Just to let everyone know, i have put this rom on hold indefinately since i have finally got an action replay and can work on the greatest teams roster with nfl 2k5. tecmo bowl was my first football love in video games but the mechanics and player movement in 2k5 is just great, and you can finally fix alot of things wrong with it using finn's editor. anyway, it should be good and i might continue this some time down the road but will probably come up with a new system of rating guys since the current one is too time consuming. if i just go by opinion then i could have this rom out alot quicker, well see. but for now ill be working on espn nfl 2k5.

i did a test to see if i could get through an entire season by simulating it. it seems to freeze every now and then and always on a tampa bay game, why i dont know. if you close the program, start it back up, go to the season mode, change all to com then change all back to skp, then auto skip to week 17 or whatever u like then that seems to fix it. its possible that it has something to do with my unorthodox assigning of the kick and punt returners, since i have derrick brooks returning kicks for tampa bay. i think i will re-assign them based on who really was their returner for that season since that is cheating a bit, but from the stand point of the game it does make sense to put your best stud back returning. but it did complete a full season eventually. only half of the teams are completed, the other half are named but the attributes are all default. i think the sim is pretty good though and does go by how good you make the players unlike regular tsb which has team sim categories that are factored instead of individual players. anyway it was the 72 dolphins and the 64 browns in the afc championship which are 2 completed teams and the 72 dolphins won the super bowl. this is just in simulate, for a more accurate result com vs com would be better, but it kind of shows that my assigned ratings do matter in the game.

ok i figured this out. it is what i suspected. it has to do with my custom schedule. since i changed the schedule you will not be able to do the trade schedule option which allows you to go do the offseason things which are trading and free agency obviously. well since i changed the schedule it is giving me a black screen at the free agency screen. the actual game is not frozen but u can not progress pass this. the way around this is to go to schedule and put in official season schedule instead. so the only downside is you wont be able to do trades or free agents which doesnt matter since all of the teams are exactly the way they should be for their respective year. so you just have to make sure before you start a season to set the schedule to official season mode first, which will reset the season. and then go put the team controls the way you want them. so glad i figured this out because i put alot of work into this and really didnt want to have to transport every guy to another rom.

Can you summarize what has all been customized? Off the top of my head if it works when not in season mode perhaps the schedule is the issue. You could try transferring the players to an original rom and then adding changes from there while testing each change. That will nail down what the issue is. i was thinking maybe the schedule also or something that is in season mode but not in preseason mode. an interesting thing is that when i go to superstar creator it does the same thing, just a black screen. so i thought maybe something with the free agents since i think that it is related to the superstar creator but im not sure. everything that i have tried hasnt worked. i will try what u advised and keep you posted.

ok thanks. if u can see why it wont play in the season mode let me know. you will need the tsb 3 editor to do any trouble shooting.

i guess since nobody wants to help me with this i will not be able to play in season mode in this rom since it will not work.

i do realize that this is not perfect. my main goal with this is to have every team with the best plays available so that way every team will have the same chances of winning, which will be based more on the talent that the team has instead of if they happened to have some good plays by default. so maybe these arent the absolute best plays, but that could be a matter of opinion. the bottom line is every team has the same plays to pick from so com vs com games will be alot more fair this way. as far as the hail mary play for some reason the game would not let me keep it in their play book so i did have to change that to another play.

I am attaching my incomplete rom. it is half way complete. if anyone can figure out why the game will not play in season game please let me know. i have troubleshot it but i can not figure out what is wrong. obviously i did something to the rom that the emulator doesnt like and now when i hit game start in season game i just get a black screen and it wont go any further. it plays fine in preseason mode but not season game. since i wanted to conduct a season using this rom, it would kind of defeat the purpose of making this if that doesnt even work. any help and feedback would be much appreciated.

i am halfway done with this rom, however i have encountered an error with the rom. when i go to season game in the rom and then hit game start the game just goes black and nothing happens. i have tried changing the team schedule name back to their full name instead of an abbreviation but that didnt work. anyone know what might be wrong?

i took some time off from working on this but i have been back working on the player attributes here lately. i just finished the 72 dolphins and im almost half way done with this. periodically i will watch a com vs com game just to see how the players look that i just rated. im anxious to see this 72 miami team in action. i think ill put them up against the 69 chiefs since they are the closest in year to this team that i have completed. i wish i could let yall see what the game looks like but the last time i recorded a game and posted it, the file size was really big and nobody wants to really sit through an entire game. so ill have to find a way to cut it up and do hi lights or something. Miami won 33-13

im not even sure how to play this online. me and my bro tried but the lag was way slow. so we have resorted to just sending the save file back and forth.

i have finished testing this and i am now working on putting these plays into every teams playbook. ill upload the rom once im done with that. the only difference with the rom will be that i have named the players that were not previously named including the all time greats, and every team will have these pass plays in their playbook in order to make passing more realistic in coach/com mode. this is what the playbook will look like.

man it would be awesome to have a 32 team rom. or even if i knew how to change the team helmets and uniforms.

thats cool if u can do that but i am finding that the play selection does have alot to do with the success rate of passes. i think if i implement the best plays for every team u would really see a big difference in the cpu passing game. let me know if u finish implementing that.

i am currently working on pass plays in the right and b slot.
