i HATE playing the colts. season 2, week 6. i win 49-45, with 200 rushing and 400 passing. before this week ive allowed 700-800 passing yards in 4 games. manning threw for 580 yards, and 6 TDs. Harrison and Wayne each had 3 TDs, Wayne 200 yards Harrison 250.

I cut the players from the roster that I felt would likely never play for the team again, including Buck (replaced with Gordon), Ritchie (created Parry and replaced), Jamaal Jackson (moved Darilek to C), Steve Sciullo (created Clarke and replaced), Simon, Douglas (replaced with Juqua Thomas), and JR Reed.  I also added Jason Short as the primary backup Dhani's spot and made another few "realistic" moves (including reducing/increasing key player attributes).

Players like Pinkston and McDougle, I'm just burying on the depth chart for 2005.

I also went through all the formations/subs and tried to better reflect the Eagles' tendency to rotate, especially on the defensive line.  Patterson plays in passing formations... etc.

How did you do this? By modifying the roster before you started the franchise? Using fantasy draft? I read in a previous post you added McCants, etc, but they are never cut by the teams they play for, and I don't want to trade to do it.

On another note, I reduced CBucks injury grade to 1, and I haven't gotten him seriously injured once in 17 games. He misses like every other down with dumb shtein when I am trying to wear him out. What the farg? I think after the Super Bowl I'll buy his bitching ass a motorcycle and tell him to hang out with Kevin Winslow Jr.

Yes, you have to mess with the rosters BEFORE you go into franchise mode.
