Ok well here's a little info about the roster file as promised. So far I have created all the new players for the NZ teams in the super14. 99.9% of them have the correct information for date of birth, height, weight and position. As for their stats I have tried my best to create them from my own knowledge and not to overrate players or show favoritism. Naturally you will all have your own ideas so I recommend using woosah's most excellent player editor to change them.
In addition to NZ sides I have also done the Queensland Reds, the Western Force and have swapped some players around for the Brumbies. The SAF sides have also received minimal attention as I have very little knowledge of their players' abilities.
I have also created players for the Manu Samoa and have updated their side so it is a little more current.
That's pretty much it for the most part.
As for being a David Smith fan, not sure why you'd assume that, but if it's because of his stats, well I tried to make them reflect what I have seen of him so far. He's got excellent acceleration and agility, but his top pace is obviously not that great. He is stronger than his size would suggest, extremely urgent and busy on attack and defence (a good defender) and he shows a lot of bravery every week and really puts his body on the line.
I suppose the only other thing to clarify is the install process just use WINRAR to extract the folder called "LatestS14.ros" and place it in your "EA SPORTS Rugby 06" directory. For me this directory is located here:
C:\Documents and Settings\Oz\My Documents\EA SPORTS\EA SPORTS Rugby 06
If you read up this thread a bit there are posts by woosah where he reckons he can combine created players from different rosters into one. So for anyone who wants to complete the SAF and even the Northern Hemisphere teams' rosters, please feel free. I know I would like to have a completely updated roster for 2007. As for replacing the Cats with the Lions, I believe someone is already working on a kit mod for just this, however the roster update will still be needed so feel free to work on that separately.
P.S sorry for all you red fans I made a mistake on the halfback gideon, there were no images of him or info availabe so he's ended up as a blonde haired blue eyed white guy. I'll fix it in the next update. Cheers.
