Been awhile since I've had a new roster but I've been working on an updated all time roster leveraging work from Playmakers and hurtstown that is nearly complete. I saw some people were having issues with the latest roster hurtstown posted due to duplicate player IDs and team ID issues in the raw data, I cleaned that up so it shouldn't be an issue when you are loading into DB editor or playing games.

I loved hurtstown's idea to combine some smaller schools into regional all time teams so there aren't a bunch of unusable teams in the roster. I took it a step further and used other small schools as all time rosters for all decade teams and all time all conference teams. I used my ratings method (up to the 127 scale for all time greats). Ratings for players that appear in my other rosters are generally the same in this all time roster. I tried to have some variation in the all time teams. For example I tried not to just put all ND players on the all time Independent team, so there are guys on there that played while their team was an independent, even though that team is in a conference today.

I'll update this post when the roster is uploaded, should be by the end of next weekend. Attached is my excel tracker I've have been using if you want a preview of the teams. Highlights are the remaining names to create. Have fun, feel free to use it for any projects and edit how you see fit. Shout out again to Playmakers and hurtstown for the original files and the inspiration.
