Seeing how we are not currently getting a new game this summer, I have started a project to create a dynasty save that when simulated will mirror the real 2013 season and allow the player to start their dynasty at the 2014 season.
I am very early in the process, but have managed (using the various editors and some hex editing) to get the actual 2013 schedule into the game. It includes USC and Colorado State's 13th regular season game among other changes.
My next step is to start simulating seasons using this edited schedule to check for freezes and errors.
I wanted to put up a thread now to check interest in this project. Also, I will likely need some help with the various tasks even though I am automating as much as possible. I am using the awesome College Football Data File found at www.cfbstats.com to help me in getting actual (results, game stats, player stats, etc.) into the game.
My end goal is to have dynasty saves available after each step with the final one being in the Preseason stage of the 2014 season. This will allow you guys to pick a file and start your dynasty anywhere you want along the way.
All that being said, here's the preliminary list of what I want to accomplish and the first file with the schedule done:
Preseason
Actual 2013 Schedule: XBOX360: dynasty-schedule - PS3: dynasty-schedule (Thanks to Arrowhead29)
Record Books
Redshirts
Pre-Season Polls
All 2013 Recruits 3 stars and above included
Coach Job Security updated to reflect real-life hirings and firings
Regular Season
Game-by-Game results
Injury Updates
Week-by-Week recruit commitments
Post Season
All Bowl results
Medical Redshirts
Off Season
Coaching Changes
Players leaving
Transfers
Recruits signings
2014 Preseason
2014 Schedule
That's what I am looking to do so far. Again, this is just a preliminary list. I'm open to any suggestions.
So, grab the first file and see what you think. Let me know if you see any obvious errors in the schedule, and more to come soon, I hope.
