Rosters and Franchise?

[tinpanalley]

I'm just beginning to go back to this game blown away by the amount of work done to keep it alive. Can someone explain to me why people offer Roster and Franchise files? What is the Franchise file supposed to help accomplish that the roster file on its own can't do?

Thanks!

The main advantage of Franchise files is that they include schedule.

So, that means people are editing the current schedule and attaching it to a franchise so that it corresponds with the current season. But other than that, there's no other purpose for offering franchise files?

Yes, lol. They also do it to set draft class sometimes.

Ahh, ok. That's something else I hadn't considered because I only play straight up one-off, non draft seasons. But the scheduling thing also makes sense because it's the only way to offer people the schedule of the current season. Would be cool if someone had the 2017-18 season done. I tried playing with the editor program but had trouble setting exact dates. It's probably locked to the days that games used to happen on 10 years ago which rarely included Thursdays.

I've haven't poked around with changing schedules to much. I did see someone named raiderman on these forums make a few the last couple seasons. Maybe he did... If you can find a schedule to download replacing the current one on a set-up franchise isn't too hard.

Sure, but you'd need that Franchise to be made from a roster that was up to date and as of right now we don't quite have one yet. But db56 will have one soon.
