I heard same thing but then u run into the issue with players on the IR if your using one came with game may be able to create more somebody told me I think its either week 3 or 4 update u could create up to 256...not sure how true that is though.
I do know that EA lowered the number u used to be able to create by a bunch so u take risk of if u create a bunch guys and it don't save then all work was done for nothing.
I used the last roster update of yr and know for fact u can only create 88 players.
