EA Sports has clarified the new CBA rules for Madden NFL 12 will not make it in this year. They also noted that updated rosters with all free agent moves will be available at launch.
Quote:
Due to the new CBA being implemented so late in our development cycle, we were unable to include the new CBA rules in Madden NFL 12.
Others have been asking if we would be able to patch the new CBA rules in after launch...
Due to the complex nature of the new rules and the current structure of in-game data and AI, we're not able to patch in the new CBA rules.
For those of you asking, there will be a full downloadable roster update at launch that will reflect all the various free agency changes.
