What will be the outcome of this effort? 1) realistic and almost spot on (to the best of the Madden editor's ability) to replicate the actual equipment the players wore for the team that is represented in the file. This means if they wore a 2 bar vintage facemask and 2 double wrist guards, that is what you will see on the player on the field. If they wore eye black and neck rolls, that's what you will see. You won't see the teams from the 60's and 70's wearing the newer helmets, just as you won't see the newer teams wearing the old fashioned 2 bar facemasks. We tried to change all guys on older teams to not have dreads or hair sticking out of their helmet. That is just one indication of the level of detail. The reproduction is uncanny and amazing! 2) ratings adjusted to better replicate that player for that particular year. Since he re-rated about every player in the set, ratings are now uniform across the board - meaning better gameplay on the field and a better representation of how that player performed for the year in question. 3) depth charts adjusted where needed. This means the players that got the most playing time on the field for the teams will also do so in this set. 4) special attention to legends and 5 star players. Tony Dorsett will look like and run like Dorsett. Same for Payton. Jim Taylor won't beat you to the outside often but will make you pay between the tackles. Joe Willie will be throwing deep to Maynard and Sauer. Staubach will take off on you if you don't put a spy on him. Jaworski will throw it up for Carmichael at the goal line to come down with the catch. Lawrence Taylor and Harry Carson will hunt down your RBs and QBs from sideline to sideline. All in all it is a fantastic job by l8knight1 and his attention to detail is amazing and really what makes this set shine. Now, the revised set is NOT up in the vault yet for download. We are finishing off adding the 1989 49ers to the set, and once that is done, it will be posted. I know you will have hours of fun with this set to fill in the gap until Madden 16 comes out, and in between games of MLB The Show 15!! Thanks...and keep an eye out for when we announce it is posted. C PS: the current set in the vault does NOT have all these changes so don't bother downloading

What a treat! The first set was unbelievable, this will be even more so! Can't wait. Thanks to you and knight for your time and dedication.
