I agree and the FA slots are bigger than most people think. What I don't like is just throwing the IR guys in the FA pool. I mean lets look at say Jaymar Johnson (I know he certainly isn't the greatest WR at 59OVR) he broke his thumb and is on IR for the year. But he is in the FA pool with no injury. So if the CPU wants to sign him tomorrow to play, it can. This tramples any realism in franchise mode. My solution in my roster is to set these guys as Punters without changing their stats, basically simulating IR Status so the CPU won't touch them. All you have to do is the next year before the Superbowl go in and edit their positions back to WR or whatever they were and they will be in the FA Pool, or even resign them to the team that they should be on and then set them back to the position that they play. I know its kind of clunky and complicated, but we can't change injury status on the roster so there it is.

Im not touching equipment until after the first week, also I do not handle player ratings.

Why did Gronkowski's rating go down? He was great in the preseason

[X12Celtics3]

Why has Aaron Hernandez' had a stat boost, but Rob Gronkowski got a decrease?

Pre-season Stats
Aaron Hernandez- 7 receptions, 72 yards, 10.3 yds/rec, long of 21 yards, 1 TD
Rob Gronkowski- 7 receptions, 104 yards, 14.9 yds/rec, long of 32 yards, 3 TD

This is ignoring the fact that Gronkowski has been a versatile blocker as well, while Hernandez is basically a pure receiver on the field... don't get me wrong, I really like both players, but I don't understand what happened in the past few weeks to warrant Hernandez getting an increase and Gronkowski getting a decrease.

I thought some appearances (skin shades, Whitehearst beard) were tweaked in this last update

were is chris ivory for the saints ea he has lit up in preseason should at least have a 70 overall

[BigBlue72]

I saw that someone already mentioned this, but what were they thinking getting rid of Andre Brown from the Giants? By the end of the season he could very well be in a dual back system with Bradshaw (Jacobs will most likely get hurt like he usually does).

If anyone should have been taken off of the roster it should be Sorgi. The guy has performed very poorly in camp and he's hurt. I'm not saying remove him from the game, just release him to FA. Or expand the roster from the ridiculous 53-man kind. I know that's the real roster size, but add an IR list which the PSP already has or a practice squad list.
