You could put them in a spreadsheet and save them and when you are done give them to Holmey to put the rosters on the ndl2 site. Just a suggestion.
Kill two birds with one stone.

If anyone has this it would be helpful, but at the same time I did add a upload file to the rosters section so it should help anyone put a roster in that way

Had to stop for a second to run my free NCAA 13 giveaway but the Pac 12 is done except for the son of a bitch lineman for Colorado and currently have two LBs for WSU. i know who one is but I don't know which one and I can't find the other. That post will be in there roster help thread as I need to run to the store then i'll look myself.

I'm going to upload the file to my locker right now. If you download it to work on it let me know. If not, i'll delete it when I get home and start the Big 12

After about 12 hours of editing I am worn out.

Pac 12 is done. The Big 12 is done with the exception of Texas Tech and WVU. I forgot Nebraska went to the B1G so I did them as well.

Thabeet and I are planning on finishing the Big 12 and B1G today and then just going A-Z, making it easier to know where we left off. You can do this as well if you want, but if it would be more fun for you to do a certain conference or team/s then be my guest. My only request is that if you start editing a team, please finish it. Doing a few players, while it does help a little, isn't gonna do much.

To give you an idea, to complete an entire team will take 25-30 mins if you have a rhythm down and get lucky with few John Doe's and true freshman. You could be looking at about an hour or more if you're trying to get used to how to do it efficiently, so plan accordingly.

Again, we use this site for the roster: http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootbal ... _1:col_2=3

This site for true freshman: http://rivals.yahoo.com/illinois/footba ... 2/texas-83

If you cannot find a player, don't fret and don't go chasing all over the internet to find him. Just post in the roster help thread and someone will get it for you. I've noticed it is much faster to just ignore the player and comeback later, allowing someone else to find out who he is while you continue along your way.

The most important part is that you guys post when you grab the roster file and when you upload it. If more than one person is working on it simultaneously, someone is wasting their time. Also, once someone has posted that they grabbed your roster, delete it from your EA locker by going to roster share and hitting "delete roster." I wouldn't recommend deleting it from your PS3 just to be safe.

Make sure you have a USB or Bluetooth keyboard before attempting to do it. You'll go nuts trying to do it with a controller as a keyboard is tedious enough.

Try and be as accurate as possible, especially in your spelling. Mistakes will happen due to the sheer volume of this task as well as your eyes crossing after 30 minutes. But do your best and we'll fix the missed mistakes later when someone catches them. I also suggest doing what I do and after you finish a roster, sorting it by name and seeing if you have any duplicates. It's an easy and common mistake that's also easy to fix.

If you have any questions, hit me, thabeet or Block up on AIM. I'll be around later today and i'll be putting in many more hours of editing. I'm hoping we can get the B1G and Big 12 done early on today and then start hitting up A-Z. If you're happy with what named rosters we have and just want to name your favorite team to start a dynasty, be my guest. You can hit me up and request I do your favorite team if you'd like. But please only do that if you're gonna start a dynasty right away.

That said, my roster is in my locker. Someone post when they grab it and i'll delete it when I wake up.

Once my copy is delivered I'd like to get back in the rotation today. What's the schedule look like as of now?

I am grabbing the file now (11:10AM est) and will finish the MAC then jump into your A-Z method.

IM me at Austinx2k2 if you'd like an update or would like to take the file back.

so if we wanted to play with say a big 12 school right now, we could download your rosters from your locker and we'd have them and that won't mess anything up, right?

Yes but the Big 12 is still a work in progress. A few teams have not been named and few players have not been identified on the teams that are done.

Im at work till 11pm tonight, so you and Matt get what u can done, n when I get out I will see where we stand and maybe jump in if someone is tired.

You can't hurt anything because the actual file remains on my PS3. I'm assuming this question was hypothetical but if not, the Big 12 will be done when PSN updates and I get the file back from Block so I can finish Texas Tech and West Virginia.

Technically you could just keep downloading the file everytime we upload it and you'd have names if you played with any team we've done.

Once Cane is done i'll login and start editing. I'll post here when I do

As of about 4:10pm est the MAC is complete and the file is sitting in my locker waiting for Matt to take it back.

I suggested this last year and was ridiculed. Glad you guys are doing this, trust you all more than other sites. Wish I could help!

Well, there was no need for this last year because someone did them.

This is appreciated greatly.

I would help but I would be more of a handicap than a help. plus at work nights this week and sleeping during day.

Appreciate the effort guys, honestly.

k

Cane is at 93 percent so i'll be taking over any minute. I have a request to fulfill then I'll finish the Big 12, B1G and head A-Z.

Cane is done so I'm grabbing the file for another marathon

round midnight-1am est whatever you guys are up too, ill jump on and do a team or 3 (lol).. any progress is progress right?

edit: i forgot, going to the gym. when i get home at like 2 ill just take over with whoever left off where and just go with it for a couple hours.

im gonna do big ten after matt finishes up the big 12. im gonna leave Michigan undone since blocks helping he prolly knows more about the team than i will.

Texas Tech's roster is beyond fuck, both on CBSSports and Rivals. I am going to let Doc work on the Big East, then Nick on the B1G and then i'll take over for the night A-Z
