    Hey guys,

    Thought I'd drop a thread about when we should start this thing up.

    Do you guys want to start a couple days after release??? or would you rather wait til the roster update?

    The reason I ask is because we will be able to move the players on the roster, so IF we wanted to start and hit the ground running, then we could. Keep in mind...the sooner we start the more seasons we can get in!

    I don't care if the rosters aren't 100% accurate as long as all the big names have been moved to the correct teams. I am willing to get started ASAP.

    We can get a list of roster moves and make the changes ourselves pretty easy.

    I agree with this GTG...I don't care about the 53rd player that will be cut in the first offseason...we've seen the bottom feeders change teams a ton.

    yeah even Victor Cruz who lit up preseason for the Giants didn't amount to anything special. The only guy last year that I would say made a significant difference and/or change from preseason to insseason was Danny Woodhead

    Isn't the roster update going to be like a week after the game is released since the real NFL season starts right away? This used to be a problem when we had to wait a whole month for final rosters but now with madden being pushed back till the 30th, i don't think waiting 6 days for the official rosters to be set and released would be a problem. Im probably in the minority though.

    If it's only 6 days we should wait. Unless the commish's want to do the manual movement. I'm down for whatever but agree just want to kick some arrseee

    when the game comesout, you can do the moves manually, but the rosters may have players that will not be on the official nfl final roster. I am not sure when is the nfl final cut date, but it would make sense to wait until the first rosters come out with all the final cuts completed.
