02:07 PM - November 18, 2008 by TJdaSportsGuy

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.

Well is it ok since your the only person talking to me at the moment if i get the rosters from you?

you got it diehard, i just want to make sure you know how to do it is all. not the editing part but the downloading from whoever has the latest roster, then editing off of that, then saving it to your hard drive, and then uploading it to your locker, where everyone can access it. if u know how to do all of that than i dont have a problem, i just dont want to have a mess up this late in the process ya know? if your comfortable with everything then u can do the colonial after im done with the southern. so youll be up in like 3 hrs or so, is that cool with you? and just so u know you have to add me as a freind to get the roster file out of my locker when im finished with the southern so u have the latest file.

ya brave its cool i just listed my GT and the filename its under about 5 posts above this.

Terps and all who organized and entered names - Great work! It's been a pleasure monitoring your work through this thread.

Perhaps when the final conference is finished a new thread can be created where everyone can post any mispellings, position changes, etc. Also a list of gamertags of those with the final set could be given that would be willing to extend "friend requests" to others wanting the roster.

I have been working feverishly on figuring a way to bypass the censor trip by looking at Heelfan's initial set of ACC edits. But it's highly possible that there are strings of text that could trigger the censor that we could not even imagine....and now that so many conferences have been done, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Therefore, the friends requests may be a necessity.

Again, I am very impressed -- so many of those that worked on the set seem new to OS. Welcome and thanks so much for your efforts!

I know some of us want to begin our dynasty's now and some may want to wait til the December 4 patch. Regardless, it looks like we'll have a great base of rosters to work from thanks to you all.

WE now have every conference called, so now everyone just has to be patient so we can finish them up. heres the order after blue and gold finishes:

ME (TERPS): southern
Die HARD: Colonial
MATT: Horizon and MVC

at the end as we stand right now MATT is going to have the final roster, if u dont want that responisbility then we will switch matt and myself and i will go last with the southern conference. remember post your GT and filename when finished so people know how to get the roster.

hey terps... With the profanity check... will the roster be able to be posted here on the roster forums? Or are the people w/o xbox live screwed when it comes to getting the rosters?

# 568 Zprimetime2 @ 11/21/08 11:47 AM

well prince to tell ya the truth i am not sure about that. i think your scrwed without XBOX live...but then again i am not experienced with transferring information from computer to the XBOX. the only way i know how to do it is by sending a freind request to the person with the roster file, going into their locker, and downloading the file. honestly i am not sure.

# 569 TCruse69 @ 11/21/08 11:49 AM

Terps...Do we need Gold/silver Live to download them or does basic work??

I got the equipment to convert it into a .z36 file.

But in the past EA Sports files are all profile based, thats why they did the Locker thing to eliminate errors.

Let me know who has the final file Terp and I'll try to copy it off my HDD to the PC.

thanx bro i truly appreciate it. my tag is xBraVE HeaRTeDX. I think im goin to wait for the final roster before i download it from you.

# 573 UTBBall @ 11/21/08 11:54 AM

I have been searching high and low for the rosters and i finnally found people that have been working for them. I think this is great what yall are doing. if yall need any help let me know my G/T is mancrush4eberry. Also i have a question on how to get the rosters. i went into the public roster sharing sections and it only has one team for each person. Do you have to send a friend request to people to get the other rosters? Also when you download them do you write over the old roster files and they combine together or do you keep creating new files. If anybody could help me that would be great. Thanks again for everyone working on the rosters.

yeah, i'm cool with the uploading/downloading thing. even if something were to screw up, you'll still have the latest file (prior to the colonial edit) so the work done before won't be lost. that goes for anybody that gets a new file....as long as we don't get rid of the previous file edit, we shouldn't ever lose any work.

and yeah, 3 hours or so is cool with me. if you can get it to me before that, just msg me.

i'll send you a PM and give you my gamertag so we can get this thing rollin'.....and i'll go ahead and get the research done on the colonial conference ahead of time so that hopefully i can knock it out fairly quickly.

Is there going to be one big file at the end? Or do you have to download the roster files individually by conference? I'm confused... any help is appreciated... thanks guys.

there will be one complete file at the end, either with the last person to edit the file or with terpspimp

Dammmm, you people are rolling. I so cannot wait to start my dynasty! Once again, your work is very appreciated. I missed out on editing this time. In the past ESPN wasn't always the best source but the school websites themselves were.

# 579 UTBBall @ 11/21/08 12:08 PM

What conferences are still left?

# 580 Behindshadows @ 11/21/08 12:08 PM

Starting your Dynasty even when the rosters are done is a waste.

A patch along with authentic schedules won't be ready until Dec. 4th.

I think that would be the best time to start your Dynasty...
