First Roster Update Dilemma

[DeuceDouglas]

I'm beginning to grow a little confused and even a little worried about how the first roster update(s) will be handled when the game drops.

Rosters cut down to 75 players on August 28th which is also the day that Madden officially drops. Less than a week later, rosters cut down to 53 on September 2nd.

Ideally, I'd like to see separate roster updates for both so it still leaves open the option to start a CCM with a full updated 75 man roster and make our own cuts throughout preseason.

Another thing that worries me is how situations like MJD and injured players could be handled. In the past, injured players have always been buried on the depth chart but it was never really an issue. Without the ability to take our own rosters into CCM, will the Jaguars be stuck with MJD at fourth string RB for their entire first season? Will the Eagles start their first season with Foles at QB and a healthy Vick at 3rd string?

How would you guys like to see the initial roster updates handled?

I would hope it only buries them if they're expected to be out for a good length of time. Personally, I don't believe in playing with pre-existing injuries so I'd rather noone be buried because of their health or contract status (unless it's a career threatening injury).

Pretty sure that on M12 when you started a franchise, the cpu would re-order based on overall. So Manning would wind up being the Colts starting QB even though he was buried on the depth chart at the start.

I would guess it would work the same way in M13.

And I don't like the pre-existing injuries either. I always turned them off.

For example, Jahvid Best?

I've never been a fan of the pre-existing injuries either. When I start my franchise, or CCM now, it basically becomes it's own thing and I start it as if it was before camp. I'm really hoping the first roster update isn't for the final 53 because it would pretty much destroy making cuts in the first season. I'd like to shape my own roster.

So, most likely Ryan Tannehill, Jake Locker, Blain Gabbert, and Russel Wilson (if he ends up starter) won't start in someones CC. This is assuming you don't control one of those teams obviously. I'm sure this will really kill peoples immersion you like realism and such.
