    BIG problem in Road to Glory! HELP!!!

    Is anyone else having this problem? For some reason I can't get the generated names to show up in Road to Glory. I tried two seperate ways yet I'm still coming up with names like QB #2.

    1. I have generated names prior to my R2G, saved the roster file, loaded the roster file, went through a whole high school playoff and then found that the names were still the generic names like QB #2.

    2. I started a R2G and picked "Yes" when asked if I wanted them to generate names for my players. I then went though a whole high school playoff and the same thing happened. Everyone was still named something like QB #2.

    When I did each of the above mentioned options and simulated the high school playoffs the generated names showed up perfectly fine.

    Any idea regarding why this is happening?

    I don't think it names the HS players, just the NCAA rosters.

      Hmm I don't remember them asking me that. I figured they just took whatever file was loaded.

        It does name HS player's, but the problem is it never works twice in a row.

        I made a DB with the named rosters, everything was ok. Once in college I started a RB, and said yes to name rosters. Ok everything is fine. Once I'm in college every thing is back to QB#13.

        So I erase it, because I want the names. So I do everything all over again. and once in college the names appear.

        Then I make a QB and the same thing happens! So right now I'm on my second go through.

        This is really BS! You guy's really need to make sure things work before you release it.

          This is what i found
          ---
          If you want to make a guy, and you load a roster and go into RtG with those rosters, it doesn't do anything. Goes back to the ****ty default.
          If you choose a player, then it has the new roster with names.

          I have not had a problem with names appearing, my problem has been rosters.

            you have to start from the beginning. with players still numbered than go auto generate the names and go straight R2G.

              Ok, has anyone figured this out yet? It is driving me crazy. I have tried everything suggested and nothing works. Nice work on the new mode, but this makes it useless. The only way I have gotten the names to show up once in college is by simming HS....

              Thanks...

                I'm telling you, you have to play the HS playoffs. Sign to a college. Quit, then do it again and the names are there. That's the only way I got it to work for me.

                  Just FYI, I've already posted about this in the B/G thread (bottom of P33).

                  I only had the players stick once but don't know what I did. Every other time after signing, the players are all "Pos. X".

                  I'm gonna try signing, save, leave and return and see if that happens.
                  Edit: didn't work, they're all still "Pos. X". Play or sim the playoffs, they're defaulted.

                  And BTW, I don't know if anyone's noticed but when you leave R2G, the rosters get reset back to default like a change was made because if you view the rosters and leave, it asks you if you want to save the changes (WHAT CHANGES?!)

                    I did see your post in the B/G thread last night before I posted here. Just thought maybe someone figured out the magic formula.

                    I have simmed the playoffs and got it to stick, but if you do that you always be a 4th string QB in college. It is always random though....

                    I really thought this was a nice upgrade to CL, but man this really kills it for me. Alot of wasted time just to get to that point (college) and them to default back. Nice work.....

                    Thanks again for the response..

                      To Adam/other EA people:

                      The game seems to unload any rosters you have once you get to college, which means on the 360 at least, it reverts back to the pre-EASC locker file (the horrible one on disc). This also was the case last year but '09 roster was fine so no one cared probably.

                        I never tried CL in 09, maybe I should, I do still have it. When the rosters reverted back in 09 were they still named?? Because they are not this year.....

                          No it would lose names if i recall correctly, the "would you like to generate names" thing was for your HS team only

                            I noticed this last night. I guess we'll have to wait for the named rosters, then restart our RTG.

                              I would like to know how their QA testers miss this stuff or if they just dont have time to fix it and stick it down at the bottom of the priority list or not even on the list. Or maybe they did this on purpose because they dont want anyone creating a player on RTG and using a team they edited with all 99 stats to make sure they are uber and lead the online leaderboard?

                              Still thats no excuse for the names not generating everytime. I ran into this also like the other poster said I had to remake my guy a couple times to get the names to work.
