If you're willing to do this I think lots of us would be very appreciative. I was just gonna update my team and play with last year's roster but this would be huge.

Consequently, does anyone have a roster with new teams, like Massachusetts Lowell?

Well. there is a way around this. I have a google spreadsheat (over 50 percent done) and adding the missing teams. The key is to keep the major conference in major conferences. for instance. ACC, Big East, Big 10, Big 12, Pac 12, SEC are listed as POWER conferences. You can say switch ACC into the Big East (and add 4 teams and make it work) and won't be no problem. Moving a team like North Carolina into the Big South might have an effect over a long period of time but not short term. Also, when I create the missing teams (out of classic teams, the first couple years, the created teams get solid recruiting and a couple are in the initial top 20 but that corrects itself very quickly and have not seen any gamebreaking things happen over a legacy.

My goal is ASAP but im looking around March Madness Time for whole project. Adding the teams is a breeze. If you must wanted that, could get that done in 2 weeks but if you wanted all the top players for each new team (that takes time) I created a rating scale but it can be time consuming how much you put into it. I was planning of putting the a few top players (prob 5) for each new team (add an extra year of eligibility for balance purposes) and adding some default players and making sure scholarship ratio was correct. In a four years anyways, you're using sim created players anyway.

Well this sounds fantastic. I'd go with focusing on the teams being correct and just having the top 5. That would be incredible

I recently did an overhaul of the conferences which took forever because of the swapping of entire conferences, editing historic teams to make them newer schools (Omaha, Seattle, Grand Canyon, etc.) and reconfiguring the conferences themselves (Penn State booted from B1G, Memphis added to SEC and etc.). Also added all the greats from historic and all conference rosters to current teams, which was interesting (David Robinson at Navy won POY two years in a row, averaged over 32ppg and 15rpg lol). So far i like the results better.

For example, the SEC. Ole Miss has never done anything in basketball so i kicked them to either the Sun Belt or CUSA (don’t remember, would have to go back and look). I moved South Carolina to the ACC (made sense with UNC and Clemson there as natural rivals). Added Louisville and Memphis, two strong basketball programs.

Hey is there anyway of moving teams around without swapping?
