M15 2016/2017 Offseason Roster (Xbox 360)

[rplatypus]

Madden 15 2017-2018 Roster Xbox 360.

The most current file is the 2017-2018 roster (all versions).

Includes:

*All players ages and years pro have been advanced and are correct for the 2017-2018 NFL season.

*Transactions up to date as of 7/23/17.

*Audio added to 100's of players. All players have the correct audio or no audio at all.

*Complete 2017 Draft with correct bios, ages, audio (where applicable), draft position and contracts. I google imaged and checked out a scouting report of all rookies so appearance, gear and attributes should be solid enough. Adjust the ratings as you see fit.

*Retired Players have been removed from the game completely and won’t reappear in Connected Franchise Mode.

*Fantasy draft is 100% working. You can add as many players as the game allows and fantasy draft will continue to work.

*Updated over 1,000 contracts. All players on their rookie contracts have been advanced. The 2016 draft class have 3 years remaining, 2015 have 2 years remaining and 2014 have 1 year remaining on their contracts. I also fixed most of the 2017 FA contracts and I think most of the 2018 free agents have just 1 year remaining on their contracts.

*Development trait has been added to some players from the 2015, 2016, 2017 draft classes. You can check the players who received the Dev trait upgrade by running a fantasy draft.

*Depth charts are set at Best Position Player Available.

*All teams are within cap range for CFM. I think it varies from -$5M to $30M in cap room for teams.

I added a 3rd round to the mock draft. It now has 98 total 2016 rookies. I added audio to any rookie that I could. I might try to add more rookies but I am getting kinda tired of creating them. If anyone wants to help create more rookies, I will add to it. Not sure if I'll create more without help. It's very time consuming.

Thanks for your efforts. Please keep going until you've created every prospect above a grade 30 on ESPNs draft list. You know you want to.

There's probably a better chance of JPP teaching a fireworks safety class than me creating a full 7 round mock. I can only make around 30 or 40 players at a time before I get burnt out for a month. I might have another round in me but it won't be for a few weeks. If just 10-15 people created 10 or so players each, we'd have a complete prospects pool for the M15 & M16 communities next week.

I hear ya...Not many takers these days, though.

Updated transactions on 4/4/16. Changed the Rams to LA and updated the playbooks. The Rams name change looks like it only applies to play now, not CFM. Not sure if the playbooks are also only updated for the CPU in play now. Also fixed all the player Id's of players not on the roster. This means that only players that appear on the roster will show up in CFM. It also means that any players added to the roster will continue to appear in fantasy draft. Roster should be 95% accurate or better. I don't want to cut the Fb's, K's or P's and leave gaps in the depth charts making the file unplayable.

I will try to add a 4th round of prospects before the 2016 draft if I get some more time this month. I may cheat after that and change the names of some similar prospects from a different roster and just import them into this one to fill out all the 2016 draft picks.

Please don't do that. Or if you do, just tell us you made them (but at least edit the players based on combine results).

If I do it right, you shouldn't be able to tell the difference. Ratings are the easy part even though I still need to tweak the prospects that I already created after the draft. Appearance, gear and bio takes up most of my time. I have been searching twitter posts of the prospects to find actual birthdays and checking Google images for appearance and gear. Appearance and gear are what I'm worried about if I cheat. I would still adjust the stats, ht, wt, audio, etc.

I don't know how much time I want to invest in a roster that I won't be using when M17 comes out. Fixing all the player Id's made it where anybody that wishes to continue with this roster when I'm done can continue to update until M18 without a noticeable difference from the future M17 roster hopefully. I added dev trait to projected high 2016 picks and also to 2015 rookies that excelled last year. I also changed the consistency rating from 0 to 85 for all the 2016 rookies that I have created so they hopefully don't feel like create a players.

I'm about 25% of the way through rd 4 right now, so I'll see how I feel about creating more the honest way after this round is completed.

