Where'd you d/l the rosters from? PS2 or XBox? How'd you get them on your machine?
Also, you have the option to change between ea trax and the original band music. Then there's always the option of turning the menu music off altogether...

This guy gives out rosters every year and does a Grade A job. These rosters make a good game great.

You will have to register in the forums.

Is Chapman kicking tail for anyone else, or is it just me? He is a terror out there. I am llike 7 games in and he has like 5 or 6 sacks, and a ton of tackles for a down lineman.

Any other surprises out there?

Not like Jamario is a surprise, but he is REALLY good in this game.

BIG DAWG · July 12, 2005

I just added the roster of the Mean Green myself from Campbell's mag. I know you can buy memory cards out there with all of the rosters loaded on them. you can find them on ebay and other sites for like $20.

mad dog · July 12, 2005

so you have the PS2 rosters for everyone in d-1 ball? Interesting. If you do, then would it be possible maybe for me to get a copy of your rosters sometime?

July 12, 2005

To download rosters you will need an Action Replay or MaxDrive. With those you download the file from the internet and load it into the USB connected memory card with the software that comes with the device. You then just pop the memory card into your machine and you have the rosters. If you have an xbox you will want to load the rosters from the memory card to your hard drive.

I've got an X-port and downloaded the first "official" roster file offered this year for NCAA 2006 on PS2.

The guy who does them does a helluva job. Highly recommended. He's got them avaiable for X-port and Max Drive.

I recommend buying a max drive, it's a lot easier to work with.

I love the series, but have one question....

Is there an auto recruiting feature. I like to spend my time playing and not recruiting.

I admit I had switched over to Sega, but have no choice now.

Playing a dynasty and not recruiting doesn't really sound like much fun, but I guess you could just leave recruiting assistance on and simulate all 5 weeks of the recruiting period. You won't get good players, but that is the only way to do it without doing it yourself.

Actually this version makes you start the recruiting process during the season.

To some it is fun, to me it's not. I do not like to micromanage. If I want to micromanage I like the old pc footballgames of the 90's. Anyone remember the old frontpage series. I know I am old.

Greeneagle87 · July 13, 2005

I'm in my fifth year,came into the season ranked 19th,am targeting 6 4 stars, 2 5 stars,and 2 3 stars.

Last season, I got 4 4 stars WR's to sign. That was cool

I like the dynasty way more. I'm gonna try out RFTH now though.

How come the black pants aren't in the game?!

They are not school colors...... GREEN & WHITE.

THANK YOU!

Greeneagle87 · July 13, 2005

I just would like to see them as alternate uni's.

I just started RFTH,and I am a LE,overall 82, on UNT and starting,just played an awesome game @ LSU.

it was 24-24, w/ 1:37 left in the 4th. LSU called a trick play, toss to the HB,HB passes to QB, TJ Covington(impact player) was in the zone,and he orces a fumble,brandon monroe picks it up,and we win the game

Jamario:26 for 134,2 TD's.

ME:2 tackles,1 sack

mad dog · July 13, 2005

well, beware MTSU and Arkansas State. FIU also gave me a run for my money, as did louisiana tech. Lousiana Monroe's Jyles is crazy (put a spy on him, he'll actually take off and burn you on occasion).

UNTFan23 · July 13, 2005

Why do some people get so bent out of shape cause we use a 2nd nuetral color (white is a neutral color btw) to go with green?

mad dog · July 13, 2005

well, ULL got the worst of it in this contest. 79-0. Ouch.

Got5onIt · July 13, 2005

I agree, where are the black pants???????????

NT_Mean_Green_Fan · July 13, 2005

so far i'm 5-2 Losses to Mid Tenn St. and Kansas St. Should've beat Kansas St. but got caught by them blitzing and fumbled on the option with 8 seconds left in the game with 1st and goal from the 3. Needless to say K-St recovered and killed the clock. Oh and Jamario is burning up the record books on my dynast. Through 7 games here's his main stats these do not include kick returns and punt returns

Rushing

218 carries for 2217 Yards with 32 tds

Recieving

4 catches for 202 yards and 2 td's

In the FIU game he had 24 carries for an NCAA record 444 yards rushing and 7 td's

mad dog · July 13, 2005

LOL!!!

Especially humorous in this game was Robert Harmon (6-4 265) meeting DB Quincy Skinner (5-10 170) through a little method called the "truck stick."

Ouch.

meangreendork · July 13, 2005

The game is great, minus the terrible EA Trax and the bad decision to put the lateral at the R2 button I also don't much like the awkward position of the sprint and juke stick (that can be fixed by going to the 05 control scheme). I don't run the option, and even if so, I don't want that button in such an easy-to-hit place. It should've been R3 or something else. I figure I can cut a notch out of the R2 or put some tape on it so I can feel it and not hit it by mistake.

mad dog · July 13, 2005

you know you can turn of EA trax in the menu, right? I had to do that first thing when I got it. Trax Sux.

untbowler · July 13, 2005

Just simmed one season, went 9-3.

Lost to MTSU, FIU (Belt Champs ) and got trounced by Tulsa.

Invited to LV Bowl defeated BYU.

Got 4 year extension and invite to CUSA to replace Rice.

Pretty fun but need to play more, hopefully tonight.

Ole Green Guts · July 13, 2005

Well, I started the Heisman mode and created a scramble QB, to go with the running backs we have. My player is Andrew Smith - - so far undefeated pulling out very close wins at MUTS and I think Arkansas State. I love this game, Andrew is at the top of the Heisman list with J - Mo close behind mostly because PC had to serve a 2 game suspension. Andrew is averaging 150 rushing and 100 passing. Jamario has over 1200 yards and I just finished the 6th game.

One thing I have learned is that there are certain defenses that will shut down certain offenses. I couldnt stop Muts, Ark State, or FIU until I found the defense.

j0nat8an · July 13, 2005

i'm trying my best to pretend like the game is not out yet until i get through my summer II classes (org. mgmt & HR mgmt) and can devote real time to it, but this thread is tempting me to drop my classes and go get the game. Five weeks seem so long!

The Jason · July 13, 2005

Did anyone else notice that when you play Middle Tennesse they have a banner in the endzone that says "www.goblueraiders.com". We need to get a GMG.com banner on there.
