Maybe, I think there are two possibilities.

Option A: Honest mistake by someone on the dev team with the roster file chosen for the final build, accidentally grabbed a roster file from the early stages of redoing the rosters for 2010. Hopefully it is a fix, and we will see

Option B: Lawsuit froze roster editing process. To anyone that thinks that this is impossible really needs to think about it hard. EA get's hit with a lawsuit, the most likely thing the very expensive lawyers tell EA is freeze anything and everything you are doing with your rosters at this point until we know what to do.

I personally don't blame teambuilder, I think it's a good new addition to the game, especially with the website... and it definitely helped the community catch a problem before we all had the game in hand. The dev team has acknowledged the problem and are trying to fix it, we can only hope it gets fixed, something this major never happens again, and that they build off this game for next years with more additions the community wants.

The possibilities that you have suggested are too logical.

For the powers that be: If the rosters are being re-created from scratch or even updated before patching/release, etc., Vandy has released a 2009 Roster (oddly devoid of freshmen, so maybe EA wasn't too far off ) with number and position changes.

Seeing as how there's no official channel for this (and one could assume that the "roster guy" should be on this, and every other team), I'll just leave it here.

It's not odd at all to not list freshman or at least have them numbers assigned unless they enrolled early or something. Otherwise they don't necessarily have to be assigned numbers until the Fall.

Exactly.

Yes, I am glad that they caught this while there still may be time. Please go back and look at Michigan STates entire roster. There is no way this team should be the lowest rated team in the B10 and worse than many non-BCS teams after going 9-3 last year and to the Capital One Bowl. On top of that they had a top 20 recruiting class last year with 10 4* players. They are rated below teams that are honestly just terrible. Many publications have them finishing tied for 2nd in the B10.

Not to come off as a prick or anything, but if teambuilder is the reason this was caught early, what were the QA guys doing exactly?
