u should have an updated roster if u loaded that roster file and then started a new franchise. Along with that, much of the work that goes into these roster files in this community goes into keeping the roster up to date. However, by the beginning of the 2012-2013 nfl season, many of those players will be cut as well. Franchise mode tries its best to simulate that in madden12. Everybody should be updated as long as u loaded up the correct roster file then start franchise mode.players will be cut as u advance to the season, but that's just how it is in real life too
