Madden NFL 12 Title Update #2 Details

[C the Lyte]

I've read the whole "Undrafted Free Agents Invading Franchise" but can't really get an accurate grasp about how bad the issue is (just now starting my franchise).

Exactly how horrible is it? Just wondering because, despite what a lot of people think or say, EA is pretty good @ delivering fixes for bugs and glitches in their games (better than most). And for them not to consider UnDrafted FA's a problem, I must question exactly how terrible it is...

Bam, nailed it.

Nothing like those $60 patches. They work every time.

There's FAKE, random players that are on every teams' rosters when u first start ur franchise...Some of them get kept on a team's roster because they have a higher *potential* then current players even tho they really stink....Hence, draft picks (in some cases, HIGH draft picks) get cut in favor of these fake scrubs....U decide how terrible this is?

I see the disdain here... Not liking the initial blow of fake players being kept and actual, sometimes high draft picks that are real players, being cut.

But, one way or another, after a while, everyone on the game is fake, whether using Madden created draft picks or NCAA classes.

Some being...what number?

However, teams keeping some of these players because they have a higher potential really doesn't seem too far fetched to me. However, cutting players drafted that year in favor of udfa is disappointing. My question is though, to what extent?

I believe he was trying to say that the CPU see's that a player rating is high before their real rating is revealed which keeps that player on the team. The cpu cut logic is just terrible plain and simple. Also they should not be cutting draft picks to make room on the depth chart for udfa.

I can't give u an exact number because I controlled all 32 teams so I cut all of the UDFA's from each team's roster before Week 1 of the preseason so I wouldn't have to go through that mess However, teams keeping some of these players because they have a higher potential really doesn't seem too far fetched to me.

Got it, thanks for clearing it up. Like I said, I have not got to this point in my franchise as I just started.

So on to the bigger question, why does EA NOT consider this an issue???
