If I edit players, and create players do I have to start over once the patch is released. My apologies if this has been asked and answered already someplace within these 17 pages. Thanks in advance for anyone that replies!

Have a great day!

I'm wondering the same thing. I've edited lots of player's numbers and helmets/facemasks etc. Do I need to start over when the patch is installed or will those edited players progress even if I'm halfway through the season...??

Please anyone who REALLY knows reply!!

Very annoying. They should have a section to go download roster updates without having to begin to start a match. I always feel bad exiting and leaving my opponent thinking I just quit for no reason.

I see what you mean. I have to pretend that I am going to play somebody and then basically quit when they are doing the coin toss? If so, they really need a better way of doing this and I agree there should just be a section in the online menu for "roster updates". Thanks for the info though.

No before you even go into the game it will have you update the rosters. Its not hard at all and its fine the way there doing it. Its painless.

You can back out at the team select screen. No need to go all the way to the coin toss.

Ok, so I just need to enter a "room" and it will prompt me at that point? The reason I ask is because I have never played online and don't ever plan to, but I do want the roster update. I have the ps3 version, my ps3 is connected to my wireless internet and I do have an EA account. Last night I was looking around in Madden and I selected the online item from the Main Menu. One of the options in there was to join a room from a list of "rooms" (I forgot what they are called). So all I need to do is enter one of those "rooms" regardless if there are 10 people already in there or I am the first person in there and it will prompt me for the roster update at that point? If so that is fine, I just don't want to be rude to somebody by having them think I am playing them and then back out at the last minute.

Also, can't I just download the roster update with my pc, put it on a usb flash drive and copy it onto my ps3 that way? That would seem to make the most sense. Actually what would make the most sense would be to have a menu option in Madden for "Roster Update".

You can't get them from just being in a room/lobby. You need to start a match. What I usually do is select "Quick Match" then choose "Unranked". It will automatically search for an opponent for you and then take you to the team select screen once it finds someone. That is when you will be prompted to download the roster. Choose yes, save it, then back out of the team select screen.

Yup, that would wouldn't it?

Not sure about the flash card, but I don't think you can.

I do thank Ian for listening to us, but I don't thank EA at all for releasing a patch to fix a game freeze issue. To me this is elementary, get it right before you release it. I've never seen so many bugs and errors by a video game company before in my life. Most game play issues I can live with, issues of freezing.... come on.

Believe it or not, you can do that method with the flash drive and the ps3 for game updates. I know because I have done it before with ps3 games.

Re: Madden 09 Quick Patch #2 Update From EA

Care to tell me how? Because it would be a lot better than dragging my ps3 and tv over to my moms house.

I know you could do PS3 system updates via the usb drive but how would that work with a flash drive when you have to be connected to the net?

I did this method for the last roster update in Madden a few weeks ago. Over on Gamefaqs one of the guys put the file up on a site for download, and then I followed these directions and it worked perfectly:

- Download the zip file of Roster updates onto your pc.
- Unzip the file
- Create new folder (name it PS3) in your USB Flash Drive.
- Create another folder inside the PS3 folder, name it 'SAVEDATA'

In most cases, the file you unzip would be a folder named something like this 'BCUS98103'. DO NOT rename it.

- Drag the folder into PS3/SAVEDATA

3) What's next?

- Turn on your PS3
- Plug your USB stick into the USB slot on your PS3
- Under Game > Saved Data Unity, 'USB Device' should appear on the top, select that
- Hit triangle when you see the save on your USB stick, select 'Copy'

If and when the guy does the same thing for this roster update I will post here to let you know. As a matter of fact, I will go over to gamefaqs and ask now. Keep in mind you don't need your ps3 connected online to do this method.

You could also just create a private unranked match. This way you won't have to deal with jumping in and out of someone else's lobby.
