Bare minimum requirement for Madden Rosters?

[gametyme89]

What's the least amount of players each NFL team is allowed to have on their roster in Madden? Does the minimum in Madden equate to the minimum in the actual NFL?

I know 53 is the max and 46 is the gameday (suit up) max. But is there an actual minimum requirement to an NFL roster stating that each team must have AT LEAST ____#____ amount of players on the roster each week?

I don't believe the NFL has an official roster minimum, and the NFL Rules Digest offers the following related information:

Quote:

It is not a foul if a team has fewer than 11 players on the field of play or the end zone when a snap, free kick, or fair-catch kick is made.

On defense, I suppose this means one could theoretically deploy zero players onto the field. Presumably one would need at least two players on the roster to compete on offense (and at least one on most special teams plays), however, as NFL rules mandate that a play must start with a snap, a free kick such as during kickoffs and safety punts, or the infamous "fair catch free kick" rule which is rarely if ever invoked.

I just wonder mainly for salary cap purposes. Some teams could carry less players just to have more cap space each year i suppose.

Bare minimum is 43 per the CBA.

Not home at the moment but it was on page 150 (I think) of the CBA.

Let me know if that doesn't show, was page 145.
