dave731 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Ok, here's my real names coach's file. There were a couple of guys that I couldn't find hometowns for and some of the records may be a little off as wikipedia had some errors that I tried to catch. Ages were also hard to come by for some of the coaches but I was able to get relatively close on the ones I couldn't find (would take their graduating year as 22 years old and added the years since). Hope you guys enjoy...I will likely look at going back in and editing ratings at some point to be more in line with real life but this was more than enough work for me as it stands. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PPOX2PUY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amazedbygrace86 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 How do I successfully load this file into FBCB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Nichols Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 1) Run the game and then go to tools 2) Click coach file editor 3) Click the open folder button. This will open the folder where the coach file must be placed. 4) Download the above file and place it in this folder 5) Start a new game and select "RealCoaches" under the dropdown box next to "Use existing coach file" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amazedbygrace86 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Brian, thanks for the help! However, after placing the file in datafiles folder and loading it in the game, only the first four names show up and then the rest of them show up like the attached picture (See "Real Coaches" below). What should I do from here? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Nichols Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 That seems like maybe the download didn't complete correctly. What patch version do you have right now? It should be displayed in the bottom left when you open the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amazedbygrace86 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I am running version 2.2.29. I believe that is the latest version out, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Nichols Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Yes, it should work fine with 2.2.29. I suspect that there was an issue with your download in this case since I downloaded the file from the same link and had no issues. I'd try redownloading it and if it still doesn't work, send the file you downloaded to heavyreign@hotmail.com and I'll see if I can locate the issue.

jhart05 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 This was still not working correctly for me either. Using that same RealCoaches file. The issue is First Names where there is a nickname in there. Example: James "Bruiser" Game doesn't seem to like the " " in that first name. I removed both of those and now file is working correctly. Nicknames Removed: - Flint, James "Bruiser" - Mitchell, Ron "Fang" It will work if you just remove the " " around the nickname. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Nichols Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 That makes a lot of sense even though it doesn't seem to cause an issue on my computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhart05 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Maybe it has something to do with the OS you're using? I still use XP. I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amazedbygrace86 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I am using Windows 7, and after taking out the quotation marks, I was able to get the Real Coaches mod to work perfectly. However, I'm not sure how to load it into my current dynasty (if that's even possible). I'm guessing I have to start a whole new dynasty, right?

jhart05 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Yep. You'd have to start a new league. Or go thru each team in your current one and change all the coaches names. P.S. I've been thinking of doing a "historical coaches" type of file. For example Bobby Knight would be coach at Indiana and John Wooden at UCLA. Then start them all out at around 35 years of age and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarghaz Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 1) Run the game and then go to tools 2) Click coach file editor 3) Click the open folder button. This will open the folder where the coach file must be placed. 4) Download the above file and place it in this folder 5) Start a new game and select "RealCoaches" under the dropdown box next to "Use existing coach file" I followed these instructions as best I could, but I still can't get it to work. When I click on "Use existing coach file", I still get "no" as the only choice. I am running Windows 7, and version 2.2.29 of the game. When the folder opens, it is a windows excel spreadsheet. I am running microsoft office 2007, if that makes a difference. Any insight would help a ton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhart05 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Yarghaz, Did you fix those two nicknames from my post above?. Are you sure you have it in the correct folder? The file can only be used when starting up a brand new career. You can't import it into an existing career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarghaz Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Did you fix those two nicknames from my post above? Yes. I tried to install it both ways (with and without the "nicknames"). I click on Coach Files, and notice that there are no files listed under available files. I click on Open Folder, and see that the RealCoaches.cf2(1) file is there. When I start a new game, I only have the 'no' option available when I click on the Use existing coach file dropdown menu. I notice that on the Player files that a button exists that says 'import csv', which I click on and the RealCoaches.cf2(1) file shows up. When I click on 'import', I get a "Run-time error '11': Division by zero error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarghaz Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Yarghaz, Are you sure you have it in the correct folder?i I have it in the: Users > Public > Public Documents > GDS > Fast Break College Basketball 2010 > datafiles folder. Is this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhart05 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 "RealCoaches.cf2(1)" That's your issue right there. The (1) at the end of the file name. Change that to read: RealCoaches.cf2.csv Looks like you have the global setting for showing file extensions turned off with your OS. Which isn't a problem. In your case, you would just need to delete the (1) after the file name, so the file name is just "RealCoaches.cf2". Then make sure it's still a csv file extension, and you should be good to go. If you want to rename the file, only the "RealCoaches" part can be changed. Still has to have the ".cf2.csv" at the end. Althou, the (1) came from your OS or email adding that on it's own.

LiquidSwords Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Yes can someone please upload this file. I am playing the demo and I would like to try the game out with real coaches if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt23134 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I have this installed in my current game but I can't find the download file anywhere on my computer. I guess I deleted it. If anyone knows of any way I could export the file, or somehow get it back to the file I downloaded before I installed it, then I would be happy to upload it.

Oyaji Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I know this isn't the most frequented forum on here these days, but it's March and I'm getting the itch to give this a go again. Could some kind soul please upload a coach file? Even if it's from 2010!, updating from that point in time is a heck of a lot easier than starting from scratch! Thanks in advance.
