Hey all, I had a quick couple of questions about this game and I see that the forum/leaderboard isn't super active but I figure it's worth a shot. Does anybody know how one would go about altering some of the sprites for enemies in the game (e.g. Ghost Dad), and if someone were to do a run on such a version with purely cosmetic mods, would the run be accepted onto the leaderboard?

Thanks!

I was looking through the marathon runs section and watched Helix's 1P2C run from Midwest Speedfest 2018; they start at event 16 and reset a couple times before getting a successful attempt which starts when the marathon timer reads 0:24. As far as timing the single run, I think it's reasonable to treat those first 24 seconds as runs that were reset and retiming the run starting from that point (i.e. timing the run starting from the selection of difficulty of the successful attempt of the first event rather than starting when the marathon timer started), which would result in that run having a time of 17:0X, faster than their run on the main 1P2C board and thus being a world record. Could we update the leaderboard to reflect that? Here's the run btw: https://www.speedrun.com/project_m/run/y2qpd35y

Watching Spike's run against Dartmouth, I noticed that some of the Big Green™ players were playing out of position-- there was a punter at QB, a LT on defense, etc. I looked into their depth chart and I found something really interesting: almost every position in the depth chart has players starting outside of their intended position: HB at kicker, SS at TE, FB at FS, the list goes on. I wonder if it was some simple organizational error or coding error in the game, since many of the players swapped to a position that starts with the same letter alphabetically-- FB at FS, RGs at ROLB, LE at LG, etc. This doesn't really have any major implications on the speedrun but I thought it was really interesting and I thought you guys might want to know. I'd be curious to see if the Xbox and PS2 versions of the game have this same oversight as well.
