Maybe you can't in Madden, but in NCAA, 2K, and every other sports game they have the locker feature, which I know for a fact is available for silver.

so can I or can't I get rosters?

I couldn't in NBA Live 07,NHL 07 or 08 and based on the PS3 version I assume it's not possible in 09 either (had to start an online game),MLB 2K7,NBA 2K7 and none of the Maddens obviously. I could get them in NBA 2K8 and The Bigs so that's 2/12. I also couldn't upload any vids in NCAA 07 or use any of the ESPN features in Live 07.

Well, The Bigs never had roster updates. I can't tell you about games from 2 years ago, but every game this year I had no issues when using a silver account getting the rosters I needed.

I still don't see why people, who know Live is $50 a year for Gold, still complain about it. We're talking 4 bucks a month.

Yeah, I used to be one of the ones that bitched about having to pay for XBL, but really when you break it down it's not much and XBL is very reliable. I look at it like I'm investing a small amount in my games that I own and for games like APF that are more than a year old, I'm increasing their replay value by playing online, so the fee, I feel, pays for itself over time.

The Bigs did have roster updates. It's in one of the online options menus.

Star Wars Force Unleashed is on sale for $50,I hated the demo,I'd never play it,I can get a better or equal expirence out of something I already have but hey it's only $4 a month so I'll go out and buy it anyway. (And actually we're still getting ripped on that too here in Canada,XBL Gold is $60)

Well, I have Gold, and had The Bigs, never got a roster update. Don't know what to tell you.

It would be different if I heard you complaining about Star Wars, but I don't see that. I see you complaining about XBL Gold all the time. That does suck that you are getting charged $60 in Canada, but that's still less than $1 more a month, and making it exactly $5 a month.

I'm just saying, it's not like XBL Gold is expensive, yet everyone complains on here all the time. Yeah, PSN is free, but I had a PS3 and PSN sucks. I could never get into games with friends, no cross game voice chat, etc. I know it's getting better, but 2 years on the market, it should.

You can get 13 month cards for 40 bucks anytime through Newegg and Buy.com and Wal-Mart have been selling them for 30 bucks recently.
