NBA Live '96 Sega Genesis Rom Modification.
[FEATURES]
Player Modifications:
• All players renamed/replaced with current NBA players for 2014-2015 season based on ratings/skillsets (i.e. Jordan became LeBron)
• Player numbers and appearances updated
NOTE: Players have NOT been re-rated. I was aiming more to keep the classic game play than to make the ratings the same as NBA 2k15.
Roster Modifications:
• All teams with 12 current players
• Depth charts based on information from nba.com and realgm.com
• Rosters updated through 3/1/2015 in v1.1
• All-Star teams updated with 2014-2015 rosters in v1.1
Team Modifications:
• All team names, cities and stadium names updated
• New Orleans Pelicans replace Custom Blockers
• Rookies, Sophomores and Prospects teams replace Custom Jammers, Slammers and Stealers
Palette/Color Modifications:
• All team jersey colors updated
• All court colors updated
NOTE: Updating actual on-court logos requires editing the rom's graphics and is not part of this modification.
Known Issues and Future Releases:
• Stat tracking during seasons is currently messed up. I'm assuming this has to do with some of the unknown "?" stats and ratings in the editor I used. I will try to figure this out for the next release
• I've been able to find where the team logos (in the menu screens) and the player head graphics are stored. I'm figuring out how to edit them. So far no luck finding the center court logos.
Instructions:
This hack is meant to be played with a special save file, which can be downloaded below. You will need to cut/paste it into the directory listed below on your computer.
The save file contains information such as depth chart moves and player trades, Grizzlies/Raptors rosters, custom team rosters, and season/playoff save information. If the file does not load correctly you will be prompted to go through the expansion draft prior to playing or editing rosters and Pelicans players will be scattered across several teams.
