We're told that the bug doesn't show up in dynasty mode, so yes, if you download a set, and get into dynasty mode, you'll be fine.
After testing, I was able to edit more players and create more players with the roster file ''EAROSTERS COM'' than any of the others here.. Even though, these are based off the same set. Strange. I'm not sure what the deal is, but it'll have to do for now. I'd suggest using those, and you should be okay to edit a
few players. This all goes aways, though, when one of us decides to make a fresh set, from scratch.. I'm not far from doing so myself.
Good luck.
