Need help on downloading Cubby's roster

waltwa · 07-04-2007, 05:11 PM

i have been fooling around with this but no luck yet. I would really appreciate a step-by-step procedure on how to dl this roster and get it into the game. I have it dled with winzip but can't get it into the game. Is it just supposed to show up in the game like it did with 6.5 or do you have to select a league and set it up. it seems that it should just show up in the Load Game. I have dled it into C:\sports interactive\data\saved games but it is by itself in that folder w/o the default roster which seems to be the problem. Where is the default roster? it seems if i could locate that and place the cubby roster with it- it would show up in the game.

when you unzip Cubby's file did you get a folder labeled something.lg?

If you did all you have to do is make sure it's in the folder you mentioned
(C:\sports interactive\data\saved games). Then when you open up the game next, all you have to do is go to load game, and you should see whatever the folder's name was in the new window that pops up. Click on it, and hit ok. and you're done.

yes, that could be a problem, you'd better get a Mac

No it's not a Vista thing. I have Vista too. I'd suggest deleting Cubby's rosters and then redownloading them. Something isn't right with the folder.

pujols if u are online sometime catch me on aim - arnolCc and possibly u could walk me thru. i know it is just some little thing but can't figure it out.

I think it has to be in My Documents/Sports Interactive/...data/saved games for it to work, not under c:\program files\sports interactive...etc. I made the same mistake when I first tried to load a roster. Hope that helps.

That is correct. It has to be in the my documents folder.

Another thing I have noticed is that when unzipping a league file I sometimes get a .lg folder inside a .lg folder. You have to make sure the folder you put into the SI directory is the folder with files within. Hopefully that makes sense.

ok when i attempt to unzip i get this for the file to unzip to

C:\user\waltwa\Documents\unzipped\CFhb_v2.1

i then change it to

C:\sports interactive\data\saved games-- and that's where i put it

what exactly should i change the wording to?

hotwheelz what should i look for as far as a lg. file within a lg. file

C:\user\waltwa\Documents\sports interactive\data\saved games\
