Playmakers NCAA 13 1990's Rosters XBOX 360

[Billysims]

Looks like I am at the half way poiint, with about 35 or so teams left to do. In the coming weeks Im going to try to step it up to do a team per day on average. It takes about 2 hours to do a team with player name/body/equipment/ratings edits. However, I am away again all next week so that will be another delay. Hopefully mid January I'm done.

It might be a little bit funky with the smaller schools (ie: MAC schools, Mountain West schools) because I started the file this year with a file that had roster names from the 2012 season rather than a generic auto-named roster, and got too far down the road before I realized it. And those smaller schools I generally wont touch except for a small # of well-known players. But I personally never use any of those schools in a dynasty, nor do I recgnize any of the current players, so it doesnt affect me personally. I wish there was a way to auto name only certain teams but alas....

I am only editing teams that were "big time" in the 70s. So by custom conference it looks like the below (currently completed teams in red):
Big 10:
Michigan
Ohio St
Michigan St
Minnesota
Wisconsin
Illinois
Purdue
Indiana (Teambuilder)
Northwestern (Teambuilder)
Iowa

Kansas (Teambuilder)
Kansas St
Okl St

LSU
Miss St
Vandy
Kentucky

Pac10:
USC
UCLA
Washington
Wash St
Oregon
Or St
Stanford
Cal (Teambuilder)
Arizona
Arizona St

SWC:
Texas
Texas A&M
Arkansas
Baylor
TCU
Texas Tech
Rice
SMU
Houston

Big East:
Penn State
Pitt (Teambuilder)
Syracuse
BC (Teambuilder)
West Virginia
Rutgers
Temple
Miami (Teambuilder)

ACC:

Wake Forest
VaTech

Sorry for the lengthy post; just wanted to organize & communicate what I was doing. Peace y'all...

 

[Playmakers]

I've been researching some more players of that era and there is some serious talent that should be fun to play with once your done.

QB-Bert Jones-LSU
LB-Richard "Batman" Woods-USC
The Selmon Brothers-Oklahoma
RB-Franco Harris-Penn St
WR-Lynn Swann-USC
LB-Jack Hamm-Penn St
LB-Jack Lambert-Kent St
RB-Wendell Tyler-UCLA
QB-Vinve Ferragamo-Nebraska
QB-Pat Haden-USC
CB/RB-Cullen Bryant-Colorado
QB/DB-Nolan Cromwell-Kansas
RB-Chuck Foreman-Miami
RB-Earl Campbell-Texas.........One of my All Time Favorites

 

[Billysims]

Yep: I have them all, except maybe Batman Woods. But I think I did put him on the USC roster.
Kent St will also have Don "The Human Bowling Ball" Nottingham. He played for the Baltimore Colts for many years. The guy was like 5'9' / 210 lbs (which by today's standards isnt all that big). But back in the day he looked liked Maurice Jones-Drew does today, but he wasnt THAT good.

The SEC is all done. File in locker.

On to the PAC 10. Will update when those remaining 8 teams are done.

Happy Holidays!

Hey Billysims.....

Thought you might want to take a look at these team rankings for the 1970's

Looks good PM. I'm pretty sure that the strength of my file will be quite similar.

Oklahoma was on probation for recruiting violations during those 2 years and never were given credit for having won a true national championship in those years. They were awesome in the 70s.

This series used to be my favorite sports games.....sadly over the last 2-3 years burnout over having to edit their game has stopped me from enjoying it as much as i used to.

As someone who has done a lot of editing of rosters myself I can understand how you could get burned out a bit Playmakers. It takes tons of time just to do 1 team properly. I was going to do a best of teams myself but after many many hours and only reaching the half way point I found myself losing interest.... that's why I'm very thankful when I find someone who is willing to do the work and make it as realistic as possible.

 

[Billysims]

Wow...

A long slug thru the Pac10 but finally got thru it.

Now it's on to the SWC where I have 6 teams to finish.

Then I'll do the Big East (4), the Independents (3), then end with the ACC (all 10 left).

Wont be done until February at some point.

Getting there....

 

[Billysims]

Southwest Conference is done. File in my locker.

On to the Big East. Then the ACC, then the Independents.

Approx. 20 teams to go.

Looks like we will be finishing up our rosters at about the same time Billy....

I'm targeting NFL Draft weekend for the Madden rosters.....opcorn:

Keep up the great work on these and thanks for your continued patience on working on them because I know rosters these types of rosters for NCAA Football takes a lot of time and patience by the creator.

 

[Billysims]

Thanks bro.

Im hoping to be done by end of February. Gonna try to get a team done per night. Looking at doing West Virginia tonight.

 

[Billysims]

Ok the Big East is done.

I will do the independents and BYU next, then finish with the ACC. Hope to have the independents done by Monday.

 

[Billysims]

Independents are done except for Air Force. Moved on to the ACC, whe UNC is also done.

Will hit Air Force and a few key players on some teams after the ACC. Those teams would be from the MAC, and WAC along with Memphis, Tulane, Hawaii, UTEP, Cincinnati, Louisville, So Miss.

Also need to reduce ratings overall for the non-power schools; I can see where some of these teams/players are rated FAR too high.

Then that will complete the work that I plan to do in the file.

I can see the finish line....

 

[Playmakers]

Also need to reduce ratings overall for the non-power schools; I can see where some of these teams/players are rated FAR too high.

Just a heads up the best player movement ratings you can make for this years game is to lower the following ratings

-5 Speed
-10 Acceleration
-10 Agility
-10 Jumping
-10 Strength

This would actually be the best way to seperate top teams/players from lesser schools.

Thanks for your continued work on the file

 

[wincy]

BEst ever game. I love to play football this way indoor

 

[Billysims]

Just finished Duke.

Only Wake, UVa, and VaTech and Air Force to go, along with key players from other small schools. Should be done by next Saturday.

 

[Billysims]

Ok.

ive done all that I plan to do here. File is in my locker.

Over the next few months I will probably convert this to a 1975-1985 roster set, as it was hard finding quality, recognizable players from the early 70s for many teams. The last few teams I did were done that way.

Teams done on Teambuilder only:

• Boston College
• Pitt
• Iowa State
• Kansas
• Indiana
• Cal
• Miami
• Northwestern

Teams done on the fiel AND Teambuilder:

• Texas Tech (still need some tweaking)
• Colorado
• Minnesota

GT = billysims2330

Enjoy....

 

[Billysims]

Ok.

So now I'm taking this set and tweaking for the years 1976-1985. Going MUCH faster as the base set is already established. Now it's a few more names and ratings, and many more players that are easy to remember. Fr example, Mike Rozier, Doug Flutie, Bo Jackson, Chuck Long. You get the idea.

Really like this roster. I've made several Custom Playbooks that make them play a lot better. It took a while for me to get the right slider to get the option game going from the Wishbone but once I did it was a thing of beauty. One tip on wishbone plays: The triple option pass plays work the best. Keep up the good work.

Thanks man.

hey, please share your sliders! Wishbone is great but man it tough to make it work right for the CPU.
