NCAA March Madness 09 News Post

Hi folks,

I saw that BehindShadows is planning on releasing a roster set as soon as he can finish up. Problem with that is he's going to be editing players attributes, looks, etc, as he goes along.

I've always been of the mindset that I prefer to use the rosters the way they came with the game. When you start editing attributes, inevitably, you're going to have a bias towards one team or another and the file won't come out the way it should.

We'll pass the roster file around using the EA Locker. It's important to note that under no circumstances should anything other than a player's name, his height/weight, race, or jersey number be edited. LEAVE THE ATTRIBUTES ALONE!

So...with that said, we need volunteers. Below is a list of all the conferences, along with whether or not they've been done, and by whom they've been edited. Rather than using their OS names, I'm using their gamertags instead so it'll be easier to get the file from, in the EA Locker.

While going through the CAA rosters on foxsports.com I noiced that 3 of the schools have Centers listed. In every other school it has every big man listed as a SF. Should I just leave their position the same if they are listed as a C and PF and it appears that is what they probably play?

ya sports junkie that is what ive been doing, fox sports doesnt have the positions right on many of the players, but just look at the hieght and weight, if it says there is a pg that is 6 foot 9 265 pds, hes obviously not a pg, just use your best judgement, we cant make a perfect roster since EA didnt give us that oppurtunity

I can go right now on the A10 if you guys prefer.
 
# 488 cdizzle @ 11/20/08 08:14 PM
I found #22 for Nova too, and added him. I noticed he was still just a jersey number..
 
# 489 Zprimetime2 @ 11/20/08 08:15 PM
sweet shadows let us know what conferences u are doing, and when u are starting so nobody else goes while your going, awesome we are getting close!!
 
# 490 cdizzle @ 11/20/08 08:16 PM
I had to adjust quite a few dudes for the Big Sky, EA is an idiot.
 
# 491 Behindshadows @ 11/20/08 08:20 PM
I'm doing Ohio Valley, Atlantic Sun and Ivy League

Working on the now!!! Be patient I'm doing 3 conferences at once...
 
# 492 HOFGame @ 11/20/08 08:38 PM
Quick note fellas. Atlantic Ten is done already in the file I just got from Cdizzle. Also, Im a KY fan. #33 Pilgrim is a redshirt. But he's also a black guy. The game has him a caucasian. And head #1166 is way more acurate to real life for Patrick Patterson.
Also, please don't hate cause I'm a UK fan. I can't help it, it's in the blood here in the state of Ky.

Question, how can I download the file?

My GT is TheTuchMan

If anyone can hook me up that would be great I dont care if its not 100% done yet!
 
# 494 dubbduces @ 11/20/08 08:53 PM
good stuffguys let me knw if you need anything else done and terps do you have the latest file?
 
# 495 sportsjunkie21 @ 11/20/08 08:55 PM
Alright I have double checked the CAA rosters on paper and I have several guys that are listed in the game but I can't find them on any rosters out there. What should I do in this case? Should I just make up a generic name?
 
# 496 Zprimetime2 @ 11/20/08 09:02 PM
ya dub i got the latest file, its called updated14 i think, whatever the bigger number at the end of updated is, is the latest one.

Sports junkie: if u come to a point where u cant find any player to replace a player with a different number or anything, just leave it as is, and then at the end whoever wants to go through and figure out all that stuff can, but right now were just trying to get this finished so dont sit and look up one player for 30 mins, just move on and we will get it later.
 
# 497 mattpu01 @ 11/20/08 09:03 PM
Alright guys, where we at? I said I would do Horizon and MVC after 9:00. Give me a status
 
# 498 Zprimetime2 @ 11/20/08 09:06 PM

# 499 sportsjunkie21 @ 11/20/08 09:07 PM
I am ready to go with the CAA just let me know when to go.

gt sportsjunkey21
 
# 500 Zprimetime2 @ 11/20/08 09:10 PM
alright well after b shawdow then either sports junkie or Matt is up, its up to you guys to figure that one out, either way we should try and get it done tonight if at all possible, i am going to do the southern conference at some point tonight when there is an opening. but ya u two just figure out whos next. my guess is shawdow wont be done for a while though if hes doing 3 conferences.
