looks like most teams were updated to '03 I'll see what I can do with it this weekend, and go from there. I'll also work on the CFL graphics since those are premade and can be easily converted.

Version 1.2 of the rosters are now available at FBMax.com and should be showing up on EAMods.com shortly.  This version adds all free agent transactions up to sometime last week.  Once the draft is completed tomorrow, will begin importing draftees.

Thanks Great job with the rosters.

What are the ten teams in the CFL you made?

[Hoop27]

ok 2 Q's to answer.

Rhino I dont touch rosters I dont need a heart attack this young in life just looking at collecting a bunch of art and fixing up what needs to be fixed then put it all into one file for ease.

and for our VCFL Commish it's the same 10 teams that come in the default MCFL

Calgary
Edmonton
Saskatchewan (Regina in the MCFL)
Winnipeg
B.C. (Vancouver in the MCFL)
Montreal
Toronto
Hamilton
Ottawa Renegades (folded a couple seasons back but Ottawa just got another team)
Atlantic Schooners (Halifax in the MCFL. It was the proposed expansion team that never came to life.)

hope that explains it.

Just to give you an idea the last time I did rosters was for Earl Weaver Baseball lol

[bassman58]

Hoop27, I loved Earl Weaver Baseball. It got me making rosters myself. I liked that you could get the PC to say the players names.


MjH, thanks for pointing out the location of the uniforms in the unsorted section. I thought I forgot to upload something.

[Hoop27]

actually Rhino now what I mean by packaging a bunch up, For example Bassman has done a bunch of the NFL teams (that I could find) as well as a couple other people on the ones I dl'd.

So I am sitting with all the team uni's but maybe half the teams with field art etc. so if I cant find field art for the missing teams I'll do that and then with the original modders permission I would pack them all into one download that will make it easier for the average guy to just d/l it and not have to worry about finding pieces.

edit: or what would be an even better idea would be to just collaborate with the community and see who has field art 'A' and team logo 'B' and then have it all in one that way.

Update on the Max2k rosters -- I should have the first Beta set uploaded within the next day or so.  This set will have an updated free agent list with over 200 real world free agents in addition to the previously mentioned changes.
 
I also caught a few signings and trades and such that were missed in the prior updates due to my info source for the first round of free agent movement being a tad limited.
 
I'm thinking of including as many drafted players as possible in the release.  If I do this, the players will have the correct heights and weights, names, DOB, etc, but will all have ratings of "50" for every attribute, just to get them in there for now.  I hope to have these changes completed by the weekend if not sooner.  From there, I am turning my attention back to working on profiles and plays to improve my personal gameplay experience and FINALLY play through some seasons with a custom league and maybe settle down with some NFL league play when it gets closer to opening weekend.
 
So, it goes without saying, but - if anyone wants to distribute these or my MadNFL rosters or make their own modifications to them, please feel free to do so.  The MadNFL rosters' attributes probably work better for MaxFB gameplay, but these have been pretty decent thus far also in my limited testing, and are of course far more accurate as to proper teams and the little biographical details. 
 
I'm just sharing my relatively minor work with the community that I was originally doing just for myself in my limited free time.  I'm very pleased that I can share any info about the game or the rare user-made creation I put together with the community at large because I've benefitted a lot from others sharing their plays, uniforms, et al over the past year and a half I've owned the game.  Without the help of this community, MaxFB would not even come close to being the fun and addictive football sim it is today, IMO.

Yes these are Great Rosters, but how Do I sim a season?
I go to season schedule and click on a game but nothing happens.

Thanks.

[quixian]

I was meaning to try out the rosters soon for simming purposes as well - just hadn't gotten there yet.  I'm guessing it would be an easy fix (probably mismatched team names and numbers, or something else not lining up between tables in the mdb).  I'll check it out tonight and hopefully have that one fixed shortly.  I hadn't even reviewed the season schedules to see if they were generating properly so hopefully I can fix several possible issues at once when I check it out.  Thanks!

The new BETA version of the rosters have now been uploaded to FBMAX.com.  New features in this version:

- Over 200 (maybe over 300) real world free agents and undrafted rookies.
- Most drafted rookies should be assigned to their correct teams, with correct heights, weights, DOB, uniform #'s (from college), et al.
- All rookies have the correct Speed attribute.  All other attributes are set to 50 simply to get this roster out there.
- Problem with simulating games in season has been fixed, at least from what I can tell.
- A few more players have been assigned to their correct teams as a result of trades and free agency.
- Favre still on Packers, at least until training camp is over and the new starting QB is anointed.  You never know.  I am no Packer fan but nothing would surprise me still.

Still to do - fix a few minor details here and there.  I will definitely add to this roster as time goes on, but the updates will come more slowly depending on NFL transactions.
