I’ve released a new beta version of my Ultimate Jordan Roster for NBA Live 08, a project that I intend to convert for use with NBA Live 2005, 06 and 07 once it’s done. We’re still a ways off from that, but the latest beta release does add a lot of missing faces and corrects some team art. Release notes of Beta V2 are as follows:
- Several inaccurate team art updates corrected. A couple of teams are using slightly inaccurate art (ie. a logo or jersey that’s a year or two off the correct season), but for now they’re close approximations, and they’ll be updated as soon as possible.
- All but three players currently included in the roster have real faces and portraits. Adrian Dantley and Brad Sellers have real portraits and placeholder faces, while Ennis Whatley has a placeholder face and no portrait.
- Player bio data, ratings, teamgear.dbf assignments, and shoes still need to be fixed.
- No new players have been added in this release, but all teams still have a playable roster with at least eight players, including all of their regular starters.
- Active and recently active players included in the roster (ie. players from the 2002 and 2003 teams) have retro faces and portraits. They use different filenames, so as not to interfere with recent season rosters.
A big thanks goes out to BAYAG once again, for sending along some more art updates, and pointing me in the direction of some others!
