What is up with connected careers (madden)?

[Raycolts12]

Every time i do a roster update, that same roster i save won't be used in connected careers. It keeps using the default one from when the game first came out. It has Luck at an overall of 79 and has us without vonte davis. WHY?

You can NOT use custom rosters in connected careers. Also, if you are connected to the internet and have the latest roster update, Vontae Davis is on the Colts. Luck is an 84 overall but considered (by Madden) a 79 in the Colts offensive scheme, a player's overall is adjusted according to how he fits in his team's scheme.

So you can't start Connected Careers with the latest roster update?

You've done it again, EA!

That's not what I said. You can't use a custom roster (ie. edited players and custom trades) in Connected Careers, but you can use roster updates.

I am upset, however, that they removed co-op from local franchise (Connected Careers). There's no excuse for that at all, but they did patch in fantasy draft yesterday so there is minor hope they do the same for co-op.

Oh. Well, with EA, you can never rule anything out...

The latest connected career roster update has Davis and Freeman, the next 1 will have Freeman's overall bumped up 7 points. Connected career roster updates are basically a week later than the online roster update.
