Okay. I'll send you a mail when I get all my questions together in some orderly fashion.

But real quick... At first, I tried to just copy and past rosters from one rom to another. But I found I can't change the team name---though I can change colors and everything else. Is this something I have to do from scratch? For instance, when I take info from one rom that had the 07 Pats--then transferred it to another rom and replacing the 85 Patriots, it worked, but I can't change the team name from the 85 Patriots to the 07 Patriots...same thing happened when I tried to flip flop the 91 Oilers into the slot where the 09 Texans are---everything was able to change except for the team name. I just left that header alone (Team= Texans SimData= 0XXX#)

I'm trying to take the short cut and just edit, but I can't get the team names to change. That's all. It looks like I may have to do this from scratch, no?

Also, what does sim offense and sim defense mean? I see the values are from 1-15. 15 is great right? Here is what I am talking about...

The author didn't code team name changing in this editor and it's a pain to do it by hand because the rom uses a string table.

I use tsbm2000 for name changing and tsbtool for all other editing. With all that tsbtool offers (uniform matchup editing, schedules, sim values, etc)

sim values. That's a discussion for when I'm not typing on my phone. Simply put, it affects stats for skipped games within a season. A good rom is not complete without it. This is a science to get good sim values, and I'll point you to a nice, easy to read detailed guide when I can type with more than my thumbs.
