NCAA Football 06 PS2 Rosters - 2022/23 Season Update & NCAA Next '23 Mod

[antdroid]

NCAA Football PS2 - 2022 Season Rosters


Project Info:

This is a port of the 2022-23 Rosters from OperationSports.com for PS3 (Vikesfan059 & team) with some significant changes to convert from the PS3 to PS2 game engine using a Roster Porting Tool I created and have significantly modified and improved upon over the last 7 years. I will release a new version of the tool in the coming weeks once I make some UI updates to make it more usable.


Currently Supported Games:

NCAA Football 06 - Base FBS Roster in this post supports the original unmodified game ONLY. The NEXT 23 version mod has a modified roster built-in to it that IS NOT COMPATIBLE with this roster. The NEXT Mod is a complete and separate product.

NCAA Football 07 - Base FBS Roster included (119 teams)

NCAA Football 11 - Base FBS Roster included (120 teams)


The following teams did not have real rosters available and are using a "fantasy" roster using a Fantasy Roster Generator tool I created recently. This will also be released in the near future as well! These teams are:

UConn, New Mexico State, Idaho


Installation:

Emulation: Use MyMC to import the *.psu roster into your desired PS2 virtual memory card file (*.ps2). MyMC can be found here: http://www.csclub.uwaterloo.ca:11068/mymc/

ActionReplayMax: *.max files are included in the zip for this tool.

PS2 directly: Use *.psu file and put on your usb drive, and use Free MCBoot's uELFLoader software to install the psu to your memory card.

No downloads yet...

Progress Report 9/25:
Converted over Vikesfan&Co's OS PS3 Roster to PS2 for a master base, rejigged player ids to correspond to NCAA 06 team database, messed around with more bulk rating changes to make some positions less powerful, and created fantasy rosters for missing FBS teams using a new fantasy roster generator tool I made this summer.

Still working on some bulk edits to my conversion tool to make the rosters more realistic to the NCAA PS2 game engine.

After that:

I will create a master spreadsheet of 130 teams that I need to cut and splice into the various league structures that are in default 06/07 and NCAA 10/11 for PS/PSP and also my main priority, the NCAA NEXT 23 mod that I've been working a billion hours on with JDHalfrack this summer.


Release plan:

NCAA NEXT 23 discord preview test
NCAA NEXT 23
NCAA 06/07 for PS2
NCAA 10 for PSP NEXT

And after that, I'll consider making NCAA 11 for PS2 and NCAA 07 for PSP. Those are low priority for me this season. I am also working on a Madden NEXT mod as well, and making a roster from scratch on that one based on the Madden 23 game.

Re: NCAA Football 06 PS2 Rosters - 2022/23 Season Update & NCAA Next '23 Mod

I posted a preview version of the NCAA NEXT 23 Mods (hard game mods including built-in 2022 rosters) for Discord server, but I'll also share the link here:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/11CiEB0MEoj5-OmGdRRPG5sfFzGXUTzR8/view?usp=sharing

This assumes you are using the NEXT texture packs already, and instructions for all of this can be found here: https://wiki.ncaanext.com

This is the 2nd Preview released today. After I collect another round of bugs, and implement some even more new features (like updating jersey missing last names and nameplate colors), we'll be releasing a final version along with another new texture pack.

Re: NCAA Football 06 PS2 Rosters - 2022/23 Season Update & NCAA Next '23 Mod

This is pretty sweet. I just downloaded the rosters and it works like a charm on XBSX2 on my Series X. I have a question though. I thought I had read that most of the FCS teams would have updated/named rosters, but all mine are still just numbers. Is that normal? Thanks.

I didn't add an FCS only roster this year. If you use our NCAA NEXT Mod, it'll have FBS and FCS rosters built-in to the Game Disc/ISO

Re: NCAA Football 06 PS2 Rosters - 2022/23 Season Update & NCAA Next '23 Mod

Happy Black Friday to Everyone!
As you all probably know, EA delayed College Football 21 to 22 to 23 to 24 and now it'll be released as College Football 25! So, we'll need to wait 2 more years for a new game. So you all are stuck with us for a bit longer!

We're happy to announce NCAA NEXT v12.1 tonight!

This originally was planned to be a small patch of uniform and graphics fixes and small little dialog patches from V12 (Next 23), but it became a massive update.

We're still working on more updates but could not get them in a stable way to this current mod, so it'll have to wait til next time.

You can get the new updates here: https://download.ncaanext.com/
Instructions are there, and in https://wiki.ncaanext.com/

For those that like videos, I recorded a video a couple post above this one as well, and its linked in the wiki front page.

Please read everything! Some of the cool features require user modding, but they are not necessary for the mod to work!

