    Offline CFM Start Today File

    This download is a START TODAY file that begins after the SUPERBOWL. We have included a separate FBMOD that includes the following coach portraits, new Rams/Chargers and Raiders in Las Vegas.

    LINK

    Major credit to Sinthros for taking the time to create this.
    Credit to Sabo for the coaches/draft class and CFM Logic Mod
    Credit to TDawg and the CFBM/D105 rosters for help with the draft class.
    Credit to Arrowhead29/CHOACHERS for the portraits and stadiums.
    Credit to HansonMa for the Rams/Chargers field.
    Credit to MahomesMagic15 for Rams new logo.

    INSTALL START TODAY FILE: Put the STARTTODAY franchise file wherever your Madden 20 save files are located. By default, this should be C:\Users\Owner\Documents\Madden NFL 20\settings
    - All wins/losses forced (And the Cardinals/Lions week 1 tie)
    - The draft order has been edited to accurately mirror real life
    - Draft picks from trades are on all of the correct teams for 2020/2021
    - The draft class is a real life 2020 class with accurate ratings
    - The Raiders are relocating to Vegas in this franchise, as they are in real life

    SETTINGS
    - ALL Auto subs for the user team and CPU teams are all the same to promote realistic substitutions
    - All XP Sliders are set to 0 by default (USE TDAWG'S PROGRESSION TOOL, IT'S WAY BETTER THAN XP. Additionally, if you ARE going to be using Tdawg's tool, when you run the progressions in year 2 you HAVE to use the year 1 progression tabs in year 2, because the year 1 progression tab is what creates the potentials for all players in the franchise). A few players on each team will have an upgrade point because they were extremely close when the franchise started. This is expected and extremely minor
    - All dev upgrades earned by players during the superbowl week have been REVERTED

    COACHES
    -All coaches have been updated to include their correct stats, playbooks, schemes, coach specialty, legacy score, coach level, and appearance:
    *The following coaches have been added to their new teams
    Bill Belichick to the NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (instead of Griffin Murphy)
    Mike McCarthy to the DALLAS COWBOYS
    Ron Rivera to the WASHINGTON REDSKINS
    Matt Rhule to the CAROLINA PANTHERS
    Joe Judge to the NEW YORK GIANTS
    Kevin Stefanski to the CLEVELAND BROWNS
    *The following coaches are available to be hired as head coaches in the coaching pool
    Offensive Coordinators: Eric Bieniemy, Josh McDaniels, Brian Daboll, Kellen Moore, Byron Leftwich, Greg Roman, Joe Brady
    Defensive Coordinators: Robert Saleh, Jim Schwartz, Kris Richard, Don Martindale, Leslie Frazier, Todd Bowles, Matt Eberflus
    Assistant Head Coaches: Dave Toub, Dan Campbell
    Former Head Coach: Marvin Lewis , Gary Kubiak
    College Coaches: Urban Meyer, Jim Harbaugh, Lincoln Riley, Dan Mullen

    *The following coaches have been REMOVED to make room for the new coaches: Pat Shurmur, Freddie Kitchens
    *The following coaches will no longer retire after the first year: Andy Reid, Bill Belichick

    Sabo and tdawg, and the rest of the team. Thank you for this. And EA thanks you for this, because this stuff is the reason I bought Madden for the first time since Sega Genesis days.


    Now excuse me while I go on a ten day bender and make all kinds of terrible draft and free agent decisions for the Lions, driving them further into mediocrity. I like my simulations to be as realistic a possible.

      This is fantastic! I was just bemoaning the inability of having start today in offline franchises because I enjoy controlling all 32 teams in mine. I am really curious as to how you managed to edit the coaches in the coaching pool. That is a huge immersion boost for the offseason.

        1. create coach
        2. go to franchise editor turn off is created
        3. retire coach
        4. create owner
        5. fire coach, rehire original coach
        6. retire owner
        7. go to team table in franchise editor, usually in 3900s
        8. change blacklisted ids to -1 for owner u just retired

              This is amazing. I guess the next step is to manually enter the correct stats, if it’s possible and someone wants to take the time to do it. I’d probably do it over a couple months if I knew how.

              But yeah, this is really great.

