NCAA March Madness 2015-16 V2.5 MINOR UPDATE (1.10.16)

[Bobs_Road]

Is there any way to play the NCAA Tournament, with 64 teams in this mod? This mod is awesome, and thanks for all your hard work!

Unfortunately no 64-team Playoff. Closest you can do is Playoff Mode with 1-Game Series. Thanks for the kind words.

I just got, finally, the proper font for California's jersey #s so I re-worked them and will release all 4 updated jerseys in the next update. I'd also like to do my own Arkansas, if it's okay with Mr. Bobs_Road.

PLEASE PLEASE DO!! Mine were just experimental...to see how bad I was at Jersey making.

I made the mesh design just by eyeballing the TV. Its not real close but it sufficed for me. I needed to go back and put the boarder around it. buuut never did. The number s needed to be moved up also.

The numbers are from Conrads razorback 2014 font pack here https://fontsbyconrad.wordpress.com/2014/06/06/college-misc-fonts-pack-3/

Thanks for re-doing these correctly.

Bobs_Road, when you say the numbers need to be moved 'up', what NBA jersey has correct number placements? I'll just work off of that one.

I had Conrad's old Arkansas font. Was grabbing new ones last night (hence, the Cal update). Hadn't seen that one yet. Perfect.

Big, Im not seeing any of them that put the number up a bit higher on the back, so just used whats already there I suppose. Might be harder to fit the mesh on the back.

Bobs_Road, download the update and let me know what you think of the Arkansas uniforms. I gave them the 'net' mesh back texture, as I tried to get the Razorback logo in with the mesh and it just wasn't jiving or looking right. All new alphas, too.

[Bobs_Road]

Nice work! They look great. Thanks for the update.

[bigh0rt]

Bob, reme, or anyone who is interested. Some of Conrad's fonts, I'm unsure of what school they belong to. I've used a lot of them for numbers on uniforms, but just recently got, for example, Missouri, so will be updating their uniforms as I did with California.

If you could let me know if there are any teams included in the Mod who have specific fonts that he's used (some are easy to identify, but others not so much), I will cross-check with the uniforms, and update them accordingly. For example, I'm going to check to see if I used his 'Nova' font for Villanova. I might have, but I don't remember.

It's not end of the world stuff, but if there's something I can update and make more accurate, I have no problem doing so. Also, if I'm updating numbers, etc. I'll slap new conference logos, etc. on, which I probably otherwise wouldn't do.

[bigh0rt]

Included in next update will be... updated Missouri # font, added Missouri black Alt with White Lettering and #s, new Georgetown Navy uniform, hopefully updated Louisville uniforms by Pepis, and so far, this Armed Forces Classic Louisville uniform that I just finished...

Awesome looking unis! Can't wait for next update

Was going through a bunch of my old files and came across a 40-team pack for the NCAA Fox Scoreboard you guys did last year...is there any chance we could add that as a presentation option in the future, perhaps just for change of pace purposes? If not, no big deal though. Thanks again for everything

[bigh0rt]

I generally stick to CBS cause they carry the tournament. I'm unsure of the content you're referring to. I know there's some Fox stuff that was made by banned users that I can't imagine I have permission to use.

[ryan4889]

Ok, no worries man. I noticed while searching I asked the same question last year lol so I am sorry bout that one.

[bigh0rt]

Also working on UMass' new 2014-2015 uniforms... done with Home...

[bigh0rt]

Finished Florida's new unis too...

[ryan4889]

Dang Big, you have been busy

If you have the time/desire to do Kansas' update, you could use last year's model as a good base and just update the collars and such, and I would be forever grateful. If not, no biggie.

[bigh0rt]

Reached out to Mongolgamer about using his college cyberfaces he's been posting previews of. Should hopefully be able to add those to the mix in the near future. Also did some minor menu tweaks. At some point in the future, I'll re-bundle everything into their original files, and release a v2, and everyone will need to re-download all the parts, as the Update file is getting large.

Just noticed Carolina is misspelled for NC State

Guys,

I'm looking to create some content for the main page of the site, as opposed to just the forums, promoting this mod, as well as NCAA basketball in general. If you have a My Story idea, whether you're running through an Association, or even just a Tournament to try and mimic the Sweet 16, I'm interested in hearing about it, and translating it into Main Page content. I just need a brief narrative, stats, upcoming opponents, and some screenshots and/or videos that I can fancy up and include my own analysis on. This is a tremendous piece of work and deserves to be plugged, popularized, and supported, and I plan to do just that.

Unfortunately, I still don't have a current working gaming PC, otherwise I'd be doing my own, plus I'd like to get your perspective, from your favorite teams that you follow and can provide insight on (maybe you think your favorite team's PG should have a better dribbling rating, maybe you pulled off a dribble move that you also saw him do last week, and there's a YouTube video of, etc.). We have a vast variety of fans using this mod regularly, from Iowa to Kentucky to Arkansas and others, let's share our experiences using this great mod. Did you notice some minute detail that you thought was cool? Grab a screen and PM me, explaining, and I'll turn it into content that is shared with everyone who visits the NLSC! Let's give everyone who has 'moved on' to 2K15 a reason to fire up their old 2K14 and use it as an NCAA Game!!

I appreciate it in advance. I want to build a College Basketball community here!!

I think it has to do with when droc81yo made his roster edits. The way I did it (and will edit it again to be so) is that all portrait IDs should be -1, so that it's a generated portrait for everybody (which I actually much prefer to the pictures, especially for this mod). I didn't realize this was the case, as I've still, if you can believe it, not been able to install or play even one minute of this mod. Thanks for pointing this out. I will definitely fix it before the next release.

This will be fixed before the next update. Thank you for continuing to report bugs and issues. It is much appreciated.

These were arkansas players. I pulled their CF's from the original NBA 2k14 roster so the portrait ID is in everyones game as default. I did the same by adding the -1.

These were all set to portrait IDs, and they are in the V1, Baylor update which is the last roster I downloaded. (I hate you guys, I was half way through my season and had to start over with a newer roster because you all added so much to It). The work here never ceases to amaze me. Havent had time to mod as I had a mancave/office built in the back after the kid was born, and I have been working my butt off (painting, drywall, wiring etc)to get this done so I can get back to playing this gem. Played a bit last night to make sure the tv and surround sound worked in the room and was reminded how awesome this mod is. Plays like real college ball and the details from the arenas to the players to the jerseys are all top notch. I will be finished with the room tomorrow and plan on logging some serious time on this thru presidents day.

Once again thanks to everyone, especially bigh0rt for keeping this going and making this mod so frickin awesome.
