So is the 46 man gameday rosters or whatver the # is in madden this year? I know it was in the past Head Coach game

just push the date back... the new rules would impact franchise mode in a better way.. no more greedy *** rookies and what not. EA knew about the lock out and they knew rules would change. where's the sense of effort anymore?

Come on man. It has nothing to do with effort. They can't push the date back. They have a deal with the NFL regarding a yearly release and a time frame for it.

Not to mention they would lose money by releasing the game in season. It wouldn't be practical from a business standpoint.

An utterly impractical and ridiculous idea IMO

That's kind of the point though. So EA won't push it back and lose money but they will release a game that is not true to the game and gamers will suffer.

It's an integrity issue imo. Not being a ***, but if it's in the game, it's in the game.

I don't think it's utterly ridiculous at all to suggest that the game should be pushed back.

This is a real issue with developers. There is a lack of integrity there. The truth is utterly ridiculous?

So it's utterly ridiculous for a gamer to say that, but it's ok for EA to release a game like that? Seems a bit hypocritical. Just seeing both sides is all.

I actually love risking it all on a first rounder and hoping they are not a bust. Makes it more interesting.......

I think you misunderstood me. I never said it was ridiculous to "suggest" pushing it back. Its ridiculous to think they will push it back. Its also ridiculous to bash EA for not pushing it back. They simply cannot do it.

In a perfect world the game should be released when its done. So gamers suggesting it be pushed back is totally justified. I would totally be ok with it being pushed back 3 months if thats what it took to get a great football game. Only problem is, it will never happen.
