters out. To be honest, I’m not sure if I will be doing the rosters beyond this season but I do want to release a 2012/2013 update as thanks for all the support over the years and to make use of all the great current season art updates that the community has been producing for the last few PC releases. Whether or not this is the last hurrah, I want to give you a really good update.

To that end, I’ve arranged for a little bonus content. I’ve updated Team USA and thanks to Dc311 and bayag, you’ll be able to settle the 1992 vs 2012 debate with accurate teams with their correct jerseys and retro faces. The 1996 team is also still in the roster and will have correct art as well. These three teams will be appearing in all of the updates, not just the rosters for NBA Live 08. I’ll see if I can include a few other extras before finishing up the rosters for release, just to give you all something extra for your support and patience.

Once again, look out for the release coming by the end of March at the latest (but hopefully within the next couple of weeks), and in the meantime check out some teaser images of the 1992, 1996 and 2012 USA teams below.

Real Staff 13 Updates for NBA Live 06-08

I’m still working on the current rosters for NBA Live 2005, NBA Live 06, NBA Live 07 and NBA Live 08, but in the meantime I wanted to release another small update for the new season, namely new Real Staff updates. For those who are unfamiliar with the Real Staff updates, they are batch files that automatically update the names and attributes of the staff you’ve hired in Dynasty Mode with real assistants, trainers and scouts for each team. The updates are only available for NBA Live 06, NBA Live 07 and NBA Live 08, being the only three PC releases to feature staff hiring in Dynasty Mode. Pick them up at the links below, and stay tuned for more details on the current rosters, coming soon.

New Charlotte Bobcats Logos & Team Logo Bootups (NBA Live 2005-08)

As I mentioned in my most recent bulletin on the current roster updates for NBA Live 2005, NBA Live 06, NBA Live 07 and NBA Live 08, I have had to delay them for at least a couple of weeks but I am still working on them and intend on releasing them as soon as I possibly can. In the meantime, I have updated my NBA Team Logos Bootup Screen patches and released new logo updates for the Charlotte Bobcats, which you can download at the links below. These updates will also be included in the new rosters once they are released, but I’m making them available as standalone releases in case you’d like to use them in the meantime.
