Even the ps2 does such as after 2005 the playbooks didnt change. The same offense plays just kept being repeated along with the same defense as well kept being the same. So to sit back on your high horse and act like the games dont have issuse is a joke. Now im not a nextgen advocate but to spend money that in todays world is hard to come by. U should get the most from it. With out online playing and no roster updates and no communities or leagues. You just throwing money away. Yes the ps2 game was nice and fun and the gameplay was great but in life things move on. Keep up the fight that fine but it would be better to move into the present and be better serve for it. Peace ALC

I never once said there wernt any flaws for the PS2 version. Trust me there are, but honestly why would u care if someone plays this version or any current gen. Everyone looks for a different experience. If I wanted online and everything else I would of shelled out the 60 for madden 12. But I mainly play franchise offline so all the other stuff doesn't bother me. And we both have the same point that buying an incomplete game is dumb so why keep mentioning it? If u have to patch a game obviously there's something missing IE incomplete. For me personally I like both gens of games but that's the thing, its a personal choice. You act like someone has to conform to one game. If doing rosters and all this other stuff for a game is what I wanna do then why worry about it? All games have issues but it's not even about that, I just prefer ps2 for now.

LOL!

Dude, ALC, you have things all messed up...

First off, I have been doing roster edits for PS2 Madden every year since '03 and will continue to do them until they stop making the game for PS2.

I actually find it fun and it's an easy way for me to stay up to date with the moves that take place around the league. It helps me get familiar with new players, etc...

Secondly, you brought up money being hard to come by. The only video game that I play AT ALL is Madden. So why would I drop $360+ on a system/game that I find less satisfying than an older version that I find more satisfying and only costs $40? $360+ for PS3 and Madden with less satisfaction? OR $40 for PS2 Madden with 100% more satisfaction? You do the math.

And finally, the franchise mode for PS2 is widely known as the best video game feature of all time... New-gen's franchise mode sucks really bad! I never played the game online, so I could care less about that... And I find the gameplay for PS2 much more crisp and clean than the gameplay experience on new-gen. Granted, there are flaws for the PS2 version, and basically all we are paying for now (and have been since '09) are new roster pictures and new rookies entering the league. And I'm fine with that... If I choose to spend my little $40 dollars on a PS2 vesion of a game that has been out on new-gen for 5 years, so be it. Why does that irk you so much?

I love my PS2 Madden, and I will ride it until the wheels fall off. (Because as far as I'm concerned, seeing as we have at least ten people that are interested in the rosters here, they haven't fallen off just yet!!!!!)

Peace, swolfdab.

(Roster update soon to come)

OK...so once the rosters are done, how do I transfer them from my PC to my PS2? I have one of the older PS2 models which I have heard will work with a USB flash drive, though I have not tried it myself. Is this correct or do I need something else?

Much less than the other guy only charging because of the sleep I am losing and the headaches from staring at the screen for hours on end. LOL! Other than that, everything is all good!

@rimbaud76

you will need a MAX drive

[DJG]

Yea I've never downloaded a roster for ps2 through a pc so I'm not sure how it works either. I kinda know about max drive but still a lil confused.

[ALC]

Didnt mean to go off on a rant it just was differnt seeing that the ps2 was still around. I applaud you in your effort to keep the fan base and game around. Yes you do have a point it is your choice on what game you support and play.
My question is why couldnt they have try to improve the ps2 game and system. You have more gammers wishing that it wasnt done away with. Plus trying to get use to nextgen has been something else. To all of you loyal ps2 players my hat goes off to you. I do hope you continue to find success with this game. Peace ALC

Its cool man, I don't blame you honestly because this is the first PS2 Madden I've played in almost 5 years. After getting Madden for three straight years on PS3 I just got tired of the same runaround every year. The promise of somethin great just to get dissapointed. Like I said with PS2 you already know what to expect both good & bad. EA has just as much power to make the PS2 version great as they do next-gen. While they give a good effort there is always room for improvement. Hey its all good tho, we all in it for the same goal & thats to have fun with a great football experiance.

[swolfdab]

So... here we go.

For all of us PS2 fanatics , a roster update for Madden 12!!!!!

Now, you must understand that these rosters are NOT PERFECT! Reason is, because the developers for PS2 only gave us so much room to work with as far as roster spots, free agents, etc.

So, you all know that PS2 Madden is quite different in a sense that you must have a minimum amount of players at each position to start a franchise, play games, etc... Well, teams don't always meet the same requirements as PS2 Madden, so I ran into some instances where teams only have 7 or 8 active offensive lineman. (Hence, Madden will not allow you to start a Franchise with only 7 offensive lineman, or 6 defensive lineman or what have you.) So, basically what I did was added players that were on the practice squad to the roster, just to meet minimum requirements.

And as you all know, for some reason, this year, they didn't put any game gear on a lot of the players... A ton of players have a 2-bar face mask and bare arms... For whatever reason EA didn't do that, I don't know, but I didn't have time to do that either... So you can wait for me to do all of that (which I am going to do it on my personal file anyways...) and I will update that for you as well in a week or so.

Then what was done?

DONE:
- Post-lock-out transactions, up to Saturday September 10th, 2011.
- All teams contain first 5 rounds of draft picks (granted they made the team ). And most of 6th and 7th if they made the team. (Madden picked and chose which rookies to add.)
- Adjusted height/weight for all players as listed on team website.
- Updated numbers/positions for all players as listed on team website.

NOT DONE:
- QB strength adjustments.
- Equipment adjustments.
- Overall ratings adjustments. (I will let you be the judge of your own ratings, but again, I will have an updated ratings roster out in the next week as well.)

Overall, these rosters are 1,000,000X better than what they gave us, believe me! And in a week, they will updated, but as far as Week 1 goes, we have ourselves a winner!

They are going to be $5 over on my pay-pal account. (swolfdab@yahoo.com)

Once I receive your payment, I will send you the .max file through e-mail.

Happy playing to all,
swolfdab.

I'll definitely be interested in buying that roster update. I bought PS2 madden 2 days ago and was shocked at how horrible the rosters are. EA had plenty of time to update the rosters prior to the release, I don't know why the didn't, but it is a damn shame.

My question is before I buy this roster update, is there anyway to transfer files from PC to PS2 without spending $30-40 on a max drive? I spent $40 on madden 12 because I wanted an updated roster as compared to madden 11, but of course the rosters were barely updated at all. Spending a total of $80 or so just to be able to update my roster just sucks.

Well, actually, you don't NEED a max drive. I can send you the file in a few different formats... Including .pws .cbs .npo .sps .md .p2m .xps -- In other words, if you have codebreaker, nport, sharkport, xploder, or xport, I can send you the file in any of those formats... To do it any other way, you need a hacked PS2 and I don't own one... So, if you haven't already invested in one of these, you can always try used on ebay or craigslist... Don't spend $40 on a max drive if all you're going to use it for is Madden.
