how do i do that, do i add start a new character as one of the hall of famers and then toggle auto pilot for that team?

It's a fantasy draft.

Load the franchise, click the right stick, and add a new character, select player, scroll to hall of fame.

Then click the right stick and go back to the team you control.

Don't imagine you have to do anything else, when you play that team with your team, the player you created will be on the team you play against.

You can add 1 for each team you're not using.

thanks for the advice, i added hall of famers and adjusted sliders, it definitly made a difference

the only weird thing is i couldnt add kurt warner as for some reason he has been called zach sudfeld and shows up as a tight end though the screen caption tells you warners career stats and picture

It's been a week or so and I've played another 3 games that I need to update here. Don't quite remember what happened that stood out except for the most recent game, and I can't find my notes anywhere >.<

Week 3 was an absolute blowout. I had 3 turnovers (all fumbles) and just could not connect on anything down the field. Both of Mariota's rushing attempts resulted in fumbles. Both resulted in a minor injury that he returned to on the very next drive.

Week 12

49ers(4-6-0) vs. Redskins(6-4-0)

1st quarter: We start off the game with a 36 yd fg by Tucker. We would get an amazing TD as Earl Thomas returns a fumble 82 yds to the HOUSE!!!

2nd quarter: The only score for the 49ers came in this quarter as Billy Cundiff makes a 29 yd fg. We would add a 37 yd fg to our score. Lesean McCoy gets his first TD of the game as he gets a 1 yd rushing TD. We aren't done just yet as Nnamdi Asomugha returns a int for a 16 yd TD.

3rd quarter: Tucker adds a 36 yd fg for us. Matt Barkley emerges as he connects with Jordan Reed for a 13 yd TD.

4th quarter: Tucker gets another fg this one being 43 yds. McCoy gets his 2nd rushing TD as he runs this one in from the 4 yd line. I threw in Montee Ball just to get him a TD, in which he gets a 2 yd rushing TD giving him his 2nd of the year.

Finally we get back to winning as the score ended up being 3-54... Redskins, making us 7-4 on the season. We are fighting for a playoff spot so we need some wins.

Barkley ended up getting hurt but I don't know the severity of it.

Game Stats:
Matt Barkley 20-23 255 passing yds 1 TD 0 int 13 rushing yds

What a crazy 2014 season for the Ravens.

Week 1: vs Dolphins-lost 30-20, heartbreaker as we were very close to winning several times.
Week 2 vs Rams- won 31-28, a heart pounding game.
Week 3 at Steelers-lost 30-22, the game was much less close than the scoreboard indicates, Big Ben killed us.

Week 4 at Cards- lost 29-27, really painful as we took the go ahead field goal with just under a minute, but our defense broke and the Cards kicked a FG as time expired.
Bye
Week 6 at Browns won 23-9, an easy win.
Week 7 at Seahawks defending SB Champs-simmed-lost 51-37
Week 8 vs 49ers (Harbaugh III/Superbowl rematch) won 32-21 (simmed)

Week 9 at Bengals won 23-16
Week 10 vs Browns lost 13-10, embarrassing, Jason Campbell torched us (yup, the Browns did not draft a QB)
Week 11 at Texans lost 25-22 in OT. So heartbreaking. We sent the game into OT with a time expiring FG. The Texans got an FG to start OT, and Flacco drove us downfield, but threw an interception in the endzone to end the game.

Week 12 vs Steelers simmed lost 16-13 (three game losing streak)
Week 13 at Jaguars won 43-16, played half and simmed. Easy win
Week 14 vs Colts won 27-25
Week 15 vs Titans won 27-24
Week 16 at Broncos won 29-10 simmed

In the Broncos game, things fell apart though we won. Terrell Suggs dislocated his ankle and will miss 6 weeks. Joe Flacco tore his groin and will miss 14 weeks. Elvis Dumervil broke his wrist and will miss 6 weeks.J'Marcus Webb broke his thumb and will miss 4 weeks (signed Webb in free agency.) All of these players will miss the playoffs, if we get there.

So, in week 17, we returned home to face the Bengals, who already clinched a playoff spot. Tyrod Taylor would start at quarterback. Courtney Upshaw, Pernell McPhee and Daryl Smith were the starters at linebacker. Rookie T Trevor Foy, our first round pick out of Purdue, started at RT. The odds were against us. The Bengals did not rest their starters. Cinci came to play and revenge their loss to us earlier in the year, in Cincinatti. Against all odds, the Ravens beat the Bengals 22-19. Andy Dalton threw a pick six to Lardarius Webb, which would be the Ravens' only touchdown. Justin Tucker kicked several field goals to get the win. The Bengals had the ball last. Marvin Jones caught a pass and ran into easy field goal range, but he was tackled. The Bengals were out of timeouts, and so the game ended. Baltimore finished 2014 9-7, one win better than 2013. The Ravens end this season on a five game winning streak.

Around the League-
Playoff Picture-

The Steelers are back as one of the NFL's best teams.Ben Roethlisberger will likely win the MVP award following a great season. The Steelers have clinched a first round bye and home-field advantage with a 13-2 record, the best in the NFL. The Steelers were undefeated on the road, and only lost one game against AFC opponents.

The Falcons are back into the elite category as well. Tony Gonzalez, shockingly, returned for yet another season, which helped Matt Ryan have a good season. The Falcons clinched a first round bye, and home field advantage, with a 13-2 record. The Falcons have won 12 straight, are also undefeated on the road, undefeated in their division, and only lost one game to NFC opponents.

The Bills are the AFC's second best team. EJ Manuel and Co have guided Buffalo to a 10-5 record. Buffalo will be in the playoffs for the first time since 1999. The Bills have won 7 straight.


The AFC's third seed- the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals have made the playoffs for three straight years under Marvin Lewis and Andy Dalton, but have lost all 3 of those games due to Dalton "choking" in the playoffs. Cincinatti last won a playoff game in 1990.

Fourth Seed- the Houston Texans. Similar to the Chiefs last year, the Texans have gone from worst in the league to a playoff team, with new coach Bill O'Brien. the Texans recorded a 10-5-1 record, and won their division. The Texans only lost once on the road, but were 4-4 at home.

Fifth- The Kansas City Chiefs. With coach Andy Reid and QB Alex Smith, the Chiefs have made the playoffs for a second straight year despite going 2-14 just two years ago. Kansas only lost once to a division rival, but were 7-5 against the AFC. However, the Chiefs won their division.

Just like last year, here's where things get interesting. The 8-7 Dolphins are in position to go to the playoffs. However, Miami has lost 4 straight and faces the Giants. The team was 3-5 on the road, but luckily has home field advantage in their crucial clash with the Giants. The bad news for Miami? Ryan Tannehill will miss the game, and the playoffs if they get there, with a torn hamstring. Matt Moore will start at QB, with rookie Kain Colter possibly ready to take the job. The Dolphins have the tie breaker over the Ravens, as Miami beat Baltimore in week 1.

NFC-
Falcons (first round bye, home field) 13-2
Cowboys-clinched playoffs, 11-4. Dallas has finally gotten over the hump, making the playoffs despite three consecutive years of losing win-and-in week 17 games.
Seahawks- 10-5- have not clinched playoffs. The defending champs are tied with the Lions, Packers and Eagles at 10-5 for the third seed. It's a wide open race to the finish for the rest of the NFC seeds.
Lions-see above
Packers
Eagles

The Bears and 49ers are 9-6 and on the outside looking in at the playoffs.
