[font="Courier New"]Are all the different professional leagues' players limits in MF?

If not, that would be nice in MF.

The NFL, I think, has a 53-player roster per franchise.

Since, a moderator had editted this post and I cannot remember what exactly I originally posted, thus I am going to rephrase this questionable sentence (that was responsed to by that same moderator) and use the opportunity to make it all one-topic (not sure if it was that way originally or not). It would also be awesome, if MF also included each of CFB conferences per program limits.

It would be awesome, if MF also included the ability for each program to use the roster limits as they please. Using Red shirting and Medical-RSing to raise the roster limits from game day roster limits to include Red shirting and Medical-RSing limits.

You determine how big you want the rosters to be when you set up the league.  I think the current options are 60, 45, and maybe 40 (not sure, I'm not in front of my PC with the game on it).  53 is supposed to be added soon.

Since MF is a game based on professional football American, Indoor or Canadian rules how would this occur?

The roster sizes in the game are: 20, 40, 45, 53, and 65 players respectively.
It would also be awesome, if MF also included each of CFB conferences per program limits.

Conference formats are determined by the schedule. At this time, the schedule is set up as a round robin by the computer, but the schedule can be edited.

This will need to be confirmed by the floor, but my understanding of college football roster rules was that for home games there was no limit to the number of players you could dress, but for road games, you had a travelling squad that couldn't be more than 55 or 65 players (I thought it was 55, but the 65 man roster option might be what that was for). The rules might have changed and I could be totally wrong on this point

If I'm right, however, and we're going for total accuracy and compliance here, this would pose huge problems from a gaming standpoint. It would mean two completely separate rosters for home and road games.

             [font="courier new"]You are right, about different rosters sizes home and away; however, I do not know what rosters limit is for away. Also, when I posted about the rosters sizes I meant the players in full-pads/available for the game (which varies from program to program because of injuries, redshirting and etc,). Sure it would be nice to see those injured players, reshirted players and etc on the sideline dressed, no pads,/unavailable, but I am talking about leaving of those just dressed, from each programs' game day rosters. Of course, outside the game day rosters, then I definitely want all 85-players.[/font]

[font="courier new"]All I would need is the players available on my roster, if I reshirted no one, no one is injured enough and no one has any reason not to be available at home and away game times, then great give me 85-scholarship players. If there are any of the above, in the my previous sentence, before home and away games, then give me what is left over. I would not want to limited by an away game rule, instilled because of the real away game's costs of having 85+-players or whatever the reasons are.[/font]

If the roster is set to 40 players, the computer will pick up three free agents to fill out the active roster. 

Pretend they don't exist.

Not trying to start a fight, but 85 is simply the number players a school can have on scholarship at one time, assuming they aren't being penalized with sanctions, like the entire SEC except for Vanderbilt [:D]. At the larger schools, rosters routinely break 100+ with walk-ons.

[font="courier new"]                                          WOW! You would figure there is a limit. I guess this means that MF could decide their own CFB limit, I like 100-players, but 85-players for game days.[/font]

It is left to each team. We do have scholarship requirements, but that has nothing to do with how many players may be dressed. We limit the number of people in the team area, but in theory, those could all be players.

[font="courier new"]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; No, I am posting (as others has, even in this very discussion)&nbsp;to help a narrow focused FB gaming game to become useable for any football level. By posting about 100-players, to&nbsp;simulate the environments that happen in CFB level. Yes, as stated in past, I continue to try to entertain myself with lower division levels; however,&nbsp;with the level of FB played there, I just cannot. Thus, I am only pushing for Div. 1A Fb of CFB.[/font]

Actually I read just the other day that there's a limit to the number of walk-ons a team can have in their program. According to the article it is some sort of NCAA rule. As I recall the number was either 125 or 135 total players including the 85 on scholarship. (I forget which)
