(roster is for PS4)
Well guys,
I said the only reason I made a draft/prospects roster last year was 'cause I was recovering from surgery and had a ton of time on my hands... which was true.
But, it seems I can't "wait" and just go with others' draft prospects rosters.
I learned a lot last year, most notably don't make all the prospects with ONE TEAM (i.e. the Cowboys...smh).
Anyway, last year I released it on 3/1 and this year I was shooting for 2/1, but I doubt I make that. I'm gonna' shoot for Valentine's Day... but, it'll definitely be out before the Combine.
Last year the initial release I believe had 276 prospects and ended up with around 340ish I think before the draft (before adding everyone after the draft and around 100 UDFA's). I'm not sure I'll make that many this year before waiting until the draft, but we'll see. My initial goal is 255 prospects.
I'm only done with 25 so far. The ratings will run from an 81 or so down to around a 64. I'm using the final regular season roster update from EA. Last year I used one that was released in the playoffs and manually edited each change from EA's final three updates... but, I won't be doing that this year 'cause the Wild Card roster update was RIDICULOUS.
The base roster has every player that was on a roster when the regular season ended as well as anyone added to a playoff roster that wasn't in the game. That's 16 players added that weren't in the game for EA's final regular season update. I may make around 5 more as a few guys who went on IR early in the season weren't put in the game. It also has all players that were signed to a reserve/future contract. Practice squad players not signed to a reserve/future contract were released.
I hope to stick with it and finish... and not quit lol.
Just giving you guys a heads up since I had quite a few messages asking if I was doing a prospects roster this year.
P.S. I use height, weight and OVR rankings based on info from the CBS Sports draft prospects page.
Update : Uploaded on 4/10 with 277 draft prospects in the free agent pool and 23 players added to rosters that weren't in the game. Transactions, jersey numbers and depth charts accurate through 4/10. Name of the file is 2016DRAFTHTOWN5933. Enjoy!
4/18 update. There are now 309 prospects in the FA pool. Over half of the prospects received ratings adjustments. Still need to look at "returners ratings" for return specialists. Transactions are current through 4/18 with today's upload. Enjoy!
Adjusted the ratings for the top ten or twelve returner prospects. Ready for the 28th!
As of the 4/22 update, there are now 316 prospects in the FA pool!
4/26.... transactions current and 317 prospects in the FA pool!
