Playmakers Classic 90s Roster for Xbox One

[tommycoa]

Playmakers just emailed me an update:

Updated the file by adding the following teams

1990 Buffalo Bills

Top rated players
Bruce Smith (94) X-Factor Unstoppable Force
Will Wolford (90) Super Star
Andre Reed (90) X-Factor Double Me
Jim Kelly (90)
Thurman Thomas (90)

LB core is the strength of their defense led by Cornelius Bennett, Shane Conlan and Darryl Talley.

1999 Indianapolis Colts

Top Rated Players
Marvin Harrison (92) X-Factor Super Star
Peyton Manning (90)
Tarik Glenn (87)
Edgerrin James (85)

This is really young up and coming team. Peyton was coming off his rookie year, James was a sensational rookie RB and Harrison was quickly becoming one of the games elite WR's.

I added a couple of nostalgic players Brandon Burlsworth rookie and veteran Tony Mandarich to their squad.

1999 Jacksonville Jaguars

Top Rated Players
Tony Boselli (93)
Carnell Lake (88)
Jimmy Smith (88)
Kevin Hardy (86)

Boselli is the only 90 rated players but don't be fooled this team is loaded with quality starters in the mid to low 80's. The Wr tandem of Smith and McCardell are terrific pairing and young Fred Taylor is big 6'2 220 and Fast 91 speed. Jags defense can get after you with pass rushers Brackens, Hardy and veteran Bryce Paup.

1999 Tennessee Titans

Top Rated Players
Brad Hopkins (91) X-Factor Superstar
Frank Wycheck (88) X-Factor
Jon Runyan (88)
Jevon "The Freak" Kearse (87)
Eddie George (87)

Young Steve "Air" McNair (83 overall) X-Factor is emerging as one of the games young super stars at QB. Physical OL with bookend Tackles Hopkins and Runyan along with 38 year old OG Bruce Matthew's who is still playing at a high level open holes for bruiser Eddie George at RB.

Defense has a very underrated secondary anchored by Veteran SS Blaine Bishop X-factor and young CB Samari Rolle

More teams to come later enjoy the update!!!

Playmakers just sent me an update. He finished the 98 Denver Broncos. He sent this profile of the team:

Update

98 Denver Broncos

They were 14-2 and won their 2nd straight title.

They had a potent offense despite veteran QB John Elway being on the back end of his career.

The Broncos offense was loaded with talent around the aging Elway. Workhorse RB Terrell Davis rushed for 2008 yards & 21 touchdowns.

TE Shannon Sharpe is the highest rated TE of the 90's era file. Sharpe made 7 of his 8 pro bowls doing the 90's and was named to 90's All decade team. Wr's Rod Smith and Ed "Easy" McCaffrey combine with Sharpe to round out a dynamic trio of receivers.

Steve Atwater is one of the hardest hitting safeties on the file he anchors a Broncos defensive unit that consist of DE-Neil Smith, LB-Bill Romanowski, LB- John Mobley, DT-Trevor Pryce & CB-Ray Crockett.

The 98 Broncos were were ranked as the 12th greatest Super bowl champions by NFL Network.

Top Rated Players

Shannon Sharpe (98)
John Elway (93)
Bill Romanowski (92) X-factor Shutdown
Steve Atwater (91)
Terrell Davis (90)

Got another update. 1996 Steelers. Info below.


UPDATE

Added 1996 Pittsburgh Steelers (10-6) AFC Central Division Champs lost in AFC Divisional playoff game.

TOP Rated Players
Rod Woodson-(95)
Dermontti Dawson-(93) X-factor Super Star
Jerome "The Bus" Bettis-(92) X-Factor Star
Carnell Lake-(91)

I went with this team over the 95 Steelers because I wanted Jerome "Bus" Bettis on the file.

The Bus was traded to the Steelers from the Rams doing the 96 offseason and proceeded to rush over 1400 yards & 11 TD's.

Bettis was one of 6 Steelers to make the pro bowl as he was joined by future HOF'S Rod Woodson-CB & Dermontti Dawson-C along with Chad Brown, Levon Kirkland & Carnell Lake

Young Super Star OLB Brown was becoming one of the NFL's elite edge rushers tallying 13 sacks.

Brown, Kirkland & Jason Gildon filling in for the injured Greg Lloyd gave the Steelers and exciting young LB core with depth at the position from 96 draft picks Carlos Emmons and Earl Holmes.

Kordell "Slash" Stewart is a low rated (75) X-Factor player at the QB position that you'll want to get on the field.

