Make Previous Madden Rosters Available for DL; the Future of Madden Franchise

So, basically just as the title says, I really think EA should consider adding rosters from previous years to the Download Center, and make them available for download for Franchise players. I had just come across the fact that some individuals from the Madden community (thank you very much if you happen to read this) had already created many past rosters, as well as draft classes with current players, and made them available for download WITH face scans and roster profile images included. If individuals within the Madden community can accomplish such a feat, then why does EA not do this?

I would like to think that somewhere on file, EA Sports would likely still have these rosters and ratings preserved. If so, why not do as the Madden community has already done and include them automatically in the Download Center, using what face scans and information they have available? They could do this with draft classes as well. Worst case scenario for players, since EA likes their money, EA could even charge like $4.99 for a yearly roster / class, include decade bundles, or even a subscription service that gives instant access to all of it, that you purchase in store. Not ideal for the average player of course, but even still, having the option there would be a serious win imo, especially for content creators, and would be a nice step forward to making Franchise more enjoyable imo. For EA, it would even be an idea that could make them some serious extra revenue apart from MUT.

The other thing to consider though, does it become redundant for EA if the Madden community is already creating them? Well, if the potential for EA to make money is there, than no. If they included them for free...well there's an argument for maybe likely. BUT, I will say as a Franchise player myself, and someone who edits rosters and creates draft classes most years, I would love if EA included them. Anyone who's ever edited rosters and created draft classes knows how time consuming and utterly boring it can become, so to save the time and effort, even if I had to purchase them, I at least would be incredibly grateful.

If they were to do this, get Team Builder refined and properly working, and maybe do a little more work on Franchise, they would seriously give credible reason for me to believe they are serious about getting right. Some things that could be (re)included into Franchise mode would be: 

• "Create a Division" (like CFB conference editing)
• Pick or draft a coach for Fantasy Leagues (instead of always having the team default while including the ability to choose from coaching legends)
• Add the ability to start as a Player back in to play out specific player careers
• Refining or redoing player motivations (so that not everybody wants to play in a state with warm weather and no income tax....)
• Consider to begin to including offensive and defensive coordinators
• Fine tuning salary cap to increase with money demand

Literally any of these things would be an improvement on Madden 26, but as always, the ball is in EA's court, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Also, feel free to leave changes you'd like to see come to Franchise Mode in the Reply Section, I'd love to see some different ideas that people have to improve on the game, then maybe EA will take note of some!
