Madden 20 Start Today Mod/Franchise File 2020

Hello everyone,
As we move into the 2020 season I figured it was time to make a new thread for the Madden 20 Start Today Mod, with a more fitting thread title.

For those who are new, the Start Today Mod was started by me back in January of 2020, and has had extraordinary support from the community. The most updated franchise file included begins at THE 2021 PRESEASON, or if you scroll down you can download the franchise file from Version 2.4 in order to start at Week 1 of 2020 if you want. I originally created the franchise file with the Superbowl roster from EA and went through 2019, replicating everything that happened in real life, and have replicated everything throughout the offseason. So without further ado, here's what the Start Today Mod/Franchise File entails, among other things:

- Correct team records/standings for the 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 Season
- Correct coaches for 2021/a fleshed out coaching FA pool
- Completely accurate 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 player season statistics, as well as completely accurate player career stats
- Completely accurate awards for 2019/2020 and 2020/2021winners (Aaron Rodgers as MVP, Aaron Donald as DPOY, etc)
- All FA's signed to their correct teams, as well as accurate year-by-year cap hits
- All contract extensions and restructures have been handled
- All 5th year options have been added to players who had their option exercised
- All rookies in the 2020 draft and 2021 draft(including compensatory picked players) have been drafted to the correct teams at the correct draft spots
*Compensatory picked players have retroactively had their player cards adjusted to show where they were drafted in real life
- All UDFA's have been signed to their correct teams with the standard UDFA 3 year contract
- All updated team uniforms and logos in real life have been replicated in this mod
- Moved the Raiders to Las Vegas and updated stadiums for the Raiders and Chargers/Rams
- All player ratings match EA's official Madden 21 ratings
- Scouting points no longer decay after simming weeks (you don't have to 'use them or lose them')
- You can now scout as early as week 1 (instead of week 3)
- All players on the Covid Opt Out list have been played on IR, and their injury reason displays as 'Covid-19 Opt Out'
- Completely rebranded Washington as the Washington Football team, and we've included an optional Washington Warriors mod which turns the WFT into the Warriors at any point, courtesy of JarekNT and CRBiv14 (read the readme in the download for more info)
- The news/tweets section is updated by me with each release

And with that said, here's the most recent update:
