Can custom drafts still be imported?

BigPitt · 10-27-2006, 05:24 PM

I guess that was just names was it not?

Also - someone ask about the 2004 editor be usable and I have not seen an answer. Anyone know?

While I'm here. Are the real names in the full game as they are in the demo?
Has that been confirmed yet?

BigPitt · 10-28-2006, 09:59 AM

Bump

I see in the newer pots that the past editors are not expected to work.
Also that editing should be doable through csv file. Good.

Also see that Real Names are in the game. Also good.

Anyone have any info on using a custom daft file as many did in 2004?

Since I have so few posts maybe Hell Atlantic does not allow you guys to answer. Who is this guy anyway?

He's the guy who's telling you the way it is.

Well, TCY exports for FOF2K4 work for FOF2K7, so I would guess that the old draft files would work as well. Aren't they the same format as TCY draft files?

Oh, and BigPitt, the issue isn't that you don't have enough posts. People here love to help newbies with FOF questions. HA likes to be a bit of an ass at times. It's part of his charm. The issue is that we've had the game for barely 12 hours. People don't know the answers to many questions yet, and don't want to give you bad information. My answer in this thread was a guess--a somewhat-logical guess, but a guess nonetheless. My suggestion this early on would be to try these things out for yourself, and post whether or not they work, as I did with Change_Tracker.

Yes the old draft files work. They are the same format as TCY files.

Player files however, need to be adjusted since there is a new column for running back blitz pickup.

You've checked and confirmed this? If so, let me know, and I'll copy the draft files from the fofdownloads folder to the fof2k7downloads folder, to continue to build that new library.

BigPitt · 10-28-2006, 10:58 AM

Thanks a lot for the info.

SkyDog - I know the game has only been out a short while but I thought the info might be available from the demo.

I don't want to buy the game if Real Names cannot be used. Therefore the draft file is real important. Its just me but I get no pleasure out of used fictional names. How the Real Names ratings stack up are not so important however.

Have had all previous editions and enjoyed them. This new one looks outstanding
and since there seems to be a good chance what I want is doable I'm off to purchase and "muck-around".

Yes, I've tried Yabanci's 2007 draft file, so I would assume that all other draft files will work.

I also tried to his 2006 roster file but that didn't work.
