1. unzip the files to a folder of your choosing
2. In the files there is one file called default_teams.csv
2a. Copy this to your C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Front Office Football Nine\default_data or similar directory
2b. This will overwrite the default file, all it has changed are the team nicknames.
3. When you want to start with a historic season
3a. Untick the box that says Use Front Office Football Player File
3b. Click continue
3c. Tick the box that says Use Your Own Player File Set
3d. Click the box that says CHOOSE CUSTOM FILE SET
3e. Navigate to wherever you unzipped the files
3f. Select the file xxxx_info.csv, where xxxx is the year you want to start with
3g. You should be able to click continue to go through the rest of the settings.
Drafted players are automatically loaded, so there's nothing else to do but hopefully enjoy.
If you want to start in the early years, 1976 is a decent place to start, since there are 28 teams and a 16 game schedule. Pre that is 26 teams and a 14 game slate.
