Both obviously have a lot of pros and cons. It's tough to say for me. Because it some ways I want complete customization and in some ways, I love having almost all of the real players.

Completely real because without them, there is no game. Period.

I tend to agree. The benefits far outweigh the negatives. I understand why some prefer fictional, but I agree with you.

Yes I love the real roster. Cut down on time on roster creators having to rename everyone

The roster is fully fictional within 5 years anyway, unless there are medical redshirts. Real rosters for sure!

Re: Would you have Preferred a Completely Fictional Rosters or the Real Rosters?

At this point, fictional. I feel like the game's potential is gridlocked because they catered to these NIL kids instead of fans / consumers more so. Give me wide open rosters to edit, and limit me to 25 or so of the most generic head styles possible. I don't care if a player model looks exactly like the real kid with their helmet off and posing on the sidelines, etc. I care about the product on the field more than anything, and that requires none of how a kid 100% looks off the field.

For everyone of you (or even if it's EA Sports themselves) that might respond with trying to label me or anyone with my perspective as just some entitled person. That's BS. It's also incredibly contradictory to turn around and defend the choice to enable a few thousand kids thinking they've achieved and derserve celebrity status enough to such fearful, catered to degrees. EA paid out NIL money to even have this hassle and gridlock and still very much expects us to pay into their company exponentially more. And then if they / those of you just expect everyone to deal with it and suck it up? That sounds pretty entitled, too. So, at the very least, we have a double-edged sword of perspectives. My stance, at this point in time (because they can remedy everything if they want to) has to stay that the game has incredibly muted potential, and it's directly because of NIL.

I would honestly like the option to choose between a roster full of NIL and such that I can't edit, or allow me a fully generic roster that I can edit to the fullest (just limit the face / head options). Maybe that's the perfect compromise.
