"Unlocked" Hall of Famers appear in Xbox 360 Superstar/Franchise modes - REPORT

[mdgoalie37]

I wonder if controlling all 32 teams would solve this issue. There are usually settings for what parts you want the CPU to control - if you can turn the FA setting to human and all the others to CPU that should solve the issue. That is if you actually have to sign these guys or if they magically appear on your roster. I guess we'll wait for more details...

So what if I have to matchup with Jerry Rice on the Patriots or Emmitt Smith on the Steelers, my team is usually stacked anyway, from abuse of trade logic and Minicamp resets. Unless there are a select people that try to play mirrored matchups with their favorite teams (not taking into account the hardcore that control all 32 teams). Bring it on Montana! Manning vs Montana ftw!

so you don't mind having hall of fame players in your franchise. not to mention they'll probably rated damn near 99.

I don't believe that there should have to be any sort of workaround, or convoluted process to get the franchise mode to play how it was advertised as it would. EA told Shawn and IGN as a fact that HoF players would not show up in Franchise and I for one was relieved to hear that. But now that is apparently not true, I'm wondering why they told Shawn what they did in the first place. And I also really appreciate him reporting the news in advance of the release.

Like others, If there isn't a way to straighten this out I am definately not picking 07 up.

Is this MGL thing just an XBox 360 thing? I haven't played madden in 3 years but was going to get it this year just for fun. But I'm getting it for the XBox and I was hoping there was no way this "feature" doesn't affect the XBox version.

WOW. Just wow. This is 1 thing I just cant let slip. EA has to fix this before release. Maybe Madden is in for a delay. While they're at, add the option for us to edit equipment,lol.

Do they come in as young players, or are they all super old?

There's no way in hell it's getting delayed.
