-Download this roster from PSN
-Go into MyLeague, select Custom League, then Season mode

Remember that the CPU will sign some FreeAgent to fill all the teams to 14 guys. So you can just delete and then sign all the "john smith" and then give them a season ending injury.
-Select the following 30 teams

97-98 Bulls
97-98 Lakers
97-98 Jazz
97-98 Spurs
97-98 Rockets (All-time Rockets spot)
97-98 Sonics (95-96 Sonics spot)

I'm doing one for the XBOX side although probably not to the extent
and detail that you're doing. If you got some good formulas for key
missing players please share.

Thanks

Can this be playable for more than one season?

You are awesome!!!!!

I love this season big time!!!! I can't wait for it!!! Thanks again my man!!!

GO HEAT!!!!


Question for you,

Ike Austin played 58 games for my Heaters before he was traded (Brent Barry came over that year but only appeared in 17 or 18 games). Will you keep Austin on the Heat for this roster?

[MJWizards]

Hi Armor, im going with end of Regular Season roster.
So, you will find Isaac Austin on the Clippers team.
This is why the Bulls dont have Jason Caffey on their roster for example. Caffey was traded to Golden State on february 19 for David Vaughn.

Really looking forward to it!
