Ladder conversion status thread - hope have league up and running by Sunday (7/20)

Kodos · 07-18-2014, 08:15 AM

I'll track where we are in the conversion in the first few posts of this thread.

1. Edit roster in teambuilder. Done.
2. Per the OS Sliders, I need to edit all coaches (HC, OC, DC) to be 50/50 aggressive/conservative, and put substitutions around 85%. Finished.
3. Need to research average recruiting class ranks for each team. Done.
4. Test out importing teambuildered teams to Online Dynasty. Partial
5. Edit in user coaches. Obsolete.
6. Update teambuilder teams for North Dakota, San Luis Obispo, Fairbanks, and Rochester Done.
7. Download teambuilder teams Done.

Kodos · 07-18-2014, 08:18 AM

MacroGuru · 07-23-2014, 11:24 AM

Just finished Offense up to my C, I will complete the rest tonight / tomorrow AM

MacroGuru · 07-23-2014, 02:30 PM

Buffalo is done, 2 players from my roster did not make it onto the new one as there were no open spots.

Kodos · 07-24-2014, 08:10 AM

Yep. The teambuilder teams seem to only have 68 slots.

Hoping we can get this thing off the ground by the end of the weekend.

CU Tiger · 07-24-2014, 08:53 AM

I have not entered any of my players as Ive been on the road seemingly constantly for 2 weeks.

Ill be down this weekend so I'll try and get my team entered on Saturday.

chesapeake · 07-24-2014, 10:40 AM

I'll try and plow through the rest of the defense tonight. I doubt I'll have time to crosscheck heights and weights. Is that very important?

gstelmack · 07-24-2014, 11:55 AM

Heights and weights don't take all that long - get your players entered, then put the teambuilder browser window side-by-side with the NCAA 13 dynasty roster list, and you can plow through it pretty quickly.

Agreed. I was done mine in under 15 minutes doing it that way.

Julio Riddols · 07-24-2014, 04:49 PM

I actually managed to do my entire team in a matter of about 3 hours, down to the color of their skin. I shrunk the excel spreadsheet down when editing the players so that it only showed one player at a time, then I would enter the numbers by entering, tabbing, entering, tabbing, etc. Each player probably took less than 3 minutes to finish in total (ratings, numbers and measurements). Heights and weights were a breeze, I also did the split window technique for that. It really helped that the spreadsheet numbers were entered in the same order that the site lists them when editing a players ratings. Thanks for that, Kodos.

Kodos · 07-24-2014, 09:32 PM

Glad I could help.

CU Tiger · 07-25-2014, 09:28 AM

Ok I am a bit slow here...

Are you guys doing this online or on the xbox?

And if online, how?

Kodos · 07-25-2014, 09:50 AM

Online, using Teambuilder. See this thread starting at post 12:

Ladder conversion to NCAA 14- Teambuilder tips thread - Front Office Football Central

CU Tiger · 07-25-2014, 11:08 AM

THanks...I totally missed that post though I clearly responded to other stuff in that thread.

Crap I could have been doing this on the road all week.
Ill knock it out tonight.

I have the skill stats entered. I'll try and get the heights and weights done before Sunday.

Kodos · 07-25-2014, 11:45 AM

Sunday isn't a hard deadline. I have a lot of crap going on, so it may well end up getting pushed. But Sunday is what I'm aiming for if things come together.

chesapeake · 07-26-2014, 03:25 PM

easports.com/teambuilder#/school/2292228550:1405473251

I think I'm done. Hopefully I didn't screw it up too badly.

Kodos · 07-26-2014, 04:51 PM

IU is ready too.

Kodos · 07-27-2014, 12:28 PM

I think all we need now is Rice and FAU.

CU Tiger · 07-27-2014, 12:46 PM

Sorry I am behind guys. Id been traveling for a couple weeks almost non stop, came home this weekend and thought Id get more done but have had some issues come up at home and havent had much time at all.

If FAU is the lone hold up you guys can move forward without me.

I'm honestly not sure when Im going to get to the teambuilder set up.

I will try tonight, but if not we are closing on a new house Tuesday, and then renovate and move and I not sure what my schedule looks like there yet

Kodos · 07-27-2014, 03:04 PM

We can wait if you still want to be in. No biggie.

Julio Riddols · 07-27-2014, 09:08 PM

If I get time, maybe I can do the team for CU Tiger. I'll try and hammer it out in the next couple days if CU can't.

Julio Riddols · 07-28-2014, 12:11 AM

Done with uniforms, will start working on roster.

Let me know what you think, CU.

FAUniforms.png

Couldn't find an owl logo that looked good, so went with the FAU logo instead, but otherwise tried to replicate the new FAU uniforms.

Julio Riddols · 07-28-2014, 01:34 AM

Offensive ratings done, defense hopefully later. Gotta fold some towels and run pre audit, then its back to number mashing.

Julio Riddols · 07-28-2014, 02:46 AM

Ratings done, Heights and Weights next.

Julio Riddols · 07-28-2014, 03:24 AM

FAU Done.

Kodos · 07-28-2014, 06:50 AM

You, sir, are awesome.

Julio Riddols · 07-28-2014, 07:09 AM

There shall be no stragglers!

Let me know if Rice is still not done and I should be able to do it tonight.

Dola,

That is why I love this league so much. It is a great group of guys.

cartman · 07-28-2014, 08:34 AM

I hope to finish up the conversion by tomorrow, otherwise I'll let Julio loose on it.

CU Tiger · 07-28-2014, 10:24 AM

Julio that is awesome.
I genuinely appreciate the effort and the gesture...I almost feel guilty for you doing it.

But thank you and I owe you.

MacroGuru · 07-28-2014, 10:55 AM

I was going to come in and offer my services for this. I am home with nothing better to do until I fly out Thurs.

Awesome Job Julio!

You don't owe me nothin', man. I just looked down at my "What would Haley Joel Osment do?" bracelet, and I knew then my duty was clear.

It helped me stay awake at work when I had about 4 hours of nothing to do to start my shift.

Kodos · 07-28-2014, 01:50 PM

It's better than seeing dead people. All the time.

Julio Riddols · 07-28-2014, 01:56 PM

He's making a comeback in Tusk, pretty excited to see it.

Kodos · 07-28-2014, 02:32 PM

I looked him up. He looks the same, just bigger.

MacroGuru · 07-31-2014, 09:37 AM

Alright gents, I head out of town today and won't be back until Mon. If I can do stuff from the web, I will.

Kodos · 07-31-2014, 09:38 AM

Okay. I probably won't get to set up the league until sometime this weekend anyhow.
