NCAA Football 14/Madden 19 Draft Class Conversion (PC)

[tdawg3782]

UPDATE 12/28

So I am 99% done with what I wanted to do with this tool. Finally got the portraits, skin tone, and faces done correctly. That was a huge pain in the *** man. But we are good now from what I can tell. No disappearing heads anymore.


Fixed the draft order not syncing correctly(which I think was messing with the CPU draft logic). Now what you see in the scouting screen matches in the edit draft class screen.


I've done some equipment edits like visor color, flak jacket, etc. Small stuff that was easy to implement. Nothing big here yet.


I'm going to do some test runs myself and then I think I can release a few test classes for you guys for some feedback.


I will say my draft gem/bust randomizer is working beautifully. You will want to scout some of those UDFA. In one test I had the #4 overall pick come out at 69 Ovr and a projected UDFA be 80 Ovr. Now those are extremes but it's working quite well.

Have you figured out a way to add custom portraits to Madden 19.

If so, please share your method with me.

please, this is a very important feature for me to incorporate into the game.

tdawg just so I understand, is the file you attached a 2019 update draft class?

If not, I found one online that'll get me by for now but have no idea how to edit the traits for them to match my roster

The file I have attached is a 2019 draft class but it is still a test file. I wouldn't use it in a real CFM.


As far as editing the traits its really easy once you know what to do. Basically you export the draft class to excel using amp, make your edits, create a new draft class file from your edited excel file using amp, and then load in game. It's super easy. Later today I'll give you a run down on what columns need editing and what the numbers refer too.

No. I know what two columns change the portrait but I haven't tried adding a costume one. I would imagine you would have to edit an existing generic portrait using Frosty and then you could insert that one as long as you knew the two id numbers.

UPDATE 12/30

I am done mostly. Everything is working great as far as the conversion goes. I will need to run just a couple more tests. For whatever reason DE and LB seems to come in a little light on good players. Now this could just be a soft class for those positions but I want to run a 6 season sim on Ncaa to see if it's a trend or it all balances out. If that goes right I will begin working on my first draft class then.


As far as releasing the excel workbook I'm not there quite yet. I could do it now but I need to release a tutorial for sure on what to do. It is not hard really but you need to set up the roster file from Ncaa in a specific way to make sure everything works correctly. I hope to have this part done in a few weeks. My main focus is to release 2-4 draft classes first.


I will be working on body type stuff and equipment stuff still but that is more cosmetic. What I have now still works great it's just a bit more generic.


As far a draft classes go I plan on giving as much info as possible about what is happening in Ncaa to give a good backstory for all players. I don't have a great format on this part yet so it will be trial and error at first. I was planning on doing the 4 team playoff but I'm not sure I want to do the extra effort that is involved with that. Every time you take the game from the Xbox and edit it on the PC you run the chance of bricking your save. So it may just be the old BCS way. Thinking awards, stats, top players, and general season info is a must. We'll see.

Is there any more update to this conversion mod? Please release the spreadsheet & apps to convert NCAA 14 draft class. This is the only option we have to transfer college players until EA releases NCAA 20, thanks much.

Haven't posted in a bit but I've been working on how to present to you guys the Ncaa Football Season from which these players come. I have been tinkering with PocketScout's web page creator and I think that is a solid approach so far. Let me know what you guys think. Link below:
