It'd be kinda silly to expect EA to be able to implement the CBA rule changes this late in the process. The confirmation of a opening-day roster update, though expected at this point, is reassuring, however.

I'm pretty sure everyone expected a roster update on launch and it is very much appreciated.

They should have pushed the release date back further so they could implement the new CBA rules.

That might be the silliest suggestion I've ever heard.

To be honest we will mainly miss the following.
- Madden rookies will continue to ask for salary and contract length based on old rules (so QB taken number 1 will be silly money), where as IRL they have to have 4 yr contract at x amount on the new scale set. (I think Cam is getting about £22m).
- I think in madden you had no minimum salary spend so you could "sacrifice a year" to go big the following year. IRL its 90% you have to spend before season starts.

As long as the AI knows how to wheel and deal (to some extent) with the old CBA, I'll be happy.

Not unexpected. I don't blame them for this at all. I would rather see them leave it alone, rather than try to put the new CBA into the game and have a lot of bugs within the newly promoted franchise mode.

Still I don't mind that the new CBA rules couldn't be put in due to the late date. Salary cap is wonky in Madden anyway, as they never fixed the glitch where you could change a 99 overall QB to a P, and sign him for really cheap.
EA is going to have their work cut out for them to get the rosters and depth charts updated in time for release.
the new CBA rules wont be a game changer for me, as the status quo for salary cap whould be fine, I never gutted a team to below 90% of the cap anyways. Only thing it will affect is the outrageous rookie pay scale, but I typically draft in the middle to late parts of a round so doesn't have the impact of a top 10 drafted player.

I applaud them for this...not much they can do except offer a roster update
this roster thing sucks for those of us who refuse to pay for Xbox Live Gold.

i am kinda of surprised that they were not making a way to implement this stuff in. i would think if they have restricted free agents it would be as easy as changing part of the code for what year they become a RFA. The rookie scale i understand but with that being said cant they again change part of the code to lower how much the draft picks will ask for. I think that would be enough to appease most of us franchise die hards.

Far as the new CBA rules for salary cap not been in this year is fine. It really ain't a big deal to be honst. Glad to hear there will be a roster update day of the release from the start.
Got to love it.
