You can back out at the team select screen. No need to go all the way to the coin toss.

Ok, so I just need to enter a "room" and it will prompt me at that point? The reason I ask is because I have never played online and don't ever plan to, but I do want the roster update. I have the ps3 version, my ps3 is connected to my wireless internet and I do have an EA account. Last night I was looking around in Madden and I selected the online item from the Main Menu. One of the options in there was to join a room from a list of "rooms" (I forgot what they are called). So all I need to do is enter one of those "rooms" regardless if there are 10 people already in there or I am the first person in there and it will prompt me for the roster update at that point? If so that is fine, I just don't want to be rude to somebody by having them think I am playing them and then back out at the last minute.

Also, can't I just download the roster update with my pc, put it on a usb flash drive and copy it onto my ps3 that way? That would seem to make the most sense. Actually what would make the most sense would be to have a menu option in Madden for "Roster Update".

Can someone with any knowledge of this please answer? Many gamers want to know, lol.

You can't get them from just being in a room/lobby. You need to start a match. What I usually do is select "Quick Match" then choose "Unranked". It will automatically search for an opponent for you and then take you to the team select screen once it finds someone. That is when you will be prompted to download the roster. Choose yes, save it, then back out of the team select screen.

Yup, that would wouldn't it?

Not sure about the flash card, but I don't think you can.

I do thank Ian for listening to us, but I don't thank EA at all for releasing a patch to fix a game freeze issue. To me this is elementary, get it right before you release it. I've never seen so many bugs and errors by a video game company before in my life. Most game play issues I can live with, issues of freezing.... come on.

Thank you, I appreciate the info.
