So is it possible for me to open the original roster from 2k5 in Finns editor and see which face was associated with Winslow and jot it down, then open up your latest roster and change it to that one? I ask because I sure don't expect you to do this since it so trivial to most.

Thanks bro!

^first post in this thread indicates that IR was accurate through 9/13, two days before Holiday's designation. since then i have been swamped with other aspects of the file

Long snappers was addressed in the other thread, i just forgot to mention it here-- daflyboys basically got it... also, i did put many of them in free agency for anyone who wanted to sign them
^another reason is that when guys like Harrison & Seymour are inactive in real life they don't count against the roster... but in the game I would have to release them or they count. for that reason, i leave LS off as another "minor injury" slot

i'm going to fix it-- nothing is too trivial since im making many changes anyway

it's not the "face number" in the editor that controls whether Winslow's head shows up in-game. the cyberface is instead "directly tied to his picture" (which is coincidently blank)... ie all you need to do is set Winslow's picture to "Winslow, Kellen" in the editor & ignore the face & skin attributes.

you can also set this picture for any new player whose face/head looks more like Kellen Winslow than any generic face (a luxury of the blank pic). does that make sense?


Thanks for all the corrections & kind words from everyone

i just noticed this comment... regarding the second part, those guys like Berman & Steve-O are in free agency only because you unlocked them with your own profile. The rest of us don't have that problem unless we did the same.

If you want to do so, I think you could overwrite them yourself by searching in the editor (with no parameters entered). I really don't know however b/c all their attributes are shown as "zero" ... so it might not be a safe decision. not sure what to tell you

the low rated remaining default players in free agency are there for a reason... to give me more slots to add players like Chris Francies every week w/o "double overwriting" any names.

Puja,

I found the depth chart problem for the teams that use both. You will be able to set a team to 3-4,4-3, or both in the next release. Unfortunately, you will have to manually correct the teams that use both.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
