This is also updated. There is still much to do. One spreadsheet in particular that I didn't trace down after my initial pass-through of the forum content, Buck, was your Pro Bowl Spreadsheet. Care to link me so I can throw that up top, as well?

Also, it goes without saying: if there is anything that I've missed that you're per-point positive of its existence and can link me to it, please do so below!

32-team pro bowl editor spreadsheet. allows editing of pro bowl: rosters, colors, and default playbooks.

[buck]

here's another handy spreadsheet I use. It SETs the COM juice levels.

I am looking for a document that probably only bruddog and/or jstout has: I used to have a hardcopy of it, but have since lost it in a move - I cannot find the docs anywhere.

-> it lists all the locations of "tables" - like where INT, PA, etc is. it's well-organized in a "TOOL SUPREME" style list. 0x, etc. but it also lists SIM tables! - where you can adjust actual yardage numbers for passing/rushing SIM (this is what I'm looking for, specifically). it also includes some locations of graphics. a fairly comprehensive listing that should be WIDE OPEN on this site somewhere....but it's not or I'm blind.

I really don't think it's on the site (I've looked in the past) - someone might have to pull it up from their archives for me.

ps - all these links need to be updated to tecmobowl.org

Done

[buck]

ok, you guys can chill with the bumps, thanks. I dug around through some unopened boxes and I found the document and info.

I will scan it and post it tomorrow morning (scanner here at home is pain in the biscuit).

I'm sure someone will recognize it when they see it - but I can't believe it's not linked anywhere on this site. anyways, see you tomorrow.

ps- part of the info I've been looking for this whole time is in this pic - specifically the sim passing/receiving modifiers and sim rushing/punt returning modifiers

[buck]

here is a crappy (sorry don't have much time) pdf scan of the stuff I was looking for. someone has this on disk - need to get it posted.

I made a correction in the previous post.

[buck]

My funny is in BAD. Hopefully goes up next quarter.

Who would have guessed....the sim modifiers were located in front of the sim stats locations

I meant it as a joke. For some reason the:) didn't emoticon from my phone as a smiley face. I saw you also said to stop bumpin you, so i was just being funny. Since everyone and there mother were bumping the wrong things. Later.

PS, thanks for posting, i may look for these values in TSB 3 this weekend, since my football season is over(Damn Scandrick.....here you go Cruz. I'll make sure you can catch Eli's wild fling.......)

Buck, I 100% created that file as I recognize the format and info (was originally made to store the locations for the 50 yard field). Unfortunately, the file is on my old computer which doesn't load and as of the moment I still haven't tried to fix it. Best bet would be to search through my posts but I couldn't find it in a quick scan of them (or always just retype it from your pdf to be posted for others usage).

well, I did get a good chuckle out of it when I first read it. followed by a head shake, followed by a "dayaamm, for reals?"
