Madden NFL 17: The Practice Squad Changes Roster Building

yes multiple. If you have young players especially rookies who are 70+ they're basically as good as gone in my experience.

I love the idea, but wish it was implemented better. We should really have some type of notification that a team is interested in a player and have the ability to adjust before he's gone from your team. For me it doesn't add much to actual roster building it's simply a pool of players I have available in case of injury.

It's everything I've hoped for and needed in CFM. Very useful. Now we just need an accurately functioning Active roster, PUP list and actual waiver system for FA.

I disagree. Maybe the only notification should be a mention of a rumor on the twitter newsfeed.

The user should be the one to do their homework by keeping tabs on injuries and roster moves.

So I am just wondering like what is the point in having a player on the practice squad? Do you get more XP for a player if he is on that instead of just being a back up player who never plays or something?

Assuming it's safe to say this isn't on the PS3 version (I assume Madden 17 on PS3 is merely a roster update). Any one know for sure?

Did you get a notification that the other team stole that player? If I'm not mistaken... if a team tries to snap up a PS player, the team who presently has him on the PS has the right to sign them to their active roster instead of him going to the other team trying to claim him to their active roster.


Does that happen here in Madden? Or is the guy just simply gone with nothing you can do about it.


Edit... I see by some other responses that it doesn't work that way.. That's... not cool.

There isn't a right of first refusal in the NFL for practice squad players.
