    Classic Rosters cannot be done.

    This is outside CFM:Unless EA Patches this forget about making Classic Rosters. I attempted 93 Chiefs,made 27 offensive players (found players that matched their size,weight,etc) no problems (most Chiefs don't make millions). Now on to the Defense, I pretty much kept getting exceed salary cap message even though I was probably about 40 million under the Cap. So EA/Madden must keep the salary of the guys you release or something else(I don't know). Good luck,you can trade around this but if you try this way enjoy all the headaches it will cause you.

      I did that,my guess is you have not done a whole team yet and just some here and there. I mention the 27 players I thought the "under 40 million" in cap part explain that.

          Plus a fictional roster you can edit anybody you choose it wouldn't have to that accurate. So I will agree a fictional roster can be done, MY TITLE is Classic Roster

            I'm new to this console after years of CPU

            The biggest problem I see is not being able to clear 'years pro/exp' and the inability to clear stats tables of you edit existing players.

            That kills turning classic rosters into long-term franchises, IMO.

              I have no problems with the salary cap. You just have to keep an eye on it and lower or raise ratings and release them, then resign them to the team. It is no different from the previous maddens as far as I can tell. I am making a 1975 roster and I have not run into any issues. I have moved players around and have the guys on the right teams and renamed for 4 teams. It can be done, just takes patience to make the salaries work.

              We should be able to edit contracts and everything else outside of the Franchise mode, but we cannot, just the like previous years.

                While there is nothing you can do about the clearing stats, I use players who either have the same experience or close to the same experience when I make a roster. So, I find it works for the most part. Plus, this year, if you want to take the extra time to do it, you can edit that once you are in the franchise mode. The stats are just something we have to live with if you are going to use classic rosters for a franchise. I personally do find it to be much of an issue.

                  When you edit a player, for some reason Cap Penalties is changed.

                  If you've already cleared the teams Cap Penalties, you can always use the $5mil increase functionality as the Commish.

                      So this is on Xbox one & you did 4 whole teams not a handful? I uploaded the roster on xbox one. Gamertag:Starsc4eam so see what you can do with that. I HAVE CAP SPACE I Know 3 million plus 1 million plus 1 million and 31 $700,000 players that I made doesn't even equal 38 million dollars add the other 20 players I couldn't get rid of & there is another 20 million(they also are around $700,000) that is 58 million total for all players and the CAP is way higher. So back to my question if you made let say Steve Young & you didn't care about height,weight,looks then you in theory you wouldn't of had to drop as many player thus this glitch wouldn't have happen to your roster. Go download that Starsc4eam & see what you can do. FOR THE RECORD I HOPE I AM WRONG and you guys are right. I will not say I edited wrong because as I keep repeating the Chiefs are like 50 million below CAP

                        Why would I make a roster INSIDE CFM.you can't share those can you? So I understand your CAP penalty but that is INSIDE CFM...so pointless to my problem.

                        I was hoping with my roster somebody would take a look see where I got most equipment,weight,height,& looks close and then the diehards that look up stats and traits would take it from there. I mean hell I don't know if Jim Kelly is Pocket 1,2,3,etc. But these diehards do know that & I applaud their hardwork.

                        I'll be getting ready for my fantasy football draft. I am probably kicking the champion out of league so There is 1 spot open then. PM me if interested(if you touch your team even when your team sucks). That means I will look for PMs but will read if there are any replies Sunday.

                        Starsc4eam Xbox One Madden 17 or 16,which reminds me on Madden 16 didn't have this salary cap problem finished 10 teams(no O-line)so I am pretty sure I know what I am doing. I Quit that roster because EASports jacks your roster no matter how many different ways you try.

                          I wish I could download the roster but I am on PS4. I really do not know what has happened to your roster. I am not sure what you process is as you go. I adjust one position on a team at a time. Either through trade or releasing and then signing FAs. Then I move to the next position and so on. Sometimes I will release the "no face" players before I start editing the positions. Are you dropping as many players as possible right from the start? If so, perhaps that is causing some sort of problem. I really do not know. I will be doing more editing on my roster today, so if I run into anything I will let you know. I wish I could help more and I hope you are able to fix whatever happened.

                            Iteachpercussion explain how to do it. He mostly trades for his 'exact' match while I release and usually turn crappy free agents into matches and sign them while their still 'crappy' with low salary. So I am saying when I release those 8 & 12 million dollar players, I assume Madden has a invisible CAP penalty thus prompting the 'cannot sign,exceed salary CAP'. And traded wrong players for the 'exact match' player does not have a invisible CAP penalty. Thanks to Iteachpercussion for explaining his process. Until somebody tries my incorrect way of making/editing players I will say this"the classic rosters can be done". But they should be able to get done doing it my incorrect way. END OF THREAD
