I wouldn't think they would even care to respond right now, the street date was broken again, and until the 15th, they are probably saying who cares right now, nobody is suppose to own the game right now.

Is this happening in all game modes? Can someone with an edited roster file see if this messes up teams in dynasty and online mode. As long as it works for dynasty i'm fine with it.

If it does happen in dynasty mode I wonder if that is messing with the stats that people have posted since teams would either be playing 0 rated teams or no team at all.

LOL. I dont know if they are saying 'Who Cares'! Seriously. I would HOPE that they are coming up with a release day patch for this problem. At this rate it has gone gold so there is really no going back. Unless there is a complete recall.

In that case, can you imagine what Ian and the guys that make Madden are thinking at this point?!

Wow.

I got the 360 version yesterday. I downloaded Pasta's roster from the EA Locker. The only change I made was to edit equipment for two Houston players, QB 7 (Keenum) and QB 15 (Joseph).

When I go to "play now", I find that one team's ratings seem to have been effected. FIU (which I didn't touch) is showing up as overall 0, offense 0, defense 15.

When I go to "team management-view & edit rosters", a fully named FIU team is there. When I start an exhibition game w/FIU it works without a hitch.

I'm not sure what's going on here, but it seems clear that it's a good idea to hold off on making any changes to the rosters until we hear from EA on this. Pasta's roster works, so 360 owners should be ok. PS3 folks appear to be SOL for the time being.

I think that's a great question and idea. FK can you do that? Go into dynasty with a team that has one of the missing teams on it's schedule.

Of course, it still doesn't help when you try to edit the players on the team and it doesn't show but I am curious as to what would happen. Could that help narrow down where the problem is coming from?

I'm not sure if you've gotten far enough to know this or not, but do we know for sure that if we download Pasta's rosters and don't edit anyone that it will work fine. Like can I play dynasty mode okay this way?

Wow...They might as well strip the team names & likeness then & release there version of All-Pro football then...

The last time I checked it's the NCAA, and the names aren't even suppose to be allowed, like I said it's bonus all these year we were able to edit, so until it's fixed, I will generated names.
