ok, thanks for this. I'll have to make some adjustments to my processing file then. I'll see if I can do it tomorrow. I ran it with the 26 team numbering, so I'll need to rerun it. I should also make a post on the qb's since Johnny U is a 5 in the files... If you strictly follow the percentages there are only 4 9 rated qb's in history. I think people could guess 2, then 1 they would be like ok, and the 4th would be a surprise.

21_4_14 is 1960 (Dallas joins)
22_4_14 is 1961-1962 (Minnesota joins) 22_4_15 is 1963-1965 (Titans and Texans become Jets and Chiefs) 24_4_14 is 1966 (Atlanta and Miami join) 25_4_14 is 1967 (New Orleans joins) 26_4_14 is 1968-1969 (Cincinnati joins) If it makes it easier for you, feel free to tell me what numbers you want each team to have instead. And 4 9s sounds right, that's supposed to be "generational" talent, right? We're talking 64 years, so if there's 4, that means an average generation is 16 years? That sounds like the career length of a typical really good QB, so I think that makes sense.Seeing a post on it would be awesome. Last edited by Passacaglia : 06-13-2024 at 08:03 PM. |

Ok, I've emailed them to you. We'll see if the zip file makes it.

I got it -- so far so good! I started a game as the 1960 Eagles, and the teams seem like they have the right QBs on them! I'll email you my league_info, default_teams, and schedule files.
You rock, nilodor! If you ever need anyone else to corroborate that you don't smell, I'm your guy! |

1969 looks good based on the QBs, too. I just realized that the QBs have their own file, and thus I haven't even looked at anyone who would be in the actual players files. But it's probably a pretty safe assumption that if you got it right for the QB file, then you got it right for the player file.

Whoops, the files I sent you are not geared to 1000. I'll fix those when I get a chance and send them again. I think setting it to 1000 makes sense since nothing is perfect here*, and users can set it to whatever they want.** * -- This feels like a no-win situation where something is going to look off. When I set the salary cap and salaries to be really high, they look weird considering the time period. But if I set the cap and salaries low, they look stupid compared to the financials around ticket prices and stadiums. ** -- Note to any users who makes these changes: The text files suggest keeping the same proportion between minimum salaries and salary cap that's originally in the files, and I've found that when it's not proportional, it does make the game funky. So, make sure if you're adjusting the cap, make the same adjustment to all the minimum salaries. |

Okay, I just sent you a revised league_info file that should be aligned to the salary cap you have. I also realized I forgot to send you the xxxx_info files, so I sent you those, too.

Hey nilodor, I think something is still up with contract lengths. I was looking at the 1966 file, and maybe four teams had 30+ players on contract for 1967, a few more had single digits, and a ton had zero. I can alter this myself again to make something that looks more reasonable, but I just thought I'd let you know.

Does Ben host there somewhere or something? I've put a few up on Dropbox (free version, so I'm not even positive people can DL it), but if Ben has something he does, maybe that's better. |

Ben does host them, you can access them through the FOF9 reference link. If you have them together and want to send it in that would be great! |

Are any of your schedules covering pre-merger or are you considering combing the AFL and NFL schedules?

The schedules I'm making are all pre-merger. There are some preseason games where AFL teams played NFL teams, after the merger was agreed on but before it happened (so like 1967-1969), but that's it. There's already a 26_6_14 schedule that has AFC and NFC teams play each other. I'm not sure where I got it, if it came with the game, or if it was from nilodor, but that's what you'd want to use if you're looking for a post-merger schedule -- you could probably use that for 1968 or 1969, since those have 26 teams. You could probably use it for even earlier years and be fine, but the further back you go, the more empty teams you have. Well also, I think team numbers might get screwed up, but I can walk you through that if there's something specific you're looking to do. |

Oh also, the last post on page 2 should help you with what number you need to choose for each team so the game knows how to put them in the right place.

Yeah, numbering will follow creation to ensure they are numbered correctly from season to season.

1961 coaches file is done. I took a detour to work on a schedule file for the dynasty I'm planning, which will have a weird mid-to-late 60s ish kind of set up. My plan is to do these until 1966, when my dynasty will start, and from there see how much interest there is in going out to 1976, since I have one for that year, and that means I probably already have most of the coaches inputted somewhere, and it's just about putting them in the right place. But if no one even wants it, I won't bother.

Ok, so I looked at the 66 file. In my master file for Baltimore there are 47 players, 35 of which play for Baltimore in 67. In the 66 players file there are 43 players none of which have a salary. I think I figured it out. When I wrote the contract code I wrote it for the 32 team league, i.e., the team number would only change if the player changed teams. For FOF9 the team numbers for the same team change when the league is a different size. Good catch, I'll fix it up and run the database again. I haven't had anytime to play with the files, so I really did only minimal QC, glad someone was paying attention! |

Ok, I've fixed it. I'll rerun the files now. This also affected the players years with team, which plays into the cohesion rating.

If you're interested, the above example now gives 33 of the 43 in the player file (excluding qb's) who have contracts beyond year 1.
