A real quick question if someone doesnt mind helping, i just did the whole ms cable to HDD deal and i have a franchise file put on there, is there anything special i need to or should do before starting the franchise ?

Im in year 5 of my franchise with my carolina panthers. I havn't had any real issues yet. Maybe i'm just lucky lol. The only thing is that I only keep about 45 players on my roster to help with cap space. I sign about 4 rookies per draft and rarely go after free agents. Bad thing is I got fired as head coach and have to start over lol.
