You can create a customer player and play with them in a franchise game as long as it is Offline mode (just you against the AI) because the online modes only use active or updated Madden Rosters.
You have to set up the player before you start a franchise and save him to that custom roster. Then load that custom roster into the new franchise. I've done it with a fullback with slightly better than average stats (but still good for a fullback and of course named after me).
My question that the boards are never answering is what the heck happened to GameFace on the PS4's version. I didn't see that anywhere in the creation zone and when it is asked on here its just brushed aside with a link to doing it for FIFA, older Madden's, and UFC - don't see anything on Madden 15?!?
Answer the question already EA.
