Pretty much summed up my entire feelings with this post.

I get that this specific EA dev crew is new, but it's the same brain behind the machine.

Guys the real answer is simple.. they want us to buy madden 2012, can you imagine have that much free roster?? we could create whoever we wanted have it unlimited we wouldnt have to buy madden again, this year looks like the same game as 2010 the first year I have never been pumped for it its just upgraded rosters but they know people like me will buy it for that reason

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

requriments really piss me off, there was a bug last year EA rosters would let us play even if a team had 2 DTs (come on alot of teams use a 3-4 and only carry 2 of them not 3) but anyway EA rosters would work for a few weeks of a franchise without the minimums then all of a sudden a bug will happen and say I have to few Ts etc etc even though I had no injuries the week before

I think their past should pretty much tell everyone that we are gonna be stuck with just the 53 again for madden 11...

look at how the show does it... they have every single thing about rosters in the game that are in real life. 5 rule draft, waivers and some other ones that i didn't even know about...

the main problem is that the madden team doesn't wanna confuse their target audience of 8-16 yr old little boys...

Then they would have to make 2012 a game worthy of being bought. If they fix franchise in '11 I'd buy 12 with improved presentation, real time stats from other games, the ongoing draft dialog with Schefter from NFLN they had in Head Coach.

And they better have new consoles by 2012-3. I've had this 360 for almost 5 years now.

hmmm... Good question. I'm not entirely sure. Now I've run out of excuses...

The issue isn't about full rosters. It's about realistic gameplay. Something the Madden series lacks.

Well, though, there is a big difference. The NCAA guys don't need permission to put players in their game since they don't use names. They also can basically throw random ratings in for the lesser known players.

In Madden, in order to put the extra 1000ish players in the game that would be necessary to be able to compile 80 man rosters with actual players, they would have to do a lot more work. Especially since a lot of those guys might not be on a team for long and would need to be compensated for being in the game (not sure how that works if a player isnt actually in the NFL). It would also be pretty tough to be accurate with the players.

That being said, I want 80 man rosters so bad... I wouldn't even care if they just added a huge list of randomly generated players you could add in the offseason. They could make it easier in franchise mode by giving us 400-500 rookies per offseason instead of the current 250ish.
