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!

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.

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.

Progress Report on Current Rosters for NBA Live 2005-08

I know a fair few people are still waiting on the 2012/2013 season roster updates for NBA Live 2005, NBA Live 06, NBA Live 07 and NBA Live 08, so I wanted to give you all a quick status update. I had hoped to get the rosters out by the end of November, however that unfortunately proved to be unfeasible as a myriad of other things ultimately got in the way. I am therefore officially pushing them back at least a couple of weeks, however I am still working on them and intend to release them as soon as I possibly can.

To give you an idea of the current status, there are still players to create and some ratings I’d like to update, however all players who were in the league last season are on their correct teams, years pro have been updated and everyone who wasn’t a free agent this past offseason has up to date contract information. I’ll continue to get everything up to date in that regard in between my other responsibilities, however I do need help with current art updates. You can find a list of currently required art updates here in the Forum; please note I also need some help in converting jerseys for use with NBA Live 2005 and NBA Live 06, so if you can lend a hand there, that would also be appreciated.

Thank you once again for your continued patience and understanding. I hate to have to delay the rosters further but I do have matters that are more important and therefore must take precedent. A few people have gotten a bit antsy and I do appreciate your enthusiasm for the updates, however I must ask again that I not be pestered about the release as if the rosters do become too much of a chore, I’m going to have stop doing them. I’ll try to keep you all posted on the status of the updates in the coming weeks, as I get closer to a release.

File Additions for NBA Live 07

If you’re still playing NBA Live 07 PC you’ll want to check out our newest file addition, the latest version of BAYAG’s SUPERSTAR AIACT update. For those who are unaware, the aiact.viv file contains the game’s animations and BAYAG’s update seeks to enhance NBA Live 07 by adding and changing several moves. It should be compatible with the latest NLSC roster, as well as the one that will be coming out fairly soon, but be sure to make a backup of your aiact.viv file just in case. To give it a try, download it at the link below!

Update on Current Rosters for NBA Live 2005-08

Since the 2012/2013 NBA season is now underway, I thought I’d address the situation with the new roster updates for NBA Live 2005, NBA Live 06, NBA Live 07 and NBA Live 08 PC. First of all, yes, my intention is to get new updates out for those games, with the new rookies and all the other offseason transactions. While I was hoping I would be able to get the update out by opening night that isn’t going to be possible, however I am aiming to get them out by the end of November. Please understand that that’s as specific as I can be at this time and while I don’t anticipate delaying the rosters beyond that point, certain other responsibilities must take priority.

The upside to the later release is that it will allow me to ensure that there are more art updates ready to be included in the new rosters, as folks are still working on some courts, jerseys and faces for this season. It’ll also give me a few weeks of games to base the rotations on and tune ratings for the rookies, as I’ll have had an opportunity to see how they perform at the NBA level. In other words, the rosters should be much more accurate right off the bat.

In the meantime, I’ll probably release some small updates, such as a logo patch for the Charlotte Bobcats and a new version of Real Staff for NBA Live 06-08. If you’d like to help out with art for the rosters, once again the priority is courts, jerseys and some faces, along with conversions of art updates for NBA Live 2005 and NBA Live 06 (art files for 07 and 08 are interchangeable). Keep an eye on the Forum for an updated list of required art patches, coming soon.

Thanks again to everyone for your patience, support and understanding. Once again I ask that you please don’t pester me about the updates; I realise that the folks still playing those games are keen for new rosters but they are a bit of a chore at times and being hounded about them doesn’t help me get them out any quicker. Most folks have been very good about not bugging me about the rosters, which I definitely appreciate. Thank you once again, please stay tuned for more updates and if you can lend a hand with some art patches, please let me know!
