Hello

I see this link Index of /fof8downloads

but i dont see any historical rosters. Could you please link to where I could find those.

Are there historical rosters for FOF8?

No... Not at the moment.

There is for FOF7 and you should be able to convert it pretty easily.

Here’s a link to the instructions.

Front Office Football Central - View Single Post - Historic Draft & Roster Files (File Reupload 15-Mar-11 + Draft tweak)

The files for 7 should be in the first post of the thread. (I haven’t tried it but it seems to work).

Thanks Olsson.

Anybody have the link to draft analyzer. Link above goes nowhere for me.

Sent on slack.

Please same for me, would love PlayerTracker as well

chemistry

new laptop, can someone fwd me the draft analyzer link as well please...

thanks in advance

Is it possible to just post the link to the Draft Analyzer here so everyone can find it instead of asking for the link to be PM'ed?

it's in stelmack's github

Looking for updated rosters
 

I wanted to ask what the issue is with the lack of FoF 8 updated rosters.

I do realize that the creator of the game has time constraints and did just get out of a long involved partnership with OOTP that did not work out :( . But, I don't see any community created rosters anywhere either.

I will be the first to admit that I do not have the skill to construct updated rosters, but I know there are other players with much more skill than I have.

Is the coding for creating a new roster that difficult? Is it proprietary and unavailable as "open source"? Is it just too much of a project for one person to enter? (We are talking close to 1700 players every year.

I wish I had the wherewithal to do it, but I don't. My hats off to anybody who has ever devoted the time necessary.

I think it's two things, P34:

-it is hard to create them, it seems, rather labor intensive and subject to criticism; but also

-this game just doesn't really live in the lane of "let's sim the current NFL" - it has way more appeal (to its core audience) as a long term dynasty style game, where the roster set you start with fades away fairly quickly

It's never, ever been a strong suit of this game or its community. I have played with the user-create player sets, and those from the developer, and I see the attraction, but it's not a core asset. I realize that's not what you'd prefer to hear, but I think that's basically the lay of the land.

Any chance of updating the links in the OP or have they been rendered outdated since patch 8.3?

Haven't been on this forum in a while, but wanting to get back into FOF8, any chance for an updated link for downloads. Would like to get real teams, logos, etc.

This is a dead link. Can someone please point me in the direction where I can find these things? It would be greatly appreciated! :)

FOF 8 Utility Suite - Front Office Football Central

I think that's the correct link.

Is there any kind of tutorial on how to use things?
