Any particular sites you use for the ratings?

I wanted to see if anyone knew of any downloadable spreadsheets out there for all teams? For the members that update the player ratings each year, do you use anything as a baseline or is it all done by research? Reason I'm asking is I wrote a Madden Editor a few years back and have been making some changes to the editor to make it a bit easier to update the ROM's. I added an Import from Excel feature which I'm finishing up on being able to import every team in one shot and save it to the ROM. What I've been using to do this are the spreadsheets from https://maddenratings.weebly.com/madden-nfl-24.html At least this is a starting point but rosters/player ratings there were from August 2023 and not updated since then. Years ago EA's website let you download the Roster/Player Ratings but took that away back in 2016 or so if I remember correctly. Starting by editing the Madden ROM by hand, to creating the editor, to adding importing of spreadsheets by team to now being able to import all 32 teams in one shot makes keeping Madden Rosters up to date much easier as I would like to start putting out a new Madden ROM each season like the great bunch of members do on here for Tecmo Bowl. Just trying to figure out a way to get the most up to date ratings into a spreadsheet so I can import them into my Editor. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I know this is a very old thread but someone asked me to include College Football USA 97 in the Madden Editor I created a few years ago. There were a good amount of changes I needed to make for the Madden Editor to work so I just created a standalone editor for College 97, I can add College 96 and was looking to add Bill Walsh 95 as well.

Where did you get the roster info from? Did you find any spreadsheets to use as a baseline?

This is a great help......I wrote a roster editor for older Genesis Madden games (91-94) and wanted to start getting into hacking Tecmo.....

Thank you Dave.....I see where the player data starts (3010) but is there any documentation on what positions in the hex file are which? I would assume the first part of the player data is the Bills but looking for Reich's number 14 and don't see anything. Thanks.....

I was wondering if anyone would be able to tell me how someone was able to figure out which player attributes were in what positions in the hex file? Like in what order was RS, RP, MS? And how someone knew that the ratings were RS, RP and MS to begin with? I would think that only the original programmers would have this info, is there any documentation on this? I'm assuming someone tried to match up the Player Data screen in the game with attributes in the hex file? Is all the player data in one spot in the ROM or is it scattered about by team? I'm just very curious to see how someone figured all this out.....love the site and the updated ROM....
