From the thread entitled NCAA Unfaking Project & Facepacks Now Available! Devils88 lists these as the updates:
I'm working on a File i called NCAA unfaking with Cardfacepack.
I will edit the whole NCAA-Teams (WCHA,CCHA,ECAC) and give their new players faces....
So here are the details:
-Changing fake player names and birthdates to the real ones. (sometimes hard to find the real player for the right names)
-edit some missing Draft Information.
-edit Team Names (eg. Wisconsin / Wisconsin Badgers)
-edit max. Attendence for the stadiums.
and at last but not least give each Player a Card
And in Minty's words
let me try to explain
First off NCAA = United States College Hockey. The game cannot use real names for players and teams in leagues it doesn't have liscense to, and the NCAA will never grant SI liscense. So SI was forced to "fake" them in order to not get lawsuits.

To keep the game playing realistically though, as many NHL draft picks come through the US College system, they put the real players on the teams anyhow. They had to however give them "faked" names. So, Jack Johnson might become Steve Rockport and University of Wisconsin Badgers becomes Wisconsin U.

So with a mess of work and research as D88 has done here; you can piece together a realistic NCAA in the game with actual team names and actual player names. All the players stats were researched to fit the players it's just their names that are "wrong" so giving them the proper names make them reflect the actual players just like the current NHL does. That's what this project does. It is also built upon the previous "unfaking" project which "made real" other leagues in the game that "faked" in the game.

It doesn't change stats or update player moves, just "unfakes" the US Colleges and their players for better in-game realism

The unfaking v1 was out long ago yes, Devils88s addition to the database contributing a completely unfaked NCAA just came out last week :-)

And since there is already a two page thread on the project that was started on April 11, I'll be locking this one.
