1. INTRODUCTION

This is for the US Release of ID 2003. This is my first FAQ.
I hope everyone finds it helpful. Please be sure to read the
important notes below before starting, as it will make this a lot
easier for you. This is a very confusing process.

-----
2. IMPORTANT NOTES BEFORE YOU GET STARTED

- *IMPORTANT*: from this point forward I will be doing all updates
as their own individual section of this guide. This will make it a lot
easier for anyone who's been using it to continue updating thier
game and not have to reset their rosters all the time. So If this is
a return update for you just skip right ahead to the continuing update
section.

- To update your rosters simply make all the transactions listed
in sections 3, 4 and 5. If you do this your ID 2003 Rosters will
be 100% up to date as of Thursday December 5th, 2002.

- You should RESET ROSTERS before starting. This option can be
found in the menu.

- While making these transactions you will run into problems with
max/min player limits on teams. What you will need to do is skip
those (be sure to note that you skipped them) and come back to them
later.

- Any teams not listed in the following sections were left out
because they didn't have any transactions necessary in that category.

-----

6. CREATED PLAYER GUIDE

This is really all the I can do for now, but in the future
I may have a little more to help you create these players.
This is just the basic stuff. If anyone wants to help I
gladly accept your help and put together whatever info you
want to help with for this guide. Of course I will give
you co-writing credit too... EMAIL ME!

Most of the description is vague, but it really need not be
to specific as you really don't see close ups on too many
players and really, most of these guys you won't be playing
with too often. I'm hoping to soon add at least player type
i.e. shooter, defender etc...
