So I've decided to begin working on an accurate player database for this game. From what I can tell, and correct me if I'm wrong, there is no way to save the roster in such a way that you can load it when starting a new game. That being the case, here is how you will have to use this and all subsequent roster releases changes are made to the game:

1) Download file and place it in your Football Mogul 2007 folder, which is usually located at "C:\Program Files\Sports Mogul\Football 2007."
2) Run Football Mogul 2007.
3) Select "Resume a Previously Saved Game."
4) Choose my file - named 'Roster' unless you've renamed it - from the folder.

If you want to use this file for play, simply follow the steps above and then take these additional steps:

5) Select Tools > League Editor from the menu bar.
6) Click the 'All CPU' button and click 'Yes'.
7) Choose the team you wish to play as from the drop-down menu near the top-left corner.
8) Type your name in the space provided near the bottom left corner and click 'Done'.
9) Go to Tools > Options and uncheck the Commissioner Mode box.
10) Click 'OK' and you're ready to play.

Take a look at what I've done. At this point, I have only fixed the Arizona Cardinals. If you feel like it, go to www.azcardinals.com and compare. It should be dead on, including the depth chart. The only player I've left off is their long snapper, Nathan Hodel, simply because the game doesn't use the position and he'd basically just be taking up space. I've fixed player named, edited ratings to ensure correct starting lineups and attempt to make the game more realistic (though I've yet to simulate and see what stats I get).

Remember, this is just a preview and any comments or suggestions are welcome. If you'd be interested in an entire roster like this then let me know.

I was doing this on my own as well. The only question is how you did the Offensive Lineman?

Offensive lineman are rated by their blocking abilities (run and pass), so did you leave them alone or change the values? If you changed it, how did you come up with the numbers?

I also will be really interested in an up to date roster. I was gonna just edit the roster for a football mogul league im gonna be starting here soon, but this would be so much better.

Hey guys, I should have written this before now so sorry for the delay. I've decided not to do the roster, for a few reasons. First of all, the game really just isn't that good at this point and not very enjoyable to be personally. (I'm a die-hard football fan, even more than baseball, but I'm still playing Baseball Mogul right now.) Also, there are problems with the game that make roster-editing difficult. Finally, since the season is winding down, rosters will change soon and I just don't think it's worth the trouble. If the game steadily improves and is released at a better time, like before the NFL season, I'll definitely do a roster for it and consistently update it throughout the season. Sorry to disappoint you guys. At this point with all things considered, updating the game's roster just isn't worth the hours it would take.

Chris/all,
Any idea why editing the csv files isn't recognized? I also edited Ari & Atl but in the csv file, but even in a new game of fb mogul, it does not use the new rosters. Any ideas other than the suggestion in the first note above?
Thanks,
AC

I have no idea. At this point, we just have to edit the roster in-game, then save it, re-load it when we want to play and use Commissioner Mode to select our team.

I just got the game, and want to use an updated roster. The only problem I'm having is how do I choose the team I want to play with. It seems if I use this file to resume the game, it’s in the commissioner mode and I have to control all the teams not just the one I want. Thanks for your help.
