What type of BS is this? I went to Best Buy this morning, to pick up Madden 12, and came home ready for some football. I go to start a franchise with the young Oakland Raiders led by Terrell Pryor, and low and behold he is nowhere on the roster. So I said ok, I'll play a quick exhibition with the Eagles, and Kevin Kolb is leading them on the field. After some googling I find out that you have to be a Gold member for roster updates. I just cancelled my Gold account, and I don't plan on getting another one anytime soon. Am I supposed to pay for a roster update in addition to the game when PS3 owners have no such headaches?

Ppl erroneously think we cows slam XBL for a measly $60 fee. We don't. We slam XBL because of the nickle-and-dime you attitude of MS including their $60 fee for updating your football roster or whatnot. It's not a good direction for the industry, doesn't add anything to the fun, and companies like MS are just abusers and pigs. Get a PS3 and leave the BS behind.

That is strange, you would think being connected online regardless of being gold/silver should allow the roster to update.

Good thing I don't play sports games on consoles.
