Shawn, after you save the default roster and start up franchise arent you still going to be unlocking HOF'ers? wont they then be in your FA pool during franchise?

Re: Unlocked HOFers a Madden "Feature" - Workaround Posted For Franchise/Superstar Mo

So all I have to do is save the roster file that comes with the game, and load that everytime I boot up before going into my Franchise/Superstar? Or do I just load the Franchise/Superstar?

Can Legends be added to my roster if I simply load the Franchise first?

I am probably making this out to be harder than it is.

Just a quick question. When you're talking about profiles do you mean Madden profiles or Xbox 360 profiles? I don't have NCAA so I don't know how they do it.

Madden profile.

"...the (design) team wanted to give players the ability to use HOF players on current rosters. This is intentional."

it seems to me the only way this can work is if you have all of the players unlocked already and then start a franchise or superstar with updated/loaded rosters. this way you wouldnt be unlocking players that get put into free agency while you play.

I wonder if the guy who sent the workaround already had everyone unlocked?

I guess we will see if this actually work in 6 days. For me if it doesnt, and hall of famers start appearing in my franchise, the game is officially junk to me and I will use it as trade bait.

Seconded. I guess the alternative response on their part would have had to have been along the lines of "we're big stupid morons" so you can't fault them for going into damage control mode. Talk about a disastrous first two years of Madden 360...

Re: Unlocked HOFers a Madden "Feature" - Workaround Posted For Franchise/Superstar Modes!

ok so i understand the loading information... clean file ect.. or download..

but my question is...can we even alter the "default rosters" before we save them... say if lee suggs and derrick striat were traded (suggs failed physical - didnt end up going through) for real, could i make those changes, or add free agents that are currently on teams now, that weren't when they finished the game.. and save that altered roster as my "default roster" and still be able to dodge the legends?

my second questions is...we save the roster, start a franshise, exit and then load a madden profile.........but...what if i want to start a new or start another franchise later....i cant? now that i have already loaded a profile? or do i have to do the whole process over again?

sorry for all the questions, but us madden players need to fully understand what were getting into here..

THANKS

And lastly...couldn't you simply fix the problem by editing the Hall of Famer's ratings SO low that he would be rendered useless on any team and would automatically be at the bottom of the depth chart?

You would think that would be a quick cure for this bug.. but alas.. the fine people at EA left player editing out of the game too.

Sigh..

You'd need to back the profile up to a memory card, remove it from your Xbox's hard drive, use a "clean" roster to create the file, and then you could re-install the profile.

No problem, but I think folks are overanalyzing this... it'll be very clear once you have the game in your hands.

Re: Unlocked HOFers a Madden "Feature" - Workaround Posted For Franchise/Superstar Mo

can't they just make a patch to fix the problem? also, why do they not let you edit players attributes? It makes zero sense at all. I think I'm going to have to pass on Madden, or wait to a patch is available, which will probably never happen. Why do they continually do stupid things like this? Their QA stinks.

Re: Unlocked HOFers a Madden "Feature" - Workaround Posted For Franchise/Superstar Modes!

Is this just a 360 issue, or current gen too? And if it is a current gen problem as well, does the same fix apply?

Re: Unlocked HOFers a Madden "Feature" - Workaround Posted For Franchise/Superstar Modes!

Seriously, is it too much to ask the Madden people to leave these stupid features out of the game or allow people to turn off the feature with a flag instead of forcing people to do work-arounds to get a game working?

This isn't a fix. A fix would be to create a patch to disable all of these features that Madden programmers 'add' to the game. I'm not sure why anyone owes EA an apology in this instance, Shawn. It's still broken IMO. Would it be too much to ask for a game where I can play a dynasty with the players in the league without adding special characters or players that are currently sitting in wheelchairs? And if that option is included, shouldn't I be allowed to turn it off with the press of a button? Cripes.

If anything, this saved me $60. Thanks, EA.

You'd need to back the profile up to a memory card, remove it from your Xbox's hard drive, use a "clean" roster to create the file, and then you could re-install the profile.

ok now, i have the 360, that did not...come with a hard drive. I have a memory card and a transfer kit (loads files on my computer hard drive). So would i have to take my memory card out, start the game, and then once im at the menu screen, put the card back in to load my default rosters and start a franchise?

also, just to be seriously clear, no other questions (except for the fact, i would still like to know if we can edit players equimpment?) with my memory card...i can just save a default roster and thats it... so when my game loads, thats all it loads. No profile, no anything. This would allow me to always be ready to do a franchise or superstar mode? keep an updated roster? still play games? and not have to deal with legends in any aspect of the game? ....im i right or no.

thanks for all the help, i really appreciate it.
