Mike Lowe Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Is there a mod(s) available to get the game up to a 2007 version? Obviously I'm not imagining there would be rosters but what about the actual structure. I'm looking to get into a solo career using either this game, OOTP, or EHM. I already own this and OOTP and am just trying to weigh my options. For some reason the EHM trial will not work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbergey_2005 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 The game has an option to start any year you would like. So if you install icy's all in one mod and change the date you will be set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Lowe Posted August 25, 2007 Author Share Posted August 25, 2007 Anything else from the 1.52 update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lowe Posted August 25, 2007 Author Share Posted August 25, 2007 Oh, and can you actually add a team to a conference without taking another team out? In other words, not quite sure how to add Temple to the MAC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooleyvol Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Change their conference affiliation number in the dat file from indies number to MAC's number. To get WKU in the original league, you'll need to add them into the dat file and put them in the Belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennywanchizoate Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Not only do you have to add them to the Belt, you need to make sure you give them a rival in the dat file as well. Also make sure to delete Temple's hard coded games in the SchedMatch table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooleyvol Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 I'm also not sure that the game will function with an odd number of teams in a divided conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnDvls Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 you can't have an odd number of teams...I've tried this and it bombs out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappy Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 [QUOTE=SnDvls;288960]you can't have an odd number of teams...I've tried this and it bombs out[/QUOTE] Actually, you can do it, but you will have to manually enter a schedule into the schedmatch table. And you'll have to edit every year, since it won't rotate. It craps out because you dip below the required 4 independent teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep Western Kentucky in Independents so the 4 team set in Independents is not reduced. Temple moved to MAC. In Schedmatch, what I did was change the 17(Temple) v 54(Notre Dame) to 120 v 54, and did the rest of the matches that 17 was to face other teams. Hope it helps. I have yet to try and see if it stays error free. Hope so!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know how to get round to it. Wonder if I put Temple back to Independents so as to make it 5 teams in Independents. Would it work? Would it sort out the MAC in-conference schedule games?

Cooleyvol Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Did you change the number of teams in the MAC to 13 in the conference table?..............and change Temple's conference affiliation from Indies to MAC in the teams table? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have mentioned it earlier. Indies are on already done with 4 teams with Western Kentucky in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooleyvol Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Its the odd number of teams in the MAC causing them to have no conference games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 [QUOTE=Cooleyvol;296754]Its the odd number of teams in the MAC causing them to have no conference games.[/QUOTE] Oh well, I have now made Temple go back to Independents with Western Kentucky so as to make the Independents a 5 team conference. Have now re-scheduled the matches in schedmatch table with Western Kentucky having got matches with other Indy teams. MAC is back to 12 from 13. So far, it is ok. Have yet to see some trouble. I suppose it is possible to have MAC a 14 team conference with same divisons but who would make up the 14th team? Cannot have Independent conference down to 3 team as someone said it would upset the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 On second thoughts, What would you say if I were to move: Western Kentucky and Louisiana Tech (WAC) to SUN BELT so it can have an even number teams and Northwestern out of BIG TEN to MOUNTAIN WEST to make the even number teams. and leave Temple in INDY or Temple to SUN BELT and leave Western Kentucky in INDY What do you reckon? Would it mess up the game as to get error messages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooleyvol Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Isn't that getting away from the '2007 file' aspect? I'd just add WKU and put them in the Belt, leaving Temple an indie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooleyvol Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 In the Belt, I'd say Middle Tennessee State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 [QUOTE=Cooleyvol;322711]In the Belt, I'd say Middle Tennessee State.[/QUOTE] I would have thought it would be Florida International. I noticed that in one of the sports reports on WKU's website as it was in college basketball that they do have a fierce rivalry with Florida International so I thought it would have been the same in college football. So I went with Florida International as its rival so next time I would use Middle Tennessee State as a rival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
