I just finished the second pre-season game, but I did get like 110 efficiency points in the last game. Then I just went to Madden gamer level and all of a sudden these old school ballers were free agents! AAAAH! Does anyone know a way around this?Originally Posted by UxKa

must just be a console glitch then. i went 15-1, won rookie of year, QB of year, super bowl, superbowl mvp, and pro bowl mvp, and i dont have any of the HOFs in my game in the second season now. i regularly averaged about 200 influence points per game, up to 350 on a couple games. for the record im playing on pro level, was pretty rusty on madden so didnt want to go for the gold right away but at least i wasnt playing on rookie lol
Yes, the HOF players showing up as FA's is in fact a known glitch on the consoles.
This is taken from Operation Sports, specifically Shawn Drotar:
I've received a response directly from the Madden team.
Apparently, the people who told me that HOFers were not going to be added to Superstar/Franchise rosters at Community Day were "misinformed".
"...the (design) team wanted to give players the ability to use HOF players on current rosters. This is intentional."
***
This is the workaround recommended by the Madden team if "players do not want to use this feature":
"Hall of Fame players are added to the roster on boot-up and whenever you move up in Madden Gamer Level. In order to prevent these (players) from being on your Franchise team, you have the following options:
1) Save off the roster upon boot-up, and load once you are in-game and then head into Franchise mode.
2) Go online and get the latest roster and start a Franchise. This will also remove the players. Once you have started a Franchise, these players won't show up, as the roster is saved with the Franchise."
To add to that, if you already have a saved Profile with a Madden Gamer Level high enough to unlock HOFers immediately, I'd recommend copying it to a memory card, removing it from your hard drive (if applicable), and booting the game without it so it doesn't auto-load.
You'll have the default rosters (and the ability to load customized ones from memory) and bypass the MGL/HOF functionality. Then, after the Franchise/Superstar is saved, you could load your profile normally.
The above instructions should also apply to Superstar mode as well as Franchise.
***
Now, seeing as how quickly everyone jumped on EA here, I'd like to point out that their response regarding a workaround took only a few business hours after I called them yesterday, informing them of this and alerting them that I would post that evening in advance.
Thanks specifically go to Michael Johnson of EA, who worked after hours last night after we spoke and coordinated this workaround so quickly today, and the Madden design team for getting back to us and responding to the community's need for information.
Sweet. Thanks bp. I'm definitely going to download the roster update, I'll give that a shot.

mmmm cheese lol
like i said i hadnt played more than a couple games of madden in the last 2 years or so, so i wanted to get my chops back before getting slaughtered. im on all-pro now.
I'm really frustrated with online play right now in Madden. Online ranked matches are where its at. BUT, I got royally screwed today and it has happened to me on NCAA as well.
Here is the scenario:
I'm up 3, I've got the ball on my opponents 20 yard line and I just got a first down. There is only 2 minutes left in the game. I'm averaging about 8 yards a carry. The game is in the bag. He has also used all of his timeouts.
All of a sudden the game stops and says that it lost connection. My modem was fine, all cords fine. The game just lost connection. I get a loss and a DNF for the game that I was two minutes away from sealing up. I talked to my opponent who was real cool and he said that he got a loss too.
I'm so pissed, I was 2 minutes away from being 10-2 and instead I'm 9-3 with a DNF on my record. Bullshit
