Rosters Updated by Saturday Night?

[Elements]

Since the league will finalize rosters down to a 52 men how long do you think it will take Madden to be updated?

I want to get my Online Franchise rolling, but I'm waiting for this to happen! Anyone have any info?

The current updated roster is the roster that you must use to start your franchise. EA will come out with another roster, but it will be cut down to 53 for the start of the regular season. If you start your franchise with the 53 man roster EA will come out with at a later date, you will have 22 fake players on your team when you start the preseason, and over half of those 22 players will make the CPU controlled teams.

That is why Gatorbait2006nc is creating players for each team to fill the 75 man roster. That way each team goes into the preseason with 75 players on their roster already. When the CPU makes their cuts everyone will drop to the FA list becuase those players are created by a human.

UPDATE ON THE ROSTER by Gator,

"I have all the teams sorted out, about to start creating players. Not sure if Im going to keep players that have already been cut on their teams or not. Might as well since I want these rosters to reflect the ones from about a week ago in real life. I will also post a text file that shows you which guys were actually cut in case someone who uses them controls all 32 teams and can make the real life cuts. Also a team like the Giants for example has a 75 man full roster and there are still 2 players on the FA list that need to be on the Giants for now. My text file will include the Giants players who need to be put on IR once the season starts so its possible to sign those 2 other players. Roster should be out this weekend."

Nope, you are looking at 100+ of these fake players making rosters each year. Between 100-200 is a fair guess. At that rate, half of the league will be undrafted, fake, out of nowhere, players. There arent that many undrafted guys in the NFL in real life. More come onto NFL rosters in 1 year of franchise mode than there are in real life.

Controlling all 32 teams is the best option, so you can cut those guys. Those fake guys disappear completely if cut in preseason, while user created guys go to the FA list.

Gators updated roster which with contain 75 real players for each team. Which will lead to a realistic first preseason and a full FA list.

Gotcha...well I plan to do a 32 team chise anyway so I don't have a problem with make all their roster cuts in the preseason. I'll actually be able to create position battles on my own this way anyways.

I actually did notice this after i simmed a season. Alot of good FAs out there, and teams were full of created fake players. Alot of them were rated in the 30s-50s range and on the team after preseason of year 2, so they made the 53 man roster!!! I'm sure this will be patched eventually so not a game breaker imo.

OF roster? I do know that the roster that shipped with the game is way outdated. The newest roster is available to download in the online section of the game.

Re: Rosters Updated by Saturday Night?

yes, i think there was some confusion about which rosters the original poster was referring to.

Thats the thing. Its not a glitch, its just bad AI logic. So it might not get patched.
