Team File Questions

This team does not have a valid team profile.

What does this mean?

[Tullius]

Every team needs a team profile to organize the roster. The team profile defines the number of players for every postition and the skills a player needed. So when profile includes 3 QB the team will have 3 QB. When the skills for all QB are Pass Strength and Intelligence the AI sorts the players accordings these criterias. Without such a profile the AI is helpless. The profile has to match the roster size.

[Hubbard]

Tullius, the first two numbers in the name of the profile have to match the roster size. I am running a league with 53 man rosters. I renamed the stock profile which I believe was called "45_45_strongpass.txt" to "53_strongpass.txt". Although the stock profile was for a 45 man roster the game will fill in the remaining players.

[VCFL Commish]

So how are the profiles made.Is it somewhere in the game?

[Deft]

You can either import them, nmleague has several on fbmax.com or you can make your own by going team profile at the stage right before the draft.

[VCFL Commish]

Thanks I will try that when i get home after work

[VCFL Commish]

You should be using the in-game team profile editor to make these changes so the game can enforce the restrictions on use.

 
Could someone put some screen shots to where this editor is because I can`t find it.

Thanks never noticed that at change view

[&:] OK, dumb me!  In the Screen Shot there is a position of SB/TE.  I thought I knew everything there was/is about football, but I do not know the reference to "SB"!  Is that a Set-Back, or a Wing-Back that you would use in a Full-House Backfield, or something else?

[David Winter]

SB = Slotback. It's a position specific to Canadian rules.

[Charlie19341]

Again, dumb me!  Forgot that we have more than Americam Football in this game!
 
BTW, David, do you ever sleep [>:]

Once in a while...

Actually, the slot back position is also used in American football.  The Philadelphia Eagles were famous for using a formation called the "Slot-T" in the 1950s.  A slot back is a receiver positioned between the TE/OT and the WR "in the slot" between them.  I imagine Dave uses this designation to facilitate DB coverages.

[Charlie19341]

Interesting formation!  I would think that the TE is on the line, and the SB is off the line, but I guess either works.

[Ambermonk]

The SB is off the line.  Think of it as a semi-wide flanker.

[VCFL Commish]

Usually here and someone can correct me if I am wrong.Here in a double TE formation usually d-linemen line up in the TE positions

[Marauders]

I posted this in the rules section. It shows the positions on the field.

[Ambermonk]

Thanks for the diagram Marauders.  A picture is worth a thousand words.
