STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS: HOW TO GET LATEST ROSTERS ON 360

[duncan54matt]

i am sure that if you have windows you can do it but i have never heard of that ...

I have a couple questions regarding the roster and franchise files.

Can you play multiple seasons with the roster/franchise files? And can you play pre-season games with them?

[duncan54matt]

yea , all you have to do is go to settings and you should see a bar that says preaseason games on or off and it is off automaticly if you are using FNG but you have to do this :

1. go to options
2.go to franchise options
3. go to preseason
4. switch it to ON if you desire
5. play the preseason

IF YOU WANT YOU CAN PLAY MULTIPLE SEASONS BUT THERE ARE SOME FRANCHISE SCHEDUEALS FROM THE PAST LIKE IF IT IS FOR THE 1991 SEASON OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT YOU CAN ONLY PLAY 2 SEASONS .... BUT YOU CAN GO ON BUT I CAN GET A BIT JACKED UP!
THE ROOKIES NAMES WILL BE LIKE " E30GKROS" AND STUFF IN THE SECOND YEAR SO IF YOU ARE USING CURRENT ROSTERS YOU SHOULDNT HAVE ANY PORBLEMS !!!

Thanks for the reply.

I know how to turn pre-season games on or off, I'm just curious if pre-season games can mess up a franchise or freeze the game an insane amount of times when using an updated roster/franchise file such as GR18, FNG, JSOU, etc.

So if I try running multiple seasons in, lets say JSOU 2008-2009 roster and franchise files, I would get weird rookie names and such? Would other problems arise as well?

well not in the current day rosters and franchises i have occured problems with the peseason but i think it is only with the first preseason of FNG'S franchise but he fixed all of that stuff .... but i think that the rosters and stuff from the historical roster makers are occuring problems with the futer preseasons ....

Hope you guys can help... I have been transferring rosters for a while with no problems, but just this weekend after not playing for about 2-3 months I ran in to some trouble.

Here is what is a happening:

I am using 20g HDD, transfer cable from MS, xport360 version 2.04, and a cpu with XP. (I have used this set-up too many times to count so I know it works)

Ok what happens is when I drop a new folder into the "5340030" folder on my hard drive it shows the folder copy on to it, but if you open said folder on the HDD after it has nothing it it... So when you load up 2k5 it doesn;t recogize it has a valid save...its an empty folder.

It should have the "xtra", "savegame.DAT", and "savemeta", and "file type" files in there.

What is happening? Does anybody have any odea why all of the sudden just the floder transfers and not the contents too?

I feel I have tried everything...

I deleted all 2k5 off of the HDD and started anew...
I have tried to move the individual files missing...
I have reinstalled xport
I went in in admin mode and tried

I will be bringing my work laptop home this week to try it on that.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
