Can we get a current gen patch for IR issues?

OK, obviously the focus is on giving all the love to 360 for fatigue but there is a glitch that has been on current gen for many years that drives me nuts. It is injured reserve not freeing up a roster spot.

This gets very annoying late in a season when injuries occur and you cannot fill the spots. I try to leave a couple spots open (i.e. only use 53 roster spots) but once I get a slew of injuries I get stuck. As you go into the playoffs, even a 2 or 3 week injury is season ending. And not being able to release those injured players or put them on IR to free up a spot really hurts teams.

So I heard patches can be used by XBOX (cuurent gen) since it also has a hard drive and some games have had patches in the past such as DOA. Can we PLEASE get a patch that fixes IR or a patch that at lease allows us to release injured players (sort of like an injury settlement).

This is not asking for anything new like some have asked for in patches. I just think this is something that has never been fixed and at this point, it would be a nice reward for all those who have bought current gen Madden for all these years. Show the current gen crowd we matter too!

I doubt this will be fixed. From what I hear, it is an issue on the 360 as well. It seems as though it is something that EA, for whatever reason, refuses to address with each new incarnation of Madden.

it's not a glitch, really.......

The rosters simply aren't programmed to allow a squad to carry more than 55 players on it. That is what would have to be done in order for IR to work properly.

it has been mentioned by EA in interviews I believe, so they know it's there. They listed it along with things like franchise tags and other stuff they don't have in there.

Then how about just letting us drop injured players to FA (which could be a de facto IR)? Anyone know why they still block those drops? That would seem like a solution if they can't fix roster structure.
