Custom Dynasty Schedule - DB Editing

[phatkroger10]

Does anyone know or have had luck with importing a custom schedule into a dynasty db? I have the edited .csv file, but the database does not correctly overwrite the current schedule with the modified one.

I am using this in conjunction with the vikesfan059 (and team) 2015-16 rosters where Charlotte replaces UAB. I did not use any TeamBuilder teams.

The file in question is available at the link below. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or pointers so we can get the 2015-16 NCAA schedule released to the public.

Anyone check this out?

How did you do the conferences?

I believe I've figured it out. You just have to open the csv in Excel and delete the entire first row. After that, use the Dynasty Editor (not the EA DB Editor) to import the file.

One thing I noticed, and I'm not sure how easy this would be to fix, is that the Wisconsin/Alabama game in Week 1 is played in Tuscaloosa rather than in Dallas.

I did that and it didn't work. It says "Table Field THOA is missing from the file".

I extracted this via the DB editor, not the dynasty editor (don't think I have that one downloaded..). What values are inputted on the THOA field? It'd probably be easy to create that field and assign it a default value, as I don't recall that being in my .csv file. I'm not home right now so I can't check.

Can someone please share the link to the dynasty editor so I can try that when I get home?

Thanks for the responses, guys!

Ok so I got it to work through the Dynasty editor. You do have to remove the first row like one of the posters mentioned earlier. Everything looks good except that it stops after week 13 (12 in editor). No Army/Navy or Baylor/Texas.

That may have to do with that number of rows. My file before I import your file has 803 rows, where your CSV file had around 820 I believe.

I think I've got it. Let me do some quick tinkering and I'll get back to you. I think I've got to add 16 games via the DB Editor then import via the dynasty editor.

No need to man. My dynasty file only had 803 rows to go with. Your excel file actually includes Weeks 14 and 15, I had to delete some games so it would fit in the 803 rows that my dynasty file originally was allowed. I removed some FCS vs Sun Belt games from week 1 in your CSV file

Did it work? Can we not add the additional 16 games needed for an authentic schedule?

Yeah. I took out certain rows that I wanted to take out in your excel file. When I was done I numbered week 1 from 0-68 in order and it included the Army Navy game- which is the final regular season game.

If your file contains 820 rows before you import your schedule, then you shouldn't need to delete anything. Anything under 820 you will have to.

Great job on the schedule by the way. Looks really good!

Imported and confirmed working? Xbox or PS3?

Re: Custom Dynasty Schedule - DB Editing

I have tried this and it works on the ncaa editor. However it did cut off the games at the end of the schedule like minges has said. I am not sure what games he deletes to make it fit. There has to be a way to get it to import the entire schedule.

Re: Custom Dynasty Schedule - DB Editing

The best time to do this in the preseason. The Teams Schedule Tab is empty at that time, so you only have to deal with the schedule tab. If you run out of lines, don't schedule some of the FCS games, especially early on in the year. Then, once you have the new schedule completed, open the game and add the FCS opponents for whatever games are missing. This will also create extra lines for future seasons if you want to use it as a template.

If I am importing a schedule from another Dynasty, I use the Dynasty Editor to do this (which means you have to Hex Edit before you re-load the Dynasty onto the game).

Re: Custom Dynasty Schedule - DB Editing

I know we can get a fully working schedule for 2015. pimpycraig did this for the 2014 season on PS3. I just can't remember for the life of me how I imported the .csv schedule file into which editor.

I'm pretty sure that I was using the NCAA Dynasty Editor. I just don't remember the exact steps to get it done. I know I used Import button feature but after that I can't remember which route I went. I do know once I got the schedule imported it was fully working & a correct 2014 schedule for all games.

Let's get this working so we can have an accurate 2015 schedule for our dynasties. I'm looking for a P3 converted one. Please post the steps in the process to import the file(s) along with which editor is best to use for this. Thanks guys!

All of my editing experience has been with NHL (or strictly with the EA DB Editor) where, at no point do I do any hex editing or convert a file to an .MC02 file or back. Could you please post a tutorial or point me in the correct direction?

I think once I've got that down I will be able to post a full and final file and possibly a tutorial.