                  Click the hyperlink.
                  Click the big green button.
                  Save the file.
                  Extract the file using something like 7zip.
                  Import the file into Frosty mod manager or editor (assuming they put it all in the attachment).
                  Put the two other files (the career and the draft) where the other ones are located. That is, put the Career file where your franchises are saved, and then load it when you start the game. Same thing with the draft file, except put it where your saved drafts are located. I don't know where they are on your machine, but the info in the OP might help you find them.

                    - To prevent the CPU from signing all of their players during the season (and therefore screwing the future user of that team), we edited the file in the franchise editor to prevent this. The side effect is that all CPU teams in Offseason Stage 1 will attempt to sign their players as normal, BUT whatever team you're a coach/owner for will NOT have this ability, meaning you'll have to sign whatever players you plan to keep once the Free Agency stages begin. This also means you MUST immediately change to whatever team you want to use, because as soon as you sim a week players will be auto-signed for whatever team you AREN'T using, which could lead to some players being on your team that you don't want signed.

                    COACHES
                    -All coaches have been updated to include their correct stats, playbooks, schemes, coach specialty, legacy score, coach level, and appearance:
                    *The following coaches have been added to their new teams

                    Kevin Stefanski to the CLEVELAND BROWNS
                    *The following coaches are available to be hired as head coaches in the coaching pool
                    Offensive Coordinators: Eric Bieniemy, Josh McDaniels, Brian Daboll, Kellen Moore, Byron Leftwich, Greg Roman, Joe Brady
                    Defensive Coordinators: Robert Saleh, Jim Schwartz, Kris Richard, Don Martindale, Leslie Frazier, Todd Bowles, Matt Eberflus
                    Assistant Head Coaches: Dave Toub, Dan Campbell
                    Former Head Coach: Marvin Lewis , Gary Kubiak
                    College Coaches: Urban Meyer, Jim Harbaugh, Lincoln Riley, Dan Mullen

                    *The following coaches have been REMOVED to make room for the new coaches: Pat Shurmur, Freddie Kitchens
                    *The following coaches will no longer retire after the first year: Andy Reid, Bill Belichick

                    The following coaches still dont have their portraits: Greg Roman, Jim Schwartz, Kris Richard, Brian Daboll, Leslie Frazier, Dan Mullen, Kellen Moore, Byron Leftwich, Dan Campbell, Gary Kubiak, Matt Eberflus

                    PLAYERS
                    *The following players in FA were edited down in ratings due to being overrated: ROLB Nick Perry, CB Trevor Williams, DE Muhammad Wilkerson, HB Doug Martin, WR Torrey Smith, WR Rishard Matthews
                    *The following players, who have confirmed they are retiring in real life, have been moved to FA/Punter: RG Kyle Long, MLB Luke Kuechly, QB Eli Manning
                    *The following players, who I don't personally see playing again, or the franchise would be odd with their inclusion, have been removed from FA: WR Antonio Brown, QB Andrew Luck, WR Dez Bryant, WR Pierre Garcon, TE Antonio Gates, SS Eric Berry, WR Brandon Marshall, TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins, DE William Hayes
                    NOTE: ALL of these players were moved to punter so you can easily bring them back if you'd like (if you bring them back it HAS to be before the offseason because some of them WILL retire/disappear if left at punter)

                    Is there any way we can get the Frosty Editor file? I want to edit the roster and still use this Career file, but obviously you can't import a roster to an existing franchise, which means the only way I can do it is to have access the fbproject file.


                    Basically I want to see if I can fix Jalen Hurd's face, or get it reasonably close. It's so awful right now.

                      Seeing this last night, I decided to get a basic Origin Access subscription to try Madden on PC with this savegame.

                      I've had the game installing today. Before I plug in this savegame, as a first time (well, at least since '08) Madden PC player, can someone tell me what some of the must-have mods are?

                          Yeah, like sabo said, it's all in game. The start today fbmod you see only gives certain coach portraits and the Rams/raiders/chargers the correct stadiums. Everything else was directly done in the franchise file itself.

                            Oh I see. So I just need to find the location rosters are found, a way to open that file with a visual editing tool, and edit and replace the file?

                            Wait, no, that can’t be right, since it would globally edit the player. I have to find the specific roster being used in the Franchise. This would be in the Career mode itself, would it not?

                              First off, wow. THANK YOU guys! Quick question, installed last night with the latest revival mod and the game crashed on me. Incompatible mods?
