krulmichael's OFFICIAL Madden NFL 10 Roster Updates Thread (PS3 ONLY)

[jeffx]

Hey Krul, make sure Ramses is on my G-Men!

You've always done great work, so I'm looking forward to these.

[krulmichael]

Hey Krul are you doing ratings changes as well or just equipment an CAPS

the reason I ask because last year on my roster file i did a re-rating project with using ESPN player rankings for ever position and can do it for you this year if you want

but if you do player ratings PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give Michael Goodson some speed around 93-94...88 does him no justice and i hate the Panthers

I know player ratings is an "iffy" subject to change myself. In past years I used to use a website for rating re-changes, that site isn't up anymore. With that said, I don't think I'm gonna do too many rating changes unless I feel like it's absolutely necessary.

Alright, I must say that I do hate when EA completely deletes players (especially ones that will more than likely make the team, albeit injured or not) and yet leaves guys in FA that more than likely won't even be on a team this season. Makes no sense.

So I hope you guys don't mind, but the key guys that they did remove on this updated I will be creating over again, so they may not have a photo or career stats, but at least they are in the game.

[krulmichael]

Alright, so far I have copied down these guys to create in the update:

Plaxico Burress (WR)
Graham Harrell (QB)
Casey Fitzsimmons (TE)
Ramzee Robinson (CB)
Chris Clemons (LE)
John David Booty (QB)
Kenny Watson (HB)
Tatum Bell (HB)
Koren Robinson (WR)

Lemme know of any other significant ones if I left em out.

[Proof21]

That is really dumb that they got rid of those guys.

[Boucher]

Krul id really like to help out with these rosters, i love editing players equipment and such. Since im still on holidays i can work on then during the day while you take over at night

Hey Guys,

Just giving you all a heads up that I plan on releasing Version 1 tomorrow afternoon/night (before the Season Opener). I have 6 teams remaining and I plan to get at least 3 more done before I call it a night. Holy crap has this been a tiring process. I'll give more details bout the update when I post it tomorrow. Thanks for your patience!

Later,

Michael

[krulmichael]

Just letting you guys know that I just have 3 teams depth charts left (which should take like 15-20 mins tops) and then I'll post Version 1. I am watching the Steelers/Titans game first though, so expect it later tonight after the game fellas!

Have plenty of release notes about the roster as well.

Whats the word, krul?

Hey Guys,

So, the moment you all have been waiting for (including me so I can finally start my damn franchise)...the opening day rosters are COMPLETE! Now with that said, lemme give off some quick notes bout this update before all you guys starting complaining bout different things (sorry, but it's bound to happen lol). Obviously this roster is first and foremost for my personal use, but I choose to share my hard work (try wasting 3 days of your life, lol) with you guys. Obviously these aren't perfect nor will they ever be as I can only do as much as the game allows me to. So here are a few notes to be aware of before posting about it (and please for the love of God read this before you start posting things that I pointed out below).

Version 1 Notes

• First and foremost, lemme just say that I don't expect everyone to agree with certain things I did with the roster, which is completely fine. You can edit the rosters to your liking before you start your franchise (of course, if you are looking to distribute them online, make sure to give me credit for the base set).

• For players that are on IR or injured in real life, but aren't in the game, I still have them listed as the starter because the majority of us that are using this roster are using it for franchise mode. So for that reason, I have them starting because I don't want their player morale to drop by the end of the year and then demand a trade or to be cut simply cause they didn't play at all. The lone exception to that rule is 49ers WR Michael Crabtree which we all know bout his situation. He's still on the 49ers roster, but not listed on the depth chart. Tough decision to make for me, but you can put him in before you start your franchise if you want.

• Not ALL 53 players are on each roster. There may be 2-3 missing, but that should be max and that was simply to save players (the ones missing aren't starters).

• Since you can only create 11 players this year without a glitch happening that makes them disappear, I turned FA's into other players. That means some guys will have pics of people that they aren't, but the way I did it was trying to go by skin color, height, weight, and age. So most players should match up pretty well, albeit not exact. It'll have to suffice though.

• When looking at the player management screen, you'll probably see alot of offensive lineman, defensive lineman, linebackers, and some safety's that'll be at the wrong position (ie. a guy that's LG in the game, but plays RG in real life). Don't worry bout it too much as I went through every teams depth chart and they are starting in their correct spots.

• There's maybe 3-4 exceptions of players that aren't on a team anymore that I simply couldn't release (mostly because their centers or defensive tackles).

• Didn't get to all backup QB's throwing styles in this update, hopefully I'll take the time to do that in future updates (although don't expect them all to happen in one update).

• Jets Starting SS Jim Leonhard is at FS so he can be KR/PR. For some odd reason, EA won't allow you to put a SS at KR/PR this year. Weird.

I think that about covers it. Hope you guys enjoy and I plan on releasing a new update every week (or every other week depending on what happens each week in the NFL)! The update is in the 2nd post of this thread (as will all of my updates from here on out).
