It happens VERY frequently, actually. When you have multiple parts to a project, all with different versions, and different baselines, this kind of stuff is common. It's just too bad no one caught it.

Interesting stuff. The fact that some of the TB rosters have been updated leads credence to the "wrong file theory".

That just naturally he forgot to put some people in, take some out, or just created some people for fun. Its easy to have forgotten when you have to make sure WR#19 have the same gold tooth and scar over his left eye. All jokes aside...

Where was the joke in there?

And i mean, we're not really doing anything right now except wait. Anyone else on board with this idea? Cause Syracuse's rosters are the exact same as last year, and they haven't changed anyones positions or added any of our (horrible) freshmen yet.

Could you please stop posting the same thing in this thread? You've suggested this at least twice already within the same thread. Please stop.

How about you leave a comment that actually suggests a fix or keeps with the discussion instead of whining about other people's posts.

You didn't. But your tone in the post (and other posts about EA's flaws) have give that impression (at least to me). We shouldn't be in a position to "hope for the best" and "what's done is done." Not EVERY year!

Sorry, I just can't believe this is happening, again.

For teams whose rosters aren't perfect, they're atrocious, and that makes playing as our favorite team as annoying as a mosquito bite - tolerable, but you know something ain't right and it bugs the hell out of you.

Spead was a Junior last year

So I should start bashing EA, slamming the devs, and basically throw a temper tantrum on a message board, in order to show that I'm disappointed that this is indeed an issue?

I don't like this situation anymore than the next person on this forum, but I just choose to remain optimistic that something will be done to remedy the situation. No amount of bashing, slamming, or insults is going to change whats been done nor the situation as it stands.

And if something isn't done, then I'll make decision then on whether or not the game is worth the price of admission.

WOW!! I just logged on Teambuilder to see for myself how wrong the rosters are. I'm doing UNC and using the 2009 UNC Media Guide. Like everyone's been saying: freshman aren't there, seniors are still there, wrong numbers and positions, etc.
There's also another problem. Please tell me they aren't restricting names because of supposed offensive language. There's a guard named Mike ****s on UNC. I can't put his last name... SWEET EA!!! I'm hoping this is only for Teambuilder.

I just finished the UNC rosters and there are 16 players that had the wrong numbers and positions. I'm now going to try to get all of the remaining players on the Media guide and see if they fit into the descriptions of those 16 wrong Teambuilder players.
