I attached the actual 2012 preseason schedule and will do the regular season as well unless someone has already created it?????

These schedules will be much better moving forward than the game generated schedules......

If anyone has any problems let me know

2 things, 1) for future schedules how'd you determine the 2 conference opponents for each team that are normally determined by division standings? For example, next season (2018) the Vikings are scheduled to play the entire NFC West, but they also play Philadelphia (from the NFC East) and New Orleans (from the NFC South) which are determined by the fact that they all finished 1st in their respective divisions. The Lions would then play Dallas and Carolina because they all finished 2nd. Did you just choose 2 random opponents for each team to fill in those 2 games, which is fine because like you said, anything is better than the Madden generated schedule lol. I was just curious.

And 2) the NFL schedule actually repeats every 25th year, if you include the home/road part of the equation. After every 9th year your non conference opponents repeat, but your conference opponents repeat every 7th year. As a result both conferences only align every 25th year.

I'll use the Vikings as an example, and just the 1st team from each NFC/AFC division that they'd be scheduled to play that year.

Code: Select all

 1. 2018  at ARZ   at BUF
 2. 2019  at DAL      DEN
 3. 2020     ATL   at HOU
 4. 2021     ARZ   at BAL
 5. 2022     DAL      BUF
 6. 2023  at ATL   at DEN
 7. 2024  at ARZ      HOU
 8. 2025  at DAL      BAL
 9. 2026     ATL   at BUF <--- AFC opponents begin to repeat but NFC opponents are different
10. 2027     ARZ      DEN
11. 2028     DAL   at HOU
12. 2029  at ATL   at BAL
13. 2030  at ARZ      BUF <--- both repeat but home/away is different
14. 2031  at DAL   at DEN
15. 2032     ATL      HOU
16. 2033     ARZ      BAL
17. 2034     DAL   at BUF <--- AFC repeats again, but NFC still different
18. 2035  at ATL      DEN
19. 2036  at ARZ   at HOU
20. 2037  at DAL   at BAL
21. 2038     ATL      BUF
22. 2039     ARZ   at DEN
23. 2040     DAL      HOU
24. 2041  at ATL      BAL
25. 2042  at ARZ   at BUF <--- both finally repeat at the same time including home/away, matching the 1st year

So 24 years of unique schedules with the current NFL scheduling format.

I follow the steps but unfortunately it doesnt work for me.
the schedule is all messed up when I enter the franchise in game.

Does anyone know why?

It also doesnt show any changes to the schedule (in the NZA Editor) when I import the schedule to NZA Editor. It just stays the same...
