INSTALL START TODAY FILE: Put the STARTTODAY franchise file wherever your Madden 20 save files are located. By default, this should be C:\Users\Owner\Documents\Madden NFL 20\settings
- All wins/losses forced (And the Cardinals/Lions week 1 tie)
- The draft order has been edited to accurately mirror real life
- Draft picks from trades are on all of the correct teams for 2020/2021
- The draft class is a real life 2020 class with accurate ratings
- The Raiders are relocating to Vegas in this franchise, as they are in real life

SETTINGS
- ALL Auto subs for the user team and CPU teams are all the same to promote realistic substitutions
- All XP Sliders are set to 0 by default (USE TDAWG'S PROGRESSION TOOL, IT'S WAY BETTER THAN XP. Additionally, if you ARE going to be using Tdawg's tool, when you run the progressions in year 2 you HAVE to use the year 1 progression tabs in year 2, because the year 1 progression tab is what creates the potentials for all players in the franchise). A few players on each team will have an upgrade point because they were extremely close when the franchise started. This is expected and extremely minor
- All dev upgrades earned by players during the superbowl week have been REVERTED

*The following coaches have been added to their new teams

Sabo and tdawg, and the rest of the team. Thank you for this. And EA thanks you for this, because this stuff is the reason I bought Madden for the first time since Sega Genesis days.


Now excuse me while I go on a ten day bender and make all kinds of terrible draft and free agent decisions for the Lions, driving them further into mediocrity. I like my simulations to be as realistic a possible.

This is fantastic! I was just bemoaning the inability of having start today in offline franchises because I enjoy controlling all 32 teams in mine. I am really curious as to how you managed to edit the coaches in the coaching pool. That is a huge immersion boost for the offseason.

1. create coach
2. go to franchise editor turn off is created
3. retire coach
4. create owner
5. fire coach, rehire original coach
6. retire owner
7. go to team table in franchise editor, usually in 3900s
8. change blacklisted ids to -1 for owner u just retired

Thank you all for your hard work, effort and attention to detail!

This is amazing. I guess the next step is to manually enter the correct stats, if it’s possible and someone wants to take the time to do it. I’d probably do it over a couple months if I knew how.

But yeah, this is really great.
