np. and i was going to give you this just incase your roster didnt work. it includes HQ uniforms that nick & lobbs made. includes easy instructions.

All right. I downloaded Madden Amp. Now, I have a mac and use a program called CrossOver in order to run basic windows functions. It works fine with NZAs editor, but when I load Madden Amp I get an error telling me that it's "not implemented." I have the option to continue to use it regardless, but would that have the same effect?

- before placing in madden documents folder, right click roster file > properties > "unblock".. and then open roster and then "close" with maddenamp.

- Use NZA 1.3 because it has less errors, opposed to NZA 2.0



I just noticed while configuring my many .ini files, while changing them to a read-only that they were "blocked" because they are from another pc. So I unblocked them. I don't see a difference, but I am sure there is.

-This should probably be asked in a separate topic-

I've had this issue before, and at that point usually it indicates your franchise is shot.
However, you can add coaches to a team using the NZA editor and going to coaches. You can assign a coach to any team.
Good luck

OK, here's something for you to ponder...

I'm in the off-season of my franchise and I'm at the point where the draft is coming up. I tried to play the college all-star game but every time I do the game freezes and I have to shut down Madden and try again. The only adjustments I made to the franchise were to the coaches (through the data base of course) to reflect the current coaches in the league, the 2013 draft class made by Colt, and moving some rookies from the practise squad to the free agent roster. As far as the number of free agents go there are around 600 at the moment, but it's the off season and we haven't gotten to the 2nd free agent signing yet.

My question is, is it normal for the all-star game to be quirky like this or is it a sign of trouble to come? Every other point of the off season has worked just fine so far.

UPDATE: I was able to play the game finally. I went back into my franchise and did the following:
- set management for all coaches (except for my team - Raiders) to CPU.
- Went into nza's editor and set only the Raiders to user control.
- no texmod.
- 're-boot computer.

After all of that I was finally able to play the whole game without it locking up. I was able to take a good look at some seniors in action and can now scout and draft accordingly.

I'm beginning my last step on my roster, and can't really seem to figure out how to change the salaries for each player. I have changed them and literally see no difference. It's one of the final touches I wanted to put on my roster, but haven't had the time to sit down and figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.

What is the minimum number of free agents a roster should have.
