I have restarted offline franchise a few times, erasing old ones. Finally decided to play and stick with one team. I'm a Lionsfan, but they are now dead to me

.
Playing with Steelers, and having same issues as everyone else. Players getting cut, and some not available in free agent pool. SO, the question is: if i start a new offline franchise, after downloading a new roster - do I need to use a full pre-season 75 man roster and cut it down myself? Not sure my ADD (self diagnosed) will allow me to do this. If this is what is necessary, that's fine, just want to know if this will give me real roster.
I thought the rosters were supposed to get updated weekly even offline, and it would change and be reflected in your franchise. That's probably a stretch. Would be cool if it updated your squad, but I'd probably complain about that too. Just really want to start season with all my players.
Thanks
