Excited to share this. It is a roster that I edited to include all major free agency changes from this year pre-draft. All changes were made in an effort to not break franchise mode, and early tests show that at least for a season it works as expected. So no need for a separate franchise file. I plan to do more with this post-draft and I'm going to dig into maybe trying to modify the franchise coach in game files for playbooks, change some music etc and i'll post accordingly here, but for now this is what I have. Again, this is for Madden08Next (
https://github.com/antdroidx/madden08next) so if you attempt to use this with basic Madden08 I believe Play Now will work but franchise will lock up on you. As the season gets closer i'll add updates and maybe do a roster/franchise file (not in game edits since it would take too long) for Madden12. Enjoy.
