It's a mixed pot with some teams. One of the reasons I went with Jack Lambert as a CF is he played in the Tampa 2 defense which meant on a pass he was playing Center Field. Probably put too much though into that but most of the OF is WR's DB's and RB's. Again this varied by team as I did not have a hard fast rule. I have some linemen in the infield, especially 1B. All were adjusted as best I could to the player and position. 28 teams with 21 players on each team, it was much more time consuming than I expected. Plus I edited every player to the correct color, hair and face as best I could remember.

Currently 12-3 as my editing just gave me an "L" to San Francisco. Steve DeBerrg was the starter in 1979 and Montana was a Rookie. Decided to make Montana the S rated pitcher but in doing so, felt bad for DeBerg and made him an A+ rated pitcher. This was for a team that went 2-14 in 1979 so the rest of the roster outside of the one S rated non-pitcher was edited to be that crappy. Yet somehow they have stayed near .500 and DeBerg shut me out for 6 innings as they took a 4-0 lead. Was able to score 3 in the final inning but yet another popup on a high pitch doomed me, as it did all game.

Also with my rosters I only went with players from 1979 that I had actually heard of.  Only the Cowboys and Steelers roster are completely from that year. Some teams I only knew 4-5 players. So I ended up using a bunch of All-Pros from across each decade. I did my best to make the 1979 players the best rated players.  Also to differentiate between the two, any player who did not play in 1979 got their name reversed. So Lane Night Train is tearing it up right now for the Cardinals. Had to throw some owners in on a couple teams. The Browns, Bengals and Tampa Bay were nightmares due to how bad their teams were over the year.

Stats and Leaders through week 20.  Came off a heartbreaking loss to Atlanta in 10 innings, Then in a win at Detroit I lose Stallworth and Swan to injury (out a couple games) and another pitcher is flattened by a hit and will miss a start.

from the steam patch notes:

"Franchise news feed text has been updated to use gender-neutral pronouns."

lol where's Brent.  I want to see if the top of his head blows off.

Just call me Zim big boy.  Zieself thinks it's a wonderful addition to the game.  ;)

Don't know if it was the patch or I was rusty but Ken Stabler shut me out for 6 innings. had a two run lead heading to the bottom of the final inning. Then he loaded the bases, walked in the first run. Joe Green has been slumping so I desperately subbed him with out of position Rocky Bleier. Base hit, two runs score, the Steelers win!

I was getting tired of changing names back so I cancelled my franchise and started a 162 game/7 inning season where I do not have to worry about trades, FA's and such.

Halfway through creating my 30 team College Football League that consists of All-Americans from each team. This one I have tweaked to only have two divisions (North and South) due to so many teams changing conferences over the years. Also plan on running a 162 game/7 inning season with it. Top 4 teams from each division advance to the playoffs.

We might not have football this year but by gosh I will have something to get me through the winter.

I lost to the Cleveland Browns today in 15 innings.

It looks like online leagues is finally coming next week (9/29).

BDSooner72

Yup, will be interesting to see it in action.  Have not seen the patch notes but they really need to tone down the fielders missing a ground ball, especially when diving and having it roll 20 yards away. It was comical the first few times, now not so much.
