Question about roster updates.

Just a question. Have there been roster updates? I have been using the same roster's that i have been using since the first day it released. I got roster updates for online but they dont seem to affect the franchise mode. Lions still have Roy williams, Tom Brady was never injured, rookies have never changed, etc etc etc. I just want to know if i'm not uploading them right or what.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. It gets boring in franchise using the same ratings all the time.

Re: Question about roster updates.

I don't think there were any roster updates after release. It seems that almost immediately after release, EA took all the developers and put them on Madden 10. While this is great news for Madden, as these developers clearly know their stuff, I think it basically killed Head Coach. This is a shame, as this game had SO much potential. It was already a really good game, and a little tweaking and updating would have made this my favorite American football game of all time.

I believe there was one roster update because Steve Slaton went from being an awful bust to pretty good. I think it came out around November. The update, however, only works if you start in training camp, not the offseason. Download it and load it up at the start of the franchise and you're golden.

Re: Question about roster updates.

I'm pretty sure there was only the 1 roster update. I'll do some research, and see what was changed.

Re: Question about roster updates.

I like to re-do the 2008 Draft, so I hadn't checked out the roster update before. There are clearly a number of difference between it and the default rating for both veteran players and draftees; Matt Forte had a 92 potential under the Balanced philosophy! I was also able to sign Ruben Brown at 900,000; he was a 81 overall and potential. No more signing a 1 year deal for 4 million for Ruben. It's really tempting to consider using the roster update with the updated attributes; I may do it my next career.

Re: Question about roster updates.

So there is no way to use the updated rosters and start from the offseason?

And what do yall do about the game freezing so much? Have any tips?

No, you have to start from the preseason to use the update. As for freezing, all I can say is save frequently.

I knew nothing about this. Great info, DMG! I'm with the Mrs. here: I like to redo the draft. I'll have to try it the other way just to see the new ratings.

Re: Question about roster updates.

yes the roster update includes the patch that fixes the injury bug and other things like that.

However, you can't use it on a previously saved game. So if you've been playing and then updated the game, the updates won't affect the saved games.

you have to start over from the beginning.
