Missing players

[TomBrady]

Why are there so many missing players in Madden 11? For example Antonio Garay (predicted by sportingnews to be the starting NT for San Diego), Stafon Johnson, Ogemdi Nwagbuo. etc.
edit: Antonio Garay is actually the starting NT for San Diego: http://www.chargers.com/team/depth-chart.html

Re: Missing players

Laziness, fact is most gamers don't care so EA doesn't care. It's the same reason why so many players don't have pictures. They say they "can't" put pictures in the game after it's been released, what a joke. Honestly, how have you failed to put a first round pick's in 2007 picture in the game(Jarvis Moss). I'm not even a Bronco fan and that pisses me off.

I can't imagine getting the players pictures can be that hard, why they don't just take as many player pictures as they think may be neccessar and end up with too many baffles me.

Re: Missing players

NFL just started pre-season... final rosters are still weeks away and current "depth" charts mean absolutely nothing.. all the missing players people think should be in game will be if they are indeed on the roster for game 1 of the regular season, however quickly EA gets the first real roster update out in September.

Ogemdi Nwagbou is in the game for SD. Chargers are Also missing DT Antonio Garay (as you stated) DT Vaughn Martin and S CJ Spillman. Whats funny though is Vaughn Martin is in the game SOMEWHERE but not on the Chargers or Free Agents. I know he is in the game because i have his card in Ultimate Team and have used him.

Re: Missing players

Sam Shields. CB for the Packers is missing. I know he is an undrafted free agent, but he has a good chance at making the team as a special teamer with his 4.2 speed.

Re: Missing players

4.2 speed

No way! This would put him fastest player in the NFL now over Chris Johnson of the Titans. I've never heard of a player with 4.2 flat speed. Do you mean 4.2 with another digit on the end? Chris Johnson ran a 4.24 I believe at the combine a couple years ago. I would find it hard to beat that time.

Sam Shields was not invited to the combine and ran a recorded 4.30 and 4.33 40 time at University of Miami's pro day. Far off from 4.2 speed, but as a Hurricanes fan he is pretty fast, deserving of a 95 or so.

Speaking of interesting last names, is Scott Sicko in the game?

No, he's not in the updated rosters from EA Sports and won't be unless he makes the Cowboys roster. He was like 5th string before the injury to Phillips and they signed Farr recently too at TE. I'd be surprised to see him make the team but he could be on the practice squad for sure.

Re: Missing players

The problems stem from the fact that all you can have on each team's roster is 55 players. Don't ask me why they can't incorporate the off-season roster to real-life specs with cut-downs and such. So you have to have backups at each position and that is probably one of the main reasons for missing players (to see who makes the teams). If they had the 85 men player rosters and practice squads (not sure if that's the correct # or not) just throwing out a figure. Then you could have all the players and preseason would actually mean something. Hopefully, next year they can get this right.

No not 4.2 literally.

And no, to you to. I was using 4.2 not as the actually speed, but in a sense he has a lot of speed. More of an exaggeration on my part, a little off but I should of made it more clear for you guys. No offense, that was on me.

Amen.

Without full 80 man rosters, the pre-season is pretty close to useless in my book. And IMO disc space is no longer a legitimate excuse.

No excuse whatsoever... NCAA has 70 man rosters, and 116? teams... Thats a heck of alot more players taking disk space then 85 man NFL rosters...I just really hope thats something they implement whenever they overhaul franchise.

70 man rosters that can be even higher in the offseason before cuts. And it's 120 teams this year I believe. Even if they allowed us 70 man rosters it would be a start. And they need to get rid of roster minimums. Some 3-4 teams only carry 2 NTs like the Browns, etc. But to have 80 man rosters in the off/pre-season with PUP lists and a proper IR system.. with 75 man cuts, then final 53 man cuts with practice squads... don't get me started on a waiver system. It is something I dream of among many things.. this game could be so great and rewarding.
