Madden NFL 13 Roster Editing Issue Rears Its Ugly Head

[TonyDanzaFan]

If this is out, then I am officially not buying Madden. It's a shame too, because it looked so promising. Looks like I'll just stick with NCAA this year. This has to be one of the most ******** things I have ever seen a developer do.

I'm not concerned about this year, but I typically only buy Madden every other year (I alternate between NHL and Madden)...and now we won't be able to manually edit rosters to correctly portray the 2013 season.

Which means we are now forced to buy Madden every year for updated rosters.

Bummer.

Same thing I said... until I tried it. Some of you folks need to come out from behind the walls you have built up. it doesn't take much effort to find a well run league that supports your individual style of play... Hell I work about 70-75 hours a week, have a 7 month old and 3 year old but still have time to get in 2-3 league games per week.

The devs stated editing will be back, so no.

I don't understand how online leagues work, exactly.

Say it's week 1 and you and I are to play. Of course we'll have to be online at the same time. Are there set times to play? How does this work?

I saw this as well. But there was no time table for its return. We don't know for sure it will be in before Madden 14.

I actually stated 2-3 years ago that Madden would eventually get rid of editing all together, exactly for the reason you outlined: to force people to buy the game each year if they wanted updated rosters. But in this case it does sound like they plan to put it back in the game next year, but who really knows?

I can't speak for all leagues but every successful one I have been in or seen has a forum set up either on a public site or a private one. OS supports leagues, DLG supports leagues, TSO supports leagues. i would say stick with one of those where the support is good. OS has an Online Franchise forum in this Madden section. Say we play week one and it is Monday, the league may advance on say Thursday. You and I have until then to get a time where we can both be available to play. Usually those leagues have a forum on the site for scheduling games. So i would post something like this:

"Browns here, when can you get this in? I'm available from 8pm est til midnight everyday. text, email, or private message me and lets do this."

Off topic I know, sorry.
