Acknowledgments 9. Conclusion ----- 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. ----- 3.
