Go for it!!! Any older rosters would be awesome, after 5 or 6 years in dynasty with current rosters I get a little bored. If you need help with the roster, fanbase.com has pretty detailed ones for any school.

Hey Carl--These are Great! Any update as to if you are planning to do the 1966 season? I think that would be special for all us old (ahem veteran) guys.

I was wondering if you had seen this. I was hoping you might have some info on 69 Missouri, especially players numbers. I really want to do an older roster but it is so hard to get full rosters, thats why Im just doing some of the great teams from that era---much easier to find info on a schools best teams than teams that sucked. I may do it in the future if a can find the info though.

Hi Carl,

I am no expert but 69 Missouri looks amazing! I just re-played the Orange Bowl against Penn State and this time we won---16-13 in Overtime.--But a super game played very realistic. The Penn state defense was relentless ( I could really appreciate the effectiveness of the tackles and linebackers) and I was fortunate to stop them on 4th and goal on 2 occasions.

The only adjustments I might suggest would be:

1) Henry Brown should be black.
2) In terms of our receivers --I would suggest:

A) John Henley had the best hands on the team--maybe a catch rating of "86". He would also have been very good at route running.

B) Mel Gray had good but not great hands --maybe a catch rating of "84"----His acceleration and agility are spot on --However he was the fastest player in college over 100 yards (A world class sprinter) --Probably raise his speed to 98 ---Definitely 3 or 4 better that Jon Staggers who was very fast himself.


Other than these few things I am insanely impressed by the accuracy of your ratings. Thanks for adding so much fun to the game, especially for those of us that remember the glories of the past.

Glad you liked them, but actually I hadnt finished Missouri yet. I had rated the offensive players but the defense was generic ratings. Just finished them up and adjusted the run/pass ratio. I did add a few to Henley's catch but didnt want his overall to get too high. As for Mel Gray, 95 is about my max speed. So he will still be one of the fastest guys on my teams. Glad youre enjoying the teams!!

I understand Carl and I am sure you know best how speed works with your ratings. Once again I very much appreciate your work.
