Has EA just eliminated the need for custom rosters?

Madden shouldnt have pre existing injuries at all. Just cause a players gets hurt in real life thats not a good reason to make them hurt on the game simply because its a game. How you feel if you bought Smackdown vs Raw and you couldnt play with Triple H or the Undertaker cause of them hur prior to the game being released? I'd say that would suck. Same thing applies for NBA Live Im sure you would be upset if you went to pick the Heat and D-Wade was out with a shoulder injury. I think EA is tryin to be too real with this.

Well it only works if you're online so I don't think that's going to be a problem.

Also happend last year, I dont have xbox live, but did download the updated rosters from this site. EA did roster changes and added a well number of players on the IR in the game (which were still available for play now and you could turn off IR in Franchise mode). HOWEVER, I tried to do roster changes at the end of the season and with the IR and roster updates EA did, as well as no edit number, it was impossible to complete. IR players were un-releaseable. Players like Kerney, Arrington, Williams (Davis), and many others had to stay on the team, they are currently not on. I dont mind IR, if they want to put it in the game (but let us still be able to edit, release, trade, whatever). After EA puts the IR on someone, besides just to play, the player was useless.

Yeah, no kidding. They don't even update their rosters weekly, let alone daily.

It doesn't seem like you're downloading anything though so I don't think that it's going to happen like that.

You were talking about downloading roster updates, I said that it doesn't look like you will have to download anything since this would only work if you're online. What don't you understand?
