Re: PS3 Preseason Roster with all Active and PS Players

Does this roster have team names in player names, and LS on first name of longsnappers?

No that has all been removed. There is too much movement with practice squad players on a weekly basis either signed to other teams, up to the active roster, or cut completely.

All LS name info has been removed and all Long Snappers have been moved to the Center position removed from the depth chart on the OLine and made the first string LS on all team depth charts.

Is this the original file of the first updated roster dating back to the preseason?
If no do you have it saved with no modification?

I think there is another thread that has all EA roster file releases archived, this uses the preseason roster as a base but has had many players added and all transactions and depth charts are up to date as of 10/1, plus you still have a ton of free agents on the file.

Really like your roster, nice seeing Adam Weber on the Broncos.

But does anyone know if Mario Fannin, RB out of Auburn, was ever in Madden 12? I know he's a practice squad player and on IR, but 5'10" 230 LBs & 4.37 speed screams developmental Madden player to me!

Has anyone seen a CAP around the interwebs?

Re: PS3 Preseason Roster with all Active and PS Players

awesome. i like the added players. i started re-rating many players on the first version of this roster to match ea's updates, but I'll start doing that to these after the next update.

for a Fannin CAP try fbgratings.com/members

Fannin never made PS, he was placed on IR earlier in the offseason. If he can come back from the injury next year he'll probably be a PS candidate.

You know what would fix our problem is if EA made a very large free agent pool of players in the game, but thanks for your hard work

Truegamer put in the serious labor on this file... I agree we need more players in the pool. Clearly they have more space to expand FA pool and the preseason roster was the only roster release I've seen that has done this. They cite FA limits of 286 players... but they don't come close to filling that on their roster releases.

I estimate the average NFL season has roughly 3,000 players that some how are involved during any giving year... whether it's as an Active Roster, Practice Squad guy, or training camp invite. Out of 767 Rookies who were invited to camps... 443 now either sit on an active roster, on a practice squad, or are on IR, 1 is suspended (Terrelle Pryor).

There are 1,952 jobs (53 active roster, plus 8 practice squad, x32 teams). So 1,000+ guys are looking or were looking for an NFL gig at some point each year.

To be fair to EA that is a lot of turnover... Just under 23% of players in the NFL this year, will not be in the NFL next year due to rookie influx. But when you look at titles like NCAA with all the players there it makes you wonder what the problem is? I think it has to do with the dynamic nature of team rosters, by comparison NCAA rosters are much less fluid during a season, whereas a roster is a very fluid thing at the NFL level.

Re: PS3 Preseason Roster with all Active and PS Players

These rosters are amazing. About to start a 32 team franchise and was wondering how well these converted? Capped players such as Adam Weber would go into the FA pool once cut?

Before starting a franchise the one thing I did was to sign as many guys as possible to fill out each roster... eliminating fake created players in the franchise. Once I cut CAP guys in preseason they were added to the FA pool unlike the fake players who just seem to disappear for the most part.

Thats what im talking about why not just make the fa pool like 4000 players or hold endless created players as long as your hard drive will support it, why expand rosters to 75 guys only to release them from teams and delete them from the game. They have all summer to create plenty of rookies to put into the game. I think thier concern is that we wont go get a new game if we can keep the rosters up to date ourselves.

Re: PS3 Preseason Roster with all Active and PS Players

Has anyone managed to play a season with these rosters in Franchise Mode and successfully go into the offseason?

Every since I added these rosters, the franchise freezes on me after the first years superbowl and it asks if I want to go to the front office mode.

I would really appreciate any help someone can give me.

** Can I get a version of this roster without the created players?

The CAPS are the reason the game is freezing like it is.

Well that certainly is frustrating. There is an archive of all EA roster releases (unedited) in another thread. Also... did you try maxing out the rosters for each team with players before entering Franchise Mode? This gets rid of fake created guys and *might also be a workaround for the freeze issue. This means making each roster 75 guys before starting the franchise. A little extra time on the front end and once your in Franchise mode to cut guys... but may allow for more life for the file before a freeze issue occurs. If you have done this let us know.

I've heard of quite a few issues which cause franchise files to freeze thus far.

Re: PS3 Preseason Roster with all Active and PS Players

Mine did the same thing!! I was so pissed. I have to start an entirely new franchise. I am going to do a test first so it doesn't happen again.
I filled my rosters with players who were once on the teams too, mostly players who were on the preseason rosters.
