I gave it a try for the first time in 4 years this year, and I probably wont want to give it another try for another 4. MONEY drives them, not their customer's satisfaction.

Unfortunately, boycotting a monopoly is realistically impossible. You have 5 million casual fans of which forums like these comprise less than 1% and a corporation + NFL combination aiming to maintain the current high profit scenario.

Depressing, but a good solution has yet to be found.

What I did was give him max shoulder pad height and I'm going to see if that will just make him look like he's wearing Ronnie Lott/Dennis Smith-era pads. I also have an OG who weighs in at 265 or something. There's no reason for that. Even if the dude was good I can't countenance that. What I'd do with that case is move him to FB. Other than the pads and the occasional odd weight (not all UFAs are off weight wise--the FS is 6-0, 210), I like the UFA system. I think this year I have 9 or so who have a legitimate shot to make the final roster. That's a high number, but I'm running with KC, and we have needs at several spots. I'd rather build through walk-ons and the draft than go snap up the highest rated FA so my team has monster depth.

I don't mind having UDFAs in the game, I have only kept 1 so far, 6'8 277 lb tight end that was pretty solid other than his awareness.

The problem comes with the computer thinking they are 99 overall, and cutting a player that is a 73 overall rookie with A potential to keep one of these UDFAs that ends up being 40 overall with F potential.

The league becomes flooded with 40 overall F rated players..half of which are affected by the appearance issues, making the NFL look like a circus.

OK, that's not good. I didn't want to edit those guys down but I may if it winds up doing that to the game. I'm still just a bit puzzled as to why I can't edit that but I can edit other stuff.

The releasing of players that are actually better in favor of UFAs is fine by me if it's done to a reasonable degree. Real life teams don't exactly know who will pan out. But if it's rampant, then that's another issue.

CAN WE GET THE WIND METER FIXED??? CANT TELL WHICH WAY THE WIND IS BLOWING???

im guess the shoulder pad problem is because of the lack of weight that the rookies come in with dealing with the linemen, backers etc.. iwish they would jus scrap the ultimate team & superstar mode and focus on the needed stuff in franchise, online & play now.. they game would prob be where it should be realism wise if they didnt try to come up with new things each year that isnt needed & just focus on fixing the basiscs that are missing every year.. AND LET US USE OUR OWN MUSIC IN GAME, never was a fan of their soundtracks

It's ashame that EA doesn't feel our (the buyers of their game) frustration. They obviously don't have a very competent quality control department. I can't stand the fact I STILL do business with a company like this. It my fault they put out such a low quality product...I keep buying it!!

This is not a low quality product, Sir.
