Is IR fixed in franchise mode?

I just want a yes or no answer. Thanks.

I hear people talking about this a lot, what was wrong with it, cause i feel out of the loop lol.

In real life, when you IR a player, you open up a roster spot. Therefore if you are at the limit and have a RB go down to injury, for example, you can sign another player to your team to fill the void.

In Madden, you have to cut somebody to make room. What is even more stupid is that you can cut injured players.

PS: Why is this important? Well for guys like me who love offline franchise, injuries are the only way you can simulate the roller coaster ride of the NFL regular season. With only one progression point, there really isn't anything else to derail a juggernaut from week 1 through the Super Bowl.

I usually jack up the injuries and try to make my depth really matter. It makes franchise really fun. However, it is no fun when you have to cut your starting QB because you can't shelve him for the season when he breaks his collarbone.

From what I've heard...


No. It has not been fixed.

That was the only thing I needed fixed personally. I can work around game play issues if I police myself (stay away from money plays, play a sim style), but this is the one thing I desperately wanted fixed.

I guess I'm out for Madden 10

In one of these threads scattered across the boards. If I recall correctly, a dev said that putting someone on IR frees up cap space but he ommitted saying anything about freeing up a roster spot.
