Rosters: How to make your team!

1. Pick your favorite team. You will be playing your franchise for 30 years so make it a team that matters to you! You must use team-specific playbooks(i.e. Steelers use Steelers). You may use that playbook to make up your own custom playbooks.

2. Now begin signing the worst (ovr.) players in every position. You should do this one position at a time. The best way is to sign players then cut the players on your team otherwise the game seems to push players off the FA list. If you have the worst player then keep him. One catch to this is you must sign or re-sign everyone to 7 year contracts. I suggest that you only sign the minimum # of players necessary. Now the only way to get off team is when contract expires or career injury/retirement/CPU proposed trades. All players that you draft must be signed to 7 years as well. You may replace players due to injuries but, it has to be worst(ovr.)player available in that position. The replacement can only be signed for 1 year and is to be released when player is recovered. You cannot cut anyone to make room on roster for draft picks. Draft only what you need or want. If roster is completely full then you miss the draft that year! You may draft the best players you can get! You may also sign from FA pool to fill roster holes at the end of the season. Same "rules" apply(i.e. worst (ovr) player)

3. You may not trade for players or draft picks. Only CPU proposed trades are allowed. You may create players but, you can not sign until they have been in league 7 years.

4. These "rules" apply until all first year players are gone. After that feel free to do your GM responsibilities however your heart desires.

5. Created plays may only be used when down by 14 points. If down by less then 14 you must use your regular playbook. This "rule" applies until you retire.

6. Your on the honor system! Let's keep it real!