Re: M15 2016/2017 Offseason Roster (Xbox 360)

Quick update. I finished a 4th round of draft prospects (139 total prospects) and have been keeping up with transactions (of players already in the game anyways). I will likely only add prospects that are drafted in the top 4 rounds that I haven't created after the draft and call it a day. It's too time consuming to keep up with by myself and I have a classic roster that I'd rather spend the time on. I will upload the roster to madden share after the draft so I can input the salaries and draft positions of the players.

I will upload the entire roster CSV file to this thread next week. With it in CSV format, you can take any M15 360 roster with the same amount of players and just import the entire thing with Xan's editor by using the import roster function. I wouldn't import the entire file to a M16 roster though because I changed player Id's specifically for M15.

If anybody wants the individual CSV files of the 2016 rookies I created, let me know and I will upload them also. You can import them to any M15 or M16 360 roster with Xan's editor by using the import player function.

Re: M15 2016/2017 Offseason Roster (Xbox 360)

Updated the original post, a csv roster file is included. It includes rounds 1-5 done and 40 additional 2016 rookies for a total of 215 rookies. I might try to add some more rooks in the next few weeks but no guarantees. All rookies except for the Punters and Kicker have a 5 Kick Accuracy rating so that you can easily sort and find them.

I used August 20th as the cutoff for the rookie ages. For example any player born in 1994 before August 20th is 22 years old. If they were born after August 20th they are 21 years old. I think Madden uses September 1st but I'm not positive. I used January 1st as the birthdate for any player where I couldn't find the specific day. All years should be correct, hopefully.

All 215 rookies created so far were made by the create a player function in game. I figured you ought to know so you don't wake up in a cold sweat sometime this month wondering if I cheated. Rest easy sslootsky.

Re: M15 2016/2017 Offseason Roster (Xbox 360)

It looks like I am going to have to increase the rookie overall ratings. I started a franchise and saw numerous players released by the CPU controlled teams before the season began including 2 second round picks, Hb Derrick Henry 74 overall and K Roberto Aguayo 78 overall.

Henry makes some sense given the Titans depth at the position and his overall is tied for 4th among Titans Rb's. Scheme could also be a factor. Aguayo threw me off a bit. He's the only kicker on the Bucs, he has 94 kick power, 91 kick accuracy and 65 awareness. He has an $850k salary on a 4 year $3.6 million contract with a $1.2 million bonus. The Bucs signed Randy Bullock, an 81 overall with 95 kick power, 85 kick accuracy and 79 awareness to replace him. They didn't need the cap room so Aguayo is going to have to get an 80 or so rating for the Bucs to retain him that first season. I probabably need to boost the punters overall ratings up a bit also.

Right now all the overalls range from 63-81 (excluding the drafted long snapper at a 56) so I'm thinking a 2-3 point increase for the players currently rated 66 and below and a 1-3 point increase for some of the players rated 67-75 or so. The max overall rating for the rookies will remain at 81 and probably 20 or less players will have a 76 overall or above (possibly more than that with the P's, Fb's and the K getting increases). I gave the rookies a 40-65 range on awareness for the most part. Play recognition for the defensive players match the awareness rating since that is how the dev team had it in M16. So this should be a fairly easy fix by upgrading just those stats.

Edit: The Csv file in the original post has been updated with the increased ratings. They range from 65-81 except for two 64 overall Qb's and a 56 overall long snapper. All rookies from the top 3 rounds of the draft now stay signed. Round 4 has like 3 or 4 Wr's released due to depth. For Rd 5 on down, it's up to the gods. Many are retained but some were released.

Also of note is that after the 53 man cuts in CFM it may look like some of the rookies have been deleted from franchise mode. That is not the case. There are over 1100 players in the FA pool after the final cuts and the game only allows you to see the top 100 or so (I didn't bother to count the exact number) per position.

This is great work, thanks! Is there any chance you could upload the roster file itself?
