Right, that's going to be the one kinda annoying thing that we can't fix, the year and schedule will remain 07-08 for the first year of a legacy.

Oh well....at least we still have a solid game to play instead trying to deal with that crap EA calls basketball.

Hey guys, I'd like help out with the roster. I can probably do at least the Big 12.

Re: PS3 Users: Anyone Want to Get an 09 Roster going?

Well, I just started off editing stuff from crques Final 07-08 set. So far I have completed Cinncy, UConn, DePaul and Georgetown in the Big East.

What I have done so far is...

- Change the class of all returning players
- Edited attributes for all returning players
- Created all freshman including attributes and appearances
- Edited lineups and rotation/minutes

Do you guys want to come up with a universal method of creating freshman? In terms of overall rating I was thinking something along the lines of...

5-Star: 77-whatever the max is
4-Star: 73-78
3-Star: 67-74
2-Star: 60-66
1-Star: 59 and below

There aren't any studs like Durant, Oden, Beasley, Rose, etc in this class so I don't think we'll have any freshman rated in the high 80's this season, at least not to start. We'll probably have a lot in the 80-85 range though.

Just an example, for the four teams I've done so far here are some ratings.

Cinncy
Yancy Gates: 76

UConn:
Kemba Walker: 79
Ater Majok: 78
Nate Miles: 75
Scottie Haralson: 69
Chuck Okwumba: 65

Georgetown:
Greg Monroe: 83
Henry Sims: 76
Jason Clark: 74


Thoughts? Comment? Suggestions?

Re: PS3 Users: Anyone Want to Get an 09 Roster going?

Your freshman ranking system is a good idea. Should we use Rivals for the star rankings?

We are also going to need to coordinate overall team rankings. I think we should try to agree on a Top 25, and go from there. I don't think many good preseason previews are out yet, but here are a few that I found.

ESPN - Tar Heels will be overwhelming favorites to win it all - Men's College Basketball

I used Scout.com for all incoming freshman because they also list strengths and weaknesses for most Top 150 players instead of just slapping a "star" ranking on them.

I'm having trouble finding a nice balance that won't cause fans of certain teams to cry foul if their incoming freshman are rated too low.

For example, I just finished up my rough draft for Louisville and 4-star recruits Terrance Jennings and Jared Swopshire are only 71's. They're rated this low because from all the scouting reports I've gathered both are pretty one dimensional players at this point in time - Jennings is a beanpole athlete who's a great shotblocker and defender but is as raw as they come on the offensive end. Apparently Swopshire is very weak and can't drive to the hole at all but has a great pull-up/mid-range game and is a pretty good three-point shooter.

Meanwhile, I have Gates from Cinncy (4-star) at 76 and Miles from UConn (also 4-star) at 74 overall. I'd like to keep all 4-stars at 73 and over like I said so I suppose I can make a few tweaks to get the the L'Ville guys into that range.

As for the overall rankings or Top 25, what I would suggest doing is creating the beta version of the rosters and listing out our Top 25 based on teams' overall ranking in the game. More than any year in a long time, the preseason Polls are going to vary greatly from publication to publication. I mean, I've seen UConn as high as #2 and as low as #15. I've seen Pitt as high as #1 and as low as #16.

It's going to be tough to please everyone, perhaps when we release each version would should just slap a disclaimer on it that this is our best effort and feel free to edit incoming freshman to your hearts content if you think we slighted or overrated a certain freshman.

I'm hoping to complete the Big East by tomorrow afternoon/evening.

Re: PS3 Users: Anyone Want to Get an 09 Roster going?

So far for the BE here's what I got for overall ratings for the top teams I've finished.

UConn: 89
Louisville: 88
Pitt: 88
Notre Dame: 86
Georgetown: 86

Right now the best player in the conference is Harangody at 91 overall followed by AJ Price at 89, Sam Young at 88 and Terrance Williams at 87.

Thoughts?

Upping the awareness ratings always seems to affect the overall rating the most, so you could try that with the Louisville guys. That way the OVR rises, but the skillset doesn't change much.

Are you going to edit player ratings for non-freshman?

Yes. Since it's based on the Final 07-08 ratings several guys won't go up much, maybe a point or two overall, while the top returning players are going up anywhere from 3-6 points from what I've seen so far.

Re: PS3 Users: Anyone Want to Get an 09 Roster going?

I also realized it's going to be a major bitch to try to keep the ratings consistent throughout the entire file. We are definitely going to have to go back through when we're done with v1 and compare certain players to make sure things aren't too out of wack.

As for the awareness thing, I had both UL recruits in the 60's for the AWR of the weak spot (O for Jennings, D for Swopshire) so I'm sure that has something to do with it.
