Well it's tricky but we take early season success and combine it with historical data, our Trevor Story is lower

I would say right now 5-6 people but overall probably 20-25 since this is based on last year as well

And furthermore, could Bigfoot beat a yeti in a fight? If so, how many yeti could Sasquatch pummel? I will hang up and listen to your response.

# 45 TheBleedingRed21 @ 04/15/16 12:24 PM

Super excited for all of this. Great work that I've seen so far guys. Really appreciate it.

You know, I said and swore I was not waiting this year and firing up my franchise, well got 3 games in so far due to work, I figured they are this close, I'm caving. I'll be waiting and ready to download soon as they release!

# 46 Jeffrey Smith @ 04/15/16 12:31 PM

I'm not on twitter so i'll be looking for a recap on the forums here.

Have fun tonight guys.

They're all in divorce proceedings......I kid, I kid.

In fact, it's healthy for guys to have "hobby time." And you know what they say about couples...those who edit rosters together, stay together. Doesn't quite rhyme the way it should, but you get the idea.

# 51 Gagnon39 @ 04/15/16 01:13 PM

A Q&A session about rosters... um. Okay. I wonder what the first question will be. Maybe I'm the only one thinking it's weird to have a Q&A session.

Lol I actually just laughed out loud at a bored meeting right now reading this, but yes the fact that we have families and jobs does somethings get in the way lol all joking aside though it is a serious commitment for a few solid weeks a year but they get used to it lol.

It's for fun man, it's just to give some guys pics and info before release and build some excitement, not rocket science and nothing serious.... Remember guys it's a Video Game lol

# 54 WhiteBunny @ 04/15/16 01:43 PM

Thanks guys for all your hard work.

# 55 ApolloKids @ 04/15/16 01:51 PM

I'm not sure if it's worse to passive aggressively needle people making something for you for free or to treat the needling people like they have committed a war crime by daring to question the almighty roster makers for a video game. It's probably the latter, actually. I think we all love and appreciate the work the roster makers do. Anytime there is a hazy eta with anything hotly anticipated there will be anxiousness for the arrival. No need to white knight for people who are creating 20 year old baseball players in a video game.

Seriously? Yeti are basically abominable snowmen...if anything, Sasquatch would be at a disadvantage here in the snow. *scoff*

Haha.

I think excitement is at a fever pitch. Don't have to worry about that. Just funny to me that we're not allowed to ask questions... and then there's a Q&A session. And yes, it's a video game, but we all obviously take it quite seriously as indicated by the fact that we're all on a sports video game forum, talking about a Q&A session about a roster where people created practically every minor league player in the game.

Either way, I look forward to the rosters but I only have one question. Which will be the same one for 99.9% of us, but I'm not asking it.....

Like I said in my earlier post, no need to ask that question as I will give the best available update that I can...... Trust me it's worth the wait, we won't rush it out just to get it out but by tonight I should have a very good window for you guys at the very least

We want it even higher lol... Seriously I have been creating rosters for over 25 years in some form or fashion and this is by far and away the most accurate representation you will find for any game ever released, I have been involved in other sports games such as NBA2k and Madden rosters but this set this year is well worth the hype.... If you are thinking about starting your franchise before they drop I would hold off, it's well worth it
