Re: Roster update

This would be a great addition. I play on PS4 Pro and I’m telling you this would be great to have. If we can at anytime import the latest rosters into our online franchise

Re: Roster update

How would this even work. Imagine if you made a trade for someone but then you could import new rosters. It would have to reset every teams roster every time you did it. It makes no sense.

The whole point with franchise is once you start it you are now in a separate world.

I’m always for people playing how they want but how do you think is even logistically possible?

I get what ur saying but it only updates if you choose same option you have with importing draft classes that’s how it would work on online leagues the commish can be the only one to allow that there should be an option to lock any updates on that kind of league this would mostly be for people that have offline leagues or just playing against the AI.

Re: Roster update

So what you are saying is you want to do a franchise where you only play the games and don’t worry about roster control? Same with any injuries in games you play. You don’t want them to count?

I like realism in my games to play with the players my team actually has each week I would love to make the decisions on how many players I can take to the game for instance I believe you can take only 45 players to any game. But when a player comes off IR I want that implemented in the game through accessing updated roster during an already active CFM everyone plays this game differently it sometimes fills that on here u get crucified for your opions this is not life or death or anything it’s not politics it’s just what I would like implemented in the game

Re: Roster update

No one is "crucifying" you mate. I think that the questions raised about the logistical challenges (and even just the sheer logic of the request) here are quite valid.

Here's the thing. Something like what you're asking for would require a ton of work for something a tiny number of users would want. Most people pick a roster, start a CFM and tell their own stories (which is the full 'sim' experience). CFM isn't designed to mimic real life, it's designed to be an RPG where we play the role of a coach/owner and make those tough decisions based on what happens in the games that we play. Now, you clearly are questioning the intent/design of the mode - and that's cool, we all want different things. I just think you'll never see what you're asking for in terms of an "import" functionality - no sports game has that.

The best solution would be for EA to allow users to manually edit injuries both within the front-end roster menu and within CFM. If you wanted to mimic injuries, you could manually set them by controlling all 32 teams. This would be a broader based design choice that would add value for a significantly larger volume of players.

Manual application and editing of injuries would be a major boon to roster editors , both individuals and uploaders who add to many of your/ our experience with the game

I wasn't trying to "crucify" your request or your opinion. In fact I said earlier everyone should play the game the way they want, I always think more options is better in a game like this.

I was asking legitimate questions, without judging you, beyond trying to figure out how what you are asking for would even work from a programming or logistical standpoint and trying to think about how you fix the problem of whatever happened in the game the week before with your team mattering except for the win or the loss. I was just trying to figure out "exactly" what you were looking for.

It's not a judgement, it's just wrapping my head around what you were asking for.

Re: Roster update

I think your best bet is to do the Play Now game which tracks your real life team and let's you play their current week match up. You'd just have to track your record yourself.

Re: Roster update

Im not sure about the logistics behind importing whole rosters but question for all the "franchise isnt supposed to mimic reality" folks..

If Russ Wilson was traded to the Jets in real life and you are in week 6 of your franchise.. Do you not mimic this trade?

If the 4th string RB on the Rams who is rated a 58 ends up playing IRL and has 5 straight 200 yd rushing games and looks to be the next Walter Payton, do you just leave him as a player who's gonna get cut and be out of the league in your franchise ?

As somebody who has tried to do this in the past , that is to say mimic a real NFL season including injuries, transactions and break outs / declines , I can say it doesn't really work well.


Big trades aren't really too much of an issue to replicate , and have similar effects to real life .

However its the multitude of more under the radar transactions that occur doing every NFL season that tend to cause problems . Many / most of these are teams reaction to injury and consequently make little sense unless you can effectively mimic real life injuries , resulting in issues with roster numbers . ( eg. teams signing multiple WR irl due to injury who don't have that problem in your CFM )

Without the ability to force injury in the game ( lowering the injury rating has little impact for non ball carriers ) mimicking injury is almost impossible.

I always heavily edit the roster to my taste anyway so continuing to do so during a CFM when presented with additional data ( at least on teams other than my primary) isn't an issue for me at least.

The addition of manual injury editing within CFM would make this a more viable process , and make the OPs request redundant as long as he's willing to do some work himself.


EDIT : I misread the the post and didn't answer the question, answering the opposite question , but left this in place as it makes at least one valid point
