Injuries Preventing Custom Roster Creation and Other Gripes

We should be able to create custom teams and rosters more easily. It is so frustrating that a BASIC feature that functioned perfectly well from Madden 12-18 when I played religiously is absent from the game. The feature I'm talking about is custom rosters. I wanted to create my ideal roster to play in Franchise mode, yet many of my favorite players are injured on the roster and I am unable to trade them. The same goes for injured players that I would like to trade off of my team. I am honestly baffled that this is even the case. What are you guys thinking? If it is a ploy to push more players to MUT so you can profit off the desire of people to play with custom roster, then you are truly the problem that is plaguing gaming right now. I think the entire EA Madden team should play EVERY Madden in the franchise so they can see why we love it and why anyone who loves the sport of football and knows the sport of football sees this as an arcade game. You are supposed to be THE simulation gaming experience for the NFL. Be it, please. Bring some actual functionality to the game and people will only have positive things to say. Divest from ensnaring the youth of America in your gambling scheme and allow them to appreciate a good game. I've tried my hardest to keep this post succinct, as I am sure you have heard all of this already. The complaints of the players falling on deaf ears is nothing new and I could write pages about the changes that need to be made. I do not have the time right now to get into all of it, but I might someday. Most seem to have been addressed by other players, not the developers.

I hope that the Madden franchise stops besmirching the good name of our beloved coach and announcer and can return to what it once was, a cutting-edge sports simulation game.
