    1997 Roster

    First off allow me to credit Iteachpercussion and his 1994 roster set as with his consent I am using that roster as my base to save time in regards to players still In the league in 97. He does great work and I very much appreciate him always answering my questions allowing him to be a great resource for me.

    With that out of the way I'll now discuss the roster itself. Before touching ratings and equipment I am building the rosters putting correct players on correct teams.

    Teams completed in regards to placing players on teams:

    AFC Central
    Steelers
    Ravens
    Oilers
    Jaguars
    Bengals

    AFC West
    Chiefs
    Broncos



    I plan to update you guys regularly. Hoping this is a roster set you all can enjoy.

        I have successfully completed the Raiders and Sea hawks in regards to putting the correct players on the correct rosters. If there is anyone who would like to help with this part of the process just hit me up

            1997 was a dud for us Bears fans. We called it the start of the "Wanny Death Spiral", the first of consecutive 4-12 seasons under Dave Wannstedt. And, not surprisingly, 1998 was his last season.

            The Bears had been declining more and more since 1985, which was apparent on a Monday night in Miami. In 1985, the 12-0 Bears got handed their first and only defeat of the season. But in 1997, the 0-7 Bears won their first game of the year, and didn't win many more. Both were on a Monday night, but the interesting part was why; the game in 1997 was supposed to be played that Sunday at 1:00 pm local time.

            Well, it turned out that the Marlins needed Pro Player Stadium for Game 7 of the World Series, which obviously trumped the Dolphins' need. So the game was played on Monday night.

            In any case, I'm looking forward to the challenge. Probably going to be a little smarter than Wannstedt and start Erik Kramer instead of putzing around with Rick Mirer or Steve Stenstrom.
            Would the lady who left her nine kids at Wrigley Field please pick them up immediately? They are beating the Cubs 4-0 in the 7th inning!

              Hard to believe Rick Mirer was employed by an NFL team in literal 2003 lol

                Yup, and he will be fully playable in my Madden 2004 roster. lol He was actually employed by the Lions in 2004 as well.

                Can't wait for this roster. Hopefully I can get the Pack past the Broncos in the SB and John has to go out with 0.
                NFL- Green Bay Packers
                NCAA- Florida State Seminoles
                NHL- Carolina Hurricanes

                    Re: 1997 Roster

                    Seems my help fell through. I apologize that this update is taking a while. Colts and Jets have been placed on proper rosters. Halfway through Pats. Will wrap up the east and then on to the NFC. If you'd like to help putting players on correct teams please let me know

                      Pats have been put on their roster. Bills and Dolphins left. After those two I will move to the NFC then expansion Browns and Texans.

                      As for the process this is how I am doing the rosters.

                      1. Players on correct teams
                      2. Equpiment
                      3. Ratings

                          Quick update. My roster file had to disappear and I had to start over. I'm back to where I was in the previous update I gave you guys.

                            Hey how’s it going? Are you still working on the 97 roster and if so do you any more updates about it? I’d love to download a complete set from that season.

                              Afc teams have correct players on their rosters. I have not touch ratings. I have not started putting the correct players on NFC or expansion teams. I c got off to a fast start, but real life has slowed progress. Yes I'm still working on it, but I have no time table for when it will be complete
