Does IR work properly now?

[sbird91939]

I got the game when it was first released but have been unable to play it again until now. I know last time i played it, Injured Reserve didn't work right.

Any word on if its fixed now?

IR won't work properly until the way Madden handles rosters is fundamentally changed. Right now it's a hard cap at 55 players (53 default roster + 1 CAP + 1 NFL Superstar mode player), presumably due to A) memory reasons, or B) just an archaic holdover from previous-generation consoles that has yet to be changed.

I think a change in the roster limit will coincide with a significant improvement in franchise mode (i.e. preseason minicamps, roster cutdowns, etc.)

no it doesnt, its broke for player. i dont know if its working for cpu. it was broke in old head coach and prior maddens iirc, not sure about pc versions.

it does work very nicely in 2k5 though, at the end of the season ending up with lots on the roster offers lots of trade opportunites

It amazes me, it worked on Head Coach 09, yet they still didn't fix it in Madden.

I doubt they'd ever do that...it would just require more effort to add more players and then write an acceptable logic for CPU teams to sign and cut players at the deadlines. Not to mention writing code for some sort of actual training camp that's fun and replayable every season to make having more than 55 players during preseason worth something. Just seems outside of their realm, unfortunately, but that would be cool. Hopefully they surprise me.
