NCAA FOOTBALL 2002 [SOURCE GUIDE] TRICKS Of the TRADE =================== I. Black & White Gloves II. TIP: Created Players III. F.Y.I: Roster Glitches IV. Realistic Slider Settings V. NCAA Football Official Team Links VI. SharkPort FAQ VII. Copyright: (c) 2001 KWAME' I. BLACK & WHITE GLOVES ----------------------- Anybody notice you CAN NOT select Black & White gloves in the Equipment section. An apparent GLTICH, EA overlooked! Well those Of you who have FAVORITE PLAYERS and are real sticklers for their appearance (like me) can use this trick to have SOME particular players use Blk & Wht gloves. 1. EXAMPLE: Say you have a FAVORITE player, who's a sophomore and you got another player on the team (who plays the SAME POSITION) who's a sophomore too. Your Fav has Black gloves (or NO gloves at all), and the other sophomore has Blk & Wht gloves. Well here's what you do... copy the guy with the Blk & Wht gloves stats, looks and other info on a separate sheet of paper. Then transfer all the data of your favorite player to the athlete with the rare gloves. 2. Once you've done this, transfer the information you copied on the sheet of paper to your original favorite player! Now your star player has a sweet set of gloves. WARNING: Under NO circumstances should you tamper with the gloves. If you try and switch them in any scenario, you CANNOT get them back, unless you reload your previous SAVE. By the way, once all the data is transferred DO NOT forget to save it to your memory card. II. TIP: Created Players ------------------------- This same trick can be used to make created characters (technically speaking) "permanent"! If you create a player, his name will show up in the DELETE section. Alot of created players in my game saves are "permanent", they are in the Roster, but they won't show up on the DELETE MENU! The player you swapped them with will appear in the deleted menu instead. III. F.Y.I: Roster GLITCHES --------------------------- WARNING: The limit of created players in the game is "34". To exceed the limit will cause the Depth Chart & Roster to GLITCH. Now this part is vital: When your created roster is at "34" and you want to add new players, you MUST DELETE atleast "18" players before creating any new ones. Deleting any amount below "18" means you roster will still suffer the same GLITCH as mentioned above! Once the "18" are deleted you can create new ones or re-create those you wanted to keep. If your roster is at "33" or less you can still add a player or detract players... without having to delete "18" of them. To avoid any problems, I'd suggest keeping your Roster at atleast "33" or less. IV. Realistic Slider Settings ------------------------------ VARSITY & ALL AMERICAN ++++++++++++++++++++++ These sliders compliment each other, and are practically "UNIVERSAL." Meaning that the realistic effect is generally the same in EA's NCAA Football 2002, as well as the MADDEN SERIES: 2001 & 2002. All sliders from FAR Left, so +10 is middle, +20 is max. PLENTY THANKS & MADD PROPS to STUN-GUN for the "Realistic" Slider Settings! The Penalty Settings were desgined by an anonomyous gamer on the NCAA Football 2002 Message Board & slightly tweaked by me. Lastly, a final shoutout to Absolute Himself, for the Heisman Slider Settings!

NCAA Football Official Team Links ------------------------------------ All players have names, atleast 40% of the teams are currently customized by either: appearance, stats or both to match their real counter-parts. Regardless the Roster will never be 100% accurate. Some players classes will be incorrect, due to inaccurate grade rankings by EA SPORTS. Teams with (*) are 100% complete.
