If you
purchased or downloaded the workbook during the last few
years, that version will work this year too. All you
have to do is...
1)
Change the year to 2023 in the
User_Options worksheet tab, in the row that ask you
which year you wish to download scores from.
2)
Replace the the prior
NFL Schedule with this year's schedule in the
NFL_Schedule worksheet tab. Replace each of the
teams using the same 2 or 3 letter abbreviation.
That's it! If the program worked for you last year, it
will work again. There is nothing else specifically
written for the past few years that won't work in 2023.
UPDATE: The NFL changed their website.
Downloading the scores of the games from the NFL website
won't work. The program was getting the scores from
this page:
http://www.nfl.com/liveupdate/scorestrip/ss.xml
which no longer seems to
exist. Also, note older versions were were looking
for, of course, the word "Redskins" online. Since
their mascot name change, the online sites no longer refer
to Washington's mascot name as Redskins. It's now
"Commanders" and was "Football Team for two
years." So their games won't download
correctly... you will have to set that result manually.
Also, you might have to set the score of the Las
Vegas Raiders games manually too. The workbook might
not recognize the "Las Vegas" Raiders properly and if so, it
also won't find that game. Last year, of course, the Las
Vegas Raiders were known as the Oakland Raiders. Last
year I was aware of the upcoming change and I attempted to
code for it... but of course I couldn't test it.
Again, you can always toggle the chosen winner yourself, and
edit the score yourself in the NFL_Schedule tab.
After doing that, simply reload those picks.
Finally, you will also
have to create your own weekly pick sheet forms. The
two I've created for 2023 (one with just one tab and the
other with 18 weekly different tabs) I'm only offering to
those who purchase the program. But creating this pick
sheet form is also very easy and you can use the pick sheet
form I sent last year as your template... just replace the
teams with the 2023 schedule. |
