EA Sports has clarified the new CBA rules for Madden NFL 12 will not make it in this year. They also noted that updated rosters with all free agent moves will be available at launch.

Quote:


	Due to the new CBA being implemented so late in our development cycle, we were unable to include the new CBA rules in Madden NFL 12. Others have been asking if we would be able to patch the new CBA rules in after launch... Due to the complex nature of the new rules and the current structure of in-game data and AI, we're not able to patch in the new CBA rules. For those of you asking, there will be a full downloadable roster update at launch that will reflect all the various free agency changes.

It'd be kinda silly to expect EA to be able to implement the CBA rule changes this late in the process. The confirmation of a opening-day roster update, though expected at this point, is reassuring, however.

I'm pretty sure everyone expected a roster update on launch and it is very much appreciated.

What does this mean for a reasonable salary cap?

They should have pushed the release date back further so they could implement the new CBA rules.

Nope....Most who buy Madden can care less about the new CBA rules.

You have to remember that us sim heads are a small pot in the Madden gorilla.

The date was pushed back already and it will not be done and should not be done at this point.

Season starts a week after the game comes out. When have you heard a game come out after the year starts.

what about online franchise rosters??? these are always a few weeks behind and only updated like 2 times a year. Or is online franchise getting the shaft again due to "other circumstances" FIND OUT for us.

Shirley, you're not serious?

That might be the silliest suggestion I've ever heard.
