April 24th PS2 Draft Rosters

[russell80220]

iI have to say you've done a great job rudy, given the fact that we playstation players don't have Finn's editor to work with, your edits are making the game much more entertaining for me.

Thanks,
Russell

He also makes edits using Finn's editor for the XBox so its a bit of an apples and oranges thing. Its a cool site though.

Your first round of rosters are awesome. Thanks for all the hard work. It is tougher finding rosters for ps2. Did you change the teams who had no players at some positions ex. broncos safties? looking forward to the update. These rosters are simply awesome.

I have made some changes since the last update. I converted Nick Ferguson to SS since they didn't have any since Kenoy Kennedy left. He is scheduled to start there. I also moved Travelle Wharton of Carolina to left tackle. This is all done by editing another player at the position. Pollack is at OLB on the Bengals (Hardy cut). I can do a lot of these edits but 2K4 did have a limit. I don't know about 2K5 but I haven't hit the wall yet.

So what you're saying is don't bother using
ESPN 2k5 Editor 1.8.w/ a PS2 file. The PS2 won't accept the
roster save? Is FlyingFinn working on the fix for
the issue? By the way nice work on your roster!

Exactly. You can import the file and work on all kinds of great things but it won't load. There is a CRC code that is cracked for the XBox but not the PS2. I don't think he has ever gotten one of his editors to work for the PS2 yet.

Here they are as of May 6th - includes Chad Brown on the Patriots. If people want some specific rookies in the game that they think will have a meaningful impact let me know.

There is a guy last year that helped me create more rookies. The trick he used was to
1) create a team
2) assign the created player to the fake team
3) delete the player from the created list
4) transfer the player from the fake team back to his real team

I tried it this year but couldn't get it to work. You can delete the player and he still stays in the game on a fake team but I couldn't figure out how to get him back onto a real team. If anybody can do this, let me know and this will free up a lot of created slots.

These rosters are awesome; thanks a bunch. Now if I can only get the cpu offense to play a balanced game( run a good % of the time) and regularly have a high completion%. I will keep tinkering until I get it. Thanks again for the rosters.
