Yeah, I got that part and knew to change Home & Away team.

The one thing I noticed when I was doing this was that in the game, when I view the schedule, I would see duplicate games in the same week. The games were to be played at different times, but it was the same game. It looked like this

Week 1: My Team v. Conf Team 1 - 3:30pm
Week 2: Conf 2 Team v. My Team - 6:00pm
Week 3: My Team v. Conf Team 3 - 1:00pm
Week 3: My Team v. Conf Team 3 - 3:30pm

Can't figure out what I did for the altered game to show at 2 different times. Looked fine in the editor.

I would double check:


1) that team schedule is symmetrical, so your team and the opponent team need to be correct. as is the Game #


for games for your team, make sure GFFU is set to 1

i made a discovery with my data corruption issue! i was able to resave the file onto the memory stick (actually different one) after a reboot, and now i can edit it

i played a National Championship game at Cowboys Stadium, so awesome. The intro voice over said we were in Glendale, but that's okay

anyone know if the highlight screen shots can be transferred over to a USB and extracted via horizon? i don't have access to my xbox at the moment

Here is the 6-Team Playoff I have started using. For ease I use the Peach and Cotton bowls as my second round games each time. Special Thanks again to Yengator for figuring out how to get the records and stats to properly save. (For how enter and edit the matchups you can view the video on this post)

Bowl Tie-ins:
NC	1 vs 2
Rose	Big Ten vs Pac-12
Orange	Acc vs At-Large
Sugar	SEC vs Big 12
Fiesta	At-Large vs At-Large
Peach	Sun Belt #5 vs MAC #5
Cotton	Sun Belt #6 vs MAC #6

Example of matchups:
NC	#1 Alabama vs #2 USC
Rose	#3 Ohio State vs Notre Dame
Orange	Florida State vs Oklahoma
Sugar	LSU vs #6 Texas
Fiesta	#4 Michigan vs #5 Oregon
Peach	Texas State vs Ohio
Cotton	ULM vs Ball State


==============================================================
So we make our first round matchups and determine the bracket
==============================================================
	 
	 --------
-------- Peach	|-------
Fiesta	|--------	|
--------		|
		    NC	|---------
--------		|
Rose	|-------	|
-------- Cotton	|-------
	 -------

So for the first round we only need to swap Notre Dame and Texas.
Change and then play these games
Fiesta	#4 Michigan vs #5 Oregon
Rose	#3 Ohio State vs #6 Texas
Orange	Florida State vs Oklahoma
Sugar	LSU vs Notre Dame

Do Not play these Games
NC	#1 Alabama vs #2 USC
Peach	Texas State vs Ohio
Cotton	ULM vs Ball State

Now save the file and open it back up in the editor.

==============================================================
2nd Round (Michgan and Texas Won in the first round)
==============================================================
Swap Michgan and Texas State from the Fiesta Bowl and Peach Bowl.
Swap Texas and Ball State from the Rose Bowl and Cotton Bowl.

Fiesta	Texas State vs #5 Oregon
Rose	#3 Ohio State vs Ball State

NC	#1 Alabama vs #2 USC
Peach	#4 Michigan vs Ohio
Cotton	ULM vs #6 Texas

Now swap #1 Alabama and Ohio from the NC Game and Peach Bowl.
Swap #2 USC and ULM from the NC Game and Cotton Bowl.

NC	Ohio vs ULM
Peach	#4 Michigan vs #1 Alabama
Cotton	#2 USC vs #6 Texas

Play the Peach Bowl and Cotton Bowl
Now save the file and open it back up in the editor.

==============================================================
National Championship (Alabama and Texas Won in the second round)
==============================================================
Now swap #1 Alabama and Ohio from the NC Game and Peach Bowl.
Swap #6 Texas and ULM from the NC Game and Cotton Bowl.

NC	#1 Alabama vs #6 Texas
Peach	#4 Michigan vs Ohio
Cotton	#2 USC vs ULM

Play the finals out and advance the week to End of Season.
Now save the file and open it back up in the editor.


==============================================================
Final Editing
==============================================================
Your matchups will look like this.

NC	#1 Alabama vs #6 Texas
Peach	#4 Michigan vs Ohio
Cotton	#2 USC vs ULM
Fiesta	Texas State vs #5 Oregon
Rose	#3 Ohio State vs Ball State

We need to make the bowls reflect the actual results so
now we edit the games to include the following matchups
NC	#1 Alabama vs #6 Texas
Peach	#4 Michigan vs #1 Alabama
Cotton	#2 USC vs #6 Texas
Fiesta	#4 Michigan vs #5 Oregon
Rose	#3 Ohio State vs #6 Texas

Save the file and all records and stats should be recorded 
properly.

are there any known fields for "bowl prestige"? i'm wondering if I can make the Cotton Bowl and Peach Bowls more prestigious

[SiouxFan613]

It's been a few months since I've posted in here. Has anyone had any luck eliminating bowl games from the schedule? As I mentioned back in January, I'm looking to begin a dynasty from the 1970s and would like to add the bowl games to the schedule as they actually came about.

[mm boost]

so is there an editor that allows us to adjust schedules in the game? So like for instance, when I start playing my dynasty this fall when the real 2014 season kicks off, can I start a fresh Virginia Tech dynasty with the new rosters, and with their 2014 schedule like it will be played in real life??
