1976 roster

[Ebpmd]

I've just uploaded a 1976 roster. This is my first attempt at creating a classic roster. Names, numbers, equipment and depth charts are correct. A few lesser named back ups on the lesser teams may have incorrect skin tone? I didn't want to research the Bucs 2nd string LT. Since rosters were smaller then I filled extra spots with drafted players who did not make the team. In some cases in May have switched their positions. I'd like to thank Iteachpercussion as I used his formulas for QB, K and P ratings (with some minor tweaks) as some QBs came out with awful ratings otherwise. The remaining player ratings were based on my knowledge or lack there of of that era. The non existent teams are filed with average to poor players. In CFM they should win between 2-5 games. I did NOT match players to their years experience. I know other classic roster makers like to do that but it was not that important to me as this set is for single season use only. I'd also like to say that Seattle could be better regarding players skin tones but I just got tired as they were the last team I did. I'd suggest creating all 32 coaches. I'd use run heavy for all teams as in that scheme the fullback is used a lot as it was in that era. I'd also suggest a run/pass ratio of 60/40 to better simmulate the lesser passing seen in that era. This is assuming the ratios actually work this year. I apologize if some old time face masks ore off as sometimes had had trouble to getting them to stick? I think I figured it out but a few might still be off-roader name... 1976ebpmd

I forgot to mention... sleeves are either standard or sleeveless because of the glitch were some throw back unis loose the sleeve detail if on long. And for you Raider fans (my fav in the mid '70's)... David Humm is right handed as I ran out of lefty QBs. However you can change QBs handedness once in CFM.

Re: 1976 roster

Simmed season. Very happy with results considering limitation of the game regarding classic seasons. Created all coaches. Run/pass 50/50 ( wanted 60/40 but wasn't sure if moving slider to 60 would increase run or pass?). All play books run heavy.


Patriots. 12-4
Steelers 13-3
Colts 11-4-1
Raiders 12-4
Wild cards: Bills 9-7 and Titans (Oilers) 9-7

Redskins 14-1-1
Vikings 13-3
Rams 11-4-1
Falcons 9-7
Wild cards: Cowboys 10-6 and Cardinals 11-5

AFC championship: Pats over Steelers
NFC championship: Vikings over Redskins

Super Bowl: Vikings over Pats

MVP: Tarkenton runner up: Stabler

Stabler lead league with a little over 4800 yds and 28 TDs

Simpson lead league in rushing with just over 1800 yds

Raiders lead league in scoring with 438 pts

Vikings led in fewest pts allowed with 197

Over all very happy with results!!!
AFC wild cards disappointing especially Bengals who were just 7-9

Non-existent teams at most won 6 and that was the Texans. All non-existent teams came in last or in case of Texans 2nd to last as Jags are also in their division.

Still a bit too much passing but I think that is more a limitation of the game as I see it with all classic rosters.

If anyone plays or sims any seasons please give me your feed back.
