Did they just fix it? I thought you were saying the 53 man roster wasn't available offline just a minute ago.

I'm ok with it to a point...but there are times when a position has nobody listed, and that's ridiculous. I was looking through LT's in probably round 5 or 6, and there were NONE left until round 7 when the new list populated.

Can anybody post some pictures of the fantasy draft? From what I've gathered it sounds like you only have a choice of a few players until more are available? So does this mean you have 10 of each position or the top 50 overall that are available or what? I will be looking to draft some players that i have a liking for early, and if they aren't there obviously I won't be able to. Example would be LB Lavonte David from the Bucs. Since he's young his overall is in the mid-70's. Does this mean he won't show up till late?

So the fantasy draft is actually not really a full "Fantasy Draft"!?

Oh EA, you are so clever in your ways!

One thing I don't like about fantasy draft is that they changed the player's contracts. For instance, first round picks all have the same deal (5 years 60mil).

Yea, you won't see people in the mid 70's until later in the draft...probably after the first re-population of the list, which is about round 7. Might even be later, but the good news is the CPU teams can't take those players until they show up, either. (at least I don't think)

There's definitely more than the top 50 and/or 10 of each position. I'd probably say closer to the top 20 of each position...didn't count them.
