Use at your own risk, YMMV, (your mileage may vary). Please read other posts in this thread for sliders, player ratings, credits, etc.

Please PM me with any suggestions/corrections/advice.

Updated 05/24/14 13:30 EST: THE LAST VERSION, Special teams/speed edits, FB2HB conversion, converted great full backs to halfback position so they can be run with regular playbooks.

Works in PLAY NOW with CUSTOM PLAYBOOKS, works in both SUPERSIM and Offline CFM (Connected Franchise Mode). 1591 players, 35 FA's.

RECOMMENDATIONS: use a run balanced, run heavy playbook with these teams having great FB/HB combos: 72 Dolphins (Csonka), 68 Jets (Snell), 62 Packers (Taylor), 02 Bucs (Alstott), 77 Cowboys (Newhouse), 88 Bengals (Woods).

Option City with Wilson (13 Seahawks), Kaepernick (12 Niners), Newton (13 Panthers), Landry (70 Lions), Elway (98 Broncos), Chandler (98 Falcons), Moon (93 Oilers), McNabb (04 Eagles) & Staubach (77 Cowboys).

Have been experimenting with the sliders, interesting results with this roster, PLEASE SEE SLIDER UPDATE.

First and foremost, for providing an excellent foundation and tools, we wish to thank Playmaker, Capa, Tmac747, DDel63, Valdostakid, Curvise, Rysumm, Mick-S and especially Xanathol. We also thank Gotmadskillzson for some common sense which we have extended to the pro level.

Here is what we did to V3 of DaSchwam's roster.... 7 new teams + 6 grind it out teams from the Best of the Best V1 are back. Say hello to the run n gun, option/spread and overall smashmouth teams. Team mix: 10 from the 60's & 70's, 10 from the 80's & 90's, 12 from the new millenium.

The ** teams were brought back from V1, ** teams were added, all teams re-rated and balanced to play well against each other.... without sacrificing the individual and blend of unique talent they possessed which made them champions.

Please read comments here regarding OVR ratings for these teams.

Why I Selected These Teams

Here are why I selected these teams for the roster....

BTB = Back to Back; SBC = Super Bowl or NFL Champ, SBL = Super Bowl Loss, CGL = Championship Game Loss, DIVL = Divisional Loss, WCL = Wild Card Loss, SRS, a simple rating system, explained here.

All comments are IMO...

Click here for the sliders Da Schwam uses for playing vs CPU, sim and coach mode with the trilogy V1, V2 & V3 rosters.

Use at your own risk, YMMV.

Looks like you have some really great teams there. May I ask why you didn't include one of the early/mid 90's Dallas Super Bowl teams though? Maybe I should say could you add one of those Dallas teams instead? There could be many choices of past teams so I'd like to request either the 1993 or 1995 Dallas team added if possible. Thanks! NM: I see that you have the 92 team in v2 roster.

92 Pokes are in V1 & V2, that's why I gave Roger, Tony & Ed a chance in V3. Figured they would blend in better with the SMASHMOUTH 60/70/80 mix in V3.

DaSchwam, was wondering is there a way you can convert these wonderful roster files(V1,V2 and V3) to madden 12 for ps3?
