Roster Updates Prior to Franchise Start

As has already been stated, we will be using the roster update that EA released on launch day to start our franchise with. There will be minor edits done to this roster; to account for moves made that EA didn't account for in the update, as well as approved position change requests.

Our intention is to give our owners the opportunity to make their own cut downs to the 53 man roster, to give everyone maximum control over shaping their team to their liking. We had initially planned on going with the 75 man preseason roster, that are the default rosters on the game, and making roster edits to account for signings up to the release.

Doug (CHUNKNESS) did a great job poring over the rosters in the early release game and comparing them to the NFL transaction wire. He found a total of 96 transactions (signings and trades) that were unaccounted for in the game. We all owe him a debt of gratitude for taking on such a task!

However, EA surprised us with a launch day update to account for most of the moves already. I was able to compare the list of moves that Doug supplied and found only 12 moves unaccounted for in the new update. I completed the moves I was able to and they are as follows:

• TE Dante Rosario > sign FA to Cowboys
• TE Colin Cloherty > sign FA to Falcons
• QB Thaddeus Lewis > sign FA to Lions (Unable to Complete - Roster Full)
• RT Johnny Culbreath > sign FA to Lions (Unable to Complete - Roster Full)
• TE Cameron Morrah > sign FA to Lions
• WR Matthew Willis > sign FA to Lions
• MLB Ryan Rau > sign FA to Panthers
• TE Dominique Curry > sign FA to Panthers
• LE Doug Worthington > sign FA to Redskins (Unable to Complete - Cap Space)
• CB Ryan Steed > sign FA to Steelers
• MLB Greg LLoyd > sign FA to Steelers (Released P Bryan Moorman (lesser of 2 punters on roster))
• TRADE: HB Felix Jones (Eagles) - LOLB Adrian Robinson (Steelers)

As you can see, there were a handful of moves that I was unable to complete due to roster or cap space. If those teams would like to claim those players, just let me know who you would like to drop from your team to do so.

I have uploaded the roster with those edits to the file share function within M25. You can search by my PSN ID (LtJustice) and you will see the files I have shared. I have both, the Launch Day Update as well as the edited QSF Rosters, shared on there.

I will be making updates for granted position change requests and updating the shared roster as well.

If anyone has any questions or concerns, please let me know.

Thanks,

~Jim

UPDATE:

TO BE DONE AFTER THE START OF THE FRANCHISE

• TRADE: OLB Parys Haralson (49ers) - 7th Round Draft Pick (Saints)

Nice work Jim!

I have the latest and final 75 showing moves made up to aug 23 if you saved it as custom you could use it imported if interested. If not first one works better for me anyway lol.

Sorry you said that if I read better loo

Great stuff guys! Just anotherreason why the Q is a cut above 99.9% of sim leagues. Good work!

Great job Doug and Jim for making easy for the rest of us

Awesome job guys!!!

I dont know if it matters much but Edgar Jones was traded to the Cowboys from Cheifs

Jim, do you know if it is a possibility to upload rosters to the community? I do not believe so, but I haven't had an opportunity to check.

Sadly, it does not appear so.

Thanks Eric.

However, we are going to leave the rosters as it from this point. Since any moves made now are influenced by the cut to 53, and we will be allowing you all to do that yourself, we aren't going to make anymore changes based on moves in the NFL.

I have a quick question, not sure it was brought up as of yet. But Im assuming there will be trade guidelines set like last year, right?? To ensure that entire franchises dont get shipped off, etc...

awsome

Have you looked at the League Rules lately?

...Have now!!

I was curious LtJustice, are we going to be adding the recent waiver claims at all? My team picked up a few pieces. Nothing great, but I have to take all the talent that I can get. Kind of scraping from the bottom of the barrel here just looking for players.

The players the Jets claimed off of waivers were RB- Alex Green (packers) and T - Ben Ijalani (colts)

Sorry TJ, because we are sticking with the preseason rosters, we won't be implementing any further transactions. Otherwise we would pretty much have to just go with the NFL's 53 man rosters.

Do these rosters include the Parys Harrlson trade to the Saints?

Question for the moves by Lions, since roster is full. How can I make them work? Or at least a couple of them. There are guys I'm going to want to cut!

Post for Jim who you want cut and he'll do so.

If the trade took place before the NFL 53 man rosters were announced, yes.

Ok. I will be looking tonight!

That one slipped through the cracks. Since it happened almost a week ago, it will be implemented.

49ers got a draft pick, will I be getting that or what?
