This is great! I will definitely use it. Do you plan on following all the transactions and updating the post periodically?

[bodank82]

Cool that you've done this. I like how you have detail of what team the player came from. I have been using CBS's transaction list, which updates quicker than espn and nfl.com's somehow. They do not include the position of the player, which can make it more difficult. Using these updates on a Roster with projected draft picks (like AZ has) would be a lot of fun to do a mock draft with, or wait until the real draft comes..
anyway. i could go on, but just saying good job. This game keeps growing on me unlike the previous versions did.

[Chiryder85]

I'm trying to keep it updated. I update it at work, lol. It depends. I update it randomly. I would check around noon time and at night. I'll probably do it more as I feel like it, but those are almost always guaranteed times. I will check CBS Sportsline. NFL.com is a joke. They tell me players that sign but they're under their current team. I keep up with profootballtalk.com. But, they mostly handle the bigger deals. When I first started I just did a sweep of the wikipedia page where they list all of the teams nfl rosters by division all on one page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFL_rosters

and just catch names I don't recognize on new teams. That's where I go to update their new numbers. They are pretty fast with updating the rosters and numbers.

[farcry1968]

any suggestions on how to get Adrian Wilson AND Aqib Talib on the Patriots at the same time without releasing everyone else. I did free up 2 million by releasing Brady then resigning him and I got 2 million by releasing Daniel Fells I also released Will Smith I still cannot get under the cap HELP!!!

[paarman]

A question that I have, that I can't seem to find the answer to is how do you move/trade players that have injuries? Is there a way to "uninjure" a player? I'm just modifying the roster on my own prior to starting a franchise. I know you can start a franchise and disable pre-existing injuries, but I'd like to have the roster set, then start a franchise. Is this possible? Thanks in advance.

the only way I know of is to use the final roster update. there are no players on IR

[paarman]

Thanks. I am using a custom roster, and actually doing this on Madden 12. I will either bite the bullet and pick up Madden 13 soon, or see if I can get my hands on the same roster with no IR players.

Btw, thanks again to Chiryder85 for this, I've been changing what I can, having this all in one place helps so much!
