    how do you prevent them from signing them in the off-season? Do you manually control everyone's FA signings? That seems highly cumbersome.

      First of all, if this bug is in there, it is simply inexcusable. It's not as if this would be the 1st time this had happened.

      Secondly, what, if anything, would EA be able to do for the console games? Recall them all? I doubt that would ever happen.

      Third, I don't know that I could ever "feel sorry" for EA, or any other large corporation.

      NFL 2K4 had this same problem. Deion Sanders and Michael Irvin, who had already been retired, as well as a number of fictional characters (there was some 450 pound Sumo wrestler who showed up) were unlocked automatically based on achievements. They would then be entered into the Free Agent list, and teams could sign them.

        I'm a one season guy. I play along with the real nfl season and rarely fool around with the FA stuff. Thats why I'm so anal about games having the feature to control every team.

          This is where im confused. From my understanding, you get Madden Points during every game you play. Couldnt you make a profile, save your settings (sliders and difficulty level), and just never save your profile after a game? That way your Madden points are never saved.

          Shawn, correct me if im wrong.
          Hmmm... this sounds like it would work in theory. Create an original profile with settings,etc. before starting any games and never save your profile again. Of course, for those that like to keep USER records, they won't be able to view them. Not a biggie for me though. I'm still hoping there's some type of patch released to fix this crap.

            That's so crazy that it just might work......just make sure you don't have the setting set at auto-save. I hope they do release a patch on this, they have plenty of time to fix this before the 22nd.

              I wouldn't expect a patch from EA. They know year in and year out the average drone, not the OS/Utopia/Madden Nation/etc member, but the average drone will buy this game and keep it amongst the best selling games on the market. As such, EA has no need to patch a game as they wouldn't make money by doing it, so we are better off dealing with this and hoping they address it next year.

                Can anyone confirm if this goes for all systems, or is it just on the 360 version?

                  This sucks.

                  But what the hell, I'm signing Barry Sanders.

                  And once All-Madden difficulty gets too easy, it might be nice to get the extra challenge of playing against Hall of Famers.

                  At least we can control who WE sign...

                  Stay Positive,
                  -Noah

                        Dam this is messed up and has the potential to be a franchise killer.I hope Ea comes out with a patch by the games release.

                        There is NOTHING HUMANLY POSSIBLE that YOU can do to STOP ME.That is WHY they call ME UNCOVERABLE #85

                            No patch but the game looks really prety and shiny. Aren't those the most important things?

                              This is as close as it gets to a game killer for me, I like online leagues and all but mostly its dynasty for me. I don't know the legend count but I hope its not too much. That way by year three most teams won't be stacked.

                              But hey, they will probably retire after one year, or one can hope.
