Well, I recently started a new project, the 1963 NFL. I hope to finish it, and I am not sure of the timeline, but the project has been fun so far. There is a version of the roster with just the Giants and Browns uploaded to Madden Share.

Currently, I only intend to do NFL teams, not AFL teams. I might go back and pick up the AFL, but I cannot promise that at this time.

Also, this is a PLAY NOW roster ONLY! I will NOT be doing anything to Free Agents or "expansion" teams. When I am finished with the roster, if someone else wants to tackle that as a project, be my guest.

I also have uploaded an offensive and defensive playbook for use with the roster. I will certainly be making adjustments to the playbooks to fine tune them, but at the moment they do a pretty decent job of replicating the 1960s NFL. Keep in mind that there are certain limitations that I can simply not work around for the playbooks. Formations are missing, such as the Pro formation.

For those who have played my rosters before, I usually try to keep players' ages and experience close to reality. However, with this roster, I am not worrying about that at all since it has no bearing on Play Now games. I am trying to keep height and weight close on QBs, RBs, WRs, CBs, Ss. Lineman I was going to try, but I do not think it is possible. So, I am using modern lineman as lineman. It is working well so far.

You will see that some punters and kickers are doubles of guys who played another position too. This is on purpose. I tried to give them a number close to their real numbers. Back in the 60s, few teams had a true kicking specialist, most used a guy already on the roster, so I am doing my best to replicate that.

I have played the Browns vs. Giants a couple of full games and a couple of partial games and I am pretty happy with the results. I also did a CPU v CPU game and it played nicely.

I know this roster will not be a popular one overall, but I know there are a few guys on here who should enjoy it. Overall this is a roster I just wanted to see if I could make it work.

Please take a look at the roster and see what you think so far. Feedback is appreciated.
