My favorite football game is Madden 95, and my favorite year of watching football as a fan was 2003 so I always wanted to create an updated ROM. Do you know of any good resources? How do you figure out what the data format is for stats, just trial and error?

asking a Tecmo guy about Madden, that's like asking a vegetarian how to cook a great cheeseburger :)

all I can say is that the Tecmo community has been chipping away for 30 years at learning all the internals without any source code or reference, gaining knowledge little by little, and fortunately, sharing it so people can build upon other people's discoveries. Don't know if a similar resource exists for Madden.

There is a madden modding community at footballidiot.com/forum

Might be the place to start. Madden 08 is the biggest target as far as I know, but someone there might be able to point you in the right direction.
