I began my roster project with the goal of creating an All-Time Roster set. After running into problems (not being able to create players with the same number), I shifted gears to creating rosters of a single season.
I chose the 1993 season for a couple reasons: One, my Bills made the Super Bowl, and two, it was a great era in NFL history. Some of the game's greatest players were in their prime. We had Elway, Marino, Young, Aikman, and Sanders, among many, many others.
This is an incredibly time-consuming process:
- I start by compiling all the data on
Google Docs. On this document you can see, one of my goals in creating this roster set is to make it as realistic as possible.
- The second (and most tedious) part of my process is entering the data into the game, or actually creating the players.
- I also Google each player to get an idea of what they looked like in their uniform. That way I can edit their equipment accordingly.
I will be posting updated files of the roster set as I complete whole teams. Please see the following post to find the most current file.
