Tentative NCAA 12 (2017-18) Port-"the missing season for NCAA 12"
(For xbox360 only; may port to PS3 later if it is completed; depth charts may be messed up, so auto or manual adjustment is needed.)...
-based on Bob NCAA 13 file (& Vikesfan NCAA 14 file).
It took a long time but I may have succesfully converted A thru M (Miami,FL) with editors so far. The coaches and teams were also ported.
But some coach ported data may crash game or freeze--file is untested.
May take another 2 weeks. since about 50 out of 120 teams that I completed thru Miami Florida took many days-- determining extra player to omit was hard.
But this file is untested. I will update this post later "if" completed.
update1: I removed the roster temporarily...didn't work...froze probably due to Coaches File or Teams file edited too much. I will reup with just the players mostly ported.
Update2: well it keeps freezing from just players, team rankings, and some coach names ported.
My player file may be causing the freeze. If I cannot figure it out I may just upload the CSV Excell files for anyone else to try.
Update3: I may have to abandon this project indefinitely.
For now I put a partial playable roster with some players. But it is terrible and buggy. It only has Player teams A thru M (Miami).
It was ported from an NCAA13 port from 11-2017. And ported into the old NCAA 2016 season file. Player overall ratings were really low and other wierd things. And depth charts were all strange. Grades of teams were low
-Later I tried porting directly from NCAA 14 1-2018 roster, but it Freezes when trying to play a game.
-Everytime I try to copy and paste more of the excel data into NCAA 12 csv, the result is freeze on startup of a game. very disappointing.
I included the csv Excel files from my latest attempt porting from NCAA 14: players from teams A-thru-N(Nevada). But this may be useless since it last caused my game to freeze.
-I included the 2016 season roster I was using as BASE to copy new edits into. So maybe the freezes occured because of using this file. Unsure..I used that file since it had 2 more players added to roster so 2 teams could have 69 player rosters, instead of 68 players...

(I suspect Game Freeze may have resulted from one of the Excel columnns of data from NCAA 14/13--I never figured it out. Either that or it was because of deleting a player from each NCAA 14 team so some positions may have too many players, while others not enough players, so proper number of players at each position may be needed. ...but never figured out the cause of freeze at startup. )
------------------
Update Final:
I successfully made a 2018-19 conversion with some issues. (But I still recommend just picking up NCAA 13 for less $$ instead of waiting on this being made; I tried in late Sept again, but same freeze issues. This ncaa 12 project was sidelined on and off until I finally made it succesfully in Fall 2018.>>HERE)
