Re: NCAA Football 14: 2015-16 Roster Update (PS3)

Edits that Need to be made for teams not yet adjusted to fall rosters:

UMass:

Looks like most of the team needs height/weight updates, don't worry about faces.

Replace:

LB Rodrick --> S James Oliphant
K Caggiano --> K Blake Lucas
With the extra spot, add G Dan DiNicola

Depth Chart Note: Rodney Mills should stay at TE. Don't know who Whipple is fooling by placing Mills at FB on the depth chart.

Air Force:

Notes pending from Sean15012

Buffalo:

Unknown what needs to be done at this stage

Central Michigan:

Just height/weight/number changes for all players (depth chart itself just needs to be set, everyone should be in the right places).

Georgia St.:

Unknown scope of edits

Idaho:

Remove CB Isaiah Taylor (dismissed, can find a link if necessary)

Unknown scope of edits for heights/weights/numbers/classes (NOTE: No depth chart released)

Kent St.:

I think just depth chart edits (heights/weights checked out IIRC)

There were two players (don't have written down, I know one was DE Sam Karam) who I don't recall editing and need removal. Any new names on the depth chart can replace them once I get the other name.

South Alabama:

Unknown Scope of edits -- I think there were a couple guys who have transferred back to UAB who need removal.

Troy:

Almost complete -- I have them covered.

UCF:

Remove RB Will Stanback (dismissed)

Vikesfan, please remove UMass from the completed teams list and place them in the almost list.

When muckcity's partner edited them, their freshmen were added, but no other necessary changes were made. A little upset that he took them, but at least he did some of the work for me. I will be working on them and will notify when complete.

Thanks for making this thread.

EDIT: Sorry, didn't see the don't post part. Haha.

Ah, my mistake, I assumed it was you that was working on them. It's alright if any of the editors post, I just want community roster suggestions to remain on the main thread unless jackster802 remains MIA for awhile.

Were there any punctuation edits required for Toledo?

OK, glad I didn't make that mistake. And no punctuation.

With the editor is it possible to make ND have a heavy ACC schedule w/o them actually being in the ACC?

Re: NCAA Football 14: 2015-16 Roster Update (PS3)

My thoughts on the Ohio State roster:
Raekwon McMillan is #5 but it is hard to get both him and Braxton to both wear #5 on the game.
Jalin Marshall is going to wear #7 this upcoming season, even though he has been wearing #17 this spring. This could be a hard switch though because Damon Webb is wearing #7.
The depth chart is pretty much perfect but I feel that Ezekiel Elliott should be rated above an 85.
Everything else was pretty good except Justin Hilliard is going to wear #47 this season.

Duplicate numbers aren't a problem, they can be fixed with the editing program. I base OVR rating on All-American/All-Conference teams. The most recent one available was the B1G post-season list where Ezekiel Elliot was only an Honorable Mention (Media) which would correspond to an 85 OVR. The next lists I will be using will be the Phil Steele 2015 Preseason ones but they aren't out yet. When they're released, I expect Ezekiel Elliot will be getting a big boost.

I will add the duplicate numbers to the first post and will fix Hilliard's number next time I get access to a PS3.

Also, on Ohio State, if Jamel Dean is still on the roster, then take him off because he is leaving the program due to not being medically cleared to play by the OSU Med Staff.

For whatever reason, on the new roster, in the Ohio State roster it has Noah Brown listed as a FB which is not true, he is a WR. Also, Justin Hilliard is still wearing number 38 when he should be wearing number 47.

I still haven't gotten access to a PS3 so when I do, I will update Ohio St. I was planning on moving Brown to the #5 WR spot and Samuel to the FB spot since he has moved to H-Back in the spring. This would allow Marshall, Wilson and Samuel to see a a good amount of playing time. Does this sound accurate?

If I were you I would just keep Samuel at RB and make Bri'onte Dunn the #2 RB on the depth chart. This would allow users to then substitute Samuel manually into different spots while still have Ezekiel Elliott at running back. Also, Noah Brown will probably be higher on the depth chart than 5. Osu coaches have fallen in love with him in spring.

The problem with keeping Samuel as a HB is that unless you are playing as Ohio St., when the computer reorganizes the depth chart in Dynasty he will most likely be the #1 HB when Elliot leaves. This doesn't reflect his move to H-Back. Since EA doesn't have customized positions for different offensive schemes, H-Back is a hard position to place. I don't really see Brown rising above Thomas, Smith, Marshall or Wilson so if he is to be higher than 5, 1 or more of the H-backs need to move to FB. I see four possible scenarios, which would you recommend?:

Scenario 1:
FB: Samuel
WR: Thomas, Smith, Marshall, Wilson, Brown, etc.

Scenario 2:
FB: Wilson
WR: Thomas, Smith, Marshall, Samuel, Brown, etc.

Scenario 3:
FB: None
WR: Thomas, Smith, Marshall, Wilson, Samuel, Brown, etc.

Scenario 4:
FB: Wilson, Samuel
WR: Thomas, Smith, Marshall, Brown, etc.

As can be seen in this chart, a HB, FB, or WR can still play any of the other two positions so custom subs are still available. A lot of the issues will be cleared up when Ohio St. releases an official depth chart.

After reading through this comment, I can see the benefit of using scenario 4 as an H-Back position even through it is written as Fullback. If you were to make that switch, then you would also need to move Parris Campbell Jr to FB as well. The one flaw with the switch is that in the spread offense the "FB" position almost never sees the field on the game. What would your solution to this problem be?

That's a valid concern and you're right, FB isn't used very often in the spread playbooks in the game. Unfortunately, EA used Pro-style positions as a standard for all playbooks in the game which makes creating Spread teams with unique positions more difficult. That combined with the fact that the "Spread" playbook set for Ohio St. (or any playbook in the game) is not the Power Spread that Coach Meyer runs make it impossible to recreate the H-Back 100%.

One other option I could do is set all H-Backs to receiver but still place Wilson, Samuel and Campbell Jr. under the FB depth chart. The depth chart would look something like:

FB: Wilson (WR), Spencer (WR), Campbell Jr. (WR)
WR: Thomas, Smith, Marshall, Wilson, Samuel, Brown, etc.

When a formation requires a FB, Wilson will fill that spot and Samuel would be a #4 receiver (there are no formations with a FB and 4 WR but he would act is a fill-in #3 WR if there are injuries). When the formation doesn't require a FB, Wilson will be the #4 receiver. This will only work for 1 year however (unless the user controls Ohio St.). After playing the first year of Dynasty, the FB will no longer be a position for Ohio St. and all H-Backs will be receivers. The downside is that this will push Brown down to the #6 receiver unless you set up specific formation subs to make him sub for one of the actual receivers (Thomas & Smith), which I don't think I can set using a roster download file.

I would just go ahead and do that, but as you can see, I changed Samuel to HB in your comment, because I think that would make more sense because Samuel is not going to be playing wr this season. If he's not playing the H-Back position he will be subbing in for Ezekiel Elliott at running back.
