Are they trying to make the free agent pool as thin as possible or what? They should have only removed retired players from the roster and not players who are still free agents. If I recall, they did this same BS last year but they added the players back to the free agent pool a few updates later.

It may have something to do with lazy *** EA not updating preexisting injuries from last year.

Start a CFM and turn pre-existing injuries on. Go to injury report for the Ravens and you will see Suggs listed with broken ribs. That is what they used last year when he had the acl (or was it achilles?) injury. EA never bothered to update it for this year.

Small in the grand scheme of things, but still unacceptable. Another case of EA cutting corners. Remember how they claimed they completely rewrote the code for connected careers? That is a lie and you can tell by looking at the player card to see their draft spot.

The Bears are missing rookie DE #91 David Bass (who WAS in the initial roster and for some odd reason removed all together??)

They are also STILL missing rookie CB #25 C.J. Wilson out of NC State

Both players have made the team Wilson was with the team all camp and Bass was a pick up off of the Raiders.

Also if all practice squad players are supposed to be there the Bears are also missing rookie UFA CB Demontre Hurst out of Oklahoma who is on Chicago's practice squad.

To his credit Donny Moore did add Michael Ford and Zach Minter and he moved Isaiah Frey to the depth chart BUT in the wrong position as he beat out Zach Bowman for the nickel corner spot after Kelvin Hayden's injury. I tweeted Moore about this telling him Frey had won the job but I guess he's not buying it. lol

With all the issues with the roster updates year after year you would think EA would get Mr. Moore some assistance with putting them together. A Czar he is not. It's only my wet dream that creating accurate rosters for 32 teams was my full-time job for which im sure I was getting paid handsomely for. I think I would pay excruciating attention to detail to make sure I didn't upset my bosses both in the madden community as well as at EA. I wonder if these rosters are the mans ONLY responsibility?

But this year you can start with a 53 man rosters right off the bat and no fake guys will be added. It would just bypass those 2 cuts days because the roster already has the 53 players? Correct? Thanks

yup only 1 cut at the end of preseason to get to 53 man roster. If your team already is trimmed down to 53 your all set from what I've seen.

This.

I don't believe it'd be too hard to get a Practice Squad option in the game, which would pretty much work like IR aside of having them bumped to active.

I've had no problems starting a franchise with my custom 53-man rosters, I've never seen any auto-added players.
