NBA Live 95 Patch V2.0
by Lutz van Hasselt (willwink@pool.informatik.rwth-aachen.de)

This includes:
nbapatch.exe : Just copy that into your NBA directory and start it. You can 
                 still play the original by starting nba.exe. You can 
                 overwrite your old nbapatch.exe, if you have it
nba.doc      : Instructions how to change player data yourself              
readme.txt   : You are reading it.

This patch replaces:
- the first patch in which season play crashed
- the Bulls' Jud Buechler with Michael Jordan
- the Spurs' Howard Eisley with David Robinson
- the Suns' Trevor Ruffin with Charles Barkley
- the Suns' Antonio Lang with Richard Dumas 
- the Blazers' Steve Henson with Aaron McKie 
- the Kings' Alaa Abdelnaby with Henry Turner
- the Pacers' John Williams with Duane Ferrell 
- the Pistons' Johnny Dawkins with Negele Knight
- the Pistons' Rafael Addison with Ivano Newbill
- the Bucks' Aaron Williams with Tate George
- All-Star Center with David Robinson
- the 93-94 stats with 94-95 stats

In the first patch, season play crashed. That was because of changing the
portraits. Therefore, the portraits are not changed here, Micheal Jordan
still has Jud Buechler's portrait etc. This sucks! If someone finds a way to
get this right, please mail me.

Also, in the first patch, Luc Longley's skin color shifted from black to
white all the time. That was fixed, too.

Note: To avoid wrong names, some players have xxx as first name or last name
or even both. You'll know who it is all the same, I hope.

Make sure to get your starting lineup right, Jordan and the others are not
automatically in it.
    
Sorry about that mess with the names, but that compiler of EA Sports sure did
some strange things, so I can't change all the names properly. More precisely, 
the problem is duplicate names, so if I change Steve to Aaron, you'd have not 
only have Aaron McKie, but also Aaron Smith of Atlanta, Aaron Kerr of Chicago 
etc. I also had to abbreviate some of the names.

However, all 94-95 stats of the above mentioned players are included 
correctly, also their look, position, number, and height. I also gave them
skills I considered appropriate. I estimated some of the weights, though and
also could not seem to remember their college, it's correct for Barkley, 
Jordan and Robinson, I did not find anything to look up the rest.

             -  I interrupt this text to annoy you and   -
             - make things generally irritating for you. -

Some of the included skills do not seem to be up-to-date, some players made
vast improvements this season, so I changed a few numbers. 

Cedric Ceballos is still on the all-star team instead of Barkley, I could not
change this, unfortunately. All-Star Center is now named Robinson and has
and has all the correct skills and looks like Robinson, I could not change
his 93-94 stats, college, years pro, though.

Apart from the missing players Jordan, Robinson, Barkley, Dumas and McKie 
I only replaced players who are not at all with their teams anymore, I did 
not replace players who are currently on the IL or who get less playing time
than other players not included. 

Views on whom to replace with whom may differ, so just read nba.doc and make
all the changes you wish yourself.

Oh, yes, any resemblances to Suns forwards or Spurs centers dead or living are
purely coincidental and not at all intended to violate any fucking rights.

And now have fun with that cool game.
