Lmamone's 2006-07 with player stats

[antigravity]

Hey guys... did this for myself, so I might aswell post it here for you all too.

I added:

- the historical data included in Speedy's roster
- reduced the ratings of the some free agents (so that you don't get players like Calbert Cheaney or PJ Ramos starting for Championship teams)
- corrected the Steve Francis' contract error.
- added the previous champions for the almanac since 1979
- added already retired jerseys.
- fixed player positions
- increased the ratings for some improved player (ie. Monta Ellis)

Was going to reduce rebounding ratings, but then the generated rookies will have a rebounding advantage when they come into the league.

Just remember, this roster was based on LMamone's original roster! :D

Here it is:

the rebounding "problem" isn´t to be solved with tweaking the ratings, the problem is more the number of rebounds and/or a lack of teamrebounds.

Lowering the ratings wouldn´t change a thing, cause unlike with other stats : Someone has to get the rebound, no matter if you have the ratings going from 30-100 or 30-80 .

[LMamone]

Nice work, AG!:)
About the rebounds:It seems that all you need to do to get players grab 10 rpg or more, regardless of ratings, is to put him to play the center.So you may have a player with 2 in both off. and def. rebs, and he will be a 10 rpg player as center.But move that same player on PF, and his rebounding will take a serious hit.If he plays PF, he'll need atleast 5 and 6(in ratings) to get 10 boards.
So the problem, along with lack of team rebounds, is that a rebounding margin between PF and C is too big.It seems like a game looks at a player position first, then ratings later on.That really causes problems when you have versatile big with good jumper and/or three ala Okur or Bargnani.
Also it kinda looks akward to see that most of the centers around the league need to have their rebounding lowered to 2 or 3, in order to prevent the "Dennis Rodman" effect.And most of the rookies tend to average big time reb. numbers as well, therefore negating/diminishing the value of good or great rebounders.

I thought that might be the case also... If I reduce everyone's ratings, they'll still be as good (in comparison)... And yeah, it wouldn't fix the team rebounds issue.

To use these Rosters you have to use a 32 team league.
Las Vegas Acres are the Las Vegas Eastern Conference All-Stars and the O. City Twisters are the Las Vegas Western Conference All-Stars! They both play at the Thomas and Mack Center in today's Update. Does MDB Viewer Plus allow to add Players tbecause I don't see a button for select all and if their was then I could add 95-96 Players and Coaches as Free Agents to my League! Also going to try and re do the South and Atlantic Division?
What Eastern Conference team should I swap the Eastern Confernce All-Stars with?

The problem, as a whole, can't be solved by tweaking player ratings. On that, we agree. But lowering the ratings DOES have an impact on the top guys. I've maxed out the best rebounders at 65 and it has consistently dropped the top finishers in my simmed seasons an average of 1-2 boards per game. It has improved things so much that I no longer care all that much about the issue one way or the other, and it used to REALLY bother me.

[haveband]

how did you all get these to work... I keep getting rte 3021 when using this

[antigravity]

When are you getting the RTE?

Also, have you deleted the DDSPB exe file and installed the latest patch?

I'm running beta patch 1.1.2 and it works fine, every time.

[antigravity]

Also which update are you talking about? My one, or MGSports?

[mgsports]

Mine doesn't get that error he's reporting it's Run Time Error 76 file not found eithen for 30 team league when I just replaced O. City Twisters with the Eastern Conference All-Stars Roster and Las Vegas Aces with the Western Conference All-Stars Roster in the 32 team league format. Have you messed up with the Divisions by chance that probley why you might be getting that error?

[JHopkins19]

I am getting a RTE 53 right when I try to sim the first game and it says that the losangeles.gif is not available.

Any idea how to fix or what I am doing wrong?

[LMamone]

Go to graphics folder and rename all files in courts, jerseys, banners and logos folders related to Clippers, Lakers and Warriors from:
1.losangelesr to losangelesc
2.losangelesw to losangelesl
3.oakland to goldenstate

I am getting the error when I try and sim a day past Wed, October 4, 2006.

