Up to Date FA Signings and 08 Draft Rookies created?

[Helios12787]

I know that it is a painstaking task to create roster files with a good number of rookies.

Another thing I know is:

It is one of the worst feelings in the world once you get your franchise file setup and 95% accurate only to have it screw up on you in preseason (via the preseason glitch) and you cant do anything about it.

At least with a roster file you are able to restart a franchise if you get the freeze.

Im going to create the 1st pick Jake Long around 85-84 overall and layer them from there on.

trust me, i deff agree with ya. I know you cant create 60+ players. I say just do what you gotta do then.

I can say this. I tried to update all the rosters just based on free agency ( I was going to create rookies afterwards). I could only go a third of the way with free agent moves because the free agent list got full and it wouldn't let me cut anyone and I couldn't really sign anyone to teams because a lot of teams had full rosters. So, i gave up.

Yeah that does happen but there is no way that all teams have full rosters and the free agency list is full, so you have to put some of the lower rated no-name players on teams that have rosters spots and go from there.

Haven't had much time b/c GTA IV has taken over my gaming life. I did create Trevor Laws and Desean Jackson for the Eagles this morning

[BCJMU99]

So far created the top 11 draft picks (J.Long, C.Long, M.Ryan, D. McFadden, G.Dorsey, V.Gholston, S.Ellis, D.Harvey, K.Rivers, J.Mayo, and L. McKlevin) and first two Eagles picks (T.Laws and D.Jackson) along with all the free agent moves.

I did not take the time to enter in their hometown or their correct birthdate, just birth year.

It's coming together!
