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.

When did Shadows start? If he's doing 3 someone give me an idea when he will be done? Maybe I can give him a break after he gets 1 or 2 done? Otherwise if its gonna be too late, I may not be able todo any tonight.

Terps, I would love to see the Wolverines get the Bruins! Manny better go off!
 
# 503 mattpu01 @ 11/20/08 09:14 PM
If anyone is on Live and has Shadows G/T ask him if he wants me to give him a break at some point.
 
# 504 mattpu01 @ 11/20/08 09:29 PM
Alright, I will be around, probably on Live screwing around so just message me
(smoke20smoke) if I need to do the Horizon and MVC.
 
# 505 Behindshadows @ 11/20/08 09:31 PM
Don't need a break! I'm good.

Atlantic Sun is complete!

Moving to Ivy League...they only have around 8 schools. So it won't be much longer....

Here's an impression: Buy the damn game already!!!

If you like 2k CH series you'll love this game!

It's better in many ways only ways it's lacking is feature wise. But gameplay and everything including Dynasty mode is great.


UPDATE - Guys I'm midway through the Ivy League and then I'll be moving to the OVC
 
# 509 big game @ 11/20/08 10:09 PM

Okay you win. Gonna sneak out the house real quick like and go over to WalMart and pick it up. The Wifey is sick with the Flu, 'Bless her little soul" but this game is calling me and reading these threads do not help. thanks BS.
 
# 512 sgtspit @ 11/20/08 10:28 PM
yeah i just went for it and bought it about ten mins ago.this game is sick.Im down with some roster making.I`ll start on the big east.
 
# 513 sportsjunkie21 @ 11/20/08 10:36 PM
You might want to read the other 50 something pages because most of the conferences are done already. We are finishing up the smaller ones now.
 
# 514 orthostud23 @ 11/20/08 10:40 PM
Thanks to all the OS'rs making these rosters. I am not a huge BBALL fan but when I do watch it I do prefer the College game just for the excitement value. Looking forward to getting this game tomorrow and using these rosters!! Thanks again folks!
 
# 515 songa @ 11/20/08 10:40 PM
thanks again guys, and sorry i couldnt help in any way. but please, once the rosters are completed, please list your gamertag so we know who to look for in EA Locker. also, it would also be a great help if everyone could try to use the same filename for their roster file, so we can just go into EA Locker and look for the filename instead of someones GT!
 
# 516 sgtspit @ 11/20/08 10:43 PM
ok,i`ll hold off on the east
 
# 517 HOFGame @ 11/20/08 10:44 PM
It's not looking good for me tonight fellas. I am getting sleepy. If you still need help tommorrow I can help. Maybe we can do the all time rosters eventually. (I think it will have to be patched) Hopefully Terp can hook me up with the finished product tommorrow night if it is done.

Any updates from shadow and Matts gamertag that he listed doesn't exist so I am not sure if he is still going next or not

about to finish up the Ivy League - on the final team now....

then I'll take a break and then finish the OVC. And I'll PM you when I'm done...

I will not make it much longer. i don't have class until 11am so when I will do the CAA at 8:00am eastern time. Most of the changes are to height and weight so it is an easy conference to do. If someone wants to do it tonight be my guest. If for some reason I cant get the most recent copy tomorrow morning then someone else will have to do the CAA because I will not be home from 10:15 till probably 10 pm. Like I said it is an easy conference to do just watch out for the following teams:
the first number is the game number and the second the actual number
-Deleware- 14 is 41, 10 is 0
-JMU is a mess but this is what I got 54 is 11, 50 is 32, 5 is 34, and 53 is 40.
-Towson is a little tricky but I know 5 is 1
-VCU 32 is 0

There are a few other things that you will notice whoever does them but also some teams the heights and weights are off for everyone while others are exact. i used foxsprts.com for the rosters.
