* Introduction -
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
Finally completing the NBA Live 2003 FAQ for the PC version I've made up my mind
to create one for the PS2 version as well. I couldn't say that I'm a NBA Live
master but my skill is fair enough. Anyway that isn't on our league so why
discuss it anyway the FAQ is basically composed of what you see in the content.
They're rather basic and the tips if not are already learned by you guys so I'll
just throw in some notes there. It's a pleasure to be of service again so let's
just move on!

May 4, 2003 (05.04.03) Final Version
------------------------------------
I guess this as a Final Version already is a great Idea as far as the guide/FAQ
is concerned people would merely need this I guess just for basis of current
rosters would be it. Overall the guide is very basic and would just supply you
with things that you possibly don't or has not yet discovered yet. So there!
May 7, 2003 (05.07.03) <8:37 AM> Just a Quick Update
----------------------------------------------------
I've declared the guide's last update but then again just to post the list
of website you could view this guide. I'ts listed just below the disclaimer
so go have a look. If the sire you've viewed this isn't on the list then
just report them to me and we'll make the move.

* 2003 Team Roster Update *
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
I'll simply be enumerating the Rosters that's listed according to when you check
their list on sign/release rosters. They're fairly straightforward as to the
legends just follow them and it'll be fine. Some rosters aren't present and it's
upto you whether you should create them or not. I won't be putting on how to
create them here though. To make things easier I suggest you start out with
Atlanta as the first team in order and simply release/sign rosters that's on the
list. If they're not on either parts just move on to the next team and do the
same. Once's you've completed till Washington start over and surely those
missing players are now listed in the FA. Just use a marker to not make things
confusing.

* Game Modes -
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
This part of the game would go deeper on the game modes option. I'll talk
about most of what's what here. Anyway here we go!
Exhibition Game
---------------
Exhibition Game is exactly the Play Now option. The only difference is it has
more options than the Play now mode. The options are like those when playing a
game under the season/playoff/franchise mode.
Season
------
In this mode you simply play right through the regular NBA season either with
the team of your choice or a fantasty draft. It's much like the regular season
have an All-Star Game, attempt for trades or sign-in free agents for help.
After the season, the season's MVP, Rookie of the Year, Most Defensive Player,
Sixth Man and the most improved player is given an award. A playoff will
follow afterwards. The only difference is the Season mode doesn't have net
points that has something to do with trading players. Remember taht if you
set the Fantasy Draft Option On you won't get to reset the rosters automatically
meaning that whatever trades happen here on certain teams the rosters will not
be reset back to it's original if you quit the season mode but it'll restore
back to default when you restart the game anyway.
Franchise
---------
The Franchise mode let's you play through the whole 25 NBA season with the
team of your choice or a fantasy draft again. Much like the season mode but
here you're the GM and either seal of trades as well, sign free agents or
scout for upcoming free agents. After every season the season's MVP, Rookie
of the Year, Most Defensive Player, Sixth Man and the most improved player
is given an award as well. After playing with the Playoffs you'll be prompted
to the offseasson part of the game where you can draft, resign, sign-free,
trade, view retiring players or draft lotteries. After which the next season
starts again. The Franchise mode makes player age, get better or stink.
Players improves through numbers and old players retires in a time so you
need a set of good rookies and veterans. Remember taht if you set the Fantasy
Draft Option On you won't get to reset the rosters automatically meaning that
whatever trades happen here on certain teams the rosters will not be reset
back to it's original if you quit the season mode but it'll restore
back to default when you restart the game anyway.
Playoffs
--------
This mode is the exact same playoffs you play Season or Franchise mode. The
only difference is you'll choose which team you want to be in the playoffs.
1 on 1
------
A one vs one game in the court of your choice. You could pick any player in
the league and match it up on any player as well.
Practice
--------
You can sharpen your skills here. You're alone in a gym and simply shoot
around and practice
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
* Create Player *
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Like the other guide I'll basically put up what the other stats are for.
All ratings differs depending on the combination of ratings. Let say you've
given a player a 99 in rebounding but just a 50 in jumping. This means that
he won't stand a chance against a player with a 50 rebounding and a 99
jumping same goes to shooting. A 99 FG could shot almost anywhere in the
court but with a low Off. Awareness makes him shoot pretty bad when guarded.
But a player with let say a 70 in FG and a 99 in Off. Awareness could pretty
much hit shot even when guarded. Basically, creating a player needs some key
points to be distributed to create a perfect one(I'm not talking about some
player who has maxed stats.)
Template - You could choose a pre-set rating of a player either a defensive
or an offensive one.
Field Goal - It's basically how well a player could hit a jumper from
anywhere in the court.
3 Pointers - A 85 rating here gives the player a 3pting Icon. This determines
how well a player could hit baskets from behind the arc.
Free Throw - This determines how slow the guage would be. The higher it is the
better you could time your shot on the free throw land.
Dunking - A 85 rating here gives the player a Dunking Icon. This determines
how hard and the intensity of your dunks. Note that some dunks are
customly for players so you won't see a created player dunk like
Kobe or T-Mac.
Inside Scoring - The higher the rating is the better he could make lay-ups
and the easier he could score from defenders beneath the rim.
Notice that MJ could always do those lay-ups despite the
fact that he has not much of a Dunking rating or a high
jumping rating. A player with a high rating here is great
on dealing easy baskets beneath the rim as well as easy
lay-up shots.
Off. Rebounds - It determines how well a player could crash the offensive
boards
Jumping - This gives the character the ability to either fly like MJ or jump
like a sumo-wrestler. Jumping affects almost a lot of aspects in
the rating.
Strength - The strenght determines how well you could post up and it also
affects some aspects of the game play.
Quickness - The quickness has some math behind it when pressing the turbo
button so I'll probably not go deeper with it. Quickness also
affects some roles like Blocking/Stealing or releasing the ball.
Speed - Basically the speed a player could run.
Passing - How well a player could pass it in the traffic. The higher it is
the less chance of getting an errant pass or a stolen ball.
Dribbling - It affects how fast a player could crossover and pivot. Also it
affects how a player could dribble the ball making a lesser chance
for the opposition to steal it.
Off. Awareness - A very mysterious part yet after experimenting I've revealed
what it does. It basically a player's athleticism. A higher
Off Awareness could shoot the ball better than anyone else
and It's the player's intensity in the game as well as his
offensive intelligence. A result of this gives the player
to automatically follow up a shot.
Def. Rebounds - Detemines how good a player could crash the defensive boards.
Stealing - A 85 rating here gives the player a Tight-Defender Icon. It renders
how well a player could steal the ball.
Blocking - A 85 rating here gives the player a Blocker Icon. It shows how
well a player could swat the ball.
Def. Awareness - A player's defensive intensity/intelligence. A higher
awareness means a greater defense. Def. Awareness touches
the rebounding portion as well. A higher rating here
automatically makes the palyer steal the ball or swat it
away as well as crashing the boards.
Endurance - Basically the stamina of the palyer.
Hardiness - The higher the rating the less chance of the player getting
injured and the lower it is the greater chance of him to keep
on getting injured.
Primacy - A vital role in the rating both offesively and defensively much
like off. and deff. awareness though this has something to do with
clutch shots. Primacy basically determines how good the player is
the higher it is the better level of playing he'll show.
