EA Opening Day Rosters PS2 (JUST IN CASE)

[shockman]

Yeah thats pretty sad but.....I would rather wait a couple of days than to have a game full of glitches and flaws, a.k.a next gen.

I know all about the sorry Madden product for the PS3. I have both systems & the ps2 Madden 08 is way better in gameplay & overall rating than on the PS3. However, there is no excuse for this delay when we have rosters for the 360 & PS3. I can guarantee that the rosters will not be much better/different than the next gen rosters.

I have already taken the roster update from August 16th & updated 15 teams to good accuracy but I've about went as far as I can without a lot of missing players. I don't care about EA including LS in the rosters because they aren't as important as other positions. However, they are important on every team. Why EA Sports can't add this position to the game is beyond me. Every team has a LS(Long Snapper) so obviously these players are important. If they wasn't then every team would use a regular position guy to do the long snapping.

What EA Sports problem is that they can't even get the roster right without including the LS position. I mean they can't get players in the game that start or have been on teams for a while. They can't add players to teams that were cut/released & picked up by other teams. I could understand possibly not getting a lot of 3rd string position players into the rosters but to exclude some starters & 2nd string players is ridiculous. I mean we have each teams rosters right there readily available to see on the web. It's just really ashame to see this type stuff continue from EA Sports. They make tons of $ from us buying the game but can't keep up with our demands. It's truly a disgrace to see. Thanks!

Exactly. Why even put the position on the depth chart if you are going to incorporate those players into the game? Bryan Pittman for instance has been the Texans long snapper since the teams first season in 2002 but has never ever been in Madden. Sad. If it's in the game it's in the game right?

Another major issue to look over is roster requirements. Positions should be grouped on the breakdown. For instance OT, OG, and C should consist of the OL group and you should be required to carry 9 in that group (which is common in the NFL) instead of the 10 which are required now. Also, roster requirement should vary according to the schemes your teams run. Most teams that run a 3-4 defense seem to only carry 2 DT's and about 4 or so MLB's these days. Something else that needs to be fixed. I could get into more but I don't have much more time to type right now. Regardless I think we can all agree Madden is a great game but has the potential to be much, much more.