Added 1990 Raiders

TOP RATED PLAYERS
Bo Jackson-RB (90)
Don Mosebar-C (89)
Howie Long-DE (88)
Steve "The Wiz" Wisniewski-LG (88) X-Factor
Tim Brown-WR (86) Super Star

Two Pro Bowlers DE Greg Townsend and LG Steve Wisniewski who was entering his 2nd year in the league.

Young Super Star LG Wisniewski teamed with veterans Don Mosebar-C and Max Montoya-RG to give the Raiders a strong interior offensive line.

That nucleus helped both Bo Jackson & Marcus Allen each rush over 600 yards. Jackson avg 5.6 ypc and Allen had 13 total TD's.

The Raiders defense was anchored by strong pass rushers in Townsend (12.5), 6'8 DT Scott Davis (10) and future HOF DE Howie Long (6) as the trio combined for 28.5 sacks

Just got this update from playmakers about the 1994 Sand Diego Chargers. He just added them to the file:

Update

Top Rated Players
Junior Seau-(92)
Leslie O'Oneal-(88)
Stan Brock-(85)
Natrone Means-(83)

1994 San Diego Chargers

Team went 11-5 and reached their first Superbowl in franchise history.

They were led by a big play defense that always seemed to force turnovers and key moments.

Bruiser Natrone Means racked up 1350 yards rushing and 12 TD's giving the Chargers their only pro bowl offensive player.

The defense was led by Pro bowlers Junior Seau at MLB and DE Leslie O'Neal who led the team with 12.5 sacks. O'Neal might be one of the most underrated Defensive players of the 90's era.

The other bookend DE Chris Mims added 11 sacks.

Young rookie Rodney Harris (81 overall) is an emerging star and has the Xfactors Reinforcement

Dwayne Harper, Stanley Richard, Darrien Gordon and Darren Carrington round out a ball-hawking secondary that registered 14 interceptions.

Got another update from playmakers. This time the 92 oilers but he placed them with the Texans.


Key notes the TE spots are occupied by Wr's to give their offense a true spread feeling.

Update 1992 Houston Oilers (Using Texans roster)

Team Record 10-6

TOP RATED PLAYERS

Bruce Matthews-(C) 92 X-factor Superstar

Mike Munchak(LG) 91

Warren Moon-(QB) 91

Ray Childress-(DT) 89 X-factor Fearmonger

Al Smith-(MLB) 89 X-factor Shutdown

Moon was at the helm of an offense called the “run and shoot”, the forerunner of today’s spread. The field was spread with speedy receivers in Haywood Jeffires, Curtis Duncan and Ernest Givins. All three made the Pro Bowl, averaging in the neighborhood of 10-12 yards-per-catch.

And the Oilers weren’t all about the passing game. The offensive line had two future Hall of Fame inductees in center Bruce Matthews and guard Mike Munchak (who later coached this organization after it relocated to Tennessee and became the Titans). They paved the way for Lorenzo White to clear 1,200 yards and finish fifth in the NFL in rushing.

It was enough to finish sixth in the league in points scored and the defense wasn’t far behind, ranking ninth. The key was a veteran defensive front, where the best players were all 30-years-old. Sean Jones and William Fuller each had eight sacks off the opposite edges. Defensive tackle Ray Childress had 13 sacks and was 1st-team All-NFL. Middle linebacker Al Smith was another 1st-team All-NFL player and corner Jerry Gray picked off six passes in 1992.

Update

89 Cleveland Browns (9-6-1)

Frank Minnifield (CB) 90 X-factor Shutdown

Michael Dean Perry (DT) 88 X-factor Superstar

Hanford Dixon (CB) 88 X-factor Zone Hawk

Clay Matthews (LB) 85

It was the Browns' first season with head coach Bud Carson, who had been the defensive coordinator of the New York Jets the previous season. The Browns reached their third AFC Championship Game in four seasons, and for the third time lost to the Denver Broncos.

The 89 Browns had 5 Pro Bowlers in WR Webster Slaughter (65-1236-6), LB Clay Matthews, LB Eddie Johnson, CB Frank Minnifield & DT Michael Dean Perry who was also AFC DPOY.

Minnifield teams up with fellow DAWG Pound CB Hanford Dixon to form the top CB dual on the file.

The special teams had a pair of deadly return men in Punt Returner Gerald "Ice Cube" McNeil a 5'7 140 lb dynamo & 89 1st pick Eric Metcalf a dual threat RB/Wr out of Texas who is an immediate X-factor player.

Here's another update only got 4 teams left.
