^their jersey #s are set from LocalSports as many times Yahoo, NFL.com, Ourlads etc all show a different value for the "53rd man's" jersey # until he's been on the team a week or two. All info has been set for them like every other player (charted physical attributes, PBP, college, skin/face, ht, wt, etc)
--IR players are still in free agency, & are set thru this weekend (e.g. Ricky, Rosy Colvin, Adrian Wilson etc now included... Sean Taylor & Priest are there too)
--Additional midseason rating tweaks have been made (I was pretty happy with the increased separation among QB ratings so that is still in from last posting, albeit more refined).
--Thanks to Finn's dominance (as per usual), it appears the one tiny bug plaguing this file has now been destroyed... there no more weird stats after the first offseason! Based on my limited testing this file could now be used "as is" to start franchises up with no bugs/freezing/etc (of course, it wouldnt have 100s of real contracts or real rookie prospects...
)
Because I am not using any CAPs for this file (to help keep it bug-free in franchise mode), I am limited to 1944 total players... so, as I add new players I am "storing" all overwritten players in the free agent pool of a separate default roster. This serves as one easy place to go get any players who played a game or 2 this season but are presently excluded from the file due to space constraints (guys like Darius Vinnet STL, Willie Gaston BAL, Raymond Ventrone NE, Billy Latsko CAR, Michael Jennings NYG, etc). I've already got 150+ players sitting there in FA ready to be pasted over via the editor, all with correct info set (DOB, ht, wt, appearance, exp, PBP, college, ratings etc). So, I'll make that file available in the discussion thread for anyone seeking to quickly paste in one or more of these guys to the roster for themselves without doing any research/editing/leg work.
Next update will be franchiseV1 for testing. Thanks for any comments/appreciation & whatnot that I haven't responded to
As usual, if you have any questions, comments, thoughts, discussion etc about this or any of my files please DO NOT post them in this thread. Instead direct all posts to the following:

This will hopefully keep this thread free & clear for file postings.
