Hi, Not sure if its something i'am doing wrong or what but when I load the game and leave the default rosters untouched the player ratings are all over the place, not accurate and change with each new save. I have tried loading the 2020roster.json file at the start of a game but those player ratings don't seem to be right either. I had a look at the json file included and when i load it into the game the ratings don't seem to match. Hoping somebody can help me out here because its making the game unplayable for me at the minute.

Cheers

The game randomizes the ratings on start and does some adjusting to bring them in line with expected cpu generated player ratings. If you use a custom import file it should use those ratings exactly like you have them set in the file.

That is what I thought, however when i choose the 2020rosters json file and import that the ratings are different to what is contained in the file. lots of 100's and fullbacks are rated really high for some strange reason. Is there a reason you know of that might cause this issue?

So if you mod that file you need to leave it in the folder where you got it and let the game pick it up as the default rosters so it does it's auto adjust. If you manually import it/use it as a custom file then you'll need to make adjustments to the ratings yourself.

An example is lowering FB run blocking/pass blocking by 70-80% since in the 2020rosters file they came in too high.

I would check the mod forum and see if people have already created more up to date files that are readily importable to save you the trouble.

I'm confused. The 2020roster file already in the game has the player ratings I would expect and I know this because I converted the file to a csv file to alter the ratings but I didn't need to. However when I load that 2020roster file into the game the ratings are not the same? is there something I'm doing wrong?

When you use "default rosters" in the game, it pulls the ratings from the 2020Roster.json file and uses those, but then adjusts them to be in-line with expected ratings of CPU players.

When you use the 2020Rosters.json as a "Custom Import" it will use the ratings as-is, but then won't auto-adjust and the players will come in too highly rated.
