Please post players in wrong positions in 5.1 here
 

I'd like to make a comprehensive list here to help anyone who updates the player file. So far, we have confirmed:

LCB DeAngelo Hall (Falcons)- Incorrectly listed at LB
LCB Dexter Wynn (Eagles) - Incorrectly listed at LB
SS Mike Boulware (Seahawks) - Incorrectly listed at CB
LCB Nathan Jones (Cowboys) - Incorrectly listed at LB
RCB Randall Gay (Patriots) - Incorrectly listed at LB
FS Will Allen (Bucs) -- incorrectly listed as RCB
WLB Marquis Cooper (Bucs) -- incorrectly listed as MLB
MLB Shelton Quarles (Bucs) -- incorrectly listed as SLB
WLB Derrick Brooks (Bucs) -- incorrectly listed as SLB
SLB Ian Gold (Bucs) -- incorrectly listed as WLB
MLB Keith Burns (Bucs) -- incorrectly listed as SLB
SLB Ryan Nece (Bucs) -- incorrectly listed as WLB
RCB Gary Baxter (Baltimore) - incorrectly listed as FS
LCB Keiwan Ratliff (Cincinnati) - incorrectly listed as WLB
FS Madieu Williams (Cincinnati) - incorrectly listed as CB
LCB Keith Smith (Detroit) - incorrectly listed as WLB
LCB Rich Gardner (Tennessee) - incorrectly listed as WLB
RCB Nathan Vasher (Chicago) - incorrectly listed as WLB

Good idea, but could you also please update that list with the correct position too?
Thanks

CB Nathan Jones (Cowboys) - Incorrectly listed at LB

i agree..that will help us go in and edit to correct position it should be..

thanks

He already did, notice the right position before the player name :)

randal gay of the patriots should be a DB instead of a LB

what the best way to edit the realplayer file and make the changes?

do just i open the .csv file and what column i edit? and how i know what position number i put?

after i save it what is needed to be done next?


thanks

FS Will Allen (Bucs) -- incorrectly listed as RCB
WLB Marquis Cooper (Bucs) -- incorrectly listed as MLB
MLB Shelton Quarles (Bucs) -- incorrectly listed as SLB
WLB Derrick Brooks (Bucs) -- incorrectly listed as SLB
SLB Ian Gold (Bucs) -- incorrectly listed as WLB
MLB Keith Burns (Bucs) -- incorrectly listed as SLB
SLB Ryan Nece (Bucs) -- incorrectly listed as WLB

when you buy the game, it comes with a help file to help you know what column stands for what category, i.e. team, position, etc.

It'a actually not the help file. You access that information by opening the player file generator.

by the way, it would be impossible to get all the contracts right, but some people might want to give Bears DE Adewale Ogunleye the big extention he signed after the acquired him. He still has the tiny one-year contract in the player file.

Also, Jake Delhomme is set to become a free agent after 2004 in the player file. He signed a five-year contract extension on June 17, 2004. The deal locks him in with the Panthers through 2009 and is worth $38 million including $12 million bonus, according to the Charlotte Observer.

Also doesn't include these new contracts:
RB Ladainian Tomlinson
QB Chad Pennington
DE Aaron Schobel
WR Chris Chambers
LB Tedy Bruschi
LT Matt Light
FS Jermaine Phillips
LB Kieth Bullock

.

thanks all...

so i guess i open it in excel the .csv file , and use the player file generator that comes with the game to convert the .csv file for the game..

this player file generator will have the instructions what each column means in the .csv file


going to purchase it this weekend....
its so cool how this game is so editable...

thanks so much guys

Yes, or you could wait to see if someone released an updated roster file

my bad, it's been awhile since I've messed with that stuff.

Jim explains why he did the contracts like he did..

I know that. This is for people who want to make the changes. If you don't care, then disregard.

RCB Gary Baxter (Baltimore) - incorrectly listed as FS
CB Keiwan Ratliff (Cincinnati) - incorrectly listed as WLB
S Madieu Williams (Cincinnati) - incorrectly listed as CB

is there a new real playerfile out with these fixes? or we have to edit it?

CB Kieth Smith (Detroit) - incorrectly listed as WLB

Note: Peyton Manning doesn't show a bonus in the last year of his contract. In fact, none of the players with 7-year deals show a bonus in the final year. Not sure if this is an input error or whether they are like this because the CBA expires or something else.

edit: added Alge Crumpler's new deal.

yabanci

thanks for those contract updates.

so the rest of contract on the player file is like the nfl and pretty much accurate?

yes, it looks pretty good.

CB Rich Gardner (Tennessee) - incorrectly listed as WLB

is the realplayerfile that available for download include the latest positions corrections and updated salary that been posted here?


or i need to download the realplayer file and manually edit ? if so when doen do i run the player file generator ..what do i put for year and salary cap? 2004?


thanks

To my knowledge the corrections haven't been made. You need to make the edits in the .csv version and then use the player file generator to make it into an .ftd file that can be used witht he game. The starting year should be 2004.

thanks..

this is time consuming to edit it in .csv...i have to scroll the whole player list to find the name of the player to correct his postion and salary ..wish there was a faster way..

but i guess it will be worth it when all done

There was a way.....back in FOF4. But for some unknown reason a very good player file editor that would have made these changes extremely easy was removed from the FOF2004 version of the game.

good news

get the fof2004 editor i found here


its much easier to edit the nfl2004playerfile.fdt file and then make your corrections that people posted here...

CB Nathan Vasher (Chicago) - incorrectly listed as WLB

according to depth chart look like Right CB

This year bonuses (bonus'?) are only pro-rated over 6 years, not 7.

so Peyton Manning should have no bonus on 7th year like it was originally?

what about the other salaries for the players above...should i put the bonus on the 7th year to zero and keep the rest the years bonus year 1-6 as it shows above?



thanks

seems like some position are still wrong, even will new patch that came today 5.1a

for those of you that change the default fictional players to real player names..here is the position that needs to be edit below..


player id#2113 SS Will Allen (Bucs) -- incorrectly listed as RCB

player id#408 MLB Shelton Quarles (Bucs) -- incorrectly listed as SLB

player id#804 SLB Ian Gold (Bucs) -- incorrectly listed as WLB

player id#120 MLB Keith Burns (Bucs) -- incorrectly listed as SLB

player id#988 RCB Gary Baxter (Baltimore) - incorrectly listed as FS

player id#2131 FS Madieu Williams (Cincinnati) - incorrectly listed as SS

player id# 2109 RCB Nathan Vasher (Chicago) - incorrectly listed as LCB

be sure to change the salary and contract years on the post above by yabanci. they wasnt included on the latest 5.1 patch because those players sign contract extension this year..

Be sure to edit the default fictional player file too. i included the player id# above so you know which posiiton to change..

G Derrick Dockery is listed @ OT (he played that in college but not as a pro)
