Who

I have been editing rosters since NCAA in the late 90's, back when you could only name 12 teams. Beginning with NCAA 05, I began doing roster updates to already released named rosters. A few of these I released on psxsports/earosters.

The last few years I have done less in depth roster edits for myself and select friends. This year I decided to do a deep ratings edit and release it for everyone to use.

What

I just completed a spreadsheet with ~1,000 players on it that I will use to update the default named rosters (I am using a simple named roster with all players and coaches named. The origin is unknown. I'm guessing it was a "paid" roster that is being passed around).

There are roughly 300 seniors, 300 juniors and about 400 combined freshmen and sophomores on my list. All of these players will receive a ratings edit in this update. This will be a great update for dynasty users!

When

I anticipate having this ready for everyone to use by the end of the weekend. I will post periodic updates when I can, but don't expect it to be done before Sunday evening.

Where

I will be releasing the roster update here on OS as well as TSO and TGT. I will have it available to download via an EA Locker as well as a USB drive.

Why

Because I love editing rosters. I don't know why, but it is something I have always loved to do. It is time consuming and a thankless job, but it enhances my game playing experience and I hope it can do the same for others as well.

How

I will be using my spreadsheet only to update ratings. There will be very few (if any) edits to appearance. Ratings are the most important element to a roster IMO. So, that will be the focus of this update.

All of my information was obtained through various sources including draft experts and scouting sites. I will occasionally use my own opinion to rate a player (only if I have lengthy video on them), however, I generally use the opinions of draft experts and scouting services to create my ratings. I figure people who get paid to rank players probably have a better idea than I do. My job is simply to use that information and convert it into a player's rating.

I will let you guys know when it is ready!
