Export Statistics
This option outputs Dynasty statistics of a selected team to
a file in the Save directory.
You can export Team Stats, Player Stats and Team Roster Files.
Go to the "Stats" tab off the Dynasty Menu. You can output
"Team Stats" and "Player Stats" by hitting the button 2 (B)
on these screens.
From the "Team" tab off the Dynasty Menu, you can output
the "Roster" of your team by hitting button 1 (A) on this
screen.
The files are saved into the NCAA Football 99/Save/Dynasty directory.
You can use Wordpad to view and print out the files.
How to install the NCAA Football 99 Patch:
Before installing the patch, you must have a properly
installed version of the game on your hard drive.
To install the patch:
1. Download the NCAA Football 99 version 1.0 patch (D3D)
2. Two files are contained within the zip file.
The NCAA Football 99.exe and Patch.rez.
3. Unzip the file into the C:\Program Files\EA SPORTS\NCAA Football 99\Program
directory if you installed the game into the default directory. Windows will
ask you if you want to overwrite the NCAA Football 99.exe file.
Click Yes to overwrite the file.
4. If you changed the default install directory, copy the two files into the
NCAA Football\Program directory on your hard drive. Windows will ask you if
you want to overwrite the NCAA Football 99.exe file. Click Yes to overwrite
the file.
5. You are now ready to run the game!
Troubleshooting
- Users with 3dfx Voodoo Rush based boards will need to disable the videos that
run within the game. You will need to right click on the NCAA Football 99.exe
and select "Create Shortcut" from the list of options. Then right click on the
"Shortcut to NCAA Football 99" icon and select properties. On the Target line
of the Shortcut tab, add a "v" (without the quotation marks) one space after the
final quotation mark.
The line will look like this:
"C:\...\NCAA99\Program\NCAA Football 99.exe" v
Run this new shortcut to run the game without videos on 3dfx Voodoo Rush boards.
- If you get a crash or distorted graphics when loading a football game, it means
that your video card will not support the polygonal version of the game properly
under Direct 3D. It will be necessary for you to disable the Direct 3D version.
You will need to right click on the NCAA Football 99.exe and select "Create Shortcut"
from the list of options. Then right click on the "Shortcut to NCAA Football 99" icon
and select properties. On the Target line of the Shortcut tab, add a "r1" (without
the quotation marks) one space after the final quotation mark.
The line will look like this:
"C:\...\NCAA99\Program\NCAA Football 99.exe" r1
This will disable the polygonal version of the game, but you will still get the
patch updates.
