On July 9th, possibly slightly before hand, the Playbooks site will be moving from playbooks.ncaaplaybook.com to www.simsports.net - I've redesigned and added a few more features which include Madden playbooks, playbook searches on both default and custom playbooks, the ability to see single play information and similar plays, as well as an intergrated forum. Future improvements will include a League Manager (much like League Daddy) which will archive data across game versions and give the ability to get previous seasons stats unlike the EA website, and a scouting application which will work much like a virtual coordinator. The League Manager and scouting application won't be available at launch as they are still in development however.

The bad news is that the database will not be moving over from this site, once simsport.net goes live please feel free to move any playbooks over from here as all the NCAA 13 data is currently being loaded, I will keep this site up and running until Jan 1, 2014 however I will not be adding the NCAA 14 data here.

Thank you,

Oneback

I don't know that it will be the next Utopia - when I took over the playbooks site last year I had a lot of ideas on how to improve the site and items I wish that were available for Powerhouse OD, so I set out to create them and needed a place to put it all.

Just a little update, I'm running behind entering all the play data from NCAA 13, hoping to catch up by the end of the weekend and launch the site on July 9th, if there are snags I see EOD Wednesday, maybe early Thursday before the site launches. I'll start entering NCAA 14 data hardcore on the 11th as I took that Thursday and Friday off.

Can't wait Oneback! As a former Utopia lurker when I first started playing NCAA, I can't wait to see this :). Perhaps then I'll finally be able to get away from using Google Cache results to read Utopia strategy content :P.

Thanks guys - unfortunately I'm running alittle bit behind as I didn't have as much free time as I thought I would over the weekend. I'm hoping to have the site live by EOD Thursday and the bulk of the data put in for NCAA 14 by EOD Sunday.

I know. You have to learn sometime though. I feel like waiting for rosters is more of a blessing in disguise because I get to test out a bunch of stuff without knowing I can start my dynasty now.

Yep. I'm running test dynasties for now working on sliders with my dynasty team, and trying to relearn recruiting and build new methods since my old methods are completely unusable with the new changes. So rosters don't make the least bit of difference to me right now. It's a nice place to be in. :)

This shows you how long I've been out of the loop, when did Utopia go away? When I click on my bookmark it takes me to OS.

So, I grossly underestimated the amount of time it would take as I'm still entering team playbook information for NCAA 13. I'm making good progress each day however it still takes about 30 min per playbook. At the rate I'm going the site should be up and running this weekend as there is a few minor items I need to clean up first.

In comparing NCAA 13 and NCAA 14 plays not a lot changed, so I'll be coping the NCAA 13 plays over to NCAA 14 and filling in the blanks, this way everyone can use the site as a reference while I enter NCAA 14 playbooks.

I apologize for the delay - hopefully the wait will be worth it.

I was the same way. I got busy and stopped playing NCAA last year. With the release coming up, I went looking to freshen up on Ligerborn's Shootbone and about cried when I couldn't find it! I had this site bookmarked only because there were a few references from Utopia to this site, and I am thinking this might be my new home for Xs and Os. Between the new playbook site and this forum... hopefully I can get my act together and play some decent football!

I am working on a new Shootbone writeup, will be a pdf this time available at multiple places so it doesnt get lost or broken cause the pic links no longer work due to a dead site. I am hoping to have it ready end of the month.

Oneback,
A couple of years ago you posted a scheme to use with Alabama when Jim McElwain was the offensive coordinator. I am thinking NCAA 2011 was the platform being used at the time. Is there a possibility you still have that scheme or could you point me in the direction on the internet where it is. The scheme was very successful online. Thanks in advance.

I assume you had those links to the old playbooks site, which was moved in august of last year when I took over - it will move one final time but should be up by this weekend.

yeah the main links I have and got its was all the pick links inside the write up that got daunting, and by that point I was so discouraged with the game that I just didnt try to change them. There was prolly well over 200 pic links in the writeups, that when things changed servers were broken.

So this time I will do the writeup as a pdf and post that in the writeup section of the new site. as well as other communities, Of course it wouldnt be possible with out the hard work done by yourself and previously will and others for the images.

The playbooks site is up at simsports.net. I've only got the NCAA 13 plays displaying right now, however I'm about 80-85% done with entering NCAA 14 plays and should be done early this upcoming week. I've only got a third of the NCAA 13 team playbooks inputted thus far, however after registering for the site you're free to start moving your NCAA 13 playbooks over and browsing the site - if you choose a default team playbook that hasn't been loaded yet you'll have to enter all the formations/plays manually until I finish getting all the playbooks in.

Additionally, things are functional, however I still have a laundry list for things I'm working on.

Thanks for your patience while I continue to work on the site.

Best,

All of the NCAA 14 plays have been uploaded and NCAA 14 is now active on SimSports.net. Just a reminder that I will be going through and double checking all of my work so there may be some changes/plays misplaced, etc (hopefully not many). You're free to start making NCAA 14 custom playbooks, however since none of the team playbooks have been inputted you will need to build your playbook from scratch until all the team playbooks are inputted.

You need to activate your account, when you registered you should have received and email with an activation link, click on the link and that should take care of the problem - if not let me know.

I'm looking to see if anyone would be interested in entering default team playbooks for NCAA 14 and 13 starting Saturday. The process takes roughly 30 min per playbook and its no different than creating a custom playbook on the site. If interested please post in the following thread as I'll need to give permissions:
