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.

Just got the latest from Terps. You guys are terring it up. Thanks to everyone. Don't mess with Gamers!! Any idea if we can eventually get the all-timers?

# 687 Zprimetime2 @ 11/21/08 06:12 PM

# 688 diehardgamecock @ 11/21/08 06:13 PM

got the horizon finished except for valpo....their roster is all kinds of effed up. gonna have to spend a little time with it.

i'll post again once i finish up with valpo and start on the colonial.

# 689 CAJUN COMMISH @ 11/21/08 06:14 PM

Please let us know who has them in their locker later. I am home but operating off 45min sleep from last night and doubt I will be awake too late. Will gladly grab when I do get up so I can get playing. Community members have banned together and done a great job!

# 690 Zprimetime2 @ 11/21/08 06:17 PM

aight good **** diehard if you dont want to do the missouri valley i have had some guys tell me they could do it i mean you can finish up with the colonial and what not then post it and i can get someone on the mvc as soon as your done!

# 691 bruins02 @ 11/21/08 06:26 PM

Bowld....did you fix UCLA's roster...roster's WAY OFF...all the new frosh have different numbers, and there's a couple people in our top 8 players in the game who i have NO IDEA who they are

# 692 HOFGame @ 11/21/08 06:27 PM

I would have to do my 96' and 98' Ky Wildcats.

# 693 diehardgamecock @ 11/21/08 06:30 PM

ok...horizon league is done. valpo's roster was horrible, but i did the best i could. i don't think their roster turned out too terribly bad.

all i did across the board, was edit the names to the numbers along with height/weight. the classes of some of these guys is off, but that's the way it always is on these games.

these are the only players i couldn't find a home for:

butler: no idea who SG#0 is. he's not on their website roster and no "extras" were there to choose from.

youngstown state: no idea who SG#34 is. again, he's not on their website and no "extras" available.

moving on to the colonial. will update later.

Rivals.com is a good tool to use, they normally have every player listed even though some of them may have not played a game yet. Thanks for your help with this roster project. I'm looking forward to it!

Yea, that Butler guard was an extra. EA's rosters are pathetic. I tried to match up numbers and Ht-Wt, but some it was a crapshoot. I know Butler's roster was FUBAR! They had a #54 that WAS NO WAY Matt Howard so I had to assume he was their best player who also was 6-8. It also seems like EA gets their homestate close, but never right. The wrong class ticks me off too. I mean Robbie Hummel is the Big 10 preseason POY and they list him as a frosh. Nice work EA!
Some teams are easy and some are a pain! Keep truckin guys! How many we got left.

Terps, I know I said I could do the MVC, but that was the last two days

I am booked tonight! Sorry!

i've just been going to the official bball website of each individual school....they should have the most accurate roster available.

most of these guys are showing up...like i said, i've only got a couple that i just have no clue on (in each case, the game had a 14 man roster but the website only listed 13 players, so i couldn't even take a random name from the roster to add to the game).

# 697 JOakman @ 11/21/08 06:46 PM

Just thought I would cue in a little. Some teams still have players on their roster who have transferred elsewhere.

For example on UMass #21 and #13 are both gone from the team.

#13 is now Travon Wilcher who is listed as #52 or whatever at 6'7'' 210.

The transfers to the school; Sean Carter, Hashim Bailey, and Doug Wiggins are not on the team.

# 698 NYJOIB11 @ 11/21/08 06:46 PM

You guys are awosome to take the time and put in the effort to do all this and make it a team effort thats dope, usually I spen every year doin it on my own, didnt feel like doin this year, google searched for the rosters and this site came up I dont know how much you guys got left but i would love to help

that may very well be why there are "extra" players on some of the teams i've edited.

i'm not going to mess with them though...for now, they are just numbers. everybody can decide what they want to do with them later.
