JSOU'S 2008-09 Roster Update #1

[crush1]

How exactly do you subtract 25%?

I went into Finn's Editor and went to a team, selected all the players, right-clicked and chose global edit, checked coverage/run coverage, checked subtract, but what about the 25%?

Check percentage in the type section, then 25 for the amount, then update and your done. Take that roster to the console and start a franchise. Then save it before any games are played (turning of the preseason), then go back into finns editor and set your salary cap and schedule. Then take your file back to the console and you ready to go. Be ready to bring it each week, that is if your using our settings as well.

So technically after you finish every week, we have to save the franchise go back to the editor and the coverages will be reset? So I finish a week 1 game save the franchise put it in the editor and subtract the 25% after every game? If that is the case, then it won't affect defensive trades with my team b/c the newly acquired players on defense their coverages will be reset? Sorry if I'm confusing I'm just trying to make sure I'm doing this right.

You only need to lower it 25% the first time. It will stay that way from there on out. He meant be ready to bring your "A" game each week, because it will make it much harder to win.

Presumably, it would lower your chances of trading with those guys, since their ratings would be lower.

thats good though since trading w/ the CPU is a bit too easy in this game

There's an even easier solution. Dont do trades at all. I used to do a few trades when I played 2K3 but not with 2K5. No trades is one of my franchise rules and doesnt just apply to me personally, I dont allow the CPU to complete trades either.

We don't trade either, not too many trades in the NFL anyway. I'm not saying they don't exist, but they are pretty rare.

Thanks for putting this up, JSOU. I'm new to this (using AR, not the game) and I have a question. What do you mean when you say "set your salary cap and schedule?" I thought they were already on the franchise file. What do I need to change in these two things?

Thanks.

Edit: Sorry, one more question. Are your simmed quarters at 5 mins or 7? thanks again.

About to be rude in 3....2....1...

I suggest you read through the thread before you ask for you help. Often times you will find the answer that you need from someone else's post. Hint hint.

Simmed at 5. We gamecast our league games using 8 minutes. Gives us time to run our mouths and drink a couple soda pops.
