Poll for devs attn: edit names or edit numbers

[BoiseBronco2024]

I want to be able to change numbers, 100%.

Also, if EA's talking about "we can't allow number changes because our lawyers said we can be sued for an Ed O'Bannon situation," then their lawyers are morons and simply don't understand this aspect.

Let's say I'm playing as Michigan and I recruit a CB that's a really good Freshman with excellent attributes and he's assigned #2.

Well, I could say "Wow. He's really good and I'm going to change his height, weight, equipment and then his name to Charles Woodson. Cool! Now I got Charles Woodson in the game!"

EA isn't avoiding anything with the number change BS and are literally opening up issues with the ability to change height, weight, and name for what I outlined above.

Just my opinion on it.

Who says you'll be able to change his name to Charles Woodson, they could have blocks in place.

Exactly what I'm saying! The chances of this happening are infinitely higher than happening to get a recruit named Charles Woodson and changing him to number 2. Funny thing about all this is, they'll probably see this and take away the ability to change names too

Could have a block in place, might not. If that was the case, then they'd allow rosters, numbers, ratings to be modified if they had a huge list of names on the "block list."

My exact fears once I hit "submit reply."

Is there a database editor for the save files on the Xbox Series or PS5 consoles for Madden?

For me, it's about the numbers. I think we all agree that those numbers signal who "the guys" are on the team and it's a great feeling landing a major athlete and gifting him one of those single numbers.

I also do believe that we're in for journey of patches and quality of life fixes with this initial release. Some may come day 1, others may come mid-season. I expected there would be some things that would later be introduced. Scott OG mentioned that they would soon include a patch that would aid in the wear & tear system, where a player could (for example) put on an ankle brace and heal faster.

I almost bet we'll see a lot more calibration going into the season opener, beyond just player ratings etc. I'm also naive enough to believe they already know these concerns we have. My suggestion, enjoy the release day and experience the newness. I'll most likely be working on game sliders before doing a full on dynasty.
