0 Player Roster Update (Xbox 360)

[xCAGEx]

This is a different kind of roster update I created for fun today. I did it as a test to see what would happen if instead of updating every player to match todays Madden Roster I deleted every single player. In doing so I found the game randomly generated players to fill every position for every team.
Its created a whole new experience playing the game.

The only down fall is every player is a rookie.
On the plus side it really challenges you to develop the players to match your style of play.
And there is no one dominate team...

You will need a usb flash drive
Horizon Software

On Head Coach create a roster save on your USB flash drive
After creating plug usb flash drive into pc
Open Horizon, Horizon should auto detect your flash drive
On the right side of Horizon you should see flash drive
Under game - Head Coach - Your Roster Save
Click on your roster save and new window opens
Click on Content - Then right click on your roster save - click replace - select the new roster update - then save, rehash and resign botton
Plug usb flash back into xbox under "My Coach" then "FILE MANAGEMENT" load roster save.

Updated File as of March 25th
File contains all original coaches only.
I have simmed threw 4 season and have 0 issues.

Now this is the fun part. Once you have loaded the roster save go back to My Coach and then Roster.
Select Depth Chart ...
You will want to go into every team and Auto Update the Depth chart by pushing the LB Button.
Do this for each team. Once done when you back out it will ask you to save the update. Select Yes and save to your hard drive.
Start New Career and have fun....

Thanks, Cage

Tried this yesterday. Freezes right before 3rd preseason game vrs. The Bears in my Brown's chise. Not sure if this is due to the Bears still having one original player on their roster. Going to try and SIM a couple of other teams and see if its the same. Otherwise was very cool. Does suck not having all of my coaches for my team though.

After reading this I did some test and found I to had the same issue...
I have figured out the issue and am working on it now.
Turns out I have to fill every position coach for ever team.
The game freezes at this point because this is the point in the preseason where you have the first chance to improve your coaching staff...
Ill let you know know when I have the issue fixed.
Thanks for the feed back

Does the link uptop go to the fixed one now?

[xCAGEx]

Yes it does

And let me tell you. Playing with all these new players got me fired after one season with my Broncos.
Went 4-12
Signed on with the Dolphins in my second season. Built my team threw free agency and doing much better in my first season with the Fins. Hard as hell but having fun

Works like a charm. Pretty sure your teams original philosophy for each position plays into who your gm makes for the roster. Was trying the Browns with the college attack and got a qb with potential 98tp 89acc but 32sp and 36acl. Bernie clone lol

Thanks...
Something different I wanted to try just to see what would happen.
Ive actually had fun with it.
Did notice after my first season nearly half the coaches got fired and many retired.
Ive noticed in my second season players have started to develop into the mid to 80s and I saw the Patriots QB is a 90.
Didnt take as long as I first thought for players to start to move up in ratings.
