Maybe I'm missing something, but how do you get the game to play at a start date that isn't 2015?

[corbes]

How did Randall Cunningham do?

[larrymcg421]

Did Marino get a Superbowl?

[Pyser]

[Vince, Pt. II]

Montana, Rice and Young are of interest to me.

[wustin]

Glad I'm not the only one who is ignorant about the all-time great Boyd Dowler.

Someone needed to catch Starr's 449 TD passes!!!

Dowler was a solid receiver in the era when passing as not dominate. Also, the FOF X-factor could have made him better than expected in this sim career.

[nilodor]

Thumbs up! I'm glad you found a way through all the files. I hope you enjoyed it!

For curiosity, any teams not make a superbowl in that span?

[Senator]

What a Boyd Dowler? I cry. Next someone will ask who a george sauer, jr. is?

[vatech24]

Sorry for the long delay. New born taking over my life.

Saints & AZ Cardinals

I don't see him anywhere which means he either wasn't drafted and never signed on anywhere or who ever made the rosters didn't add him.

This was a great read with the updates.

I'm curious did you control a team - and make moves in the offseason (FA, draft etc) or was there a way you just simmed season-by-season and let the computer control all teams.

Unfortunately there is no way that i know of where you can just SIM seasons without controlling anyone. If there is, i just wasted a a bunch of months doing this LOL

I am a Titans fan so i controlled them the whole time. I went through and did all the drafts and did all the FA signings. Funny thing is, i knew who to draft and who to sign because of real life but i still only won 1 super bowl in 4 tries.

Would love to star my new career with these files..

Could you share you league?
