No Kevin white is on PUP. These guys will return at some point this season. They are not in IR. If it bothers u don't allow Geno to play in your cfm.

He's in the game under Lamike James. On Dolphins depth chart.

To get the most accurate 53 man roster are you guys cutting players that are on IR irl? Just seems weird to have to cut Orlando Scandrick.

No IR players can't be traded, or cut I believe..they don't count against your 53 as long as you put them on IR

You cant cut IR players and you shouldnt need to. A player on IR doesnt count against the roster limit. But there is an issue with that in pre season apparently. Once you get to the regular season it is fine. So if you can cut enough guys to get to the 53 man limit in pre season you can resign some guys from FA afterwards without having to cut anyone.

How are you are stopping the computer from auto reordering the rosters. I took control of Bills, Skins, Texans, etc to get their QB updated and then I'd "retire" and the rosters would go right back. ANGERS ME! Josh Gordon and Justin Blackmon going to the top of the depth chart (Blackmon has 10 rec, 171 yds week 1 &#128545

.

Are you all just taking over all teams and putting them on auto pilot? Will they still make moves, trades, etc.?

Wish you could just turn this off and use the same ratings as the rosters in Play Now. It can be a mess...

Can you explain how you go about it? I've never done it. Thanks!

update looks good - i haven't gotten around to scour for missing players - but starters are on point

Well, we created our CCM today after the new roster was issued.

There seem to be a lot of players injured with ACL tears and out for the whole season. Nearly every team is affected.

Has anyone else had this problem because some teams have 6-7 players out for the season?

They do have the same ratings, it's just that OVR is calculated differently.

For example, for a RB in a power running offense strength might be 15% of the OVR, but in a speed run offense it might only be 10%. He has the same ratings and plays the same either way, he just has a different OVR.

What the game doesn't get is that coaches tailor game plan to personnel, not only the other way around. If a team had a shot at Andrew Luck and they've run a mobile QB offense in the past they're going to change their offense, not choose Geno Smith instead.

I understand. I'm just an old school Madden player and don't like that aspect of the franchise mode.

If using pre existing injuries, all player on i.r. in real life will be listed as acl and out for 35+ weeks.

Also note that the i.r. does work in pre season finally. You will have to cut down to 53 non i.r. players and have the required minimums. But unlike pre patch and last year the cpu will recognize the i.r. separate and not cut and sign. Players at the end of week 4 in the pre season.

I have not fully tested this issue but in my online cfm it worked. Currently testing in my offline 32 team with positive results.

One note, when starting with pre existing injuries and players on i.r. you must make sure your active players meet the required amounts for cut down day. The main menu (main tasks ) will say cut x players. If you have the correct amount of active (non i.r.) players You don't need to cut. Am going to verify possible menu to roster cut screen mixed messages.

I don't understand why he's not there. Most of the players that are missing are free agents or on the PS, but he's on the active 53 man roseter.

If you use these rosters to start a new CFM and they are the 53 man rosters why is the CPU cutting anyone during preseason?

While the rosters are technically "53 man rosters" they actually have more than 53 players. Some of the practice squad players are on the rosters. As the HUMAN player I actually had to cut 10 people off of my own rosters during the preseason as well.

Thanks, so there is no practice squad in the game right?

Can anyone tell me what Vick's rating is as the Steelers back up QB?

I was hoping that by waiting for the 53 man roster update, I would be able to use that roster to start the regular season. I was surprised to see that the game was simulating the preseason and making cuts. I guess I will be going with restarting my CFM, using the 53 man roster update, and starting with pre-season play. This should give everyone in my league a chance to get familiar with how M16 plays at any rate.