Have a good weekend!

PS. The NCAA NEXT Cover Curse is real.
We made Dillon Gabriel and Oklahoma is having a horrible year for their standards. Then Bryce Young is having the worst Bama year in forever. A couple weeks ago, we made the current Hendon Hooker cover, and now, well... hope he's ok.



---- NEXT 23 UPDATE LIST -----

Updates and Fixes to V12
Additional alternate uniforms for other teams too by BUBeavers92, Talon, Robot, h4wduk3n, JD637, OK and !?, Antdroid, and others.
Many new uniforms added for teams across FBS and FCS. These are located in Alternates folder!

Renamed Bowls to match real-life bowls by Antdroid & Talon42 / Bowl Logos & Bowl Stadium Updates by Talon42
Talon42 has upgraded many of the bowl game logos and stadium artwork and together Antdroid and him have renamed several bowl names and stadium information to match current day bowl sites.

Transfers Expansion v2 for Dynasty mode by JDHalfrack
JDHalfrack has taken the previous transfers mod to overdrive. With some changes to the game code and some save template modding, we've now improved the game logic for who qualifies to be transferred increasing the pool by an order or two of magnitude (including reducing year count, regional restrictions, depth chart restrictions, etc.), removed transfer year eligibility restrictions, changed the transfer cap per team from 3 to 12, and increased the possible transfers database to 1524.

Gears & Accessories features by JD637, BaltimoreRavens and team
Recruits Database Gears and Accessories Realism Update by JD637
JD637 and BaltimoreRavens have been updating the gear and accessories graphics for a while now. Starting with V12, and with more improvements in V12.1, we've made it so the entire recruiting database can take advantage of some of the new graphic assets created for this mod, and to improve realism to match what players wear in real-life, and improved diversity/skin color.

Database improvements by Antdroid
There's been little tweaks and improvements to the game database to improve the league structure and stability and user interfaces.

Uniform Nameplate Fixes by Antdroid & JDHalfrack
Many teams that had missing names on the back of jerseys have had them made visible now with a special in-house tool created by JDHalfrack.

BCS Ranking Updates by JDHalfrack
This is a feature that mostly helps the future expansion, if we ever get there, but there is a slight tweak to the BCS calculation formula to take into account having 120 teams instead of the 119 default teams in this mod.

Team Logo Upgrades by Talon42
Team logos have had another pass through and updates where needed.

Helmet Updates by JD637
JD637 has updated the previous helmet appearances made by xflamesxofxhopex with some new helmet looks as well.

Menu, Dialog, and Disciplinary Caption Updates & Fixes by Antdroid
One of the cool features added in V12 was a fully-working and editable STRMDATA.DB file made possible by JDHalfrack. With that change, we are now able to update all in-game captions, headlines, dialogues, and other strings and features. This update improves upon the V12 changes and adds more dialog and captions variety to the game.

UI Updates and Fixes by Antdroid
There's a bunch of general UI changes to dynasty graphics and updates to sponsor logos and whatnot.

Updated Player Jersey number generation to be more realistic to 2020+ number rules by JDHalfrack
Player numbers now are generated to match new rules allowed by the NCAA, and now generated uniform numbers more closely align to realistic position/number combinations.

CPU Coach Career stat tracking by JDHalfrack & Antdroid
Previously, only User Coaches had stats tracked in a dynasty. With V12.1, we have enabled CPU coaches to have their records and stats tracked and easily viewed in Coach settings at any time.

Oregon "The Duck" Mascot addition by Antdroid and h4wduk3n
The Oregon Duck mascot is now an in-game playable mascot, and is also used for Oregon celebrations!

Hidden Conference Championship Bowl Games Mod by Antdroid & JDHalfrack
We have unlocked the ability to add more bowl games to the mod, however, this must be done by the user through DB Editor. With this, users can add two additional conference championship games or bowl games to the schedule. More info in the Wiki!

Touchbacks now are placed at the 25 Yard Line by JDHalfrack
This changes from placement from the old 20 yard line to the 25 yard line, which was made a new rule in 2012 by the NCAA.

40 Second Playclock by JDHalfrack
The 40 second playclock is now implemented as per NCAA Rule change in 2008. It was previously 25 seconds.

Removal of Stadium Cannon Celebrations by Antdroid
Yes.

Antdroid...thanks so much.

Any chance of getting this roster ipdate on NCAA 05 for ARMax also?

Re: NCAA Football 06 PS2 Rosters - 2022/23 Season Update & NCAA Next '23 Mod

Just to say thanks for this amazing initiative.

I'm playing in a PS2, and your roster to NCAA 11 makes this game fun to play.

Go Bulls!