[Bullseye]

I really like this one =D

but there is still somethin wrong with the data - the players all have 0s at the last 2 years in the GS field - you might need to look into that

[antigravity]

Here's an updated version. I've fixed the way the teams were written (ie. Sonics are now SuperSonics... Blazers now Trailblazers... this matches with what DDSPB adds to the player history), fixed some player positions, and increased the ratings for some improved player (ie. Monta Ellis, Kevin Martin)

http://rapidshare.com/files/18685098/s_200607.mdb.html

GS is 'Games Started'. Its hard to find that statistic for every player, and it's not an important statistic, so it's been left out.

I will have to start a new game then and try to be successful with the Wolves, which isn't easy with 3 PGs with contracts of 5+ mil each and trying to deal them.

Also about the Games Started. I know it's not an important stat at all, but if you go to NBA.com it lists how many games they started by year. But it doesn't matter to me.

I know I sound like a tool here, but how do I actually go about importing this roster?

[Raven]

Put the database file in your imports folder. Start up a new league, and check import rosters in the general setup.

Hope this helps!

[ezpkns34]

Thanks Raven....I had origianlly put it in the ddspb fikder and tried to import the roster, but when I couldn't I minimized the game and switched the database to different folders, didn't know it had to be in the right folder at the beginning

good work on the roster also, although I'm willing to wager that rookie Jorge Garbosa doesn't have 8 bird years, but still very good

[spacer99]

Is there a copy of this roster set or another that is from the beginning of the season?

[mgsports]

Any way to use this for the start of the season because I would like to start in 07 Offseason with 07 Draft Class File as the Players available for the Draft or 06 Offseason meaning Fictional Players or past Draft Class File for the up and coming Draft meaning so I can go throu the Free-Agent period with my team the Las Vegas Aces-Kansas City Penguins.
If you wnat to have Depth at each Postion you make every Player on your can play every Postions because that what I'm doing.

[ezpkns34]

Is there any way to use antigravity's roster and still do a fantasy draft at the beginning?

[mgsports]

You would have to change the S in front the word to P then you can do a Fantasy Draft with this league also if change the letter to P and don't select Fantasy Draft you would probley get the Free-Agent Period,Rennouce Rights,College Draft,Coaches Hiring and so on.

[ezpkns34]

thanks mgsports! will try it out later to see how it works out in regards to free agency and also draft-wise

[mgsports]

If it works for you then maybe try a 32 team and take control Ok City or Las Vegas and see who you sign in the Free Agent Period and also see who Draft in the College Draft and post the Results or the save game for people to download.

[JoeMimic]

There are a few people who should be deleted from your roster; Keon Clark probably won't ever play again. John Amaechi is retired and so is Nick Van Exel. I can remove them myself from my game but I thought it would be good for future versions. I just can't see these coming back to the NBA let alone playing in the NBDL.

[diesel_478]

hey, i read on a previous post that you should put this into the imports folder. i did that and tried to import it when i started a new game but when i click on import roster, the box comes up but there arent any choices there for me to select. am i doing it correctly?

lol you're right... would be interesting to see Amaechi play again.

I'll update it, but i have to be careful to keep the minimum amount of players in the database.

[bdemz]

What am I doing wrong?

I created a new league with the roster file (32 team league). I took over the Aces with no players. I try to sign a free agent and it RTE's

How are you supposed to fille up the teams (Oklahoma and LV)?

Thanks

[JoeMimic]

I'd just make up some fake guys who will play in the NBDL for awhile with no potential.

[Icy]

After not playing the game for a long time i'm going to give it a new shoot.
Is this roster set fully compatible with the latest patch? any known crashes or bugs?

[Jordan7182002]

I am having trouble using this roster with version 1.3. RTEs all over.

[Eyalc]

Same with me. Version 1.3.

Are there any roster mods that work?

Yea I'm having the same problem. I've done the "p" in front of the file so you can do the college draft but when it starts to make the Mock Draft it crashes and I've tried it with the "s" in front of the file and it starts you where you have to assign players to the dleague but you don't have any players on your team so you try to sign a free agent and it crashes..

anyone know how to get this to work?

[nepg]

Whenever I try to import the draft, I get a 3024 error.

OK, fixed that one (draft file wasn't in save folder), but now I get 91's. So I guess this roster .mdb is just garbage right now?

[Mamba81]

Hello,

I am trying to start a game with this roster, but when it comes draft time it crashes with a RTE 3021 error. I have a draft file in my saves file aswell. Does anyone know what the trouble could be?
