1956-1980 Roster file coming...

[capa]

I'll be posting this file today...just have to run another simmed season to see how the numbers look.

Oh yeah...you better find a way to stop the Green Bay sweep...that's all I'll say...

Ok...here is the file.

I have renamed the coaches as well to the real counteprarts for these teams, and also tried to pick a "likeness" for each coach. Not easy when you have Lombardi, Landry, Brown, Halas!!

I changed run/pass ration as well to what the teams did in real life, and tried to select playbooks I thought would help their style of play. It's not perfect, but what the heck.

The expansion teams (Panthers, Ravens, Texans, Jaguars) have generic players (unnamed) and all attributes set to 50. If you use the default schedule you will see them lose by 75-0 most of the time. You can create your own schedule using the NFLHistory program, but I did not do that here. Dolphin26 was kind enough to help me but I gave up. However, if anyone wants to create a schedule where the expansion teams only play each other, and only a few times, feel free to repost the roster file back up here again...no problem.

Teams included:

NFC

East: 1977 Cowboys, 1956 Giants, 1972 Redskins, 1960 Eagles
North: 1962 Packers, 1969 Vikings, 1970 Lions, 1965 Bears
South: 1979 Bucs, 1979 Saints, 1980 Falcons, Panthers (generic players)
West: 1979 Seahawks, 1975 Cards, 1970 49ers, 1967 Rams

AFC

East: 1978 Patriots, 1973 Bills, 1968 Jets, 1972 Dolphins
North: 1965 Browns, 1978 Steelers, 1975 Bengals, Ravens (generic players)
South: 1958 Colts, 1979 Oilers, Jaguars and Texans (generic players)
West: 1963 Chargers, 1977 Broncos, 1976 Raider, 1969 Chiefs

Enjoy!

Capa- When I'm done with my current side project (which is keeping me from my main 2k5 project), I'll make the schedule for you.

Thanks Capa!

What a great way to end the week. With this and the editor update from Finn, It's like a touchdown with a 2-point conversion!( I know that's cheesy).

Props to you and Dolphin 26 on the recent 84 set!

Much appreciated!

Hey guys-

I made this roster into a franchise file (per Capa's request). It uses the 1979 schedule. The 4 non-existent teams play against each other 3 times. Their stats will be low, they shouldn't be in Pro-Bowl and the players are all no-names.

I simmed one season and got this:

Super Bowl: Rams 31, NY Jets 28

MVP- QB Joe Namath
Offensive player of the year: QB Greg Landry
Def. Player of the Year: ILB Dick Butkus
Off Rook: QB Doug Williams
DEF Rook: Sam Huff
Rushing Title: RB Franco Harris (1437 yards)

CAPA- I will get these two file into a page on the rosters site asap.

Greg Landry? Ugh...I see I have some tweaking to do...
