To get the roster-classic file onto your USB: Plug USB Device into PC Open Horizon Use Device Explorer to extract your original game save from your 360 Games Folder>Game Name>Right click save file and extract Use Package Manager to open the save file of your 360 Madden roster Once open go to Contents Right click file and select Extract Add a .MC02 at the end of the file name and Save You only need to do the above once. Once you have one of your 360 rosters on your laptop you don't need to do this again. You need to create a .MC02 file for the roster-classic file: In Horizon use Package Manager and select Open file Select the roster-classic file you downloaded from mediafire Go to the Contents tab Right click and select Extract and name as roster-classic.MC02 Close Horizon If you want to edit the roster-classic file then do this (if not skip): Open Xan's Madden Editor Go to File and Open Roster Select the roster-classic.MC02 file Edit whatever you want Go to File and Save Roster (this will overwrite your .MC02 file) Close Xan's Madden Editor Replace your original 360 Madden roster with the classic roster on your USB: Open Horizon Go to Tools>Package Manager>Open Open your 360 original roster file you copied to your laptop, not the .MC02 Go to Contents Right Click the file and select replace Select the roster-classic.MC02 file you created above Select Save, Rehash, and Resign Then Save to Device and Select USB You should now be able to load the file to your 360 via USB

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Thank YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow you guys are amazing for doing this! My wife saw it and gave you guys a bad *** props as well!!
Do all the players look the same in each roster year. I might want and try and change Dan Marinos appearance as he looks a little dark. Truly amazed at what you guys do.

Thanks again!!

I only published the 72 Dolphins as part of my roster-classic set so no Marino from me I know others have done all time great teams and various seasons.

You can use Xan's editor to change appearances but cannot within the game. I did not spend alot of time on appearances due to the amount of players that would need to be edited. But I did use some cyber faces for guys that have one in the game..Montana...Rice...Lott...etc...and also tried to create a few likenesses where I could.

There is a problem when using the Oilers in the game. Troubleshooting it now. It is causing freezing.

Amazing work...Thank you Thank you Thank you..
I never understood why a company like 2k who has had all the issues with license issues and the NFL throw a "LOW BLOW" to EA by releasing a generic football game leaving it open to editing such as you guys are doing. Giving the ability to create everything from stadiums to coaches and players, equipment etc....It is obvious (at least to me) that the vintage teams,players, and coaches are really desired in the sports gaming industry.
I had a complete blast playing as the Cowboys with the Trio against Young and the 9ers.
Why do you suppose a rival gaming company has not released something to this affect?

With that being said I also think EA has done an amazing job with Madden over the years!

The real reason is that retired players are no longer part of the NFLPA union. Each individual player or their estate (if deceased) now would have to be negotiated with to be able to use his likeness and name in a video game. That is never going to happen. It is why you only see a handful in today's games.

It wasn't like that years ago, but I think Jim Brown or Johnny Bench or someone brought a suit forward 15 years ago or so suing one of the game companies. Since then. all publishers have backed off using real names and likenesses in their games unless retired players are part of a union in which they could get a blanket agreement with.

I agree that releasing a generic game as you mentioned would be just awesome for us old school guys, but I am not sure there is a big enough market for the companies to determine if it would be prfitable or not. My guess is it would not from a financial point of view...but it would be nirvana for some of us!

Agreed completely but if you made a GENERIC game allowing the mass of creaters out there..such as you guys to RENAME or CREATE their own players then I wonder why it would fall short to any legal hardships. If a game is released as such with the options to create teams, players, stadiums etc...and creaters concentrate on the overall GAMEPLAY...i think gamers would jump into it...nevertheless so very glad you guys do what you do...dont want to clog the thread on non-roster stuff!

if 2k released another game like all pro football but had the customization that backbreaker had it would b a huge success being able to make the jerseys and logos as authentic as backbreaker let u, just backbreakers gameplay never caught on with alot of us which is y it failed

I am still not sure why the OIlers cause a freeze on team selection screen...
