Classic Teams - Capa

[capa]

I had a few postings in other threads here but thought I would start a topic on its own.

I am working on a best teams roster. I only have some of the teams done so far but it is in the vault under the PSN name capa2000 and the file is called CAPACLASSICS. I am working on more teams but it is very slow going.

I am old school to the max. I am 58 years old and watched football in the 60's and 70's which will explain why many of the teams I am creating come from that era. Apologies on the fact that not many teams from the 1990's and 2000's...but I sort of like to relive my youth when playing/watching these teams!

Completed so far:
1972 Dolphins
1994 49ers
1968 Jets
1976 Raiders
1975 Steelers
1977 Cowboys
1986 Giants
1966 Packers
1998 Broncos
1969 Chiefs
1967 Rams
1985 Bears
1969 Vikings
1982 Redskins
1967 Colts
1979 Oilers
1964 Browns
1980 Chargers
1981 Bengals
1991 Lions
1991 Bills
1979 Saints
2007 Patriots
1975 Cards
2000 Ravens
1980 Eagles
1980 Falcons
1979 Bucs
1987 Seahawks

I did not do Panthers, Texans, or Jaguars.

If you DL the file and see any blatant errors let me know. You can post here. I had to make some concessions with some of the old teams as they did not have enough players to fit EA's requirements. So you may see a few players I made up to round out roster requirements. They will have the last name of Summers, Winters, Falls, Springs and will be rated very low so they should not get playing time. I also do not have them in the depth charts.

This is Amazing to see Cap, i will download these for sure. I'm having some really bad issues concerning the rating system in this game, if i had a chart as to how madden is set up with the abbreviations and player stats to match those abbreviations, i could get going alot smoother on my set. I tried a couple transfer style of madden 08 rosters, but im getting some very lower numbers for the players out come, for example. when i rated Roger Craig and after editing him they way the rating system was used for those sets, he ended up being a 68 ovr. So I'm glad we have no cap limit and can create full team rosters, but im just stumped as how to rate, if i do it off memory then it will prolly be over powered, and the way i wanted the ratings to be were that even though strong teams were strong, they still had the ability to have some upset games or close games etc. that's what im striving for. yall know i give yall major props for the work you've done in the past, if you guys can either pm or shed some serious info on how ratings really should be done, im def willing to listen!

We should try to start a database for replacement players for the Classic Rosters. That's a major setback to doing this. The time it takes to find a proper height/weight match severely cripples the roster creation process.

I have to admit...here is how I approached the editing/creation process. I used the same method asantsead did for Alltime15 and in fact used his roster file as a base with his permission since it had so many of the players already done.

However, you will not see exact height and weight...or college. I tried to match position, skin color, and general "look" and then I edited equipment and ratings for that player. I would never come close to finishing if I had to create all players from scratch. It is a concession I made with the roster set as I wanted to cut down on the overall process.

So, my set may not be for all people. In fact, it already got one dislike in the vault even though I have only done 4 teams! LOL. Oh well, you can't please everyone.

If anyone feels like assisting let me know. However, you should have a keen awareness of the classic teams at least from an appearance point of view, I can update ratings and even equipment. It's going to take a while but at some point they will all be done!
