Xbox Live Gold for Roster Download?

Hey, just wondering if you need Gold to download updated rosters? I have silver, and it's not letting me. If not, then I will minimum be furious.

I'd like to know this, too.

I didn't play 11, but in Madden 10 you could download rosters with a silver account. Did they change that? If so, that's beyond low, it's dirty pool.

I'm guessing they'll have a preseason roster update after the final cuts this weekend. If I can't download that with my silver account, I'm going to have a meltdown of nuclear proportions and will be e-mailing and calling EA demanding a full refund.

If you need a gold account to download rosters they should be obligated to let you know before buying the freaking game.

Unfortunately, this does appear to be the case. I got around it by creating a new xbox live account, and when you do they offer you a free month of gold. Of course that means I can only get the first couple updates, and then I'm screwed. Maybe if there's enough negative reaction they'll patch it. I agree completely that I should not have to pay extra to receive roster updates when updated rosters are one of the main reasons people by essentially the same game year after year.

It's not EA, it's Microsoft. I agree EA is money hungry, but c'mon man...

No, it's EA.

You also need a game code to access to the online rosters. I rented the game to try it out before buying and wasn't able to get the rosters even though I had an XBL Gold membership.

That's so absurd. I already was leaning towards not buying the game, and this very well may have solidified it. Hope it was worth my 60 bucks, EA.
