thanks for doing that-- that's a pretty good piece of data for anyone asking in the future (this question comes about once a week)

nice to have a more definitive answer from someone who took the time to figure it out

I gave my brother my PS2 version of this. I want to help him out get his roster up to date as I can. Nothing major. So for me to understand this, if you over right a player, if you over right him w/ a player who has the same number of characters in his name, you are ok? Or is it just 165 players period?

^you will absolutely run out at some point changing names in-game

165 if you are lucky/careful

Alright thanks

The renaming limit is just one of the many reasons why we play 2K5 on Xbox.

THANKS FINN.

On topic -

That site is average at best. There were several players missing from the 49ers alone. Ugh.

I said it before and I'll say it again -

The localsports.com site that Rickster told me about a while ago crushes every other site out there when it comes to rosters.

The roster limit on the 360 is too bad. I assume there is a way around this with Finn's editor if you have the Xport? I still have my Xbox and will just play 2K5 on it until / if someone figures out a way to update complete rosters. Puja, I downloaded your most recent roster, thanks. I also got Finn's editor but not sure how to impliment it as when I drag the file to the Action replay file it says that it is not an Xbox save. I'll to to Finn's page and see if there are instrucions.

^just move my roster to your system like any other gamesave & you're updated

i already used Finn's editor to do all the legwork for you

Thanks again puja. Are you saying that your rosters, I downloaded the Dec 1st roster, already has Finn's editor in it? Sorry, I am completely stupid regarding the editor even though I've done searches for it and read up on it. From what I understand the edits, changes in schedule, etc. have to be done on the pc, then you save to the memory card. If that's the case I don't know how to open the program on the pc to do the changes. If that's not the case and I should be able to do the changes now on the Xbox the I am not finding where to do this. I'll check in Franchise options again to see if I am missing something.
