NCAA Football 14: 2021-2022 Roster Update

[Freeebobby]

Any idea when xbox360 roster will be finished? Or anything I can do to help speed up the process

[Freeebobby]

Not sure which teams need to be updated but I’m willing to help

Didn't see a CFR thread so I guess this is probably the best place to ask, apologies if these or similar questions have already been addressed, I don't have account privileges for the search feature.

There are some pretty radical changes this year. New plays, CPU opponents having access to their full playbook instead of 35 default plays, the "Saban factor" skill tree, etc. Then apparently the new coach ratings mentioned in the Coach Edits drop-down in this thread's OP (game management and recruiting for HCs, OC/DC ratings for performance).

In no particular order...

1. The coach ratings: are those just a descriptive, visual reference for how well coaches are performing? Or do they have an effect, like player ratings do? If so, what do they affect, and to what extent?

2. The new plays are a nice addition, and I'm really excited to try the RPO plays, but I'm worried about compatibility w/ custom PBs. Even EA couldn't slide a true CPB system seamlessly into their code because of how playcalling/PBs work, so they had to settle for crudely hammering a watered-down playbook editor into the code with a rusty nail (e.g. most of us probably remember EA saying the CPB editor is better for tweaking existing books than creating new ones). Even still, it's notoriously glitchy and unstable.

Meanwhile, adding plays, the RPO in particular, seems like a really big deal in terms of what's going on under-the-hood; EA devs have talked about how the code's complexity prevented them from implementing screen passes as well as they wanted to. Does the CPB editor still work the same with all these new plays? Were the CFR guys able to implement all the new plays without affecting the stability of custom books?

3. Speaking of the new plays, I'm very eager to hear more about how they've been integrated into default books. Will they appear in the coaches' default team PBs in the formations into which they've been assigned? E.g., will RPO HB Zone Bubble appear in every instance of the six formations that include it (per the CFR patch notes' linked spreadsheet), regardless of team? Or will new plays be incorporated into default team books selectively, on a team-by-team, play-by-play basis?

4. Some of these new mechanics sound amazing, others, I see the appeal but they aren't my cup of tea (new skill trees—never really liked the trees to begin with, personally). Have there been any discussions about the feasibility of taking a "modular" approach to these new features? E.g. having the visual elements/new teams as the base install, then giving users the option to install whichever of the more major additions they prefer? Say, the new plays, but not the new skill tree or the uncapped CPU opponent playcalling choices?

If that's not feasible (likely it isn't), have there been discussions about creating different branches for the different permutations of the new mechanics, so users can pick and choose which mechanics they want?

If not, for users that decide they'd prefer updated rosters, but with a more vanilla experience: will there be (or is there) an option to use a legacy version of CFR (e.g. the "final" version of last year's project, before the new mechanics began being implemented), one that will still be compatible with future roster updates?

Apologies for the wall of text, but I reckon as we get closer to kickoff, the project will get more and more attention, and these questions might pop up more. So if anyone can answer them, the post will at least be something y'all can point folks to, if/when they come up again! Many thanks in advance to anyone that can help me out, it's greatly appreciated. Great work as always!

What do you and RollTrain94 think about the MLB spot with the Fakasiieiki injury? I thought I heard that Kieren Douglas was the #2 before the injury. I'm guessing either he starts at MLB with Alexander outside or Alexander starts at MLB and then Brothers starts at OLB?

Either way if Fakasiieiki is out for the year, he is getting cut from this years file since he's already a senior.

Tennessee should already be updated to post-spring, you can check team status on the first post under the Teams tab. Editos don't necessarily post here on OS everytime they finish a team (although I try to for mine). Teams tab should be kept fairly up-to-date on which teams have been completed.

We only really control the roster, changes to the mechanics are from the CFBReavmped team themselves but I can try and answer some of your questions through the lens of a roster editor.

1. I would say it's kind of both. Obviously a higher rating typically means better coach. The most prominent meaning behind the rating is that higher rating = more abilities unlocked and those abilities can affect certain player ratings. These effects can be seen on the coach skill tree page in-game. My understanding that the changes made by the CFBRevamped team are text-only and don't necessarily change anything else from base game (i.e. Saban Factor is the exact same thing as Insta-Commit apart from the text description).

2. Can't answer that. This was a change by CFBrevamped that the roster doesn't really have any control over. There should be a playbook-editor-support thread in the CFBR Discord that might be able to give more info.

3. My understanding is that the new plays aren't apart of the current in-game playbooks but are available as a choice for custom playbooks. Some of the playcalling logic was changed by the CFBRevamped team which would affect what types of situations plays are called in for the in-game playbooks (like you said, more of the playbook is unlocked in more situations) but this is not something controlled by the roster. Not 100% on this so again you might have to ask the Discord.

4. Not something controlled by the roster. My guess would be its very unlikely that a modular approach would be taken.

Forgive me for asking, but where is the PS3 file located?

Thanks!

On main screen go to team management then roster share click download and type in the PSN:

To know you have the correct file check to make sure South Alabama has QB Jake Bentley

Really nice of Vikesfan to take the time to reply but this is just not the place to ask those questions, man. This is Vikesfan’s roster page and these guys work really hard on that specific aspect. I don’t mean that to come off as abrasive just more so trying to help you find the right place for your answers but it’s not here. As Vikes said, the CFBR discord and all the info contained in it would be your best bet. Definitely make sure to search for answers to your questions. Having spent some time on there myself, I know most, if not all, of them have been asked and answered.
