Has EA just eliminated the need for custom rosters?

For franchise it'd only apply when you initially started the franchise.

However, I don't think EA will provide timely updates...I mean, it's been what, four or so for the entire NFL season!!! Why increase the frequency with no competition?

Maybe the Madden rosters will be somehow linked to a site, such as ESPN which automatically does this, that way it's not manual. I seriously doubt EA would invite constant daily manual updates upon themselves.

You guys are probably right... but I'm not taking it for granted that something like this won't happen... like HOF's showing up in our Franchise because the producers (Ortiz) thought it was cool and that's what we wanted.

Im fine with it i guess, i dont play online that often so i personally wouldnt worry about it too much. But i guess it does bring another aspect to the game, as long as its not too agressive, if Harrison twist his ankle and desides to sit out early in the week and i cant use him even tho, hes planning on playing, it will kind of be stupid.

I dont know, i just dont think it should be over used, how many people are Day to Day in the NFL season! LOTS! I mean, it might be 5 to 12 players on a team at a time. So i guess its just how far they want to take it, it better not be too far tho, or at least let us turn it off if we want. If they are going to do this too, they better give us a screen that tells us who is currently inactive(hurt, cant play) before we pick our team, at the selection screen.

What about this tho..
""EA Sports said it doesn't know if the changes will mean price increases for games now costing about $60 for Sony PlayStation 3 or Microsoft Xbox 360 owners.""

Ha, and the real reason comes out.

Didn't NFL Fever do the weather thing about 5 years ago? I really like this option. If it is raining in NJ right now and I fire up Madden and play at Giants Stadium I would love to see the rain in my game.

I wouldn't mind the roster thing either if done right. It would only make sense to have this option for the first year of a franchise, but like many have stated, I bet this will be an online only feature.

I like it. I also think the idea of realtime weather is great. Obviously, this needs to be absent from any season or franchise you are running, and I'm sure it will be.

Sounds great to me.

If you aren't hooked up online this will not effect you.

I wonder if this will effect the Wii version as well since mine is online 24/7.
