Creating 2018 (or any season) schedule

[ugagsu]

I am working on the 2018 FULL schedule. It is not hard and kinda goes quickly. I use ESPN site and just go to scores and the week and do each conference at a time. You can do this for any season. From what I have found, 2013 and 2014 pretty much match the actual schedule for that season..2015 and beyond may be a different story.

Is this for xbox360 or PS3? Also how do I import the xbox360 schedules I have tried several approaches (including sportsgaming1 guide) but have not been able to get it to work.

If you have a schedule you downloaded , you may have to unzip it and get a .csv file of the schedule. Open Dynasty file in.the editor . select the "I/O" tab and choose Import. Select the middle option "Overwrite existing.. " or something like that.

Re: Creating 2018 (or any season) schedule

I tried to follow your steps but still not getting the tabs in the editor to show anything. Did you use the "NCAA Dynasty editor" or the "EA DB Editor" did you have to unencrypt the files first using "Bruteforce save data" utility?

In essence I am trying to get the schedule to be imported to an offline dynasty I created and saved before I played any games or started the preseason. I have the following:

- a csv file of the schedule I want to use
- a dynasty file in my usb drive
- the Bruteforce save data utility
- the NCAA Dynasty editor
- the EA DB Editor
- Horizon (which I've used to successfully import rosters)

Is there a step-by-step guide to importing a schedule into a dynasty using any of the above tools?

I am not sure how to import a schedule on XBox. I downloaded a zip file of a schedule for PS3(2016) and unzipped it and was able to import it into my PS3 dynasty file. I created a schedule on Xbox. I will detail the steps in the next post. I screwed up because I missed "week 0" , August 23-25. Only 4 games go that week. I had the whole season but everything was off a week.

Re: Creating 2018 (or any season) schedule

Here are the steps to how I created my 2018 schedule:
1. start a dynasty file and save to USB.

2. Open Horizon and extract the dynasty file by selecting it and choose "extract all".

3. Open whichever editor you use(if you want teambuilder teams you must use PocketScout's version 3.10 as it is the only one that will accept teambuilder teams) and I would recommend Xan's config as it has the SEAI tab. I did not see it on any other config.

4. Under "Unknown" find the SEAI tab(there is like a hundred tabs). Change "Year" to 5(2018). Use "I/O" to export just that tab. Choose "Dynasty season" as key(worked for me). Open file in excel. ignore messages about data loss.

5. Change "SSYE" and Year to 5. save and return to editor. You can leave editor open. Import the .csv file whatever you named it("your team"2018).
It will change Year back to 0. change back to 5 and save. Do the whole save/rehash/resign etc in horizon and re load game. It should now say "Preseason 2018" (hopefully).

6. now, save a separate file for "schedule". I am about to look into playing with conference re alignment during the dynasty set up phase to see if I can get a set up that very closely resembles the conference schedule. Rather than try to re-do every game for all 14 weeks, try to get something as close as possible. Basically, put Alabama-Louisville, Mich-ND,Auburn-Washington,FSU-VT, Miami-LSU in week 2.

Re: Creating 2018 (or any season) schedule

I have finished and tested a 2019 schedule. I will do 2018 soon. It passes all the way to Conference Championship week with no problem. However, some games are missing as there were not enough games in the editor in some weeks, and I ran out of weeks to move games.

Also, these are the teams I added and the teams I replaced:
App St- Wake Forest, GA Southern- Old Dominion, Coastal Carolina-UTSA, Charlotte-UAB, Liberty-Temple. In addition, I moved Wake Forest and UTSA to the Sunbelt, and moved Syracuse to Independent .

Here is the schedule

I still may do the full exact schedule at some point. I will have one that I know is free of error and quicker to make, then the full schedule is just for ****s and giggles

Re: Creating 2018 (or any season) schedule

After taking a break for a few weeks and thinking about it some more, I am rejuvenated to try this full schedule thing again. I think I may have it now. I hope to be done by this weekend and I will give a test run sim through the whole season up to conf Championship week. When I get it fully working I will zip it and post it. This is for the 360

I dont know if youve already made your schedule, but if you follow the link below, I provided a step by step process on how to import the previously made 2018 schedule into a dynasty on the 360

Re: Creating 2018 (or any season) schedule

I haven’t. Thanks I will try yours and I still may do one. I made one by taking control of all head coaches and editing non conference games to include Alabama vs Louisville, LSU vs Miami, Michigan vs ND, etc.

Now that I am caught up to this week in the 2018 season with my partially correct schedule I can experiment with the full correct schedule just for the hell of it

Re: Creating 2018 (or any season) schedule

at this point, with the 2018 season over in less than 2 months I am just gonna experiment with different schedules by playing with moving teams out of conferences and back in and playing with crossover rivalries(while keeping traditional rivalries such as Bama/Tennessee and UGA/Auburn intact.) and see what schedule it gives me. It may give UGA a different second West opponent than LSU but I kinda like going my own way and not just duplicating the exact schedule. Besides, after multiple trial and error, I have come to the conclusion that it's next to impossible to guarantee that there won't be errors at some point.

Re: Creating 2018 (or any season) schedule

Hey so is there a way to correct the scheduling issue after the first year of a dynasty? Like when all the conference games are bunched together as all home conference games are all in a row and so on for the road conference games.
