This is our 2008-2009 Roster file and settings. I also included a franchise file (with the new schedule of course) for those of you that can't wait to play an 08 season or franchise. Also I just wanted to say that for our rosters to play as we intended them to play you need to use our settings. For better players you can turn the pass and run block down, or if your not as skilled turn them up a couple clicks, but all other sliders should be let were they are. This update includes the following:
1. We used gettyimages.com for game day photos. In doing so we achieved about 96-100% matches for player skin color as well as all player equipment. This makes our roster look beyond real. This took about 2 hours each team.
2. Thanks to 500bloc and puja, we used combine numbers such as 40 times, bench and vertical jump to update players as far back as 2000. We still kept our ratings in all other areas just used combine numbers for those three areas.
3. Free agency updated as of 5-12-08 (Greg Spires to Oak not done), though he is a free agent so you could just add him to Oakland if you like. It is still really hard to with free agency still in progress to know which players won't be re-signed.
4. 2008 NFL Draft, rounds 1,2 and most of three as well as some big name rookies and other rookies that were needed to build up some rosters were also added. Rookie ratings are obviously not done to a tee, but are fairly close. Combine numbers were used, but fine tuning will happen at a later update, once player movement comes to a close we will add more rookies as needed.
There will be updates leading all the way up to the 08-09 Season. any questions you can email me at [email protected] or pm me here. hope you guys enjoy, play a couple games and give me some feedback. thanks josh
-25% Formula
Our roster is only meant to be played with the eq on. As for the -25% thing, we use this on our teams (player controlled teams in our season) this allows the cpu to be as strong as possible and sets our players at level were the players are still good, but not too good. By using the -25% on run coverage and pass coverage only it allows the cpu qb's to play well and allows thier run game to excel. I know it takes a little time but its worth it for us. Along wih those sliders posted this is as close to simulation as we could get. We also tried other rosters, which are also very good, but we like the game to be as tough as possible, where a couple bad plays can, and will cost you a game.
