When trying to play a quick game with OSU as the home team, the game will not go beyond the loading screen. It never changes to press spacebar, it just keeps flashing loading. I tried with different away teams and both full & lite rosters with the same results, so it appears to be something with OSU.
All the new teams loaded with no problems.
Thanks

OSU works fine i just tested...Maybe u should try to download and re-install... U might have left out a file...

I downloaded and reinstalled v1 lite, v4 lite and v4 full files. if I play a lite version quick game with OSU at home, it works fine. If I play a quick game full version with OSU as the away team, it works fine.
When I try a quick game full version with OSU as the home team, it still stays on the loading screen. it does not lock up or crash, it just keeps flashing loading on the NCAA cbs screen.
Could someone try to replicate with OSU as the home team in a full version quick game to see if they have the same issue ?
Thanks

This is usually a dorna issue. I'll look into it.

Update: I tried a home game with OSU in season mode full with the same issue, so it is not just with the quick game if that will help you.

Had JohnnyX run a test, and it's working fine for him. Re-download and install the LITE Part 2 and FULL packages and see if it works.

I had already re-downloaded lite part 2 and full package with no changes with the issue.

I saw your thoughts about the dornas and deleted the OSU dornas from my V4 full files and now it loads and works perfect.
The main dorna area is black with them deleted with O State on the end line dorna showing. The game is running fine with the dornas removed from my full files.
Update: I put the 2 dorna files back in one at a time and the issue is back when I have the OSU iff dorna dated 2-10-2014 installed. It loaded fine with just the iff.bak dorna.

Season mode still crashing after the game at the same point for me even after downloading the "fixed" roster. I customized the league, and did not replace Albany.

I edited some sliders to make it a bit harder, and some gear for the Arizona players, but other than that I didn't touch anything. To everyone testing out, it works when you sim, just not after you play.

[bigh0rt]

droc81yo, I'm tweaking the roster still to try and fix the issue. It looks like most teams had 'Salary' set to 0 (which I didn't do, but just fixed). Hoping this is what's been causing the problem. Let me know what gear you changed for the Arizona guys. I want it to be as accurate as possible.

There will also be a new Settings released with the next update.

[mcoll86]

it sounds like a peice with the dorma for osu was not saved properly. like wrong format. if the epices are not saved in there proper format the iff contain that peice in pput in game it could crash the game. it can currpet that iff file. i'd take a anther dorma known to work copy over it ous peices, being the sure the peices are sacrated wer rpoperly saived in ther right format seetings, then import them into the new.iff you choice to use. that will fix ous dorna

bigh0rt,
Gordon still listed as 6 4" , he is 6 9", seen this mentioned before.
Ashley is 6 10"
Tarcewski- get rid of straps on both knees
Johnson, left leg mid sleeve, team color 1
York , hex pads on both knees, Team color 1

Also I've never seen AZ all wear red socks, I would just leave them default color.

Everything else is pretty good, though I would rate Ashley higher, he was our 2nd leading scorer, and like an 80 overall, we are 2-2 without him. He should have better rebounding, blocks, and should not be over 70 on 3s ( he's 80) . I would also lower Johnson and Yorks 3s just a little bit.

Other than those minor things, you did a great job, and I'm having a blast. Never thought I'd have another college ball game after 2K8, and honestly the detail to stadiums, logos, jerseys etc is phenomenal, head and shoulders above anything 2k would of put out. It's amazing, thanks to everyone who made this possible.

[droc81yo]

Also, I'd like to create a.iff for Sean Miller, and update his portrait because it wasn't done by average joe, I couldn't find Spoulstra ' s name in the roster, do you know where the coach portraits and .iff are?

[bigh0rt]

droc81yo, I'll look at all those things. You planning on contributing any more CFs to the mod? Only further adds to that detail and realism you speak of.

The red socks are worn by Gordon and a few others. Maybe I'll just do it for him and a few others who wear the colored socks and have the rest of the team stick to all white all the time.

I see Kevin Ollie coach of the Huskies has Mark Jackson's CF but can use PNG0066 the is Kevin Ollie actual cyberface.

Had already updated this for the next update, but thank you, and if there's any other coaches hidden in-game in one way or another, please let me know, thanks!!

I'd like to do more cyber faces, it's just time intesive, I work and go to school full time, so not a ton of free time, but I can do some when I get chances, I'm going to do some on Syracuse next, once I can find a good head shape to go from its not too hard. The toughest part is finding a player that resembles the head shape. Editing the .dds and uv image editing, and Blender tweaks are pretty quick and easy. The time comes from finding a pngxxx.iff that has the head shape and hair style (and facial hair on the alpha mask), as well as a close skin tone ( I can't make a black guy.iff into a white guy, unless the .dds is a black guy, then I can pull the .2km ( head shape and hair) from any .iff) that will match up with the player.

If anyone wants a cyber face tell me what head shape ( The pngxxxx.iff) that I can put the face on and I can do it relatively simply.

You can always try starting with the bases that are already included in MM2K14. Some are pretty close (closer than others). Again, I'm thrilled to have whatever you can contribute!!

So I noticed last night while playing, I'm at work and forgot to write his name down, but there's still one player on UCLA who runs around with no head, and incredibly white arms, but has black legs lol.

Hmm, I'll take a look tomorrow. I'm locked into watching NCAA basketball all day, lol. If you or anyone else posts the perosn's name, I can fix it quickly. Thanks for the heads up!

bigh0rt,

I don't know if you got this yet, so sorry if you already did. I searched the UCLA lineup for you and the players name is Dwight Buycks. He is at the bottom of the roster.

I tried my career.. just passed the nba draft. no crash

Hi! I really would like to thank you guys for the hard work you are putting in this wonderful mod, I've been following the development since day 1! However I've just downloaded the lite v4 version, and as soon as I load the settings and the roster the game crashes. Is it only happening to me?

[Davin_Rizuki]

Nice on those V4..
Hope more teams added..

Try downloading and installing all files again. This is the first I've heard of this by anyone.
