Good point. I didn't think about the roster sizes.Quote:

I'm headed to bed... I'll go through the teams tomorrow and list them. That said, I think I tweaked them before I started but I'd have to go back and look.
Either way though, I don't think 5 years is enough damage in the game as far as those ratings go.
For uniform changes can you make
Alternate Helmet:
Stripe 8
Style: Base color is white, stripe color is Mich blue
Chinstrap: white
Facemask: mich blue
Home Jersey:
Left Shoulder: Numbers: college-no outline, maize
Collar style: no collar
Chest logo: maize M
Jersey style: no pattern, color is mich blue
cuff style: no pattern
For my away jersey,
Collar: collar 2 in Michigan blue,
Chest logo: maize M,
Jersey Style: Stripe 67: Stripe Color 1 is maize, Stripe Color 2 is Michigan blue.
Left shoulder logo: Numbers: College 2-outlines: Base color M blue, outline 1 color M blue, outline 2 color is maize.
Cuff style: no cuffs
Default Pants:
Stripe 10
Left side logo: maize M
pants colors: base color is white, stripe 1 color is maize, stripe 2 color is mich blue
left front logo: maize M
right side logo: maize M
It'd give me a place to start. I'll create a handful of copies of the same team, with various ratings and see if there's a difference in the contracts.Quote:

Auburn's base template only has 2 ROLB... I can only do 1 of those and since that would leave you would with only 2 MLBs, I did the Smith move.Quote:

Okay, I tested seven Teambuilder teams with various settings for the Program Ratings. I based it on G's Arkansas ratings above for Season 6, plus kind of the average of the four teams he included.
Here's the ratings I used for the "Base" team.
Academics: B+
Campus: B
Coach Prestige: D-
Championship: D-
Athletic Facilities: C-
Fan Base: B
Pro Potential: D
Program Tradition: B+
TV Exposure: C
School Prestige: 1-star
The variations were as follows: High Program Tradition, Low Program Tradition, High Champ Contend, High Everything, Low Everything, and Base with a Lower OVR (I lowered everyone 70+ to below 50 OVR). All teams used the Cupcake roster template.
Just in case there's variation, I tested three times, including replacing different teams. There was no change on any attempt.
Team Contract Wins Goal Base 5 High Tradition 6 Low Tradition 5 High Contend 5 High Every 6 Low Every 5 Lower OVR 5 High Everything, Low Tradition 5
So it looks like the only thing that will bump us up to 6 wins is a High Program Tradition rating; nothing else matters. So here's what I would propose:
Academics: Whatever our school would be on the original roster (didn't change in your test)
Campus: Whatever our school would be on the original roster (didn't change)
Coach Prestige: D-
Championship: D-
Athletic Facilities: Five steps down from base roster (1 per year), or give everyone a C
Fan Base: B or higher (see next post)
Pro Potential: D
TV Exposure: B-
Program Tradition: The big question, eh? According to your table, this didn't change despite our teams hitting rock bottom for five years. So that makes me concerned about how quickly we'll be able to recover. Honestly, that surprises me, because in my test dynasty with our horrible teams, Ohio State's dropped like a rock after just one 1-11 year. Could you sanity check and make sure that they really didn't change? Because it obviously needs to be low so we have a 5-win contract, but if it can't go up, then we might be sinking ourselves long-term?
So, I just loaded up a dynasty with G's rosters. I can't explain this, but every time I go to sign a contract with Ohio State, it shows their Program Tradition as A+. Arkansas, for example, is B+.
I started a dynasty with Kansas instead. In the Pre-Season, I went to the My School ratings and Arkansas now shows as D. Ohio State is down to C-. But Ohio State's target wins is still 11, so that isn't a workaround for this whole TeamBuilder effort though. But it gives me an idea of what our Tradition ratings "should" be?
Arkansas - D
Auburn - D+
Florida - D+
LSU - C-
Michigan - C-
Nebraska - C-
Ohio State - C-
Oregon - D
Penn State - D+
Texas - C-
UCLA - D+
USC - C-
Fan Base doesn't appear to matter, or show up anywhere. I just tested two TeamBuilder teams, one with Fan Base at A+ and the other at D-. They ended up both being in the low 40k fans by the end of the year (in a 50k stadium) with 3-9 records. The team with the lower rating was actually higher. I'd say we just set everyone at B or higher, and just make it consistent across the board.
Proposed Team Ratings (areas that aren't all the same in bold):
Rating :Arkansas: :Auburn: :Florida: :LSU: :Michigan: :Nebraska: :Ohio_State: :Oregon: :Penn_State: :Texas: :UCLA: :USC: Academics

I'm cool with those team ratings.
Hey G, I just checked the uni's. On the default pants, can you move the logo from the right front to the right side and remove the left front logo. That way there are no logos in the front, and one on each side of the pants.Quote:

Now that I think about it wish we could have another alternate.
I'd ask for a black one as my alternate lol, like every other school has it seems
Hey G, the colors still didn't show up right. I'm just going to change my pants:
Default Pants:
Stripe: none
pants color: maize
left side logo: logo 2
right side logo: logo 2
Alternate Pants:
Stripe 15
Left side logo: maize M
left front logo: logo 2
right front logo: none
pants colors: base color is white, stripe 1 color is Michigan blue, stripe 2 color is Michigan blue, stripe 3 color is maize
right side logo: maize M
Also if you could:
Away jersey:
change chest logo from M to logo 2.
Logo 2: make the white background transparent inside teambuilder
http://insidepitch.org/wp-content/up...13/09/migh.jpg
Done.
Oregon completed
http://www.easports.com/teambuilder#...113:1404496012
Penn State completed. I had to use the Pitt roster template because PSU had no FBs on their roster.
http://www.easports.com/teambuilder#...113:1404659758
Texas, UCLA, & USC remain.
Nice.
I'm anxious to get another scrimmage in G if you have some time free. Know that process was a pain probably that you had to go through for us to play, but if your game let me know
Did y'all have to set up a test od? If we can still play unranked games with teambuilder teams, I'm down for a scrimmage tonight if anyone wants to.Quote:

Yeah... I had to setup a test OD. There's an option when setting up online games to use TeamBuilder teams but for us it would just sit there after it transferred data back & forth.Quote:

Texas completed.
http://www.easports.com/teambuilder#...113:1404677305
UCLA completed. Used Fresno State's roster template due to FB.
http://www.easports.com/teambuilder#...113:1404692907
Not sure if I'll have time to work on USC tonight or not but if not, I should be able to complete it tomorrow morning. Then I just have to go back and make sure all of the teams School Ratings are set properly and do a final check through the rosters.
Last chance for any feedback on rosters or uniforms.
All teams are completed including updating their School Ratings.
http://www.easports.com/teambuilder#...dt;ps3:1;sku:4
One thing I would suggest is for us to use the default rosters (named or random, either one) for all of the other teams that way we don't have to worry about any weird inconsistencies or bugs created from the dynasty generated rosters.
I'm fine with that. Can you fuse a random generated roster set in with the TeamBuilder teams?Quote:

Also JB, make sure you download the latest version of all teambuilder teams... There might be older teams with the same name (ex. 2 copies of Michigan).
I found this roster set:
http://www.operationsports.com/forum...aa-14-ps3.html
It's stored under the name randallb21. They're not completed but I downloaded it and it appears that at least everyone is graduated that should and most have had their ratings adjusted to some degree (ex Winston is a 99). I'd say let's roll with those.
Sounds good to me
I just saw your post, but those were the rosters I was going to post anyway. I'm going to play a test game at A&M with the same sliders I used last time.Quote:
