It's time to bring it!
Named rosters for the 360 are now available:

Faridale Kings rosters are the ones that I most like to recommend (due to behind the scenes shenanigans, that are neither cheeky nor fun, amongst the various roster makers). His can be downloaded at the following places:

Madden Planet Link: Fairdale King's NCAA '08 X-Box 360 Rosters
OS Forums Link: http://www.operationsports.com/Roste...ters071907.zip

Then there are also rosters by DT:

I included the forum links so that people can access them to read how to transfer the roster files to their 360s. Transferring the downloaded files to your 360 will require the XSATA, Xport, or Datel devices, and possibly a memory card depending on which device you use. I'll try to include some directions a little bit later.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO EDIT SOMETHING SMALL IN THE ROSTER FILE (SUCH AS HOMETOWN) AND SAVE THE FILE AS A NEW NAME. THEN YOU SHOULD GO BACK AND DELETE THE ORIGINAL FILE FROM YOUR 360. This is due to MS's want to block game consoles that share save files.

These roster files are supposed to only include the default rosters and not created players. Named default rosters show up during online play this year, so if you have everyone named, you will see them as such during online play. If your online opponent does not have a named roster file on their system, they will not see names. Also, in the past, any roster files that contained created players or players whose ratings had been edited did not work online. So, I recommend that you save the roster files on your system under the name "default." Then, I'd save another version under a name like "dynasty" to use for your non-online gaming, such as dynasty play. That way you can edit the dynasty roster as much as you want and can still have the default roster available for online play.

Edit: VERY IMPORTANT: Do not upload any roster (or other game saves) saves to sites like 360gamesaves.com. MS is downloading files from those sites, detecting the system addresses from the games saves, and then banning those systems from XBL based on their system addresses.

Edit2:
Here's a "how to" guide for transferring the files to your 360 using the Transfer kit.

I agree FK's are the best. Just downloaded them. Also I was under the impression that all you had to do is simply save the rosters under a new save file with a new name and delete the original FK ones. Is it necessary to change something too?

From what I'd seen, that's what most people were doing. That may be just how they did it though, maybe to get an automatic prompt to save the file when backing out of it.

The rosters were released too late for me last night. I shut off my PC right before they came out, so I haven't tried saving them to my 360 yet.

Have you been able to try them yet? Did you use Datel and a memory card or something else?

I know 2 roster changes most of us need to make for our dynasty roster files are to get rid of Ryan Williams and Brandon Underwood. I'm sure we'll need to find the correct jersey numbers for the Frosh too.

I cannot wait to get my new PS3, rosters will be so easy to get compared to the XBOX360 :biggrin:

Now if my freaking gift cards can be in my mail today I will be so much happier!

I downloaded Fk's rosters for 360 tihs morning using Datel hooked up to the memory card. It took me a few minutes to figure out where to save the roster file in order to copy it to the memory card but then I figured it out. Poster named ODogg has a great walkthrough that's stickied on the FK forums under NCAA general. Also I did try the rosters out and they look good as always.

Anyone who downloads these ought to consider going to his web site and making a $5 donation. He's got to pay for a shitload of bandwidth to provide these, not to mention the time he puts forth in creating them.

Thanks for the head's up on the walkthroughs, I've added links to them in my original post.

So I finally got the rosters last night. I played an on-line game, Virginia (my brother) vs. North Carolina (me), and all of the names appeared.

I noticed that Taurian Washington needs to have his name corrected, as FK's file lists his last name as Wallace.

Also, due to a recent scandal at Minnesota, 4 players were kicked off of their team:
CB Dominic Jones
RB EJ Jones
DE Alex Daniels
DB Keith Massey

I will probably do the same thing with these players that I did for Barndon Underwood and Ryan Williams, which is to just lower their respective attributes so that their OVR ratings drop into the 40s and then adjust their depth charts.
