Glad that their not making us just use one. Giving us the option to use either or.

For one, I play with the Chiefs so they need to move one of the RB's to FB so we can cut Bannon. Second. I would like the CPU teams to be accurate. Well until someone signs McNabb.

You're right. You need to read the post a little closer.

In every single one of my CC's TO gets cut after the 2nd week and McNabb signed with the Browns, along with the tweets being the exact same. So this several day break of release day and CCM roster release day is just EA's way to kink out the bugs for this script, because editing postiions and ratings will force the script and twitter feed to work out in a different way, which will always be the same way like it is now. Which is, IMO, most likely the reason they never put custom rosters in the first place.

Its not hard to cut the same players, but in some cases, the 75 man roster originally released, is incorrect. For example... Vontae Davis still with Miami. The Miami roster in the first update for CCM also fails to include some players on the team at the time, like backup center Josh Samuda, who made the team.

I love the game and all, but I worry about the quality of these roster updates. What I dont get, is why not release the 53 man rosters for play now and CCM, AND include the teams practice squad players as well. Then if you use them for CCM, you can cut those guys if you don't want them on your active roster and they should at least be in the FA pool. Or, it would be really great if you could just have the ability to have a 60 man roster, and choose your actives/inactives and practice squads. I shouldn't have to start a CCM, missing guys in the game on my PS that I may want to bring onto the active roster through my season. Better yet, I shouldn't have to play without some players that should be on the team simply because EA didn't update the rosters properly. Of course I'll reserve judgement until I see the rosters, but the whole thing just seems strange. Of course, any update is better than none at all though I suppose.

FYI... before the Madden homers jump on my case for "bashing" here... I actually really enjoy the game. Always have. I'm just irritated by the whole "locked" roster issue.

In one CC, I had McNabb sign with the Vikings doe.

I want to know how EA is going to have Demarcus Dobbs of the Niners playing two positions both TE and DE, since you can't change players positions?

And what about players that are not on the game. How do you suggest those "negative nancy's" fix that problem?

But they won't . In preseason and presumably throughout the year CPU teams will sign FAs ie McNabb to Browns so by wk 1 you'll still have *fantasy* rosters in CCM unless you manually change it back every week

true or they could do like they did last year and add the 8 extra Pratice Squad Guys if Donny decides to do that again then he can Add FB Patrick DiMarco and add WR's Josh Bellamy And OG Rich Raglin then add Edger Jones

outside of that the roster is pretty much set as Paterson,Newson,Mims,Thorpe and Long are already on the roster

so hopefully he goes back to this route it never hurts to have the extra guys go chiefs!!!

I got a question guys! I'm using in my CCM the update CCM roster, it asked me to download when I got the game. If I install monday 53 man roster update, does it mean that I will never be able to use it again if i start a new CCM? Will this new roster be saved over the one 75 man roster update i�m using?

Just reread who you were quoting the first time, and yeah they were complaining about having to wait, as opposed to there being 53 man rosters at all.

So, on topic, glad these rosters are coming out. I kind of assumed they would, but you never know. It's also not certain that these rosters will be any good, but I like the idea of them doing the work and not us. I only post here in random spurts, but have used the forum quite a bit for rosters and sliders, etc. Some of the work done by people here has been phenomenal, but at some point I want to just play the friggin' game, so the more playable it is from the get go the better.

I don't expect it to be perfect, but I just want it to be close, especially since the default rosters are pretty far off in many cases.

# 35 Tweeg @ 09/05/12 06:02 PM

If you're going to take away our ability to edit rosters ourselves, then you should be giving us an update every week AT LEAST.

at any one time you can only choose to start a CC with either the latest update or the default roster on the disc
If you want to go back to a prevous update your best bet is to start one now and *bank* it to use later
How *patches* will work with previously started CCs however is as yet unpublished

# 37 illwill10 @ 09/05/12 06:16 PM

This is something I expected, but was hoping it wasnt so. I really want to start my CCMs, but want current rosters.

# 38 blklightning @ 09/05/12 06:32 PM

Well this is fine by me since CCM is unplayable right now.

# 39 Nexgenrulz @ 09/05/12 06:36 PM

Any news on a roster update this weekend for the Vita?

# 40 Dazraz @ 09/05/12 06:38 PM

Forget the Roster Update, where's the patch?
