No it applies to the game. It doesn't matter what roster you use every thing is available for any player.
Sorry fellas but they where not hard coded into the players DNA. I tested it many times. Some players where but not everybody. Some of the bigs like Duncan did not have thier package at all.
Also the very second you edited one of the players that didn't have thier package set in the edit and was coded in was changed to whatever it showed on the edit screen. They where not HARDcoded at all. I tested it many times. Derrick Rose had D. Wade's dunk package coded in the game but the very second I edited him it changed to the althetic guard package that it showed in the edit screen. Same thing happened to Josh Smith. He had his packaged coded in but as soon as I edited his ball handling it became Dwight's dunk package. That's why the where changing the packages every since the first roster update.
