Madden NFL 11: Another Year Without Full Rosters?

[monkeybutlerz]

I think most of us franchise guys would like to see full rosters, with practice squads, real IR and the ability to not be bogged down by the 53 man roster limit during the off-season (until the cut dates occur, of course). Donny Moore's Twitter seems to imply they'll be sticking with the basic 53 yet again this year.

"Its the middle of May and we are trying to finalize the Madden 11 rosters.....trying to figure out that final 53 man roster now is tough!"

What are your thoughts?

This really sucks. I wonder why they don't allow this... It may be because if they added this they wouldn't just have to make the 1,696 players on the 53 man but more like 1,696 + players and that would take up a lot of time. Other than that though I don't see why they don't add this.

Well for now I ain't assuming nothing. That twit is just meaning the final 53 man roster for then regular season bro. That post means nothing more. We don't know yet what they have done are what they have done to the roster and other things in that department yet. To early to assume anything.

As much as I want 80 man offseason rosters and all of the detail of a real NFL offseason (like compensatory picks, transition tags, and more undrafted free agents), I've almost given up hope.

I would almost be satisfied if they would just bring back practice squads, fix injured reserve, and make a realistic restricted free agency.

That being said, I don't really think you can take that much out of that twitter statement.

Hopefully ,as sort of a consolation prize, they at least get rid of those position requirements(if I want to make a roster with 45 punters, then let me darn it)make us select a 45 man game day roster and make injury reserve clear up the roster spot and cap hit of the player being put on IR.

If they aren't going to add things to the franchise, at least they could correct these things.

NCAA has like what 120 teams with 70 players. Thats a possible 8400 players. Wonder how they get that done in time.

Guys you gotta remember there has to be a 53 man roster for online play. so that doesn't mean anything
