UPDATE: September 23, 2014
NFL 1970 Mod: to do list
1) Roster = v1.0 complete! (superben21)
2) Portraits = Goal: create portraits for every player. Need: at least portraits for starters (KO'BBF)
3). Uniforms = 1970 throwback uniforms and 1976 throwbacks for Seattle and Tampa Bay (NICK & Leeman).
4) Soloplayers = create complete set for 1970.
5) Playbooks = playbooks need to be set for each team.
6) Coaches = coaches need to be created (attributes, skin tone, etc) along with coaching philosophies.
7) Intro = I would like a new intro specifically for 1970 which does not include EA (open to ideas).
8) In game = menus, logos, backgrounds, etc. need to have throwback feel.
9) TV Overlays = create 1970's tv overlays for CBS, NBC, and ABC (Rixster67r).

Original Post: February 9, 2012
I've been working on creating a 1970 roster and mod for the community. NickyJ has been so kind as to help the project by creating portraits. And some other assistance has been offered as well.
My question for everyone what philosophy should I use for ratings? I know LOBBS and other have come up with different systems that utilize 40 times and the like but I don't believe I have that information available for 1970. I'm planning on a system based totally off of statistics but was wondering if there were other options.
A second question would be if anyone knows of a reliable source for height/weight of these players and what #'s they wore.
I love working on projects for the community and I think this project could be a great addition! Once I finish it the hope is to start making DC's for every year following but that's still a long, long, LONG way off
Again thanks to all who make Football Idiot a part of my day every day!!!

Re: 1970 Mod
Great idea! Profootballreference.com should give you everything you need. Here is the link to the 1970 season: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/1970/
You can click on the individual teams to see their rosters, and then the Starters & Roster tab to view numbers, height and weight.

Re: 1970 Mod
I offered you my 1970 Cowboys. You can certainly make use of them. Change the ratings all you like. Just try not to change anything else. I made sure everything was right except for ratings, which no one agrees on.

I have kept everything you supplied except ratings. I'm looking at using LOBBS idea for speed, strength and the like while making other things based off of formulas I've been creating. One question though. How did you decide to make the player's contracts?

I didn't. I normally don't mess with contracts, plus I had no idea if there ever was a way to find NFL contracts from back then. You might want to look at Rick's 1970 roster for contracts.
