Typically EA will leave them off the depth chart.

I've never used community rosters for Madden, always have used the roster updates. After heading over to the roster forum, I didn't notice a specific dominant community roster update, something like oh OSFM is for MLB the show. If the EA update that launches tonight is missing a ton of players, I'll probably use a community roster. Is there a particular community roster for Xbox that comes highly recommended by the OS folks?

OK, thanks. Seems like there are A LOT of players suspended this year. Makes keeping the rosters as realistic as possible a bit tricky.

On Twitter Equipment Guru just said "rosters are on their way, let's all take a big exhale, you shall get your fix."

Because EA said the ones today would be innacurate and missing players. Just thought if there was a good alternative out there as the post I quoted earlier suggested, Id at least give them a look if the the EA roster releases and its missing Steelers (I dont care about any other teams accuracy really).

I just got prompted to download a roster. It looks the same tho hmm.

Anyone know if the EA website with the player search functions will be updated when the rosters are? I'm stuck at work for a while longer and just curious to see some changes.
